    These "reviews" are BS
    This movie is great. Great characters, great music, and a great message. It has silly moments (chickens?) and inspiring moments(More Than This), and intense moments clashing with corruption. The values of family, individuality, and working towards your dreams are in focus. The animation is a nice juxtaposition old school and new. My two young girls absolutely love it. I just do not get why people are hating on it. OR DO I? These reviews take time, and it seems like lots of people have a lot of time to trash something without really saying anything at all. Not seeing a whole lot of specific comments on what's actually wrong...

    Over-Hated; Give it a Chance
    Wish works as a brand-new fairy tale and prequel story of sorts for some of Disney's most classic films. (Though explaining how would require some spoilers). It follows the story of a young woman hoping to become a powerful sorcerer's apprentice when she discovers a dark secret. The rest of the movie is spent trying to find the best way to deal with said secret.

    This movie is over-hated because it's not as good as other Disney movies, because the songs aren't that strong, and because the art style made it look dated. These are fair criticisms, but it doesn't make the film bad in and of itself. There is a decent story here with interesting characters and a unique world to explore. I think time will eventually vindicate this movie.

    The plot and world are reasonably thought-out, it pays decent tribute to Disney's other works, most of the animation is very strong and beautiful to look at, there is a good moral and message, and the movie is enjoyable and imaginative. Really, the only thing I find that holds it back is that it was not Disney's best - but this is not really a fair criticism.

    Most kids will enjoy it, so will lots of adults. Give this movie a chance.
