easterlily-60116 - 29 March 2024 A really great family movie that everyone can enjoy I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the movie. It is on par with Disney/Pixar movies and one could argue that the attention to cultural detail is even better.
The plot is missing a few puzzle pieces but it's nothing that ruins the experience as a whole. A lot of people compare this to Aladin and I guess they are not wrong. But this movie is still very unique and have its own style, mainly focusing on the comedy but still very emotional and with a great ending that wraps everything up. In my opinion, good or even decent endings are a rarity today.
It's a must watch for everyone and suits perfectly as a family movie.
fekkolus - 18 January 2023 Good with children Wishdragon was fun to watch with my 5 yr old. Surely, its nothing new, but compared to many of the family-movies, which i watched lately, it has a very decent depth and sufficient takes on ethical question to raise some interesting discussions with your children.
And some gags really gave me a good laugh.
I'd wish that all the villain storylines wouldnt be there but that seems to be impossible given our Zeitgeist. These fights and the haunting are at times a little annoying, although the assistants of the supervillain are somewhat funny.
Overall, its certainly not the Kind of film that is really a thing for adults alone. But with children, I'd definitly give it a go.
