Disney's animated movie 'Wish' has garnered mixed reviews, with a high audience score but a divisive reception from critics. The film, set in the Kingdom of Rosas, features references to classic Disney characters and has been criticized for its villain. Despite a lukewarm conclusion, 'Wish' shamelessly recycles fairy tales and includes a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Easter egg. The movie has also been praised for its modern fairytale approach and topical themes. 'Wish' has received an A- CinemaScore from audiences and has sparked discussions about the future of Walt Disney Pictures. The film's villain, King Magnifico, voiced by Chris Pine, has been a point of contention among fans, who desire a villain reminiscent of the Disney renaissance. Disney partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation ahead of the movie's release to grant an 11-year-old's wish.
