Oh, bother.
He would be narcissistic enough to name his kids after himself.
Disgusted, but not surprised
Well all the kids in the Descendants universe have similar names to one of their parents. That's a running bit. It does indeed fit with Magnifico's character even still though. Haha.
Aw, they even did an animatic
of Magnifico and Amaya being a villain couple?
Geez, how did they bungle it this hard? Now it's just begging for a Wha Happen? from Matt McMuscles.
At this point they might as well release the rest of the storyboards as a movie.

I think there was an animatic of the Starboy floating around too. I really wanna get a documentary on this movie or something because there must've been a lot of chaos bts
Trivia.Wish 2023 has a lot of links to the deleted scenes and storyboard ideas.
It feels like they wanted to simplify what seemed like a much more complex story but either went too far or didn't go far enough, given the contention around Magnifico.

Disney+ release date has been announced as 4/3. Be interesting to see if it does any better there. It has the potential to certainly.
Wish is doing big numbers on Disney Plus.
"Per Variety, Wish drew 13.2 million viewers within five days upon releasing on April 3 on Disney+. This is the No. 3 most-viewed streaming platform premiere for a release from Walt Disney Animation Studios."

Oh, bother.
Not that this means much if it doesn't mean actual new subscribers too.
Disney Plus was a mistake for Disney in general. Not that this means I will stop using it — I sure don't give a shit if a company makes a bad decision if it means I get more entertainment.

Gotta love the press's repeated touting of the "Third most viewed Disney animated premier!" line, when there have been five. It has beaten exactly Strange World and Raya. That Overly Narrow Superlative is clearly designed to hide how awful it looks next to Pixar, with its viewership being roughly half of Elemental's.
Oh, bother.
I mean it's something. My mom was telling me the kids of a family friend—one of them anyway—was watching part of it with her this week and both my mom and her were enjoying it so far. If the film ends up getting more attention thanks to Disney+, there's that at least.
I'm not sure if you meant for that to be the most brutal Damned by Faint Praise post of all time, but either way, damn.
This is going to be so much fun.
I was honestly more hyped about Bluey's 29-min episode spectacular.
Death is a companion. We should cherish Death as we cherish Life.
Well I didn't mean for it to be. Again, the movie sparked a lot of conversation here and a fair amount of it's positive too. Wish much like overlooked Disney Animated Canon films of the past at some point or another will probably find the people who really connect to it and love it I think.

The biggest mistakes were not including the starboy and not having Magnifico and Amaya be a villain couple. A classic Disney princess movie with a cute romance would have worked perfectly for the 100th anniversary while a villain couple would have added a fresh element to the mix.
Oissu!
Inuria, I dont see any faint praise there, kids enjoyed a kids movie, what is faint about that? Like it or not these are KIDS movies and they arent meant to appeal to hardcore animation fans.
Discord: Waido X 255#1372 If you cant contact me on TV Tropes do it here.
The box office numbers say that not that many kids enjoyed it, though...
I know it was a flop, but kids are enjoying it in streaming, and there is nothing wrong with that. I dont think kids loathed it either.
Streaming numbers should always be taken with a grain of salt.
Would you be saying this about a movie you liked?
And look, I legit like Home on the Range. Yet I don't feel any need to justify Home on the Range's existence, or to boost its popularity, or to vouch for it, or to say it'll become an appreciated classic in the future. Because it won't, and you know what? That's fine. At the end of the day it's still just a movie.
So what if everyone hates Home on the Range. I am fine with liking Home on the Range myself. I'm secure in my liking of Home on the Range.

Good, you put your money where your mouth is then. But I wasnt thinking about Home In The Range, I meant more Encanto and the three Pixar movies that couldnt have flopped harder, they were liked on streaming, but this box office is what matters logic indicates kids liked them as much as they do spinach.
Oh, bother.
The Damning With Faint Praise bit is that it's only one kid who enjoyed part of Wish.
Funny, I thought Disney movies were meant to appeal to all ages.
And are you seriously suggesting that people who take issue with Wish are taking animation too seriously? That's a pretty rude way to dismiss criticism.

If Magnifico shows up in the Descendants movies, who could play him? Also, I could easily see him having a son named Magnus and/or a daughter named Magna. Haha.
