Anyone know when the premiere is or when the review embargo might lift? I wonder if reviews will be available before the early screening.

Hopefully SAG will get their deal tonight so Ariana DeBose can still fulfill her promise of her bringing her super-fan friend Jazz Smith to the Hollywood premiere after all that Jazz has lost in the last 2 years (her mom and her home).

If you donโ€™t know what I mean, this video from April on Good Morning America will tell you everything: https://youtu.be/S6ogsKjnybE?si=dNZRWcjXDDyxrn5i.

The clip is also on Youtube now, and here's a behind-the-scenes featurette. The full song is already available in Europe.

Iโ€™m starting to get this horrible feeling that Valentinoโ€™s butt is gonna be the source of several jokes in the movie, but I also think that โ€œballs of gasโ€ line in the song is possibly a reference to the โ€œI thought stars were balls of gas burning billions of miles awayโ€ line in The Lion King.

Oh, well, that is a good point regarding The Lion King.

"I'm a Star" is a much better "Fixer Upper", that's for sure. The lyrics having a more "scientific and philosophical" bent is a smart idea for talking animals to sing about.

Well, as for my opinion, I`m Star is cute enough. It`s not particularly outstanding, but it`s still better than both This is The Thanks I Get?! and Welcome to Rosas. But just as the former, it sounds like something that`s coming from High School Musical :P As for the animation of that scene, there are parts of it that looks stunningly flat. As for the new banner, I like it.

I'm guessing Disney released this clip specifically as a response to people online saying Magnifico is right for how he handles the wishes but looking at the youtube comments it doesn't seem like it worked completely. I think the scene really establishes well the conflict of ideals between our protagonist and villain.

I really like all the songs we heard so far, with "This is The Thanks I Get" still being my favorite. But the one I'm really curious about and looking forward to is the duet between Asha and Magnifico.

As it was stated before that most of the scenes of the movie are nods to other disney movie scenes, I cant help but to think that this new scene you guys uploaded now STRONGLY resembles the scene where Rapunzel has this discussion with Gothel and Gothel goes "YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS TOWER" from the way the dialogue for both movies are build and the character movements etc are similar

i think it didnt work because technically Magnifico isnt selfish by granting a small amount of Wishes and making people forget theirs. Personally I am unbiased with the idea of forgetting your wish. I think for one thing that Wishes are EXTREMELY Important and make hold on in life and fight for them blah blah but if its a wish that seems too far away or too impossible but if it is still something I really want to come true, with knowing it probably will never come true, then I would prefer to rather forget it Completely instead. Ive been working on my Big dream for half a year lately and its huge and could really change my life and im soooo close but there is always coming something in my way and to think how much time I wasted for it lately makes me angry and sometimes makes me wish i would forget it completely to just move on and wouldnt waste more time.

With this being said, I dont see Magnifico as the BIG BAD how Disney tries to make him to look :shrug: all the other disney villains were PERSONAL threats to our heroes while Magnifico just tries to not drag his kingdom into Chaos...

More footage from "I'm a Star" in this video and some more TV spots and promos:

I don't know if it was meant to be a joke or not, but I found it comical that in the first one they say "100 years of magic has led us here" and then they show the hens dancing. Something more epic would've made more sense, in my opinion, if it wasn't meant to be funny.

That was my first thought as well, that it sounded like something out of High School Musical. I'm personally not a fan of that kind of music, so you can imagine how I feel about the song. I was quite disappointed by it. "I'm a Star" was the song I was most excited to hear. Based on the reactions from the journalists who had seen it, I thought it might be this film's "You're Welcome" or "We Don't Talk About Bruno," but it's actually more like a "Fixer Upper" or a "Shiny" to me. I remember Prince Kido wasn't impressed by it, though. I replied to him that maybe I would like it more, since I tend to like this type of musical numbers, but he was totally right. Both "This Is the Thanks I Get?!" and "Welcome to Rosas" grew on me after listening to them several times, but the same hasn't happened to me with "I'm a Star." In fact, I'd say it's not only my least favorite song from Wish so far, but probably one of my least favorite Disney songs overall. I hope the two songs we haven't heard yet (Asha and Magnifico's duet and the end credit song) are better. "Knowing What We Know Now" sounds nice from the snippets we've heard, but not outstanding.

Yes. I think she's quite famous in China. I guess Disney hopes her casting will help the film at the box office there.

Since the actor strike is over, how long will it take for the cast to start promoting the movie?
