Wish

[blackcauldron85]

Here's the ABC sneak peek. The only new thing was a little animation of Star and Tinker Bell at the beginning.

Thank you!!!!

So are tickets only on Fandango? That little spot with Valentino & Star said tix are on Fandango... I'm not opposed to Fandango, but I've experienced & seen them double booking seats, which I haven't experienced with Atom...

Here's an Atom Tickets link. It doesn't work for me, but probably because I'm outside the US. Hopefully, it does for you.

They made clues with emojis, what song do you think each pair of emojis represents?

October 18: "This Wish"
October 25:
November 1:
November 8:
November: 15:

I've realized only "This Wish" and the October 25 song (most likely "This is the Thanks I Get?!") are released before the November 1 deadline to submit songs for the Oscars, so unless they're debating between one of those two, I don't think they're doing this to help them choose their Oscar candidate like they said, but just to promote the film.

Thanks, D82!! I should have clarified; I mentioned it I think up top somewhere...only a couple theaters a few towns away are showing as having tickets...I haven't been to Fandango to check but I didn't know if there was like a special partnership or something with Disney. Maybe it's too early & I just need to be patient.

I think that they just needed to find new ways to promote the movie because they don't have the actors to do that.

It's rather sad, really. I was hoping Wish would feature a major romantic subplot (Asha + the King was my bet; the two Teens who have a crush on one another don't count), but alas it wasn't meant to be.

Which two teens have a crush on each other?

[Mooky]

^^ I believe it was mentioned in this thread that one of the male Teens (not sure which one) has a crush on Bazeema.

Do you guys also think Ashas Cape shes wearing in the Song snippet is a nod to the Cape of Cindrrellas Fairy Godmother? The blue along with the pinkish bow gives me the impression

Has that actually been confirmed though? Because there’s no evidence of it in any of the books in those read-along videos.

Gotta say this is the most hyped up I've been for a Disney Animation release in my adulthood. The Star character is gonna be a big merchandise mover. I have reservations about the goat but I'm optimistic the final product will deliver. I appreciate that they are actually advertising their songs in their trailer, which has been a problem I've had with modern Disney marketing.

No, you're right, it's just speculation at this point.

[Almofadinhas]

I'm so excited for this movie! I love every thing stars related so I was hooked from the concept! Also, I'm sure this will be the closest I'll ever have to having a Disney movie set in my country, so instant bias there. I personally think the art style looks beautiful, even if there's clear room for further polish and experimentation on Disney's part. I'm also so grateful that we finally have a full blown non-twist villain again AND a villain song! At last!

What's your guys box office prediction for this movie? This movie will definitely make 500 m+ cause if a movie like Elemental with bad marketing and the lowest opening weekend can make that much than so can Wish that has more hype than Elemental.

[D23ExpoVisitor25]

Anywhere from $500-$600M WW is where I see Wish at globally.

Also, that other song "Knowing What I Know Now" kinda has a beat similar to "Strangers Like Me." You know, when the beat goes "ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bum" in a fast=paced way.

Also, I wonder if the animation of Star interacting with Tinker Bell is something we see in the end credits.

It has been revealed what song will be released each week. The people here who shared their guesses got it right. It says Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays because they premiere a day early on SiriusXM's Disney Hits channel.

Wish Wednesday Previews Schedule

Tuesday, October 17 – “This Wish”

Tuesday, October 24 – “This Is the Thanks I Get”

Tuesday, October 31 – “Welcome to Rosas”

Tuesday, November 7 – “I’m a Star”

Tuesday, November 14 – “Knowing What I Know Now”

Asha and Magnifico's duet "At All Costs" and Julia Michaels' end credits song "A Wish Worth Making" are the only ones that are not part of this, but we'll get to hear them just two days after the last of these songs is released since that's when the soundtrack comes out.

Thanks, D82!!

Oh, I didn't remember you already mentioned you had checked Atom Tickets. I don't tend to buy tickets in advance since where I live there aren't premium screens and regular tickets are never sold out or anything, so I don't know why there aren't more showings yet. Plus, it might be different here than in the US. Maybe it's too early, like you said.

I think that they just needed to find new ways to promote the movie because they don't have the actors to do that.

Oh, good point. That must be the real reason why they're doing this. It explains why it's so unprecedented. Well, I think it's actually not a bad idea.

Do you guys also think Ashas Cape shes wearing in the Song snippet is a nod to the Cape of Cindrrellas Fairy Godmother? The blue along with the pinkish bow gives me the impression

It's true it resembles Cinderella's Fairy Godmother's cape. Maybe it is a nod to it.

Has that actually been confirmed though? Because there’s no evidence of it in any of the books in those read-along videos.

I think I started that rumor because I said the back cover of this book gave me that impression, but if there's nothing about it in the books, probably I was wrong.

It's interesting how they're using footage of Ariana DeBose from the recording sessions since they can't film new stuff with her.

Also, I wonder if the animation of Star interacting with Tinker Bell is something we see in the end credits.

That looks more like one of those animated bumpers to me. Plus, Tinker Bell is in 2D there and I doubt they'll have any actual traditional animation in the film itself, but who knows.

Here are some other sweepstakes I've seen (the last one is for the UK):

Popular fascist bigot youtuber Lauren Chen said in her video something interesting (that is not happening because we have the spoiler books) that the movie could be about Asha learning that Magnifico is not evil and she's just immature for thinking that every people wish should be granted

[blackcauldron85]

I love it!!!

[Mooky]

Whenever I listen to the part that goes "To have something more for us than this", I am instantly reminded of this line from Love Actually by the great Bill Nighy:

And particularly enjoy the incredible crassness of the moment when we try to squeeze an extra syllable into the fourth line.

[Musical Master]

The official song with lyrics:
https://youtu.be/USzJvuHQVdA?si=POabUL7UrZ42Zz7m

I still think this song is absolutely lovely and the orchestrations are really good for this type of song. I love that Ariana DeBose marks the first time since the casting of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel in Frozen, that a Broadway performing actor sings an "I Want" song in a WDAS movie. It's been a while since that happened.

I can't wait to hear the rest of the songs!
