Well, it`s notable how a decade after Tangled was rumored to be in that style (and ensuring that Princess movies will be steeped in CGI, since audiences want them to be that), Disney will actually go through with that style. But I still hope that the look of the film will be appealing, no matter what. Sure, it would`ve been preferrable if the look of Wish actually looked like hand drawn, but I highly doubt that it will.

Like that would be the moment that would make me shed tears of joy in the movie as I felt Winnie the Pooh was a better character for the mascot of Disney instead of Mickey Mouse.

Perhaps we will, I don't think they'll bring all the characters, just the iconic ones and I do think Winnie the Pooh is iconic.

Others we might see are Mickey and his friends, all of the Princesses including Frozen, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, the Dalmatians, Aladdin (don't know if Genie though cause no Robin Williams ), Simba, Lilo and Stitch, etc...

When it's a combination of places, it's usually based on countries that are in close proximity and have many cultural similarities. That doesn't seem to be the case here. All other characters so far have Spanish-sounding names and the architecture of the place looks European too. The only one who stands out is Asha. Her name, hairstyle, and outfit don't read European at all. I suppose we need to see what the other characters look like first, but I was thinking maybe Asha is an immigrant or the child of immigrants or has one parent who came from outside the Kingdom of Rosas. That way Asha could be biracial, the same way her voice actress is. I think that would make more sense than having a setting that's a hodgepodge of various disparate cultures with no rhyme or reason to it.

It's probably the latter. I still have my doubts whether there will be an actual villain here and not some generic evil power that's threatening the kingdom or an antagonist who's misunderstood and ultimately redeemed.

Sounds like a REAL box office winner!

I just watched Puss in Boots and I didn't care for this style (and frankly didn't care for it in Mitchells and Spider-Verse too), while they look like "cartoon", the movement is weird and rigid. I hope Disney provides something that looks better than those movies did, from that short sneak peek they showed at D23, it doesn't bode well, but perhaps they can improve it. We'll see...

I don't think I minded it as much in Mitchells vs. the Machines, but I took real issue with this style in Puss in Boots. I thought overall it looked beautiful, but I HATED how choppy the action sequences were. Everything seemed smooth until then, so it looked deliberate. Perhaps comic-book like, so I guess in that was intentional, but I don't think the style looked right in a "fairy tale" film.

Neither Pixar’s “Elemental” nor Disney Animation’s “Wish” are likely to or need to make $1 billion worldwide to be hits, but grossing over $500 million is probably key. If either film fails to make that mark, the murmurs around whether Disney’s push to prioritize streaming under former CEO Bob Chapek cost them their ability to draw families to theaters will get louder.
