I was surprised and yet not surprised that Wish hasn’t even made $200 million yet worldwide....
I’ll catch it on DVD when I add it to my collection.

Why don’t you change your surprise stance and go and see it in theatres yourself if you still can?

Middling though the film was, I'm happy that the fallout has been somewhat mitigated by a better-than-expected run at the box office. It doesn't merit an Elemental-level bounce back, but the animation department doesn't deserve to sink over this. Ideally, this will telegraph to the studio that audiences do want a shake-up in their animated output while still leaving them in enough of a position to make the pivot.
Anyways, I am surprised that we haven't gotten an announcement for this movie's release on D+. I think it's for the best, though, since Disney does need to learn to not just drop everything on streaming two weeks out.

I’m sorry but those figures do not warrant for it to be labeled as ‘clawing its way back at the box office’. It still hasn’t even passed $200 million, so I wouldn’t put this in the same category as Elemental, sorry.
Does Disney own Collider or something?

He was my favorite, too! He was so cute and he wanted a fairy godmother (even though how did he know what the hell one was?!) lol.

Wow, those posters and ads were lovely and well made. Especially the last ones.

FYC posters and ads. The last poster reminds me of The Princess and the Frog
poster.
Well, you could call it a synergy, since both heroines are of African heritage

Director Chris Buck, who directed “Tarzan”and the two “Frozen” films, admitted that, at least initially, it was hard to get across what “Wish” really was. “I think a lot of people, when you mentioned the 100th anniversary film, even within the studio, they go, ‘Oh, is this just clips of all our films? Are we using all the characters?’” Buck said. [...]
“I think to a modern audience, you just don’t want to have a moustache-twirling guy,” Veerasunthorn said. “We want to know more about why. And that’s what we put a lot of work into. But then, the moment we found Chris Pine and he agreed to do this, this character just went way up.”

Then they shouldn't have hyped up the "traditional" villain, calling him "the most formidable foe".

This looks like it's going to be an amazing edition. The bonus features sound really great, and I'm really happy they decide to include Once Upon A Studio, too.

Just to add, the commercial spot specifies a 4K release will also debut March 12th.
I am looking forward to picking it up. We’ve all gone over its flaws, but there is still much to enjoy for fans of fairy tales and princess films IMO.
I hope the D-Classified featurette shows all the Easter eggs in the film. Always enjoy learning about that stuff!

Nice cover. I like that they dropped the Multi Screen Edition stuff on the covers.

I'm still not hot on the film, but I'll get the Blu anyway. I just hope that it isn't another exclusive like Strange World's was, I can't find it at Walmart anymore, just the DVD.

I see that the Steelbook is exclusive to Walmart now that Best Buy no longer sells physical media.

Unfortunately if you go to this website:
https://www.disneymovieinsiders.com/movie/wish
The only 4K edition that is listed is the Walmart steelbook, I don't see a standard edition besides the Blu-ray.
