The only thing they could do to save all the merch they made is to make a short film in from of a future movie or something for Disney Plus

This way MAYBE (just maybe) Wish gets enough popularity that they can sell the merch they already have

Not saying the brand will be popular, but like they clearly need to sell the merch, I've been multiple stores in 3 different countries and there's a ton of Wish merch from toys to books, nobody is buying them, they still cost the same exact money

So they should do a short movie

I don’t think there’s any salvaging Wish’s merch problems.

I’ll always have a soft spot for this wonky little film. I really love Star.

Wish merchandise is on sale with a 70% of discount at Disneyland Paris

If you want Asha's doll you can find it on Walmart for 3$

A Disney doll just for 3 bucks? Yikes.

They’re obviously desperate to unload this undesirable crap!

Same. I don't think it's perfect, but this movie just makes me happy, I love the music, I just get enjoyment from it.

And she’s the main character….just imagine how cheap they are going to sell the rest of the characters…
And they also released a new King Magnífico doll.

i can actually see the Magnifico doll be a solid success. I mean he was the most beloved character in social Media and i read that even kids wanted a Magnifico doll on Christmas

The problem here is that nobody is going to buy a re release of a doll that is not the main character.

Star was literally the only likeable character in the movie. No lines, but he stole the show.

Star was the best thing for the movie. It was a character made to sell toys and it did it well but I think that they even though that it would sell more. All the plush toys are also on sale.

Why not when hes way more beloved and popular in internet culture than the bland main character

Because the movie is a Flop. He may be popular between fans but the merchandise sales are as bad as the box office.
Also dolls are thought for children instead for collectors. Villains are not so popular between children. They are more popular between fans and the grown people who see the movie.
He might be beloved but nobody remember him.

I think the reason Encanto was such a banger with folks on TikTok (heck, around the world) is because the music was done by Lin Manuel Miranda, who had a runaway success with Hamilton (one of Broadway's most popular hit musicals of this era) and Moana.

PS, I swear if someone accuses this movie of being written/animated with AI one more time, I will scream.

I dont think noone really cared that it was written by Miranda, but what I personally loved about the Bruno song is how theatrical and multifaceted it is, you can act through various types of roles and its pretty catchy, so it was a matter of time that it blew up on Tiktok. All the other songs in the movie were carried by Brunos song, but still had personal conflicts like carrying the families pressure and having to be perfect.
But Wishs songs dont have that relatable or personal narrative that u can go "oh thats so relatable" or "so me" thing, as it Covers up generic overall things and everything Disney

I keep remembering from time to time how awful this movie was

The movie itself was not bad, it was just bland and the animation style was UGLY (no artistic excuse, just ugly) and the music didn't had any soul (except the romantic duet with the villain)

I hate that disney will never try spain or the Al Andalus ever again due to this massive flop

Hoping that Pixar makes eventually a movie about spain (eventually)

You don’t think that “this wish” has any soul to it? Let alone “This is the thanks I get?!” Even the most cynical towards this movie, which they should not be, could at least admit that about the songs

No, I don't like those two songs, This Wish is a very generic princess song and Magnifico song is just okay but still I don't like it

Don't worry, Patricier. You can only expect genuine reactions from someone who is being genuine. I thought the film was very pretty even if it didn't look quite as nice I had hoped for; either way, I expect that style was really only for the 100th celebration and they'll go back to straight 3D from here. I still hope hand-drawn might eventually revitalize on streaming in future though. The music was about as good as Miranda's soundtracks...so, in other words, not very good, but not completely unlistenable.

Hopefully PIXAR gets folded into WDAS eventually, I wouldn't be interested in a cultural movie from a dudebro studio like that one. I imagine it would turn out like that time they tried to trademark the Day of the Dead holiday.

I think their villains are very popular with children... Saying that as someone who was a child who mostly received villain merch growing up, so... And then there's both Maleficent and Cruella, which have been successful films.
