Ariana DeBose gives some none-specific comments about her role in Wish.

“Even with the tumultuous times that we live in and with all the anti-LGBTQ+ hate legislation, what’s going on in Florida, they’ve stood by me,” the actress said of Disney. “They’ve allowed me to be a real partner in the making of this movie. If I can create a great working environment and be a part of the positive things that are going on, that makes more room for other people who look like me, who identify like me to come in and do the same.”

In celebration of 100 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios, the event will enjoy several delights including:

• An all-new short from Walt Disney Animation Studio directed by Trent Correy and Dan Abraham screened during the Opening Ceremony.
• Walt Disney Animation Studios Chief Creative Officer Jennifer Lee returns to Annecy to share details about the all-new original feature film Wish, for which she is both Executive Producer and a writer on the project.
• Fantasia 2000, directed by Eric Goldberg, Pixote Hunt, Hendel Butoy
• Jennifer Lee and Eric Goldberg will present a special screening of “Fantasia 2000”

The new WDAS short will be screened today at Annecy during the opening ceremony. It'll be interesting to know what it's about. I think we don't even know that right now. I wonder if they've planned something special since it's the studio's 100th anniversary this year. Could it star one of Disney's classic characters like they did with Mickey in Get a Horse? Wish's presentation will take place next Friday.

Hopefully the short is hand-drawn animated.

Anyway, if anyone is at the Annecy Festival, anyone that we in these forums know, someone has to get whoever we know there to go to the Wish panel to ask Jennifer Lee if the Tiana Disney+ series will indeed be hand-drawn animated as it has been reportedly said to be for a long time.

That would be amazing. I think a hybrid style like Wish's is more likely, but we'll see.

Not liking the style of the animation. It looks even more generic than Chip`n Dale Rescue Rangers.

You couldn’t be more wrong about what u said.

Looks like we have three straight sources saying Wish is really good/really great.

First it was Grace Randolph: https://twitter.com/gracerandolph/statu ... 94659?s=46.

Then it was Big Screen Leaks: https://twitter.com/bigscreenleaks/stat ... 50784?s=46.

Now ViewerAnon is the third, straight source in a row to say Wish is really good: https://twitter.com/vieweranon/status/1 ... 19744?s=46.

I gotta say, for all the people who are hesitant about Wish (despite it looking like it’ll be the Disney film many have wanted to see the studio go back to making since The Princess and the Frog and Tangled), it looks like they’re making a mistake being that way.

Not sure how they can know that considering the film isn't done yet. Anyway all three of them are positive about anything Disney releases so their words don't really mean anything to me

Really? Does it look better?

Actually, not all of them are all positive on all things Disney. ViewerAnon thinks Avengers: Infinity War wasn’t that good and despite Skyler Shuler hearing Haunted Mansion tested well, VA heard opposite but he thought the new trailer was good and felt things may have changed in the editing room to make it a better movie. So, we’ll see.

Also, they probably know Wish is good because of a little something called… work-in-progress test screenings, which is why Cryptic HD Quality recently posted this week that the current runtime for Wish (which might be without the end credits) is 1 hour and 29 minutes: https://twitter.com/cryptic4kqual/statu ... 68353?s=46.

I personally think it does.

Okay. Sorry if I came across as condescending, it wasn`t my intention.

I dont fully agree but I totally respect and see your point! While I dont think it looks worse than C&D, it DOES look somehow cheap. People in the media compared it with Disney Junior Animation (and i agree) becuase for me it just looks like a cheap attempt to promote it as a "homage of classic handdrawn Disney" but I really cant see the 2d in it. It just seems like a general 3d movie with a cheap layout that has NOTHING to do with handdrawn animation, its just the fanservice for people wanting Disney to do a 2d movie again .There is nothing groundbreaking or new with this animation, its just Disneys responds to all the hype and trendsetting the Spiderverse movies sent out, which are GREAT. Spiderverses Animation really feels fresh, handdrawn, personal and handcrafted, especially the 2nd. I saw Across the Spiderverse this Saturday in theatres and it was PHENOMENAL! Aside of its great characters and story, in just this movie there were several groundbreaking Artstyles which were new to the medium, for example a few scenes that looked like watercolors , while Wish didnt offer something new visually, it did remind me of these Tiktok edits where they put some filter over 3d movie scenes to look "handdrawn" and to think Tiktokers can dublicate the exact look of Wish, huge respect!

Unfortunate for you. I see the 2D in it, mainly in the scene where Valentino gets his wish and in that scene he looks hand-drawn.

I'm not fond of the animation style either. It doesn't look 2D at all. It looks more like previs. The non-photorealistic rendering they opted for makes the footage look like it's unpolished and lacking in detail, while the lines they put on top makes it look busy and unclean. The animation itself looks jerky and unrefined in places too. As for the character design, Asha and the villain look good, but Asha's mother and her human friends do not. I don't like at all the idea of Asha's friends being inspired by the seven dwarfs; I find it tacky and too on the nose. The song heard in the trailer sounds generic and unmemorable while the movie's premise seems boring and repetitive. In general, I'm not hyped up for the film despite it having some elements I usually gravitate towards. I totally understand why some people are more excited for the short accompanying it than the film itself.

Man. Aren't u just a little ray of sunshine.

Thanks for posting, D82! It was a nice cover! I like how Asha looks! But it`s still a pity that it doesn`t include more of the other characters.

Man, aren`t you a flamebaiter. You know, it`s forbidden to have personal attacks here on this board! And besides, I apologized to you for my previous comment, but I guess you didn`t see that!

I meant to respond to you earlier but was unable to when I saw the other user’s comment. But, I accept your apology and I thank you, at least, for being able to tell when you went a bit too harsh with your criticism.
