Do you have any clips to share? I watched it very carefully and didn't notice this issue.
I don't. I don't know if any scenes were on youtube.
It was in the first third of the film when I noticed it twice.
By the second half of the film my wife and I were the only ones left watching it with four kids ages 3-9 in our house.
Coincidence likely, as Son was fine on mother's phone on a game. But wife thought it was funny that kids had zero interest.
I tried. Just not for me. Glad others like it. The homages and allusions near the end became so frequent it was much for me.

Interesting ad I saw here for a Mexican streaming service.

I still think that the background in Wish are stunning. They look like a painting in the best way. It's the character design and animation that misses the mark and likely won't age well. The good news is that Disney can hopefully learn from the mistakes of wish and work harder next time they attempt a 3D film with 2D aesthetics.

Found Magnifico to be one of the Disney Villain's I've seen in a while. Wouldn't put him on the same podium as Jafar, Maleficent, and Ursula. Now if he turned out like the stories' original plans then I would agree with this statement. Also his villain song was forgettable.

You can watch Wish as much as you want, don't know where you get the idea you can't watch it. And WDAS will not do sequels forever, so you can stop that.I guess I can’t watch Wish anymore since it’s a failure and everybody hates it. And it will be a forgotten movie as Black Cauldron, Brother Bear, Robin Hood, Home On the Range, and etc. I guess WDAS will have to do sequels forever and maybe fire Jennifer Lee since it’s her fault for ruining Wish. She’s a political witch anyway!
Black Cauldron and Robin Hood are fairly well received at this point in Disney's history even if they didn't do well originally. You never really know how things will be looked at in the future. So you really need to stop with this talk, just enjoy the movie as you have when you first saw it. Don't let some people on the internet ruin your experience just because they didn't enjoy it. They should have no power over your experience or opinion on anything. The only thing that matters, as has been told to you MANY times before, is that you enjoyed Wish.

Could you provide an example of bad animation from the film? The overall style wasn’t my favourite, but I don’t recall seeing anything that was technically lacking.

Wait what? I think you have words missing, friend.

And in odd news, Wish was on the top of the online Blu-Ray best seller list for the U.S. retailer Target. After the film was on Disney+. It had been #2 before, but still, why would being on Disney+ make a film's Blu-Ray more popular? Coincidence?

I'm referring to the style of the characters. As I said earlier, I have no issues with the backgrounds.

Vision is an active cognitive process; remember the blue dress/white dress controversy?
In this case some who watched Elena of Avalor too much can have trouble. Their brains see the waltercolor style, and end up interpreting Wish as if it were Elena with minor tweaks, not seeing the smooth motion and intricate posing, etc.
Specifically, it's the third-highest streaming debut for a WDAS film on Disney+. Frozen II and Encanto had higher debuts, but they also had more advantages - Frozen II arrived shortly after pandemic lockdowns began, and Encanto arrived on Christmas Day.

Still, that's a lot of spin in that press release - since it's limited only to WDAS titles there are probably several films that had higher debuts on Disney+ (i.e. Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel titles). There are only two other WDAS films that premiered on D+, Raya and the Last Dragon (which was day-and-date theatrical and had a surcharge on D+) and Strange World. And while it's clear there are plenty of people catching up with it there or on physical formats, it's not moving the needle in terms of its public reception. The Letterboxd average rating actually dropped to 2.4 out of 5, and the consensus still seems to be that it's a "mid" movie that wasn't worthy of being the centennial marker, so I wouldn't be putting it on the level of Sleeping Beauty or Moana just yet as a "beloved classic".
'Wish' Becomes Walt Disney Animation Studios' Third Most Watched Debut on Disney+
Wish has scored the title of third most watched debut for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film. See how many people tuned in this weekend.

Then I guess........ ah who gives a hoot? This is good news to me, and I'm sure it will be a classic in some eventual time.Specifically, it's the third-highest streaming debut for a WDAS film on Disney+.

How is this being judged? Are films put onto Disney Plus in bundles after premiering before the service debuted having "premiere" numbers counted? Because Disney Plus debuted in 2019 and Walt Disney Animation Studios has only made five films since then.
(Of course, even if they track all of them, beating out films that're decades old and most people have owned and been watching on some form of home video for years isn't too impressive either. That's like saying Wish is a classic because it made more at the box office in 2023 than The Lion King rerelease..)

It's half of what Elemental did.

That's half the views as Elemental though.Then I guess........ ah who gives a hoot? This is good news to me, and I'm sure it will be a classic in some eventual time.
Likely good news for the future with Sony more than Disney.
I thought that home video hard copies were dead?
Also ask, what other dvd releases for kids came out at the same time.
Was it truly a best seller of demand? Or a best seller like a marketing push of something new out for families?
Was it a hard list to top? What other films came out on home video this same time?
