I hate to be impatient, but why can't they release second trailer of Wish already? I don't know what their marketing plan is, but whatever it is, they need to do better than that. Am I wrong or something?
August is fine, but September will be too late.

The movie doesn't release until Thanksgiving, why would they be doing a heavy marketing campaign with a second trailer now? And why would September be too late, its seem like it would be a perfect time.

You have to think about the world we live in now. We live in a fast paced short attention span world. You market a film too early and you risk potential of movie goers forgetting its being released. Also too much marketing and you risk over-saturating the market and risking movie goers getting turned off by seeing the trailer ads all the time.

The absolute soonest I could see is a second trailer is right before Haunted Mansion at the end of this month, but that is the absolute soonest. My guess is between mid-August and early September for a big marketing push.

Umm... this...

Seems to contradict this....
We don’t know anything about that. I mean, we need to stop this ridiculous fear mongering already.

I guess I can explain. There’s that user from Twitter that was overly obsessed about Wish and is demanding Disney to publish the second trailer of Wish and I’ve got into it. I guess August might make sense. Sorry about that. I shouldn’t listen to that sad person.

Am I the only one who finds that the animation for this looks just a little... off?

I'm not sure entirely what it is, but the backgrounds seem to be render as though they are flat while the characters are (sort of) three dimensional and it gives the effect of an video game origin story video to me.

Hopefully it looks good and I'll get used to it when watching the film. I did go back to look at the Encanto trailer to see why it was registering so strangely to me, and I do think there is a difference in how the characters read as inhabiting a fully fleshed-out environment:



vs.


Anyway, curious to know if it's just me!

The aesthetic is half the appeal. It's meant to evoke a storybook illuminated manuscripts type vibe. I kind of dig it. It's Disney's answer to Sony's comic book style.

I wondered whether that was what they were going for. Curious to see how it works in the film. Based on the trailer it seems midway between a normal CGI film and a 'flatter' more traditionally illustrated aesthetic, but it may just be a case of getting used to it.

I suppose the Hercules aesthetic looked a little strange at first but people came to embrace it!

We may just need to get used to it.

For example, I didn't like the animation style of Nimona when I first saw the trailer, but I ended up loving it when I actually watched the film. Hopefully, Wish is a similar case where it just seems off because we aren't used to it.

So far, I think the backgrounds in Wish look stunning, but the character animation feels like it's missing something.

Yes, that is indeed their intent. Whether it is successful we'll have to see the final product. But the goal was to meld 2D and 3D animation in celebration of Disney's 100th. Including the lore supposedly is this wishing star is a commonality in most of the Disney pictures, definitely the musicals.
