Wish (Walt Disney Animation - November 2023)

[DisneyWarrior27]

You're reading too much into the post which was just pointing how the criteria used by the poster on what classifies as a Disney Princess isn't what Disney uses.

Also for what its worth its taken Disney 15+ years to do what you've mentioned with Tiana, and longer depending on the time it takes to get the series (or whatever it'll be) to screens. So its only after looking back on it in hindsight do they even consider doing something with her beyond the original movie and merch.

I know, but still.

Dude, let it go!

I can’t do that, Wade.

How can Asha be part of the Princess line when she's

Spoiler

the fairy godmother? If anything she belongs with Tink and her fairy friends. I'm guessing if the movie had done well, they'd've changed the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques to the "Wish Experiences: Featuring Asha's Amazing Assistants" or whatever. lol

No one says she's actually THE character in question, any more than King Magnifico is

Spoiler: Spoiler

the Magic Mirror

. Both would be raising way too many questions if they were so.

It's best to put Wish in the "Expanded Universe" or "Legends" category and not part of the Disney Princess canon.

I was at an event this past week where they were taking donations for Toys For Tots and in exchange for your donation, you got a free gift. I'm not gonna say there was a ton of Lightyear and Wish stuff being dropped off there, but... yeah, there was a ton of Lightyear and Wish stuff being dropped off there because it was clearly the stuff that had been cheapest to get and donate. lol

The other day on Bluesky someone posted a photo of a plushy they won in a claw machine game - it was Star, but they had no idea what it was and what it was from!

(Which got me thinking - Star was really a nothingburger of a character, no? We have no idea what motivates them, what its powers/limitations actually are, why it came down to help Asha, why it never uses its abilities usefully - why did Asha have to swim back to Rosas? - and often just does careless harm, etc. As at least one reviewer stated, you could have replaced them with a random wizard or even a simple magic wand and the plot wouldn't be much different. The wizard would be an actual character, at least.)

Even if the Princess and the Frog was a financial disappointment, Tiana at least sells a lot of merch (likely do to being the only official Black princess). I'm not sure how much merch Asha sells.

Uh, actually, PATF is a moderate success. Maybe not financially successful, but moderately successful.

I mean yeah.

That being said, it did make $5M in profit, so it was a moderately financial success, IMO.
