Part 3/9:
Wish is a Disney animated movie aimed at families, with the company's own marketing pitching it as a potential hit. However, the film's budget reflects the stakes involved: approximately $200 million—a hefty amount for an animated project. Such a large investment demands strong audience turnout to recoup costs and turn a profit.
Critical Reception: A Cold Reception from Critics
Despite Disney's legacy of beloved animated films, Wish has not received a warm welcome from critics. As of now, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 49%, a figure that has been steadily declining and is worse than last year's Strange World, which was a notable box office disappointment.
