Walt Disney's "Wish"—a new unique film combining 2D and 3D animations—is being criticized not only for its appearance but also for its villain song.

For the past few years, many movies created by Walt Disney Animation Studios have been popular because of their entertaining storylines and life lessons.

Some individuals love the main characters, such as Mulan (from "Mulan"), Rapunzel (from "Tangled"), Merida (from "Brave"), etc., but, many fans also love the villains, such as Scar (from "The Lion King"), Ursula (from "Little Mermaid"), and Captain Hook (from "Peter Pan").

One of the best things people love about these villains is their songs. However, the new "Wish" villain's song doesn't seem to get the taste of fans.

Walt Disney's 'Wish' Villain Song Criticized

NBC News reported that the new "Wish" film is being criticized and one of the things people dislike about this Disney movie is its villain, King Magnifico.

Some complained that the character, which is voiced by Chris Pine, fell flat. They said that this is noticeable, especially when Magnifico is singing his song "This Is the Thanks I Get?!"

"Is he even the real villain?" said a netizen after hearing the song.

Another Disney fan questioned Walt Disney Animation Studios; asking the production house when will they release another cool and iconic villain in their upcoming movies.

Meanwhile, other people described the new "This Is the Thanks I Get?!" song as something that ChatGPT and other similar AI tools would write.

If you visit TikTok and search for the film or its villain song, you will notice that many TikTokers are disappointed with it. However, there are also others who said that some parts of the song are great.

'Wish' Makes Old Disney Villain Songs Popular Again

After hearing Magnifico's song, many fans posted older villain songs, such as "Hellfire," "Be Prepared," "Friends on the Other Side," "Mother Knows Best," and other iconic villain songs. 

Does this mean that fans' standards for villain songs are too high? Disney experts said that for the past decades, Walt Disney Animation Studios has been setting a "high bar" when it comes to films, especially villain songs. 

Because of this, fans expected that the "Wish" movie would have another villain that could touch their souls. 

"You grow up in this culture of, like, Hades and Ursula and Maleficent and those sorts of villains ... and these new villains are introduced, they just don't do it for you," said Prof. Lindsay Hahn from the University of Buffalo. 

However, this doesn't mean that people should treat the new Disney film like garbage. Some movie experts said that Disney is just giving what younger generations want. 

This means that kids today have different perspectives compared to what older generations had when they were young. Besides, Magnifico already said that he only wants "a little bit of respect."
