#disney rewrite

[arwenkenobi48]

Been thinking about how I would rewrite Wish and here’s my thoughts so far:

King Magnifico is not a villain, period. Instead I decided to make him more akin to Merlin from The Sword In The Stone. He’s just a quirky old man with protective grandpa vibes.

Asha is already Magnifico’s apprentice at the start of the film and he fills in the role of a father figure in her life. They still disagree about the wish-granting ethics, but it’s way more amiable. Also Asha’s basically like “I’m not a little girl anymore” and Magnifico’s like “you’ll understand when you’re older”, etc. I can kinda see them having a similar vibe to how Twisted portrays Jasmine and Jafar tbh.

I decided to make the queen the main villain instead and very similar to the queen from Snow White. She manages to keep this facade of being a kind and generous ruler, but as Asha grows older, the queen finds it harder and harder to contain her jealously. She’s also subtly manipulative towards Magnifico as well.

I loved the concept of Star being a shapeshifter from the original draft of the project, so I decided to keep that element intact and make him Asha’s love interest. He’s somewhat like a gender switched Ariel, curious and excited to explore the human world and wanting to be a part of it.

I decided to change the context of the dark magic book corrupting Magnifico. As the queen becomes more and more unhinged, she starts trying to coerce her husband into doing her dirty work, but he staunchly refuses, so she uses the book to change him from a benevolent wizard to an archetypal evil sorcerer. She also does this to spite Asha because she knows how close their bond is.

In the end, it’s the queen who ends up trapped forever in the mirror and Magnifico is saved from her dark influence.

Asha’s character arc and Magnifico’s character arc are very similar as they both learn to admit when they’re wrong. Asha accepts that she still has a lot to learn and Magnifico learns to trust his apprentice with more responsibilities as she grows up.

Star’s one wish was to be human. He knows that that means giving up his immortality, but he’s ok with that because he would rather spend a finite life with Asha than be alone and live forever. His wish is granted and we get a closing narration from Magnifico (who also does an opening narration at the start) saying “…and we all lived happily ever after.” before closing the book that opened the movie.

I’m pretty sure there’s going to be other bits and parts but these are the ideas I have so far. Lmk what you all think! 👍

Young Magnifico grew up in a small village. Him and his family didn't have much, but his parents always told him about the power of dreams. His mother told him of wishing upon a star, his father kindly reminding him that no wish comes true without hard work.

Local magicians would help with what little power they had - if the crops were suffering, they'd band together and help the water flow - if a donkey ran away, they'd ask the wind to guide them to it. Magnifico was enthralled and studied with them, learning what little he could, trying to do good, too.

But when rogue magicians came to his family's land, he saw the darkness of magic. Their magic ran unruled, burning and eating and taking over whatever they so desired.

Magnifico lost his family that day. He was whisked away by the magicians of the village, seperated from them when they defended the magicless villagers from the rogues.

With scars of magic seared into his sould, Magnifico sought safety - but fear had made its way into his heart. As he grew, so did the anger. He found a woman, kind and understanding, who'd been hurt by magic as he. He had learned its craft, and with her, he learned not to fear his own powers, but nurture them.

Together, they created a sanctuary - a safe country where magic was heavily restricted. Magic is fueled by desire, and what is a desire other than an impossible wish?

Using his powers, Magnifico took the wishes of his people, keeping them safe, not for their sake, but his own. The collected safety, he and his wife would say.

When people wanted the wishes set free, fear reawoke in Magnifico. Fear is a powerful force, and with his wife by his side, he summoned forces not to be played with. King Magnifico would do anything to keep his own wish, his desire and desperation for safety, a continuous reality - no matter the cost...

There. That's a better motivation.

Ok so I opened Disney+ the other day and saw this.....

In all honesty I have no high hopes for this. But I'll still give it a chance even though every thing in this franchise (excluding: Wicked World, D1, and D2) is just....bad in my opinion. In my honest opinion this franchise is just ouat on a lower budget but that's for another time. I just wanna know if anyone would be interested in helping me rewrite this or the franchise as a whole

Here is a link to the discord for rewrites if anyone is interested

[creations-of-the-dreamlight]

Ty for the information! I'm very interested in playing around with how fairies age, I like knowing canon so I know whether I stick with it or need to rewrite it to fit better but it looks like canon can work really well. And the idea of walky talky action could be very interesting to implement. tysm !

Tinkerbell + Disney fairy fans: would it be weird for a human and a fairy to have a relationship? Like is there some weird fucky wucky age shit / mental shit I need to be aware of?

To add a bit more context as to why I’m asking this question

The mc of the rewrite makes a fairy companion. The two become partners in crime and take a vow to destroy Neverland for several reasons. They get pretty far but then discover time travel magic. They use it way to much and discover that if they die then they just reset to this one moment in each of their lives (the mc coming back from Neverland for the first time and the fairy getting exiled from Neverland). They reach the same point they did in the first timeline and from then on become time traveling scientists with a goal to research the universe and figure out everything possible about Neverland + Star magic. Also for more context the mc and the fairy can hear each other- the fairy was like Priscilla?? Or wtv that one fairy from the books is like but the magic isn’t as powerful anymore so it only applies to certain people (aka people who use star magic)

Through a series of events the mc ends as a sort of Demi god of fate. Her and the fairy become one entity, but I also feel it would make sense for both of them to come to the conclusion that they are the only people who understand each other in the entire universe and are probably the only being they could feel love for after millions of redo’s. And it’s just about a romantic relationship- they’re both effectively asexual so that wouldn’t have happened anyways.

This was supposed to be for Wish's anniversary but I'm a little late for a few days as you can see XD

A meeting between them (canon Asha and my AU!Asha, Zahra) would be quite interesting to think about.

It took longer than I thought and I'm sorry if I got any details wrong. I tried my best lol but I think they all look amazing :>

Couldnt resist drawing the starry-eyed... well Star from the original concepts!

I heard somewhere their name was Earendel, soooo Im going to roll with that and call them Earen for short :)

Backstory Idea

Earendel is a celestial being, born in the farthest parts of the galaxy. Even if they were surrounded by stars like them, they felt alone as they could not shine as bright as they did. However, they found solace by watching the humans live their lives.

They always had a fascination with humans, and grew evermore curious. This is where they learn about humans holding wishes in their hearts, and have the drive to make them come true without magic with their own faith and determination. They inspired them to take matters into their own hands. Then one day, even in the deepest, darkest parts of space, they heard an earnest wish sung to the stars awaiting for a reply.

A wish asking the heavens for something better than the reality created by the king and queen. More than willing to help, they raced down to earth to meet the girl who made this wish and help make it come true.

Motivation

They thought in the bigger picture, they were just a tiny speck in the sky with no significance. Their wish was to leave their mark and make a difference, so they too can shine bright. By the end of the movie, their new wish is to stay with their new friends and true love, Asha.

Disney's Wish poster redesign

The composition was referenced from Stardust (2007) poster because that movie is about the star character who falls from the sky and meet the main human character just like Wish's early concept.

Original poster below

[artist-issues]

I repeat: I do think Wish should’ve had a Blue-Fairy-like wishing Star come go on the adventure with her. Just so that she could “get to know” the Wishing Star, learn that it does care about what happens to her and wants what’s best for her, and then through that personal relationship, come to believe the actual message of most Disney movies, which is:

“Have faith and even more than what you wish for will come true.”

But sure, if you want to go ahead with your crappy “The power to make your wishes come true is in you,” yeah, make the Star a voiceless faceless blob. You don’t need it anyway, right?

Shout out to this one concept artist that was just throwing some amazing ideas for Star left and right, you can tell they were really into it.

Don’t know their name unfortunately but you can find these screenshots on the Wish: Behind The Scenes video, whoever this artist is I hope Disney hear them out next time
