The TVI Take

Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn's 2023 Disney 100th-anniversary film whose structural commitment, origin-of-wishing-stars in the Disney mythos, is more conceptually ambitious than the screenplay execution. The watercolor-and-CG-blend visual register is the film's distinctive technical achievement; the King Magnifico villain is the work's most carefully-rendered character.

Underperformed commercially but reads more interesting than its reception suggested.
