After the star falls from the sky, it is revealed that it also has magical powers to grant wishes.

Unwishful qualities
- The song "This Is The Thanks I Get?!" is a major downgrade of a villain song when compared to their older masterpieces such as "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, this Wish song even became notorious on social media sites such as TikTok, with many people saying how bad it is.
- Similar to Hop, Escape from Planet Earth, Minions, The Grinch, Wonder Park, Scoob!, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank Rumble, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild]], Hotel Translvania: Transformania, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the movie's pacing will most likely be too fast, especially for a Disney film.
Trivia
- Star resembles a Luma from the Mario franchise. Coincidentally, The Super Mario Bros. Movie came out seven months prior to Wish on April 5, 2023, which features a Lumalee who is morbid and suicidal, and is voiced by Juilet Jelenic.

I would've edited this page if I had more pointers (I need to come up with more), and I decided to just make the page rather than working on it more. NewMarioBobFan (talk) 21:57, November 26, 2023 (UTC)
TBH, I'm actually considering deleting this page due to the mediocre reception of this movie, and the videos about it posted here prove it. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 00:14, November 27, 2023 (UTC)
- No. I worked on this page so much and if it was deleted, it would be a complete waste. I would also be mad. NewMarioBobFan (talk) 00:19, November 27, 2023 (UTC)
- And the movie has gotten a lot of good reviews, similar to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, Trolls: Band Together, and more. NewMarioBobFan (talk) 00:20, November 27, 2023 (UTC)
- Well, sorry, but it is what it is. This wiki is (and should be) based on the general consensus' views on a certain product, and if this film's reception isn't all that positive, then it really shouldn't have a positive page here. SuperStreetKombat (talk) 00:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
