Please change this line (paragraph 1) "The art style combines computer animation with Disney's classic watercolor animation." to "The art style combines computer animation with the look of Disney's classic watercolor animation."
As no source has said they are using actual watercolors in the film, just using watercolor techniques. (from this interview) https://ew.com/movies/wish-legacy-nods-disney-films/ Heylion1 ( talk) 04:56, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
I am well-aware that the infobox instructions say score composer only but this doesn't make sense in a musical where the major source of music is the songs not the score. I think WP:IAR applies in this case. See for example Mary Poppins (film), Frozen (2013 film) and Frozen II where songwriters are listed.
Looking at the talk page archives for the infobox it appears that there is some support for treating musicals differently from non-musical films in that the song composers in musicals have a major credit at least equal and sometimes higher to the score composer whereas in non-musicals the credit for songs is usually a minor credit. The current instructions are not taking into consideration the unique role songs play in a musical but reflect the minor role songs play normally in most films.

Apparently, some conservatives (including heavyweights such as Ben Shapiro) don’t like the movie because they think King Magnifico was intended to be a metaphor for God. See [2]. It’s not clear whether or not this has substantially hurt the film’s box-office performance, but it does remind me of the controversy surrounding Philip Pullman’s works. It should probably be mentioned in the reception section. 2600:1014:B07D:3336:7C8D:2102:9528:491A ( talk) 04:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I think the "Release" section needs some work to flow more smoothly.
1. Change the first sentence in
Wish (film)#Release from this:
Wish had its world premiere at the
El Capitan Theatre in
Hollywood, Los Angeles, on November 8, 2023, just hours after the end of the
2023 SAG-AFTRA strike was announced for 12:01 AM the next day, with Chris Buck, Fawn Veerasunthorn, Jennifer Lee and Disney CEO
Bob Iger in attendance and Asha,
Mickey Mouse and
Minnie Mouse walking the blue carpet in the cast's place, while featuring a live
drone show above the theater.

to this (which doesn't imply that Buck, Mouse, et al appeared at the announcement of the end of the strike):

2023 SAG-AFTRA strike was announced for 12:01 AM the next day.

2. Remove the fourth sentence in the first paragraph of
Wish (film)#Release, which reads:
On February 16, 2023, following the commercial failures of the company's
Strange World and
Pixar's
Lightyear (both 2022), Disney reportedly considered extending the theatrical windows for both Wish and Pixar's
Elemental in hopes of bringing families back to theaters.
[1]
[2]
References
Reason: It does not really seem to be relevant in this article, now that the picture has been released in several countries. Besides, that "reportedly" looks like crystalballing.
3. Move sentences 5 and 6 in the first paragraph of
Wish (film)#Release to the start of the paragraph, or put them in a separate para at the start of the section. The sentences read:
On June 15, 2023, at the
Annecy International Animation Film Festival, twenty minutes of footage from Wish were screened.
[1] Early access screenings of the film took place on November 18, 2023, coinciding with the 95th birthday of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, for which a special brand spot commemorating it was attached to these screenings.
[2]
[3]
References
Reason: It's illogical to have this info after the info about the actual release dates. The phrasing "for which a special brand spot commemorating it was attached to these screenings" is a bit awkward, but since I don't know what "brand spot" means, I can't suggest a better phrasing.
4. Remove the final sentence (a single-sentence paragraph) in
Wish (film)#Release. It reads:
In July 2023, it was reported that Disney was considering postponing some of their 2023 releases, including Wish, due to the
2023 Hollywood labor disputes.

Reason: This is speculation that is no longer relevant. If it's kept, it needs to be presented earlier, for the same reason as in point 3 above. 130.238.93.223 ( talk) 10:48, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry this has escalated to an edit war. I added reliable sources saying this film is a box office bomb. Somebody please find a work-around and come up with a decent revision. This film is box office bomb and it should be added to the page. UnboundBeartic ( talk) 23:50, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
This was already implied above, but it should be noted that it is not just the box-office performance alone that Disney uses to determine if a film is profitable for them. There are others factors, such as streaming and merchandise sales. I agree that the film should not be labeled a "bomb" without reliable sources to back it up.
