Why Wish and similar Disney films don't work
Disney movies have taken a bit of a downward turn recently. How come?

It's the mid-1970s, and nine-year-old Julie Albright plays on the boys' basketball team. She wants to perform basketball dribbling for her talent in the school beauty pageant but is teased by girls at school for the thought of it. Julie has to decide if she'll stay true to herself or conform to the norm. While she's at it, she gives an unconventional, yet forward-thinking answer to the interview question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" See Julie shine in this American Girl movie starring Jolie Ledford.

There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.
