hewwo my lovely and beautiful people.
Hey Everyone! Welcome Back~ I’m Reese and this is Reese Grey Analyzes, and I am so excited that you guys decided to adventure with me today. On Reese Grey Analyzes, we look at creations and experiences in art, media, music, & even videogames to explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, question what we believe, and learn something new. And today, we're diving into one of my absolute favorite Disney movies that came out lately. Disney's Wish!
Our setting is what we assume is a sovereign state of Rosas under the rule of a monarchy under King Magnificio! Anybody can choose to live in the city of Rosas's rent free, but the catch is that they, have to give up their greatest wish to King Magnifico with no guarantee their wish will ever be granted. So, we see that within this political system the common people are seemingly taken care of monetarily yet exploited within an unfair system that steals hope and purpose from people's lives in order to control them. Lets explore King Magnifico's unravelling from a benevolent King to a ruthless power hungry fascist dictator :)
