Average Internet Surfer

Let's keep this short, if you're looking a fun, family movie with lots of action, jokes, charming characters and Spiderverse-like animation. Then this is a very, very good recommendation.

Wish Dragon is a good movie, a really good movie. Clever writing, fun comedy, outstanding music, right pacing and of course the character development. I wanna refrain from using the word "perfect" because it seems bias, and also meaning that it won't compare to other movies. What the movie lacks in pretty much the visuals in my opinion (except for Long) it's not appealing and also a little misleading as well. But I guess the "misleading" part of it is a good thing since the movie is very surprising. Now the one I enjoyed the most about the movie, is the lesson it gives us. Sure at the very shallow end you can say "money can't buy happiness." is the lesson, it's not wrong but not the one I'd consider the best lesson. There are alot of people who can interpret this the other way so here's my interpretation of it. "Learning from one another." is I think the best lesson that the movie can give the viewer. This is particularly tied to Long's character arc and to the main idea. Long was very arrogant at first but then later on realizes that life can be more than just money and power. Sometimes it can be the feeling of home and acceptance with friends and family, even if you don't have much. Long, in his lifetime as a lord and a wish dragon, didn't have any friends until he met Din. He had everything except whag Din had. I'm saying Long is the MVP of the movie because he's the one that had a drastic change in personality, becoming more sympathetic and caring for someone that he thinks matters, going as far as demanding to be turned back into a wish dragon and sacrificing himself for Din. Now that's what I call a good character arc! 9/10 Would watch again and I highly, highly recommend watching it!
