Wish Dragon (2021)
I feel like this movie isn't talked about enough!
I started the movie simply because I love animation and am always looking forward to new animated movies coming out. At first, yes, it very much felt like Disney's Aladdin, which is fine as a fun different take, but even I found myself cringing a little as Long's lines were a little too close to the Genie's. Then, the movie truly takes off and becomes it's own masterpiece. The same theming and heart of Aladdin is there, with a different setting and story telling approach, which I loved a lot! The twist in the middle got a few of my siblings, and although some of the jokes fell flat, others made us burst from laughter. The characters are likable and all have a depth to them I appreciate. The pacing is good, and gave lots of different scenes and moments that feel distinct and memorable. The climax is actually pretty intense, but it doesn't feel too out of place from the rest of the movie. I've now watched this movie 4 times and suggest it to people, It's become one of my favorites! Give it a shot, because I feel like this movie is severely underrated. And don't turn it off before the first 15 minutes because "it's a rip off of Aladdin", because it really comes into it's own and becomes one of the best animated watches in the past few years after that point :)

As a fan of the original webtoon... I love it!
Lookism manages to tackle difficult social situations with a lovable array of characters. It follows the concept of "Lookism" (The judgment of others based on looks alone), and everything that surrounds the term. I loved the webtoon, and held high hopes for the animation. I'm happy to report that I absolutely adore Lookism in this format! It's like it was made to be animated! The OST is fantastic, and it helped bring a lot of the scenes I loved to life. I've been telling everyone I know to watch it, since it needs to get a season 2! Please everyone give a lot of love to this show, I promise it deserves it!
