Ever seen a movie and it feels like you know how it will all end because you've seen a movie that's almost like it? The titles are different, storylines are different, you can only see a few similarities but you're almost sure you know how the movie will go.

This movie I'm about to writing on made me feel that exact way. I felt reluctant to see this movie because it was animated and I don't like seeing just any kind of animated movie unless recommended. Well, my sister recommended and I decided to see it and it was just what I wanted at the time I saw... Comedy loaded animated movie.

Thanks to Director/writer Chris Appelhans, we get to see an emotional Chinese spin of Aladdin (Yeah, a rip-off of Aladdin) but before you say, you can't see a movie that has almost same storyline, read this review because you'd have a reason to see the movie. It might also interest you to know the movie was produced by the popular and incredible Chinese actor "Jackie Chan". Wish Dragon is 1hr 38mins 2021 Chinese animated movie for kids and family with packed in comedy to get you laughing so hard.

Just a fun question, why are Chinese movies easy to detect even when they use the English language in them? 😅 Or am I the only one noticing that? I was able to tell almost immediately that it was a Chinese based animation. Well, back to the movie...

About the movie "Wish Dragon"

IMG_20220813_204218.jpg

The movie tells about a young college boy who is finding ways to reconnect with his childhood best friend. Their memories as children and the promises they made to each other, the young boy couldn't wait to be reunited with her again even though it was almost impossible as he wasn't from a wealthy family like the girl. Through his delivery works, he got to meet a god in the most haggard form who gives him a teapot instead of payment for his deliveries. With ignorance of what he has, he takes off to go see his childhood friend (A picture of her on a large bill board) and out of a sad heart, he wished to be reunited with his friend again.

And that brought the teacup emitting out a colorful and powerful wish Dragon who was bent on making the boy wish away so he could go back to the spirit world as it was his last duty to grant one more "Three wishes" before he could leave the world. With a dragon in haste to be free from his wish granting duties and a boy in a quest to find and be reunited with his childhood friend, the two sets out for an adventure that taught a prideful and arrogant once king to be humble, loving and kind to a fellow.

Did the young boy used all his wishes with right purposes? Was the dragon able to grant all his wishes? What exactly happened to the dragon after completing his duties? You'll have to see the movie to find out.

Movie characters and my thoughts on the movie

Long, the wish Dragon who I feel is too beautiful to be called a dragon haha, voice by John Cho. He was once a king who had so much wealth but never loved his subjects, and he ruled as one of the worst kings in history but never felt he was. His time of death, he wasn't allowed to enter the spirit world until he completed a duty of serving humans by being a wish Dragon. His last master happened to be a young fellow who later made him realized what he had been ignorant of because of the powers that wealth gives.

Like we must have seen or guessed already, this movie is almost like the Aladdin story we know. And I must say this dragon part is so much like the Genie in Aladdin whose part is so full of life and comedy, and also that part of acting like they've really lived a thousand years is interesting to see.

Lina (voice by Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and Din (voice by Jimmy Ding), two friends from childhood who got separated after Lina's father moved from the neighborhood in search of greener pastures which Lina never wanted as much as she needed his fatherly love. We could remember that the princess in "Aladdin" was also treated less by her father because of a bad adviser he had (Some similarities here too right?)

One major difference I couldn't help but notice is that Din, the rip-off Aladdin character has family and friends unlike Aladdin who was even mistaken to be a thief. The two friends got in contact with each other thanks to Din's second wish but their lives took another turn when the magic tea pot is being wanted by Lina's father.

The adventure of the dragon and his little master, Din was both funny and emotional as the dragon doesn't seem to know a lot of things about the world's innovation, his mediocre thinking of humans in need of wealth and power only and his quest to get Din wish away quickly so he could go back to the spirit world.

Some scenes I enjoyed most was when the dragon had to act as a human personnel assistant to Din and as a guide during Din's date with Lina, it was so hilarious that I kept rewinding back to the scene. Of course, it isn't a Chinese movie without displaying some kung-fu, their traditions and colorful cultures, the bad guys and a large family.

I'm recommending this movie to families with kids, and to those who doesn't mind seeing an almost replica of another movie, I'm
the movie a rating 7/10... It isn't so unique but it was worth seeing and I enjoyed it.

¿Alguna vez has visto una película y sientes que sabes cómo terminará todo porque has visto una película que es casi igual? Los títulos son diferentes, las historias son diferentes, solo puedes ver algunas similitudes pero estás casi Seguro que sabes cómo irá la película.

Esta película que estoy a punto de escribir me hizo sentir exactamente de esa manera. Me sentí reacio a ver esta película porque era animada y no me gusta ver cualquier tipo de película animada a menos que me la recomienden. Bueno, me la recomendó mi hermana y decidí verla y era justo lo que quería en el momento en que la vi... Película animada cargada de comedia.

Gracias al Director/escritor Chris Appelhans, podemos ver una versión china emocional de Aladdin (Sí, una copia de Aladdin) pero antes de que digas, no puedes ver una película que tenga casi lo mismo. historia, lea esta reseña porque tendría una razón para ver la película. También te puede interesar saber que la película fue producida por el popular e increíble actor chino "Jackie Chan". Wish Dragon es una película animada china de 1 hora y 38 minutos de 2021 para niños y familias con mucha comedia para hacerte reír a carcajadas.

Solo una pregunta divertida, ¿por qué las películas chinas son fáciles de detectar incluso cuando usan el idioma inglés en ellas? 😅 ¿O soy el único que se da cuenta de eso? Pude decir casi de inmediato que era una animación basada en chino . Bueno, volviendo a la película...

Acerca de la película "Wish Dragon"

IMG_20220813_204218.jpg

La película trata sobre un joven universitario que está encontrando formas de reconectarse con su mejor amigo de la infancia. Sus recuerdos de niños y las promesas que se hicieron el uno al otro, el joven no podía esperar para reunirse con ella nuevamente, aunque era casi imposible ya que no era de una familia rica como la niña. A través de sus trabajos de entrega, conoció a un dios en la forma más demacrada que le da una tetera en lugar de pagar sus entregas. Desconociendo lo que tiene, se va a ir a ver a su amiga de la infancia (Una foto de ella en un gran cartel) y con el corazón triste, deseaba volver a reunirse con su amiga.

Y eso hizo que la taza de té emitiera un deseo colorido y poderoso. Dragón que estaba empeñado en hacer que el niño deseara que se fuera para poder volver al mundo de los espíritus, ya que era su último deber conceder uno más "Tres deseos" antes. podría dejar el mundo. Con un dragón apurado por liberarse de sus deberes de concesión de deseos y un niño en una búsqueda para encontrar y reunirse con su amigo de la infancia, los dos se embarcan en una aventura que le enseñó a un rey orgulloso y arrogante a ser humilde, amoroso y amable con un compañero.

¿Usó el joven todos sus deseos con los propósitos correctos? ¿Pudo el dragón conceder todos sus deseos? ¿Qué le pasó exactamente al dragón después de completar sus deberes? Tendrás que ver la película para averiguarlo.

Personajes de la película y mis pensamientos sobre la película

IMG_20220813_205123.jpg

Largo, el dragón de los deseos que siento es demasiado hermoso para llamarlo dragón jaja, voz de John Cho. Una vez fue un rey que tenía tanta riqueza pero nunca amó a sus súbditos, y gobernó como uno de los peores reyes de la historia, pero nunca sintió que lo fuera. En el momento de su muerte, no se le permitió ingresar al mundo de los espíritus hasta que completó el deber de servir a los humanos siendo un Dragón de deseos. Su último maestro resultó ser un joven que más tarde le hizo darse cuenta de lo que había ignorado debido a los poderes que otorga la riqueza.

Como ya debemos haber visto o adivinado, esta película es casi como la historia de Aladdin que conocemos. Y debo decir que esta parte del dragón se parece mucho al Genio en Aladdin, cuya parte está tan llena de vida y comedia, y también es interesante ver esa parte de actuar como si realmente hubieran vivido mil años.

IMG_20220813_211844.jpg

Lina (voz de Natasha Liu Bordizzo) y Din (voz de Jimmy Ding), dos amigos de la infancia que se separaron después de que el padre de Lina se mudara del barrio en busca de pastos más verdes que Lina nunca quiso tanto como necesitaba su amor paternal. Podríamos recordar que la princesa en "Aladdin" también fue tratada menos por su padre debido a un mal consejero que tuvo (Algunas similitudes aquí también, ¿no?)

Una gran diferencia que no pude dejar de notar es que Din, el personaje de Aladdin de estafa, tiene familiares y amigos a diferencia de Aladdin, que incluso fue confundido con un ladrón. Los dos amigos se pusieron en contacto gracias al segundo deseo de Din, pero sus vidas dieron otro giro cuando el padre de Lina busca la tetera mágica.

IMG_20220813_205309.jpg

La aventura del dragón y su pequeño maestro, Din, fue a la vez divertida y emotiva, ya que el dragón no parece saber muchas cosas sobre la innovación del mundo, su pensamiento mediocre de los humanos que solo necesitan riqueza y poder y su búsqueda para aleja rápidamente a Din Wish para que pueda volver al mundo de los espíritus.

Algunas de las escenas que más disfruté fueron cuando el dragón tuvo que actuar como asistente personal humano de Din y como guía durante la cita de Din con Lina, fue tan divertido que no dejaba de retroceder a la escena. Por supuesto, no es una película china sin mostrar algo de kung-fu, sus tradiciones y culturas coloridas, los malos y una familia numerosa.

Estoy recomendando esta película a familias con niños, y a aquellos a quienes no les importe ver una casi réplica de otra película, estoy
la película una calificación 7/10... No es tan única pero valió la pena verla y la disfruté.

Finally you decided to see the movie and you did absolutely well on this review. Indeed some part of the movie was similar to that of Alladin but it had some things that made it more fun and different from Alladin.

That wish dragon was the main similarity it has, and oh my!! That dragon was just so funny especially when he was trying to make the boy wish for power in the first place 😂 and the boy was not even thinking one inch to that direction.

It was a nice movie and seeing that Jackie Chan was the director, it's obvious it was going to be really fun to watch.

Haha yeah, finally saw the movie and here I am showing my love for the movie by reviewing it 😍

The dragon is my favourite character both in wish Dragon and in Aladdin 😅 I love funny characters always.

Even I wasn't surprised to know that Jackie Chan was the producer, I wouldn't have even be surprised if he was the actor behind the dragon 😅😅

Yes, it's always normal to like the funny person more. If you notice there was this short guy that works for the bozz, he was really funny too, lol.

Yeah, that was another interesting character 😅
No wonder the movie was tagged a comedy movie 😆

As in ehn, them many when normal for the movie, lol.

🤣🤣🤣

Wait o, this girl! Is it not 7am for service again? 🙄

Yes oo, we started a little late that's why 😪.

hi @merit.ahama . it's nice to see a friendship between a guy and a girl that doesn't end with them kissing . and all the characters were just adoreable.. still decently enjoyable for me.

comin from dreemport

I'm glad you like it... Almost every movie with a girl and guy ends with them kissing 😅

It also has scenes from musicals like aladin' if it's like that hahahah what a blatant copy :D

Haha I don't think there were similar musicals since it's a chinese version
