pretty much assumes you’ll be thinking of Disney’s blue genie when his humble Chinese hero rubs a jade teapot and produces a fluorescent flamingo-pink dragon, ready to grant his wildest dreams — or three of them at least. And you know what? He doesn’t care, because “Wish Dragon” delivers a whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, and that’s plenty.
The hero of “Wish Dragon” doesn’t have big ambitions. Shanghai-based Din may be dirt poor and desperate, but he’s unusually well-grounded as such characters go. When offered three wishes, he honestly doesn’t know what to request — whereas Long, his dutiful, all-powerful dragon , is full of suggestions: Why not wish for piles of gold? Or his own personal army? After all, every one of Long’s previous masters wanted wealth and power. But not Din. He just wants his best friend back.
So when poof, the magic dragon shows up eager to serve, Din doesn’t covet money or power per se — although both would help him finagle his way into Li Na’s birthday party, since she’s now wealthy enough to be out of his league. To Long’s surprise, Din wishes forwealth and power , trusting that they’ll be able to pick up where they left off if they can only be reunited.
Wish Dragon was so much fun!
jfwong I mean, charming side, but I ultimately found it just decent. Not bad, but not really great either.
Better than live action version Aladdin
Hello yes, Variety? Anything jfwong is in qualifies as charming, just a lil FYI for you.
