Disney’s finally released the trailer for the much anticipated new animated movie “Wish.” It was shared on all social channels worldwide. What I found most interesting were the comments on Tik Tok vs Instagram. I have mentioned in past posts the differences I have noticed in the comments based on the average user age of each platform. This post really highlighted it for me. The TikTok post was loved or “hearted” by over 1.4 million users. It was shared almost 77 thousand times and flagged over 81 thousand times. My favorite was the hashtag #GOAT – Greatest of all times. Seems a little soon to say that but I guess Disney wants to put that thought in people’s minds! That said, the younger platform seemed more excited about the new release. On the other hand, IG users weren’t as enthusiastic. The thing I found interesting when I viewed the same post on IG was the amount of negativity in the posts. With over 2,300 comments, many pointed out flaws. For instance, they lamented yet another heroine, or complained about the lack of heroes in modern Disney movies. The quality of the animation took many by surprise. They felt it lacked the quality of recent Disney releases. Finally, lots of people felt it was a recycled story, with a recycled heroine, recycled designs and more. I guess only the box office and streaming numbers will tell the truth.
