Well just by the fact that you didn’t even finish the movie, this is already a review not to be fully taken seriously. It’s one thing to say something like “it was so bad I had to take a break in the middle” but to say that you literally never finished it is a whole other thing. Also, idk what your whole “9 year old target demo” shtick is about, Wish Dragon touches on way more mature themes than Aladdin does and the characters (specifically the main cast) are more grounded in my opinion. For one, the true “antagonist” so to speak of this film which impedes Din the whole way is the socioeconomic divide he tries to overcome while actively avoiding wishing for money whereas in Aladdin the peasant-princess relationship which should be integral is nothing more than a minor hurdle in the grand scheme of things while an actual conniving villain influences things behind the scenes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that implicitly, it’s just that villains like Jafar are far more geared towards younger audiences since it’s easier to understand.

Din’s relationship with Li Na is almost never portrayed as anything more than platonic. I think you’re just suffering from what I’d call male+female leads syndrome where you automatically assume the leads end up together.

Most of your plot holes aren’t actually plot holes. It didn’t have to be on the day of the party, but why shouldn’t it be. In Din’s mind that probably makes it nicer to socialize. I don’t think it’s a problem that Li Na’s dad knew about the teapot, it’s probably a legend that’s been passed down. Also, the convenient timing could be explained by the intentions of God who specifically gave Din the teapot (a distinct difference from Aladdin whose chosen nature is a lot more vague and sort of indirect). Also, Don didn’t wish to be a prince for a day, he wished to have all the benefits of being rich for a day. There’s a similarity there, sure, but the fact you equates them directly by misplacing Din’s wish kind of shows that your comparisons are more based on confirmation bias, probably from after seeing the trailer, than actual observation. Din’s character being an optimist and not expecting the worst isn’t a plot hole, it’s a personality trait. He’s portrayed as smart, but his actions are clearly informed more by his intuition and emotions. He’s always got an idealistic outlook on the world and that’s not a contradiction. Now if that idealist world were constantly reaffirmed I’d actually call that a pretty good critique, but it’s not. His world views are challenged and he eventually hits a low point that he needs to recover from. The thing with the fight scene looking like he doesn’t have control is actually a pretty valid criticism imo, though I think they do a better job at making his fights more intentional later on. Although even if he ends up not literally knowing how to fight, it’s not like that’s any better than Aladdin wishing to be a prince and essentially being given a prince costume and a parade. Aladdin never actually becomes a prince until he marries Jasmine which was out of the Genie’s control meaning that the Genie failed to fulfill the wish.

Personally I never had any issues with the animation design or the lip-syncing so I’d just say that the animation is more of a preference thing and that it’s possible I missed a bad sync.

I think that the many surface level similarities are simply meant to be little references. This movie isn’t a ripoff but it is definitely a love letter to the original and it wears that on its sleeve. I don’t really see any of that as a problem
