* ''WesternAnimation/Wish2023'' -- Budget, $175-200 million. Box office, $63.9 million (domestic), $253.2 million (worldwide). The 62nd film in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon was the most hyped-up (and merchandised!) since ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', as it was intended to cap off the [[MilestoneCelebration 100th anniversary celebration]] for the company; instead, it ended up becoming one of many films released by Disney in 2023 to seriously underperform financially (with ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'' being the only film under Disney's umbrella to not underperform expectations or outright lose money). The mixed-to-negative reviews, which took the film to task for its [[ClicheStorm derivative story]], mediocre songs, and distracting CompanyCrossReferences, and stiff competition from ''WesternAnimation/TrollsBandTogether'', ''Film/TheHungerGamesTheBalladOfSongbirdsAndSnakes'', and (of all movies) ''Film/Napoleon2023'' during its opening week (with ''WesternAnimation/{{Migration}}'' and ''Film/{{Wonka}}'' coming a few weeks later to further divert family audiences) didn't help matters. [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff It did noticeably better overseas than in the states]], though not enough to push the film to profitability, and to its credit, it was still much less of a financial bomb than the previous DAC film, ''WesternAnimation/StrangeWorld''.
