The Verdict
Wish Dragon is a warm, original animated fantasy set in modern Shanghai with an authentically Chinese cast and a classic friendship-and-coming-of-age story. There's essentially no identity messaging here — the diversity is intrinsic to the setting, and its themes about valuing people over money are standard family-film fare. Clean across the board.
