In Sony Pictures Animation's Wish Dragon, Din, a working-class college student with big dreams but small means, and Long, a cynical but all-powerful dragon capable of granting wishes, set off on a hilarious adventure through modern day Shanghai in pursuit of Din's long-lost childhood friend, Lina. Their journey forces them to answer some of life's biggest questions -- because when you can wish for anything, you have to decide what really matters.

Critics Consensus

Although its juvenile humor may test some viewers' patience, Wish Dragon is a colorful and quirky romp that will warm audience's hearts.

"Wish Dragon" is a transporting experience, but it's far from a whole new world.

There is a lovely sense of authenticity to the world and characters that make Wish Dragon up and especially for those with children, this is an easy recommendation!

6/10

So, is Wish Dragon a rip-off of Aladdin? The answer is yes, it undeniably is. But does that mean its a bad movie? Not really.

An endearing modern retelling of Aladdin, Wish Dragon ticks all of the boxes for a memorable family film - adventure, comedy, and sincerity.
