There were characters worth empathizing with in that movie? I thought it was just an hour and a half of references to other disney movies.
The bad guy builds essentially a utopia where he grants people's wishes is they are beneficial to society at large. Literally magic grants their wish. Then the protagonist decides that this isn't fair and everyone deserves their wish granted and upends society to grant everyone's wish and make it more utopia I guess? Idk it's not in my kids rotation only seen it once.
The bad guy steals peoples wishes to maintain his power. They basically live in a "utopia" with at most their basic needs met... but don't really want anything else because all their dreams have been stolen away by the antagonist.
It starts making it seem as though he might be a relatable villain, or even a secondary protagonist... but then proceeds to just make him a self-serving asshole.
