Chris Pine gets his Disney villain song with Wish’s “This Is The Thanks I Get?”

Somehow it makes perfect sense for Chris Pine to play a charming Disney villain, seeing as how his look and general vibe is a charming Disney prince come to life. His character in the House of Mouse’s new animated movie Wish (premiering November 22) plays with Pine’s likable image, not unlike his character in Into The Woods: gorgeous but selfish, hiding a serious narcissistic streak under a good-guy exterior. Those are all promising ingredients for a classic villain song. So how did they do?

You can judge for yourself now that the studio has released “This Is The Thanks I Get?” which is all about how Pine’s character, King Magnifico, is really, well, magnificent, and everyone should pay him the proper respect. The song was penned by pop star Julia Michaels and Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Benjamin Rice. “We’d provide a rough version of the script [to Julia and Ben] and they’d go away for a while and come back with a song. Their songs inspired us,” director Fawn Veerasunthorn said in a Disney press release. “For ‘This Is The Thanks I Get?!’ we knew we wanted Magnifico to be charming and, of course, evil. He’s also funny! In the song, he cracks jokes—he’s narcissistic. But it’s all tongue-in-cheek and he’s still somehow completely likable, which is great for a villain.”
