To me, the other underlying theme is that we are all special and have our own unique gifts, even if some of ours are less obvious than others. And finally it’s about family. You can have the best house in the world, your children can have the most incredible talents, but if it’s not underpinned by unconditional love, empathy and kindness then your family will crumble. The songs are incredible and very ‘Lin-Manuel Miranda’ so I’ve had the soundtrack on repeat. The protagonist is so loveable and you really feel for her. The thing the film is missing is that real ‘wow’ moment (think the TeFiti reveal in Moana or ‘show yourself’ in frozen 2) and I think they missed a trick when it comes to Mirabel and Abuela’s reconciliation - she could have said ‘Mirabel, casita didn’t give you a gift, because you were already born with yours’ BOOM! ❤️‍… Expand

I really loved the smaller scale story here. Disney animation movies are usually on a much larger scale and it was really refreshing to see the they focus on one central location instead of multiple. Most of the characters are pretty great as well. Mirabel, Luisa, Isabela, and Bruno were all well thought out and perfectly written. The other characters were fun but they were nowhere near as good as those 4 and I kinda wish some of them were on the same level. The animation and visuals are phenomenal. It’s the best looking animated film of the year. The movements look incredibly fluid and the environments look gorgeous. The music as well is great. A majority of the songs are really fun and catchy. The other songs I found to be somewhat forgettable though. The performances were all pretty good. I didn’t think there were any major standouts nor did I think anyone did a poor job. Everyone was good. The story itself and it’s message that you don’t need to have a special gift to be yourself works wonders for this film. I would definitely recommend checking this out when you can. It’s one of Disney’s best in my opinion.… Expand

The negatives: the movie has no plot, things just happen and the main character does nothing to affect the outcome. All of the character development is done through the songs and it happens for no reason. The oldest sister has a personality change that's so jarring and out of nowhere that I lost interest in the story.… Expand

I'd find most Disney Musicals annoying and childish, but this one is hinestly the first good Disneycal (completely made-up mix of Disney and Musical) I've seen in a long time. The overuse of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and the fanbase overall are the only things bothering me here. I only found it decent. The story and Animation was solid. I'm a Lin-Manuel Miranda person, too. But it's forgettable. I predicted the ending a mile away, being Mirabel finding out the her gift was HERSELF.… Expand

With most Disney animated features, the intentions are usually pure, harmless and clear.

With "Encanto,"With most Disney animated features, the intentions are usually pure, harmless and clear. Love conquers all, forgiveness is therapy, fear is pain; all that stuff can either feel pretty innocuous or downright well-meaning. With "Encanto," however, even though it all still feels pretty benign, I think the mechanics of its resolution (without getting too much into detail) ultimately undercuts the pain inflicted upon the protagonist. Felt like a little too easy of a wrap-up for some of the "wrong-doers" within. Ethical missteps aside, though, I still enjoyed the overall experience. It's well-structured piece, featuring a great protagonist and some unsurprisingly stellar animation. The songs mostly do the job — none more so than "We Don't Talk About Bruno," if I'm being real — and the voice cast is to be commended for sure. The definition of "good, not great" for me, but I still can't say I regret the watch.… Expand

Lots of music, so many songs. It is clear that not all the cast are natural singers, but the songs are catchy and even with a flat delivery, still very entertaining. In fact they feel a bit more natural because of this, giving the tone a genuine quality to the performance.

There are so many colourful characters, and most are given their moment to shine. This movie is one of the few times where I would say, it could have used a few extra scenes as there is just so much more they could have done. I really would have loved to spend more time with each if the family members.

I can easily see this continuing into a show someday, and if it follows the tone and spirit of the movie, it'll be a classic.

Overall:
Encanto is a fun family film that is perfect for the holidays. It isn't the most Epic Disney movie, but I do think it embraces the Disney wholesome recipe to the letter.… Expand

Unimpressive songs is something that constantly plagues this film and it's a shame because it lent itself to more outstanding musical numbers.

However, the film has other strengths, especially its humor and warmth, and the great animation.

It kinda like, puts you in a good headspace. The colors and animation are gorgeous, and I like that it's able to tell a complete story in a small and compact setting; very unique. Also, the protagonist is very likable and most of the characters in general have interesting personalities and are fun to watch on screen. There is diversity in the film, which is obviously a good thing in and of itself, but with many movies nowadays they make everything ABOUT race and pushing agendas. This is not that. Although I definitely had my issues. There are plot points that feel like they're leading up to something, and then just kind of... don't, which is weird. Also, some individual elements in there were just cringe. Like I get that it wants to appeal to the culture, but still. There was one musical number in particular which was like a random, out-of-place, Disney channel-inspired pop song and I did not like it; other than that though I will say that the music in this movie is pretty dang good. There were some bangers, actually. It's not incredible, but if you don't go in with the mindset that you're gonna hate it, and just sit down and take it in, it's an enjoyable movie. For anyone to watch honestly. It looks great, has good characters, heart, humor. I recommend.… Expand

Furthermore the songs are quite good, although not quite memorable dare I say, and its premise at its core is interesting. Yet the movie still fails to captivate compeletely.

I wanted to love this movie, I am from Colombia and the idea of an original Disney movie inspired on my country is quite exhilarating, the moment I heard the theme of the movie from Carlos Vives filled me pride and happiness and seeing some of the references like the food they ate made me giggle. Furthermore the animals, the enviroment, the salsa-like music all sell the Colombian countryside quite well. In terms of represantion I couldn't be happier.

Still, quite unfortunately, the story doesnt quite flourish in the same way. While it has a great premise, I thought that the constant singing diminished the experience. Some of the more key moments, like finding out the emotional weight that a certain character feels in regards to her position in the family is told through singing and rampant visuals and most of the more sentimental parts are managed this way. In this regard I thought the movie never had a moment to truly breath and explore its characters.

Ultimately this led to a very unsatisfying conclusion where it seemed like the movie wanted you to be emotionally compromised, but the investment wasnt there. I honestly felt like the solution to everything came out of nowhere. A better balance between music and storytelling could have served this one way better.

Nontheless, the message to it all is still there, and its still a valid lesson for anyone to understand, specially the kids. Plus, the visuals, the music and some of its funnier moments still make for an entertaining watch.… Expand

Encanto is an amazing film full of teachings that brings big surprises and great emotions to the public. You´ll be thrilled with the many beauties and magic in this film.

The film tells the story of Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz), a girl who is part of the Madrigal family, a family where everyone has super-magic powers. But, is Mirabel of the same alignment as they are? An unexpected event that puts the family in danger, can change everything.

The storyline is well written. I really love the characters. They are funny and nice and the kind of people that everyone likes. My favorite parts are when Antonio Madrigal talks to the animals. I love animals and have always wanted to understand them. Watching this film gave me a greater desire to communicate with animals. This is magical! I also like the part when Mirabel is going to save the family and she says something funny. The special effects are terrific. Everything is super colorful. The background music is extraordinary; the music I like most is the adventure song when Mirabel takes off on her adventure. I love the adventure genre and this music accentuates it. As for costumes, I particularly love the costumes that show their tradition, yet at the same time, are contemporary outfits. They are so beautiful!

The message of the film is that we need to believe in ourselves, Never give up, because in the end you'll find a light.

I give Encanto 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18, plus adults. Encanto releases in theaters and on Disney+ November 25, 2021.… Expand

I've decided to end my movie watching experience of 2021 with Encanto. I tend to be a sucker for Disney animated movies and this one was no exception. The premise is "The Madrigals are an extraordinary family who lives hidden in the mountainsI've decided to end my movie watching experience of 2021 with Encanto. I tend to be a sucker for Disney animated movies and this one was no exception. The premise is "The Madrigals are an extraordinary family who lives hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a charming place called the Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift -- every child except Mirabel. However, she soon may be the Madrigals last hope when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is now in danger". So did the movie enchant me or did the magic fade out?

Firstly, I love the setting and world of Encanto. This is the first time Disney has explored Columbian culture and I think they did a great job in representing it. The movie also doesn't shy away from some dark stuff which genuinely surprised me. The world is also wonderful, despite just being in one house most of the time. Although, to be fair it is a magical house which allows it to be more visually interesting. Nevertheless, there was never a moment where it felt dull even though it was just set in one place. In terms of the 3D animation, it is still absolutely gorgeous to look at. Every shot feels so spectacular and vibrant which helps make the world feel alive. There is a character that can create flowers and her abilities allow for some dazzling scenery and shots.

Encanto is a Disney musical with songs done by legendary Lin-Manuel Miranda. I can safely say that the songs are good and catchy. The songs here do feel different from that of Frozen (2013) which felt more musical theatre. Here the songs feel more pop sounding but it still works very well. There is a song near the end, "Two Oruguitas", that is more emotional sounding which I like. I also give praise for them including songs that are sung in Spanish which strikes home the setting of Encanto. Encanto does a lot different with the story as well. For starters, this movie doesn't have the chosen one, warrior heroine as they have done with previous animated movies. Our main character Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) doesn't have a gift, has a little awkward personality and is jealous of her gifted family members. She never performs an amazing heroic feat like previous heroes and heroines in Disney movies. She just loves her family and wants to do her best to help them. Likewise, the story subverts expectations you would have about other characters which I think will be an important lesson for kids. On that note, there are a lot of lessons taught in this film and I think they are very relevant messages. In terms of plot, it is more of a mystery and family drama type of story rather than a beat the bad person story. This made Encanto very refreshing to watch.

However, the movie does go through a lot of the generic structure you would see from these Disney animated movies. It gets to the point that you can predict a lot of the mystery before it is even revealed. To be fair it is a family movie so it shouldn't matter but it is something to note. The ending is also something I'm slightly mixed on. I think it dampens the overall message a little bit. Additionally, some supporting characters, unfortunately, do not get enough of a focus which leads to them either getting rushed resolution at the end or none at all. Lastly, while I do like the music in the movie, I don't find them as easy to sing along to. The movie doesn't have a song like "Let it Go" from Frozen or "How Far I'll Go" from Moana. There are good songs but I don't see kids singing the songs all day long. Overall, Encanto feels like an actual attempt at something new for Disney musicals. I find the movie succeeds in it as well. It was a completely enjoyable and pleasant experience that enchanted me. It's charming and full of heart while delivering a worthy message to all. A fantastic, magical tale that is definitely worth watching.… Expand

The music was exceptional, I especially loved the lyricism in the songs; my favorite songs were Surface Pressure, What Else Can I Do?, and We Don't Talk About Bruno. The writing was phenomenal; I loved how emotionally charged the movie was and the themes of the movie about family, trauma (specifically transgenerational trauma), embracing who you are, and not forgetting what's truly important in life were so well done and explored and also I love how they used symbolism, using Abuela's unexplored trauma to symbolize the unseen darkness threatening the family which in turn shows us how we can't keep trauma bottled up forever casue if we don't work threw our trauma it can't have a negative impact on more then just ourselves but on the ones we care for and love. The performances were superb especially from Stephanie Beatriz, María Cecilia Botero, Jessica Darrow, John Leguizamo, Diane Guerrero, Adassa, Carolina Gaitán, Rhenzy Feliz, and Mauro Castillo. This was an A+ movie, one of the best movies I've ever seen.… Expand

It’s only appropriate that Encanto — fueled by eight original songs by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda — turns into that most special thing of all: A triumph in every category: art, songs and heart.

Steller visuals but the story is bland and the music is tired Disney schlock. If the visuals weren't so good I'd advise skipping the movie, but this is the best CGI I've yet seen.

+ Effects and animation

- Wokeness

Encanto is beautiful, that's all I really have to say. It is just a beautiful, emotional, and great animated film that is worth watching. Disney animated films usually don't disappoint, and it definitely didn't this time.

Brutal dubbing, incredible soundtrack, beautiful animation and a lot of combination of feelings ... what Disney did representing Colombia in Encanto was something that nobody can miss.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful animation but really lacked the heart of other Disney films. This is no Coco or Moana. The big twist is pretty weak and grandma being the big bad but also only having a motivation of protecting her family doesn't really work. Can recommend, but don't expect to fall in love with it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For me, Encanto was a mixed bag. It was aesthetically beautiful, especially in regards to color. I liked the songs (although I had to play several of the songs with subtitles so I could understand the lyrics). However, overall, I cannot say I enjoyed Encanto. I did not like the Abuela character. She treats Mirabel like a second rate family member because Mirabel does not have a special gift. Mirabel is not featured in the family picture, and she is encouraged to stay out of the way of the preparations for the party. It's not as if anyone in the family "earned" their gifts. The gifts were just bestowed. Bruno is also ostracized because he saw a bad vision for the family. There are some other instances in which the characters with gifts hold themselves higher than the characters without. I know it's supposed to be a playful animated film, so it may not be appropriate to over-analyze it. However, I could not help my resentment of some of the characters, and that kept me from making an emotional connection to the film.… Expand
