Enchanting, but not all the way.What to say? I like that Disney is really exploring other cultures in a "non-exploitative", non -"other-ing" way, and the animation certainly is at that super high level that we really have come to expect from them at this point. However, even for a kid's movie, I thought the storyline was a bit basic, bit Coco meets Frozen (which is not to blend in cultures in any way, I'm Latina, for f's sake) and that's that; though there were some interesting things portrayed at ever so sensibly in the beginning there, the "adult layers" we usually get in the level of Disney movie we've (or I, I don't know, maybe I'm just a Veruka Salt type) come to expect was just not there.

es muy buena
The setting and idea are solid, but the execution just falls short. There are too many characters, so none of them, not even the main one, get deeply explored. Each of the siblings has their own issues, but they're all too easily resolved with just a single line from the grandmother at the end, which feels kinda anticlimactic. The beginning grabs your attention, but the ending doesn't deliver. The songs are a mixed bag—some are good, some are just okay. I’ve found that Disney movies have focused more on family relationships than love stories in recent years, and I'm all for that.
Disney made it again. Encanto sprinkles magic with heartwarming family charm, catchy tunes, and vibrant animation, making it a feel-good fiesta for all ages.
This is probably Disney's most sincere and complimentary work on women so far, it celebrates the greatness of the matriarchal society! The world ultimately works on the strength of mothers, and the greatest strength everyone receives comes from the greatness of a mother's love. It is the mother's strength that gives each child a miraculous gift; it is love that builds towns and nations. The musical sequences flow very well together. The story of hope gained after moving on from the pain of a family breakup is used to depict the strength of a happy family.
The story isn't that original. The highlight is the humor interspersed throughout without cultural stereotypes, and the use of highly saturated colors in the South American setting. Personally, I empathize with this somewhat mystical tale of miracles and curses, as it triggered a certain trauma of mine I'd encountered this year. And the last line, "The miracle is you", and "your future [is] undecided," seems to be addressing me. The movie's message of "female awakening" is fine, and there are no obnoxious characters. I like it.

Novo achado da Disney.Um dos melhores filmes da Disney dos últimos anos- sensacional ver a Disney continuar investindo em colocar histórias latino-americanas no cenário mundial.
