We DO talk about Encanto!

Okay, first off, I don't think I will ever get sick of watching this movie. Everything about it appeals to me, the songs, the artstyle, the everything! I love the songs and how they help to move the story along, it makes the film more interesting instead of just the characters talking. For example in the opening number, Mirabel could have just spoken about her family's (amazing) powers, but the creativity of adding a musical number made it 100x better! The plot is also brilliant, and it shows an amazing moral and how you can still be cool even if you're an outcast or if you're different. The gifts were also extremely creative, and weren't just "copy-pasted" from some random superhero powers like flight and Lazer vision. The hidden details in the animation too were also amazing, and added an even larger sense of creativity. For example, the barbells on Luisa's dress or all the little emblems representing the entire family on Mirabel's dress. Overall, Encanto was great, and I feel like anyone no matter their age would love it. It also unexpectedly has taken over Mulan as my favourite Disney movie!
