Encanto is a whirl for children. I loved the songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda. They are all earworms (looking at you 'We Don't Talk About Bruno'). While I found the story shallow, the message about acceptance and owning up to your shortcomings was sweet and easily understood by children. The voice acting and animation were fantastic as expected from a Disney Animation project. They have rarely faltered in these respects. Disney smartly oriented itself towards a bilingual and Hispanic setting in Colombia, an undoubtedly growing part of its audience in 2021. I foresee many more movies akin to this in the future.
