Mirabel is the one to first suggest the family free itself from the pressure to be perfect all the time, challenging the way it’s always been.Īs much as I hate to love Miranda, I can’t deny how good the music is. But in the case of Tío Bruno (John Leguizamo), his gift hurt the family and wasn’t useful to the town, causing him to be ostracized. According to Abuela, they each have a responsibility to use their gifts to help the town. There is a crushing weight on their shoulders to make Abuela proud and a constant pressure to be good enough. Mirabel is an outcast for not having powers, while her relatives have to use their powers for the good of the family. Each character struggles with the pressure to meet expectations. Throughout the movie, viewers are immersed in the personal pressures that are a part of the Madrigal family. But the jokes were genuinely funny, while the movie’s plot included real problems and darker undertones, offering an unanticipated contrast. Especially after “Raya and the Last Dragon,” I was expecting a similar tone that catered to a younger audience. Everything was executed to perfection.ĭespite the spontaneous jumps into songs, “Encanto” wasn’t as childish as I thought. Plus, there was so much attention to detail in the animation and storyline. What piqued my interest was learning how the magical world functions as well as about the complicated familial relationships. It has complex, diverse characters involving an intimate mystery within a magical world. “Encanto” stands out from other Disney movies. However, the movie’s themes and specific representation of magical realism - a literary genre popularized by Colombian writer Gabriel García Marquez - pushes “Encanto” in a new direction. Mirabel’s devotion to her family and determination to prove that she is just as special as them is a predictable way to drive the plot and reach that Disney happy ending. Mirabel, the only family member without a gift, is left with the task of saving her family’s fading magic. The story follows her magical family, the Madrigals, who all received various enchanted gifts or abilities after Abuela Alma (María Cecilia Botero) fled her home and lost her husband due to political violence. “Encanto” has everything I could’ve wanted - top-notch animation, vibrant colors, realistic representation, heart-tugging and upbeat music, expert attention to detail and love for Colombian culture.ĭisney princess Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz) - yes, I’m referring to her as a Disney princess since Latinas have been long overdue for a real one - is a tough and authentic heroine.
