Encanto
Directed by Byron Howard, Jared Bush
The tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might… From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →Disney are also really shitty at removing any context in their movies. An interesting scene at the beginning of the movie Encanto a flashback references an unknown conflict in Colombia resulting in the death of the grandmother’s husband. What conflict Disney? Who were the bad guys Disney? Further research by an interested viewer will reveal that it was a civil war involving a right wing of rebels _backed by the US_, rose up against a leftist government.
neutral · AI labelView post →ENCANTO is the most fucked up Disney movie because for the first 90 minutes it’s a whimsical tale about a magical house with no discernible setting or period or any real-world context, and then the emotional climax reveals that the magic’s origin story is refugees fleeing ethnic cleansing
neutral · AI labelView post →It's become this thing online where people claim Abuela never apologizes to Mirabel or the family in Encanto and I need you all to stop projecting your childhood trauma onto this movie because Abuela does apologize specifically to Mirabel and then later to the family.

neutral · AI labelView post →Golden from KPop Demon Hunters has reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first song from an animated film to reach the top since We Don’t Talk About Bruno from Encanto! That is truly an incredible achievement!
neutral · AI labelView post →At some point watching Encanto became a part of the Christmas tradition for our kids - I dunno, they watched it one year and it stuck - and we are watching it and I keep thinking, man, I bet Stephen Miller hated this movie so much. I bet he has hated so much of American culture, so much. A ghoul.
positive · AI labelView post →Baby #Encanto triplets, but as a color theory. I really enjoyed the movie. From 2022. (Apparently that Venn diagram reminded people of the Letterboxd logo. That’s fair.)
positive · AI labelView post →Ok, are we far enough out from Encanto coming out that I can say it infuriates me that the movie sets up Mirabel not having a gift as a mystery and then never explains it, especially when it’s easy to say that her gift is communicating with the house and that’s why she didn’t need a door!!
negative · AI labelView post →Coco is the best Disney movie and is way better than Encanto
negative · AI labelView post →Shaded Piece for @go-tee.bsky.social Ever been in a theater and looked at those movie posters, do you ever think they could pop out and grab ya? Well, never happened to me on any movie I like... So... Anybody a fan of Encanto?

positive · AI labelView post →I think that's awesome! Mirabel is an amazing protagonist and Encanto is a wonderful movie, in my opinion. I would probably be more confused by dad's reaction than anything else.
positive · AI labelView post →‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ becomes the first movie to spawn two top 10 hits on the Hot 100 since ‘Encanto’ in 2022.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw a lot of discourse about Encanto that was mostly adults going 'why is the emotional abuse in the film get solved by an apology and a hug why doesn't it say you can cut off bad family members' because it's a disney film for little children. You're looking for adult media.
neutral · AI labelView post →Have some concept art from Encanto by Lorelay Bove. Of all of the recent films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, I feel this film came the closest to really capturing the look of Mary Blair. The colors really popped in this film much like they did on films she worked on.

neutral · AI labelView post →Lovely second birthday for the kiddo. We finished it off with her first movie before bed. She watched (almost) all of Encanto! Only briefly distracted during emotional scenes that didn’t interest her but she even stuck with it through the scary bits!
neutral · AI labelView post →I mean, they do later clarify: > This is the first openly Christian character to feature in a Disney film since 2007's Bridge to Terabithia. That being said, Encanto (2021) was explicitly Christian as well so this whole story is typical Newsweek BS

positive · AI labelView post →Encanto is such a lovely, creative, thoughtful movie. I don't mind watching it hundreds of times. I mean this sincerely. Also, this is a post about autism.
positive · AI labelView post →old #encanto art ! I adored this movie so much and had to draw a sweet moment with them!
positive · AI labelView post →"Encanto" was actually somewhat successful, especially among more diverse audiences, and Disney has not stopped being angry about that for a spell, because they intentionally set that movie up to fail. So it's an anomaly. I don't know how to classify it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Miranda composed songs for Moana, including “How Far I’ll Go,” and Encanto, including “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.” He starred as Jack in Mary Poppins Returns. He made his feature directorial debut with the 2021 film tick, tick … BOOM! and in October 2024 released a concept album titled Warriors. /5
neutral · AI labelView post →Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You," is only the third song ever from a Disney film (yes I know it's Pixar, owned by Disney) to hit #1, after "A Whole New World" from Aladdin and "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto. I just think that's neat.
neutral · AI labelView post →The director of Encanto (a Disney movie) Jared Bush praised The Super Mario Bros. Movie (an Illumination movie) when it was in theaters at the time, and it shows that nobody in the animation industry hates each other.
neutral · AI labelView post →Gonna watch my niece and nephew tonight. Every time they stay over with me, they wanna watch a disney film. Guess its Encanto again for the 8th time. They also wanna watch that Kpop Demon hunter thing. I know absolutely nothing about that one haha
neutral · AI labelView post →Broke: "diehard is a Christmas movie" Woke: "Encanto is a Channukah movie" I mean it's about people being saved from oppression by a miracle involving candles.
neutral · AI labelView post →Encanto has replaced Totoro as most watched movie by toddler in our house! I hadn’t seen it before it’s a beautiful story!
positive · AI labelView post →I got to see this as a mystery movie, and we want to take our kids back to go see it. GO WATCH IT if you are an animation fan, a fan of the 90s, literally FOR ANY REASON. It's the best animated film I've seen since Encanto I ADORE this movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Neither movie has even come out yet! For all we know, there's a chance Forgotten Island is actually mid while Hexed is the best Disney movie since Encanto. Besides, Disney would never co-produce a Cocomelon movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Some Madrigals from when I first watched the movie! #disney #encanto #mirabelmadrigal #doloresmadrigal #camilomadrigal
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Coco earlier tonight and now I’m watching Encanto, so I guess the theme for my movie choices tonight is generational trauma with a happy ending.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hexed will be the first Disney Animation film with a short playing before it in all or most countries since 2021’s Encanto. With this, Pixar’s Finding Nemo short, and other recent shorts, I feel that theatrical shorts will be more IP-based going forward.

neutral · AI labelView post →The grandma was a fucking monster and didn't get a proper comeuppance. The ending to Encanto was so unsatisfying it killed the entire movie for me.
negative · AI labelView post →It’s pretty wild that the last time Disney won this award was Encanto, it's also the last time a Disney animated film that received massive praise and made a big impact on pop culture.
neutral · AI labelView post →So Demon Hunters became the first animated film since Encanto to have a song hit the Billboard Hot 100(it's album also made the top 8 for the Hot 200.). Really makes me wonder how it would have done at the box office. Proof that you already made it as a film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Turning Red ONLY went to streaming after Encanto, a Disney in-house film (and, mayhap not coincidentally, also minority-led) released as the Omicron wave of Covid was becoming a problem, did not do as well as expected. Never forget that.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m listening to Encanto again… bc I need to remember what pain feels like… so why not the movie that best represents all my trauma. #encanto #disneyadult
positive · AI labelView post →I have watched Encanto over a dozen times at this point and still the last 15 minutes of that movie never fails to methodically destroy me
positive · AI labelView post →So, the universe was VERY kind yesterday. The Disney store has this Encanto 4 pack marked down, and then 30% off on top of it. I am so excited, been wanting an articulated Luisa for a long time. I'm tempted to try and film a video unboxing them. X'''D We'll see if I have the spoons. #dollsky

neutral · AI labelView post →Nothing’s official yet, but after knowing that Frozen 4 won’t be coming out soon after 3 and that there are no plans for an Encanto 2, I definitely have a strong feeling that we are getting yet another original WDAS film for 2029 and Zootopia 3 for 2030. The sequels can wait.
neutral · AI labelView post →There's no villain in Frozen (there's a twist where the sister's love interest is revealed to have ulterior motives, but he wasn't actually driving the core conflict at the center of the movie, that Elsa's secrecy around her powers have endangered the whole kingdom and her sister's life). At most, the bad people in the movie are merely taking advantage and scheming through chaos they didn't cause. There's no villain in Encanto, either. They suggest it might be Uncle Bruno a few times early on,…
