REVIEW: Encanto

It's been a while since I made a review about a Disney animated film and they are now expanding stories beyond the usual fairytales. One big leap is when they also made Raya and the Last Dragon which focused on the Southeast Asian lore and culture. This year, they now set our eyes to Latin America with ENCANTO. 

At first it also sounds Filipino which is a term to wild enchanted beings but it also means Enchantment which is the major force of the film. Produced Walt Disney Pictures and Walt Disney Animation Studios, this was released in November 2021 in the US and eventually available for streaming on Disney+.

The premise is centered o family which is very important in Latino culture, also set specifically in Colombia, it prides itself to show the Colombian culture, aesthetics, and other elements. It tells the story of the Madrigal family which is headed by their matriarch Abuela Alma. Her children and grandchildren are given various gifts that they use to make life easier and help their secluded community. However one of her grandkids did not possess one, Mirabel.
