Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaStephanie Beatriz was originally going to be offered the role of Luisa. However, when the production met with her, they realized that she was not at all like her signature role of Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013) but much more bubbly. So they offered her the part of Mirabel instead.
- GoofsWhen Mirabel and Agustín are talking in the nursery after Mirabel finds Bruno's vision, Dolores overhears their conversation that the magic is in danger. However, with her gift being superhuman hearing and proving that she could hear Luisa's eye twitching all night, she should have heard Alma talking to Pedro that same night and mentioning that the miracle is in danger.
Dolores is clearly able to make selective hearing choices as a matter of sanity, as otherwise the entire world of sound would be a big, maddening, constant cacophony to her. The usually unflappable Luisa suddenly exhibiting any sign of stress is a unique enough development to become a focal point on its own.
- Quotes
Mirabel: [climbing the stairs in Bruno's room and getting increasingly exhausted] Welcome to the family Madrigal. There's so many stairs in the casa Madrigal. You think there would be another way to get so high 'cause we're magic, but no. Magical. How many stairs fit in here? Bruno, your room is the worst!
- Crazy creditsThe Disney logo has Casa Madrigal in place of the castle, with a swarm of butterflies making the castle arc.

Music and Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda
Performed by Stephanie Beatriz and Olga Merediz
I have to say I was a little bit caught off guard by the opening number. My first thought was: "This doesn't sound like Moana... it sounds like Hamilton!" The songs are full of rapping, rhyming, and rhythm. Not to mention beat-drops! This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't match the type of music Disney movies usually consist of. The upbeat tunes sounded more like pop or hip hop, which are both very present in the musical Hamilton. All I could think about is how much the songs remind me of Hamilton songs because of the rapping and rhyming sequence. The songs were good, they just didn't match the energy of the movie. They didn't have the same magical glow, if you know what I mean. It's almost as if Encanto would be better as a broadway musical!
Also, the musical numbers put on by the characters seemed so forced. They didn't ease into them, they suddenly just started singing (or rapping!) At some points the song didn't even add to the plot, it was just forced in there.
Speaking of the plot, I was not a fan of the ending. Without a primary villain present in the movie, there was no one to defeat or overcome. It feels like there is a void that the ending didn't satisfy.
Well, I'd say I enjoyed the movie. Despite my opinions on the out-of-place music, it was overall a masterpiece of a film. I will definitely be listening to the soundtrack a few more times to see if my opinions change at all.
