Answer:
Encanto (2021)' is, for me, easily Disney's
best film of 2021. It's vibrant, colourful and
energetic from its opening moments,
ultimately emerging as an utterly
enchanting and enjoyable experience. It's
full of life and passion, balancing its
cavalcade of near-neon hues and fast-
paced musical cues with some genuine
character development and a strong
underlying theme. Of course, the flick is
highly derivative of similar fare, with its set-
up and ultimate payoff feeling especially
well-worn even within Disney's own
filmography. The thing is, though, that just
because it has been done before doesn't
mean it isn't worth doing again, particularly
if it is done as well as it is here. The piece
packs quite a bit of emotional punch and
manages to truly stick its cathartic landing,
presenting a message that's relevant and
resonant no matter who you are. It also
includes a few innovations on the formula,
primarily in that it doesn't really have an
actual antagonist (though you could argue
that the antagonist is societal and familial
pressure born from generational trauma).
The final few moments come incredibly
close to undermining the entire point of the
plot, but the piece is just about able to
have its cake and eat it, too. It does this by
avoiding the most obvious way in which it
could undercut its central theme, instead
opting to stick to its guns when it comes to
the one element that really needs to be
steadfast in order for its theming not to
seem hypocritical. The picture is steeped in
Columbian culture, which is a treat to see,
and eludes to the violent displacement that
many Columbian people have sadly
experienced, allowing its genuine magic to
be born from genuine tragedy. It isn't
exactly dark overall - in fact, it actively
reduces its more grim elements to near
subtext - but it has a much deeper
understanding of its central themes than
you may expect. The flick is just a ton of
fun, too. Its animation is downright beautiful
at times, and its overall aesthetic is just
really magical. Its musical sequences are
spectacular, both in terms of their audio
and their accompanying visuals, and they
do a fantastic job of advancing the story
while also providing an insight into the
various characters they relate to. They're
also just really enjoyable. However,
because of their often overly complex
nature (a symptom of the way in which Lin-
Manuel Miranda writes almost all of his
music), I can't see myself listening to them
outside of the movie. They also aren't all
that memorable. Still, it's worth noting that
I've only seen the feature once and that the
songs may grow on me over time. It's also
worth noting that almost every character
feels like a richly rounded individual,
afforded just enough attention so that they
stand out and appear to have depth
without detracting from the protagonist's
internal journey. A handful of characters
are given proper arcs, which are satisfying
and appreciated even if some are housed
entirely within a single song, and the
affable hero (who seems much older than
fifteen, more like a young adult) is afforded
the opportunity to grow over the course of
the entire affair. Her journey is one of self-
actualisation, and I like how the narrative
frames her development through the way
she is perceived rather than the way she
actually is (mild thematic spoilers to follow).
She isn't 'the chosen one' or anything like
that, she's simply herself and that's all she
needs to be. There's never anything
'wrong' with her and she's pretty much
always in the right; her journey involves
both herself and her family learning to
appreciate her for who she is rather than
for what she can or can't do, something
which ultimately applies to each member of
the household (end of mild thematic
spoilers). Again, this isn't groundbreaking,
but it's a resonant and well-realised arc
that's executed successfully enough that its
culmination is actually quite affecting.
Overall, this is a satisfying and entertaining
animated musical. It's full of infectious
energy and is just a blast pretty much from
start to finish. It has a handful of plot
problems I haven't touched on, but they
aren't really worth mentioning because
they have very little impact on the
experience. It's a really enjoyable and
enchanting affair that should make you
smile and might make you cry.
