Encanto is becoming very big hit on Disney+

Everyone is talking about it. 

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Was worried with the pandemic it would get a bit forgotten but hopefully it has staying power like Moana on Disney+

[Movie nerd]

Pixar and Disney Animation films proving that even in changing environment quality and goodwill build with audience from decades of great films guarantee success and cultural relevance, past films found it in theaters, nowadays they do it on streaming. 

Soul, Luca and now Encanto, huge hits for Disney plus, good films will always find the audience.

To me Encanto is way better than Moana. I hope Encanto gets all the attention that Moana has got during these two years

Maybe if The Boys' showrunners make an edgy, uberviolent show about Mirabel taking on her oppressive super family

Watched this today, it was cute, but again, I didn’t find any of the songs memorable.
 

Side note: When a parent figure died, literally about 9 seconds into the film, I almost threw my phone at the TV. It’s so tired, Disney. It’s become a weird infatuation for them. Such a lazy trope. 
 

A generous 3/5 or 6/10

“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is heading for a top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 next week. It’ll be only the seventh song from an animated Disney movie to make that feat, and the first since “Let It Go” made it to #5 in 2014.

Encanto’s success only shows that Disney made a mistake by not making Raya a musical,or at least, having a couple of songs.  The Disney movies that have been more remembered over time are musicals. Coco, Frozen 1&2, Moana and tangled are still in people’s mind, while Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Ralph or Inside out are not as popular as they used to be

Raya should've been a mini series imo. Why does it have to be a movie in the streaming age?

The way Moana and Zootopia switched positions in popularity over the last 2-3 years compared to in 2016 when Moana was seen as the lesser film (which 🙄) shows how the original Sing releasing so soon after did real damage to Moana's BO legs and exposure during first run. Ah well, at least the film is getting all the love and recognition that it rightfully deserved.

He's not a parent of the protagonist and his death is the biggest reason for the intergenerational trauma that is the central theme of the film. No death, no film, so I don't get this complaint.

Are you going to throw a phone when Batman parents die again?

Not everything needs to be a musical.

None of that negates that it is a repeated and lazy trope that Disney use over and over again.

I’ve seen that parent death 5 too many times. Just not as many times as Disney animated films.

In an ideal world everything would be a musical

The album is projected to be #1 next week in the US with 66k units (Adele #2 with 61k units so it's going to be close).
