[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Encanto was terrible. Characters underdeveloped, lame music, no villain or romance, and the problem solved by a nice family therapy session. My kids didn't like it either. [/quote]

Same! I think I liked it more than my DD, which is not saying much. The Bruno song is catchy in an ear worm way but the movie itself felt so thin. Also, we are Latino and something about the cultural portrayal bugged me. I guess it's the way it leaned hard into certain stereotypes. It felt corny to me and I feel like the family dynamics left no one to root for at all. It just kind of felt like a bummer.

But we just don't get into Disney movies much at all anyway. We've tried Frozen, Moana, Luca, now Encanto, and while DD likes dressing up like Elsa, she's never asked to watch any of them again and actively panned Moana and Encanto (she found Moana too scary and Encanto boring). I feel similar about them all as I do about a lot of the Marvel movies -- they are formulaic, the characters are weak, and the climax of the movie is often the part where I am most bored and restless. But at least the Marvel movies are sometimes funny.[/quote]

PP, try Up, Brave, Toy Story, and Wall-E.  Not formulaic and really actually thought provoking and heart felt. Up is really amazing.  [/quote]
