The grandma had a real “hurt people hurt people vibe.” The idea that her son was so estranged that he went crazy living in between the walls due to her obsessive need to preserve the family house (due to her past trauma) is really sad, but also I guess true to life—so many people who create misery for their families because they are reliving past traumas that they haven’t processed in a healthy way. it’s nice that there was redemption and forgiveness at the end.

Abuelita needed a good trauma informed therapist. Maybe that was Mirabella’s super power. She’ll be the village therapist.

I thought pretty good but not incredible. I thought it was pretty predictable what the conflict and resolution would be. I like Miranda but I feel like a lot of his songs sound similar. I think I would have liked these songs better if I didn’t feel like they were all similar to ones I’ve heard before. But I might download the Spanish one and see if it grows on me.

The animation and set design was amazing though. Probably one of disney’s best as far as the visual look of the movie.

I thought it was entertaining (once) but don’t get the cult following.

Finally watched this. Can’t stop singing We don’t talk about Bruno/covid (thanks holderness thread). I love Stephanie Beatriz. She was also in In the Heights as one of the hair stylists.
