If you enjoyed the movie, this book will draw you even deeper into the Madrigal family and display even more of what’s going on behind the supposed ‘perfection’ of the family. The final version of the film is deliberately vague as to the timeframe in which it is set, but drew inspiration from early 20th-century Colombia. After the film's premiere, he disclosed that he had been writing songs for the film from the very beginning.

Diane Guerrero as Isabela Madrigal: Mirabel's oldest sister who is 21 and can make flowers bloom anywhere. I even liked in the end how some of the others expressed how they wished they could be themselves more, particularly Pepa.Polygon 's Petrana Radulovic found the familial interactions stunningly realistic and strengthened by magical metaphors. I've written him as a weasel and a chicken… but now behold… our enthusiastic… but clueless toucan, Pico!

Encanto Review: Disney's Lush and Lovely Animated Fairy Tale, Fueled by a Tasty Batch of Lin-Manuel Miranda Songs". The residents of the Encanto dress in neutral tones; thus, the main family are distinguished by their vivid colors.

David Lynch, writing for KENS, agreed, and stated the act was weak due to an underdeveloped relationship between Mirabel and Alma, as well as clumsy writing.The movie doesn’t go into too much detail into how Luisa likes to relax outside of sitting in a hammock sipping on a cool drink. Her sisters live happy and contented lives in the roles that their magical abilities have created for them, while Maribel is just trying to fit in.

One thing that found fascinating about the movie was Abuela's struggling relationship with Mirabel and here it's expanded. The ideas discarded along the way include: a young modern-day woman is transported by a magical doorknob to another world; [24] :17 Agustín was the family patriarch who discovered Encanto and personally built Casita there; [24] :17 the film would have been expressly set in the 1950s and featured cosmopolitan and modern fashions, [24] :22 as well as motor vehicles and a trip to the big city where Alma had originally come from; [24] :146 Casita was an extension of only Alma's personality, rather than the entire family; [24] :41 the film would have followed the story of multiple generations and Casita over a 100-year timespan; [24] :49 Mirabel was desperately trying to find her magical gift, rather than merely expressing frustration with not being granted one; [24] :71 the colors of Mirabel's world as seen from her perspective would have reflected her emotional state as she narrated the first two acts, and then changed over to more realistic colors when the film shifted to Alma's point of view in the third act; [24] :76 Luisa's room would have been made out of stone and appeared "boring" to reflect her sense of responsibility, but would have concealed a "secret exit" to a hidden room similar to a "theme park" where she could have fun; [24] :94 and Isabela at one point had a "dorky" suitor named Bubo who came from the big city. The studio's animators ended up having to work remotely with the Colombian Cultural Trust; for example, Espinosa Uribe gave the animators a virtual tour of Colombia with the help of her cell phone. Botero reprises her role in the Spanish dub of the film, [10] [11] while Yaneth Waldman provides her singing voice in said version.Many members of the Madrigal family could only be bought in more costly merchandise of the entire family. For Encanto, Disney Animation initially hired African-American choreographer Jamal Sims, who insisted on immediately hiring Colombian-American dancer Kai Martinez as the film's animation reference consultant. Some scenes are slightly different, but I loved seeing certain scenes from the POV of the sisters, giving a bit more insight into their relationship.
