Encanto

“Every character, even minor ones, is well thought out and cast; the eye-popping visual design is not only inspired and mesmerizing but also functional; and memorable songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda and others complement the story perfectly.”

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle · 100

“Encanto is just so lovely to look at that its story, while well-told, is almost secondary. You honestly just want to crawl inside the screen, wear Mirabel’s swooshing skirts, pet those donkeys, sniff those flowers, and chow down on that grilled corn. Wonder and imagination are in abundant supply.”

“It’s only appropriate that Encanto — fueled by eight original songs by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda — turns into that most special thing of all: A triumph in every category: art, songs and heart.”

Mark Kennedy, The Associated Press · 100

“In a movie as visually stunning as Encanto, it’s the depth of its empathy that might be its most miraculous feature.”

Drew Taylor, The Playlist · 100

“Encanto is a masterpiece that makes the Disney musical-with-a-splash-of-magic formula soar.”
