Encanto

The tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family's last hope.

Encanto earned broad admiration for its dazzling animation, emotionally layered portrait of intergenerational family trauma, and genuine cultural specificity in its Colombian setting — but critics were genuinely split on the songs, with some calling them instant classics and others finding them forgettable, and the film's adherence to Disney formula divided reviewers almost evenly, with detractors calling the story unfocused and the third act underdeveloped.
