About this deal

The film is strictly in Mirabel's point of view so it's very unique to see the same story told by Isabela and Luisa–we get to see their internal struggles with themselves and even a glimpse into their own relationships with their Abuela Alma. And Mirabel too, for that matter. One thing that found fascinating about the movie was Abuela's struggling relationship with Mirabel and here it's expanded. Granted it's not much considering it's a book aimed at children, but it's more that what Encanto's Junior Novelization did. Another great thing about the novel is the way in which the songs are handled. Some novelizations include the song lyrics verbatim and write them as if the characters simply burst out into song like they do in the movie. While this works in a visual medium, it seems strange in writing. Here, most of the songs are included, but they're incorporated into conversations in a way that feels natural. You can still hear the songs in your head, and the information and feelings contained in the songs are still included, just in a way that feels less awkward.

Isabel wishes she could be herself rather than having to work extra hard to be perfect. She also wishes she could have a better relationship with Mirabel, but she's afraid of being associated with Mirabel's "troublemaking" and being accused of doing something wrong. Luisa loves helping people, but she wishes people wanted her help for things other than her strength...like her amazing hugs! It's great to see more of the motivations and the desires of these two characters as well as to see into their magical rooms! Having Isabel and Luisa's points of view really add to the story and help see more of the internalized stress that's been caused by Abuela's expectations that subsequently leads to the failure of the magic.it was nice learning more about luisa’s and isabela’s emotions and watching things unravel from their perspectives.

Disney has temporarily released 'THE ART OF #ENCANTO' for free as part of its campaign for the Oscars. Isabela’s perspective offers a glimpse into her attitude and seeming perfection that the movie couldn’t do, making her much more likable. Luisa’s perspective gives us insight into her own struggles and difficulties in bearing the load of working all the time and needing to be strong. All three sisters face their own problems, and it’s refreshing to see them come together to work them out. For starters, each sister has their own struggles which is shown in the movie and emphasized in this book. But what is also highlighted more in this book via Luisa and Isabella's POV is that Mirabel is an outsider and "annoying" because she does not have a gift and is always trying to help. I loved the movie and I wanted to learn more about the sister. Honestly when I decided to read this book, I expected something different. since it said "tale of three sisters", I did not expect it to be their point of view throughout the movie. it wasn't bad to have those POVs since we really saw it from Maribel's perspective in the movie but to read what she was thinking mentally was very enlightening. but the songs missing takes so many feelings away and the story lost a bit of its magic along the way.I really enjoyed it, however it was a lot like the novelization that I read: some things were different about the characters. Mirabel's mom blames her for the destruction of Casita and the encanto, but in the movie, she does not. She and her husband are the only ones who are ever supportive and gentle with Mirabel. And they understand her better than anyone else too. Isabela in the beginning really surprised me since she seemed to have sympathy for Mirabel. Her character in the movie hardly makes it so and it doesn't really make sense to me that she would hide it, unless it was because she thought Abuela wouldn't approve. Other than those things, I overall enjoyed it. Isabella and Luisa are always trying to be helpful and feel the need to be help to get Abuela's love. But since they have gift's its not an issue and they avoid to do things wrong. which is understandable but the judgement that they have towards Mirabel, as wrong as it may feel, is spot on with siblings. obviously, you can't really put songs into books like this, and sometimes the translation into a written scene worked really well - i liked the one at the end for example -, and sometimes it didn't quite satisfy - we don't talk about bruno remains unmatched.

Cast: Wilmer Valderrama, Stephanie Beatriz, Diane Guerrero, Angie Cepeda, Jessica Darrow, María Cecilia Botero, Adassa , Mauro Castillo, Rhenzy Feliz, Carolina GaitanA Tale of Three Sisters is a novelization of the film, but it gives more to the story. Instead of having just Mirabel as a POV, we also get the points of view of her two older sisters, Isabela and Luisa. Isabela is seen as the perfect one: graceful, beautiful, and gifted with the ability to grow flowers; Luisa has super strength, and she works hard to serve the family and the people of the village. In the film, there are important scenes between the sisters and Mirabel, but seeing parts of the story through their eyes gives them more depth and makes me like them even more. Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. i really love that dolores and camilo get to say something about their struggle at the end of the book and i honestly adore the overall changes that the auther made for the ending, with dolores talking so much that only mariano wants to work beside her, their relationship seems a lot less forced this way.
