Product Information

The Denver Post journalist John Wenzel wrote, with Encanto alongside other 2021 films like West Side Story and Being the Ricardos, "Latino voices are having a moment in U.S. cinema, injecting a diverse set of cultures long ignored by TV, books, movies, video games, stage shows and news media." [165] Pamila Avila, writing for USA Today, underscored that Encanto is Disney's first feature with an all- Latin American cast, capturing "the complicated tug and pull between older and younger generations in Hispanic families." [166] Roughly 25% of viewership comes from Hispanic households, while 40% of viewers are between the ages of 2 and 11. [167] Crow, David (February 8, 2022). "Oscars 2022: Predictions and Analysis".

[41] As a result, Encanto was the first Disney Animation film to have choreographers involved in the development process from start to finish, meaning they worked closely with the production team to develop songs, characters, and story.

Over 800 people, 108 of them animators, were involved in the production of Encanto.

The film's animation, which journalists considered beautiful, [106] was a source of plaudits. [102] RogerEbert.com critic Monica Castillo thought the musical sequences and characters' rooms allowed animation more artistic and abstract than that of previous Disney films. [107] Writing for Good Morning America, Peter Travers deemed the visuals of Encanto miraculous, [108] while Shreemayee Das of Firstpost described the animation as having spellbinding intricacy. [109] Variety 's Owen Gleiberman gave acclaim, saying " Encanto has been visualized with a vivacious naturalistic glow (swirling flower petals, eye-candy pastels) that, at moments, is nearly psychedelic". [110] David Rooney from The Hollywood Reporter highlighted the film's colors and the designs of the costumes, natural settings, and Casita for particular praise. [111] For IndieWire, Kristen Lopez lauded the visuals as stunning and life-like. IGN 's Andrea Towers called the animation beautiful. [112] The Daily Telegraph film critic Robbie Collin was particularly amazed: " Encanto 's animation is dazzling in all sorts of ways, with technical effects and flights of creative fancy that would have been unimaginable even a year ago, particularly during the musical numbers."

[8] Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl is a 2022 live musical hosted by Lin-Manuel Miranda, which includes some of the film's cast members performing the songs from the film. The stage musical was performed on November 11 and 12, and a filmed special of the show was released on December 28, 2022 on Disney+. [183] Video games [ edit ] From working on Moana, Miranda knew that film's protagonist, Moana, originally had eight brothers before they were removed to streamline the film's plot. [22] As Miranda had expected from that experience, Disney Animation initially resisted moving forward with a dozen main characters for Encanto. [22] Miranda deliberately wrote the film's opening number, "The Family Madrigal", to prove to Disney Animation that it was possible to efficiently introduce such a large family and its internal dynamics to the audience. [22] Because of the film's 90-minute runtime, the filmmakers struggled to make the center family feel genuine, fleshed out, and human, and to give them arcs. [26]
