First reactions from the premiere:

Quote:
Encanto is pure #Disney magic! The voice acting is amazing across the board with Stephanie Beatriz bringing hilarity and heart to her performance. The animation is gorgeous, the story is brilliant, and the music is absolutely phenomenal!

Quote:
Encanto's visuals are breathtaking. It's always a fun time with Lin-Manuel Miranda behind the songs, but it isn't as catchy as his previous works. As for the film's story? It's lacking that dramatic punch. There was someone in my theater sobbing loudly, so there's that.

Quote:
Encanto is a fun and charming entry into the @DisneyAnimation canon. @Lin_Manuel's songs are amazing, and, I mean... A main character with glasses! And short, curly hair! A win for all of us.

Quote:
Encanto is a joyful, jubilant ode to family with the perfect blend of heart & humor. Enchanting, hugely entertaining, awe-inducing & dazzling. A must-see magical marvel. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s songs will make you tap your feet & make tears fall.

Disney’s Encanto is just lovely. It’s full of so much energy and fun. I’m not always a musical fan, but Luisa’s song has been in my head since the screening. It’s the perfect family film. Also, cute animated rats are always a happy thing for me.

Quote:
Encanto is super cute! Stephanie Beatriz, Diane Guerrero and Jessica Darrow shine. I loved the music, the songs are so fun and lively. It’s got a beautiful message about self worth, and it was refreshing to see some Afro-Latinx characters not just in the background, but as part of the main cast, hopefully paving the way for better representation going forward.

Quote:
Encanto enchants w/ its beautiful Colombian cultural specificities, colorful visuals, and emotionally resonating themes of family. 60 films in, Disney still finds ways to captivate its audience with their animated musicals. This one is a real tearjerker but also such a joy!
Source: https://twitter.com/IamMichaelJLee/s...02146219282435

Quote:
Encanto may be one of the best films I’ve seen all year. I was genuinely touched throughout, and couldn’t stop myself from dancing in my seat. From pitch perfect performances to gorgeous animation to storylines that really hit home, this movie is set to be a classic!

Disney's #Encanto is vivid and imaginative. You'll fall in love with the Madrigal family immediately!

Quote:
Encanto had me crying, laughing, and enjoying myself from start to finish. It's a beautiful film with an amazing cast of characters that you can't help but love! Also, you thought you liked Luisa now? Wait til you see her truly blossom! You'll love her!

Encanto is a really good movie with really great music. Not gonna be surprised if it’s the one that gets Lin-Manuel Miranda that EGOT.
Source: https://twitter.com/djkevlar/status/1456103051484295168

Quote:
Encanto was heartwarming and sweet, filled with songs to jam to, and a story that felt authentic and universal. I really dug it.

Quote:
Encanto is stunning! A colorful display of the visual and cultural wonder of Colombia. The film is filled with life, vibrant colors, lively music and memorable, charismatic characters. It warms my soul to see a Disney film celebrating Colombia. Que se escuche mi gente!
Source: https://twitter.com/SquadLeaderAce/s...04615993217028

Quote:
Encanto is a visual and musical feast for the eyes & ears. A joyous animated celebration of Colombian culture & family. Lin-Manuel’s music continues to impress and is very likely be recognized for Best Original Song. Loved all the characters especially Mirabel and Bruno.

Lastly, kudos to Byron Howard Jared Bush & Charise Castro Smith for telling a story that not embraces and celebrates culture, but does so in a way that is relatable to everyone including children of all ages. This film conveys the kind of Disney magic that I want to see more of.

Quote:
Encanto is magnificent! Afro-Latinos present, our culture alive, a story of ours told. Relates to anyone fighting to live up to expectations. Wept like a baby. The 60th Disney feature is one of their best. Loved it to bits.

"Family weirdos get the worst rap." Line of my life.

Quote:
Encanto deals with some complex issues regarding family expectations. Definitely have to simmer on it (similar to how I felt after INSIDE OUT). Songs are good. Visuals are on par with the beauty of RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON.
Source: https://twitter.com/Journeys_Film/st...09675259203585

Quote:
The songs are redundant and gratuitous, but otherwise Disney's #Encanto is very good. A visual marvel that diversifies in terms of representation *and* storytelling. A surprisingly compelling supernatural mystery with a grounded emotional impact that pays off in spades.

Fareb, I haven't discussed Encanto because I cut cable last year and haven't seen any marketing for it, not even a trailer. That will change the closer we get to the wide release. The press screenings were this week.

I'm kinda excited for it since it's an original flick but at the same time, all their human characters do seem to live in the same universe now. These characters wouldn't look out of place in Raya, Moana, Frozen or Tangled. Maybe even some of the Pixar flicks too.

It's the first film since Winnie the Pooh that will be presented in 1.85 instead of 2.39.

As opposed to all the other Disney animate films that were geared towards adults?? Honestly why are you surprised at this? Young kids are the target audience but that doesn’t mean everyone can’t enjoy it.

He didn’t for Moana, why would he do it here? It’s Colombia so rap wouldn’t be culturally accurate for their traditional music.

He snuck a bit of it in during "You're Welcome" I am expecting something similar in this one.

It was more a patter than a rap, very similar to Under the Sea part where Sebastian sings:
"The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul (Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat, they know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow"
