Encanto Review Roundup

I loved every minute of Coco and was more than happy with how Vivo turned out, so of course, I am readying my body for another Lin-Manuel joint. Some of my favourite Walt Disney movies are those wisp you away to new worlds/cultures, and is a tasty feast for not only your eyes, but the ears as well.  So, does Encanto continues this fine tradition? Here's the review roundup:
REEL VIEWS
'Ultimately, Encanto proves to be a departure from the mainstream for Disney/Pixar – more along the lines of a WALL-E or Soul than a Frozen or Finding Nemo. The film is notable for continuing to expand the corporation’s reach into different cultures while displaying a welcome maturation of animation beyond the conventional American standard into something that, although no less family-friendly, is thought-provoking and stimulating.'

INDEPENDENT 

'It’s a touch ironic, then, that in Encanto’s final stretch, the filmmakers choose to throw in a reference to Frozen’s “Let it Go”, the unstoppable earworm that has overshadowed so much of Disney’s recent output. Encanto has confidently helped steer Disney animation into its future, not merely in terms of representation but in the sophistication of its storytelling. So isn’t it funny that Disney still couldn’t quite shake off its past?'

THE WRAP
'This emotional peak confronts Abuela’s choices and her unresolved grief with compassion, bridging her schism with an understanding Mirabel. Turning “Encanto” into a bona-fide tearjerker, this moment of recognition between the sacrifices of the past and for the welfare of the present and future resonates with impact similar to that in the unbearably affecting climax in “Coco.” This is where “Encanto” soars past its imperfections for an instant of that earnest Disney alchemy that’s kept them in business so long. Enchant it does, in ebbs and flows, mostly when relatable human ache peaks through the razzle-dazzle.'

VARIETY 
'The whole movie has a mercurial, mood-hopping free-form vibe that, at its best, suggests Disney with a touch of “Yellow Submarine.” When Isa begins to see the light, instead of beautiful flowers she produces a cactus. Prickly, but at least it’s her. That’s the kind of movie “Encanto” is. Is there a villain? For a while, it sure seems like it. But it turns out that the most dastardly thing in this canny and touching fairy tale is to ignore the love under our noses.'

US TODAY
'The plot, however, lets them down after a buoyant start gives way to a third act that seems to miss the film’s central point. Also, the family is so huge that some interesting supporting characters get lost as the story shifts to Mirabel’s main quest, and the movie just doesn’t have enough run time to flesh out the fascinating relationship between the Madrigals and the neighbors who hang on their every deed. But some storytelling misfires won’t keep this movie being loved by kids and “Hamilton” junkies. From the catchy tunes to the lovable Mirabel, “Encanto” conjures a winning musical tale about universal family ties.'

IGN (VIDEO REVIEW)

In the end, the film amassed a critical score of 93% from 60 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems anything Lin-Manuel touches turns to gold as Encanto looks to be another stellar hit under his belt.
