Encanto is one of the best Disney’s films in its generation, removing the status of Frozen as a notable musical animated film. The music and the graphic designs of the film draws the audiences in and makes the audience have this magical feeling. The bright colours of the movie also bring this magical delight that allows the audience to engage even though the individual might feel withdrawn with the same comment of ‘not another Disney film with music and dancing’. The introduction of Encanto looks the same as other Disney films with singing and dancing but there is something about the first song which makes the individual tune into the film. The instant interaction with the audience creates an idea in the individuals’ mindset which allows individuals to create a relationship and allow individuals to create a likeness to the main character (Mirabel Madrigal played by Stephanie Beatriz). 

The magical experience begins with the interactions with the house and instrumentals. The sound engages with the audience immediately and its effects are so unique that it allows the audience to understand the journey that they are about to go on. The introduction of the Magridals bridges a gap and releases the glass ceiling effects which have existed in Disney’s universe for a long time. The majority of female casting and highlighting the idea of female power in society. The Magridals introduction lets the audience see the different types of females where the film shows beauty and strength in the same light. From the onset, it is very difficult to tell what it is going to happen in the film as Mirabel does not give anything away about her powers until her cousin Antonio Madrigal (played by Ravi Cabot-Conyers) is scared to walk up to his new room awaiting his magical powers to happen. From then, the inquest begins the journey to find why the candlelight was diminishing and also the inquest of Bruno Madigral (played by John Leguizamo) had vanished and banished from the house of the Madrigals. 

A south and Central America music inspired drums and percussions along with strings and acoustic guitar bring the music out of the film. The music from the film takes inspiration from the modern sounds of pop, R&B and hip-hop. Jessica Darrow’s ‘Surface Pressure’ shows a unique creative process where different sounds from all genres were put together to make a very powerful song which shows how women in society contribute in terms of being strong whilst having the maternal instinct of caring for other people. The music changes the perceptions of the film and it has led to every record being broken in the music chart since its release in December 2021. ``We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ and ‘Surface Pressure'' are some of the songs that have brought this magical experience to light and it will be iconic songs for generations to come. 

The screenplays are on point and the artistry is defined with the graphics matching the scenery of the story. The colours of the film take ultra high definition to a whole new level. There are a lot of Disney music inspired animated films and there are some films where the songs and the storylines are truly defined but Encanto is different. Encanto is different because it provides the different topics that we face in society in the film if you look at the deeper issues such as anxiety and pressures that we face to be in society. The cultural enlightenment with the characters and music are profound with different races and ethnicities in a community. The magical experience is all about the colours, the music and the fondness of the characters - everyone has a character that they want to be and that is the magic that Encanto has brought.
