Encanto

Megan Thee Stallion joined the cast of 'Encanto' as well as Becky G and Luis Fonsi for the first live performance of “We Don't Talk About Bruno.”

However, I suppose we can only have so many good things as the performance eventually became … something else entirely. It’s all anyone can talk about … Megan Thee Stallion gave a surprise performance with the cast of Encanto! Also, there was that thing that happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock. Anyway, Encanto! “We don’t talk about Bruno-no-no”! Ha-ha, how fun! Unfortunately, they didn’t include the best verse.

With a trunk of tunes from 3x Tony winner Lin Manuel Miranda, and a double platinum hit song in “We Don't Talk About Bruno,” Encanto is clearly Broadway ...

And again, it’s because of all the glory the film carries, from being a celebration of diversity to “eight incredible songs that Lin wrote and the story Charise (Castro Smith) and Jared (Bush) wrote” said Spencer. Encanto was also up for Germaine Franco’s best original score tonight, however, lost out to Hans Zimmer’s Dune. The animated Disney feature, which was spared from a Disney+ day-and-date theatrical release, was also nominated for Miranda’s original song “Dos Oruguitas”. Clark Spencer, President of Disney Animation Studio, and one of the Oscar winning producers on Encanto tonight said it’s “still early” but “it feels like a natural for someday.”

Encanto won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature on Sunday, beating out Flee, The Mitchells vs. the Machines and two other Disney animated features Luca and ...

The candle gave magical gifts to Alma’s family for 50 years, until her granddaughter Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) mysteriously receives no gift. As she is fleeing from her home, Alma Madrigal (María Cecilia Botero) loses her husband and prays for a miracle to save her three children.

Fans of “Encanto” finally witnessed the cast perform the track live for the first time at the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday night.

He crooned along to the romantic song as a couple danced in front of him. The song, which still sits in the top five of the chart, is Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first No. 1 as a writer. While “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” didn’t land a nomination, Spanish-language ballad “Dos Orguitas,” which means “Two Little Caterpillars” was recognized by the Academy. “Dos Orguitas” was nominated for best original song along with “Be Alive” from “King Richard,” “Down to Joy,” from “Belfast,” “No Time to Die,” from “No time to Die” and “Somehow You Do,” from “Four Good Days.”

Lin-Manuel Miranda, who penned "Encanto's" hit songs, missed the ceremony after his wife tested positive for COVID-19.

This power was exemplified inthe story of Kenzo Brooks, a 2-year-old Black boy who saw "Encanto's" Afro-Latino character Antonio Madrigal and thought it was himself on the screen. Colombian singer-songwriter Sebastián Yatra performed "Dos Oruguitas" on the Oscars stage. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who scored eight original songs for "Encanto,"would have joined the elite "EGOT" clubof winners of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony if "Dos Oruguitas" had won. Not counting films from its Pixar subsidiary, Disney has won the animation Oscar four times since it was first handed out in 2002.

Like many Disney films, Encanto can be categorized as a fantasy musical, but Encanto fits comfortably under the magical realism umbrella.

As Pedro and Alma are forced apart, the song tells of the chrysalis. The devastating song, “Dos Oruguitas” (Two Caterpillars) tells the story of Pedro and Alma falling in love and protecting their family. Luisa has the weight of the town on her shoulders, moving churches and donkeys and redirecting rivers. By surrounding this story with the story of the Truebas and the supernatural, the political is somewhat hidden. While I do not believe the magic held by the Madrigal family of Encanto is meant to be political, I do think it’s a reflection of their family trauma, which is also comparable to contemporary family stories. Their safe little town, the Encanto, is thanks to the Madrigals. The town of Macondo in Garcia Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude is similarly founded. The supernatural elements are proportional to the world. Magic and supernatural abilities are commonly connected to emotion in Magical Realism. Where the European taken on Magical Realism was made of things that were too strange to be real, Latin America’s Magical Realism incorporated the “strange” as part of reality. We don’t need to know to understand the story. Like many Disney films, Encanto can be categorized as a fantasy musical, but Encanto fits comfortably under the Magical Realism umbrella. The magic of Encanto flows like the river in the film: strong, ever-present, and able to be re-routed.
