encanto (2021)

I haven’t watched a new disney or pixar movie in a while so most of my reaction to this is just catching up to what’s changed in the state of the art for kids movies - the music is more “hip”, the animation is very cookie cutter, the story is taut and more interesting, and the spanish language dubs are disappointingly “generic spanish” even tho this clearly takes place in Colombia.

Watts’s second entry in the Rifters series doesn’t quite have the same unique magnetic characters of the first (and maybe it has slightly too many characters in general) but what it lacks in story it makes up for in prediction and world - read this to wallow in a truly terrible future dystopia that feels extremely likely.
