Encanto review by Ahana Kulkarni, 604 A movie that’s been talked about a lot recently is the latest Disney film, Encanto.

Dolores has super hearing, etc. For whatever reason, Mirabel did not get a gift, unlike the rest of her family.

It’s a vibrant film The plot of this movie centres around with a lot of cool backgrounds. The the main character, Mirabel, and her family, the Madrigals.

songs are great, and the Encanto soundtrack made the Billboard top 100. Fun Fact: The songs are written by Lin Manuel Miranda, who also wrote the music for Hamilton and Moana. Overall, I would rate Encanto a 5 out of 5 stars.

It’s on Disney+ if you would like to watch it, so if you have Disney+, definitely check it out!
