Disney’s Encanto Trailer Is Just Another Excuse for a Lin-Manuel Miranda Score
By Devon Ivie@devonsaysrelax
What in the Architectural Digest house of horrors hell has Encanto brought us? Did that wooden staircase turn into a slide? And the children are happy about this potential paralysis? We digress. As the latest stop on the 2021 cinematic-score express for Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Disney film revolves around an exceptional and fantastical family who live in an enchanted Colombian town cut off from the rest of the world, with everyone possessing some sort of magical gift that, while impressive, isn’t exactly practical. (Seriously, tell us what the benefits of shape-shifting are.) That is, everyone except Mirabel (Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Stephanie Beatriz), a bespectacled teen who’s coming to terms with the fact she has no special “gifts” of her own to show off. Miranda wrote all of the original songs for the film, which also stars Wilmer Valderrama’s voice. Encanto will be released this November.

Been trying to get these dudes to respect the musicals
How Did ‘Encanto’ Become Disney’s Biggest Hit Since ‘Frozen’?
Thanks to TikTok, hyper-relatability, and genuinely good song-crafting, the 'Encanto' soundtrack has become Disney's biggest hit since 'Frozen.'

Crazy how some of these movies have staying power and become classics over time.
For Disney I think it has always been the music! The movies are timeless for their era, but that music puts it over. Plus it also creates another stream of income.
^^^^^
Kaboom
Moana and Encanto soundtracks are tight and sold well. And CARRY the film to groups outside their target.
Sidebar...
Can't believe we STILL don't have a hip hop centered animated movie?
You mean the Roots Lin Manuel and please just hear me out...
Drake
Okay okay Pharrell
Couldn't create a timeless hip hop based soundtrack for a family friendly hip hop movie?

Apparently Disney isn't doing too well. The MCU isn't as profitable as it used to be and they're losing subscribers on their streaming network for the first time.
We will see. I like the Disney + overhaul they doing
But be clear... EVERYONE losing right now.
As they should. They've been fucking the writers over. They all should be feeling it especially the CEOs.
In all fairness, everyone is losing subscribers. People left cable cause of the over 100$ bill they had just to sign up for streaming services that all total to more than the cable bill.
Disney doesn't have enough content to keep subscribers like a Netflix. The yearly MCU or Star Wars show isn't enough to keep a subscriber.
^^^^
This actor strike is not at all going where I thought it would.
I few of the really smart dudes on here predicted something close to this happening potentially because of streaming and AI
And don't forget video game actors striking next.
Technically, they should have like 80 years worth of content on top of all the new IP they've created. These dudes own both Marvel and Star Wars. They're the House of Mouse. Nah they fucked up bruh
No doubt! And for older people 80 years of content, to me would be worth the service. Most people let's say 30 and under aren't fcuking with Disney like that. Outside of the few adult oriented movies, there really isn't TV that would keep someone under the age of 35. Disney trying to keep a family friendly organization isn't going to make money especially when they're giving their channel free on cable. Why pay for a service that you give for free on cable and YouTubeTV a streaming service?
A streaming service doesn't make sense for the little content that they're trying to showcase. Putting that content on HULU a service that they have a majority stake in and an already established streaming service would make more sense.
I agree they fcuked up
Agreed here. But what does Netflix have that appeals to the under 35 demo? And is that demo that important for streaming subscriptions? It seems like you'd want to appeal to ppl nearing middle age who don't really go out as much and have the disposable income to spend on several streaming networks.
They have new content. What person under 35 wants to watch reruns of the Mickey Mouse Club? FOMO is a bytch to a person that lives their life through Social Media. . Then those over 35 barely have time to watch new shows let alone the old ones that they MIGHT watch. HBO and other Premium Cable channels can get away with going straight to streaming service as they have shows and content that can pull different age and households. Will they? No, they can't make that switch just yet. I think a couple of generations die off that don't know the power of the internet and how to use it, those channels will jump to streaming service only. But Disney is its own worst enemy. You ONLY appeal with family friendly content. They're making money (Marvel, Star Wars), but losing it with the cost to support this streaming service (data centers, AWS licensing, etc...)
Disney used to own Miramax which had a lot of R rated films. I don't know if they own the rights to that stuff now and probably don't want to take the streaming site into that direction yet but it's definitely something they could do. Honestly, probably doesn't cost that much to get new content if that's the only thing that's holding them back. A lot of shit is cheap to produce nowadays since it's all digital.

Piece by Piece was not what I was asking for but a interesting test case

I wouldn't want a Hip-Hop inspired CHILDRENS animated movie. African folklore maybe
that too of course.
But we need experiences that the family can share together.
And also need to unify this hip hop before we lose it completely
So much of the music isn't appropriate for all ages.
Hip hop can easily be used like that and we have seen OUTSIDERS take it and do that for billions.
Why haven't we?
I totally get that, the problem with that is you tend to open it up for outsiders to come in and culture vulture when you make a childrens anything.
Moana or Encanto isn't for the whole family! It's for kids!!! Now they make it so parents can sit through 2hours of it. They tried it with Soul, but the aspect that they made for kids and kids wasn't feeling it. The danger of trying to make it through a city landscape isn't the same riding a raft over the ocean or running through a spooky forest or the secret rooms of a great manor.
We saw the popularity of the Lion King, why not go back to Africa? If they made a animated movie about Native Americans, it's going to be set in the early stages of AmeriKKKA and navigating the plains, not stepping over drunks while walking the streets of a reservation.
Focusing on Africa leaves out anything that has to do with the Diaspora. And The Lion King, as good as it is, doesn't really have anything to do with African culture or folktales. The story is based on the Japanese anime Kimba: The White Lion which may be loosely based on some African tales but likely very watered-down.
I haven't seen The Princess and The Frog because I wasn't a kid when it came out but from what I know about the story, that seems to have done Black American culture justice from a Disney children's film perspective. There's no reason why a film can't touch on hip-hop and not turn into gritty Ralph Bakshi film. We definitely don't want something like Coonskin.
I disagree.
That is family friendly entertainment. Kid can't go see the movie alone and the TWO MOVIES you picked unfortunately kill your point. Those, Coco and inside out are the MOST family friendly movies ABOUT FAMILY FOR FAMILY.
I usually chide reviewers because they confuse the two ideas.
Yes it has to be kid accessible and hit for THEM FIRST, second is the hit for adults IDEALLY.
So yes Moana 2 is child targeted. And any reviewer penalizing it for being JUST THAT is a dip sh*t. However the BEST kid movies besides being entertaining are able to give the adults SOMETHING. But I don't think that should EVER supercede the kids enjoyment.
*soapbox off
True. Now while I agree with everything you say, I gotta say the Diaspora folklore doesn't make for animated children's movies. Too much of it centers around slavery and racial injustice.
Also The Princess and The Frog was bullshyt! They had a prince who was a Brazilian white AND BROKE!!!!! And she only wanted was to open a restaurant. Jasmine, Princess. Snow White, Princess. Bella, I don't think Beast was a Prince/King, but he had wealth. Hell Vanellope von Schweetz was royalty in her video game!!! All these different princesses and we got a restaurateur married to a prince who's no longer a prince.
So out of context yes your disagreement holds weight, but the very next sentence puts what I am saying into context. The movies are for kids, BUT they make them so parents can sit through it. Now maybe not explaining that my "sit through it" is my way of saying: "adults can enjoy it also." I couldn't sit through Moana 2, I did...but I wanted to do a NUMBER of other things besides watching that. I sat through Brave no problem.
I feel like we're saying the same thing.
