What is up bros?
Welcome to the All Bros Podcast.
I'm Caleb.
And I'm Jonathan.
And we are a couple of sick bros.
We just cannot catch a break.
Or at least I can.
Yeah, I was gonna say, it's more so Caleb.
Literally, poor guy had like COVID less than a month ago and now he's already got another
cold.
Yeah, I don't think it's COVID though.
So.
Oh god.
But it finally hit me.
Yeah, finally got you.
Luckily it wasn't, I don't think it was me that gave it to you, so.
No dude, I'm pretty sure it was someone at work.
Fair, so.
Anyway.
We're a couple of sick bros that love to watch critique movies.
Cause that's all we can do right now.
Yeah right.
But also enjoy a lot of bit of the nerd life.
This week on the podcast in 4K Spotlight we have a new movie coming out.
Obviously that's kind of what 4K Spotlight's for.
Anyway.
I don't know.
This is gonna be an interesting episode.
And through the wall we have some gameplay footage for a new game that we are both super
excited to play.
We spent way too much pre-ordering on.
Yeah.
And then we also got a trailer for a cool Netflix series which I thought was worth talking
about.
Like I know we don't like discuss TV shows that much on this show.
Like other than like Marvel related.
But this one just seemed like so much fun and it just kind of wanted to bring, like
I don't think it's getting enough attention.
Yeah, I would definitely agree with you on that one.
I mean hell I just heard about it from him so yeah you can definitely tell it's not getting
enough attention.
Yeah so.
And then after that we will be breaking down Encanto.
What a movie.
Oh my gosh.
Can't wait to talk about it.
Yes.
But with that let's say we get into the episode.
Let's do it.
Hey guys.
I'm Crash.
Posted the podcast Crash & Tez's Movie Seller.
On our show me and my co-host pick a new movie each week and rate each movie on a few categories
that we think are important to making a great movie.
After we rate the movie it gets a final rating and that lands it somewhere on our seller
scale where it will get labeled as either a low, premium, or a top-shelf film.
Catch us on platforms like Spotify, Google, Amazon Music, and more.
And don't forget to follow us on social media.

criticism to make the show more entertaining.
Overall don't forget to follow or subscribe and rate and review us and get ready for an
entertaining to show with us.
See you guys then.
Dude I've been playing a bit of catch up on his show just because I was down and out for
a little bit.
But I immediately after I got released listened to his Spider-Man No Way Home episode because
I was going to rip him a new asshole if he did not give all 10s to the movie like he
did for ours.
I was like if he even critiques this a little bit I will throw a bitch fit.
Like I was waiting for him to hit me up with like a 9.9 or something like that.
I'm like no if it's not all 10s I will be throwing a fit.
But luckily spoiler alert he did.
So anyway getting into 4k spotlight we have a new release this week Rose do you want to
talk about this one?
I would love to.
So this week on 4k spotlight we got Goats Busters Afterlife coming to 4k.
It sounded like you said goats buster.
Wait what?
It sounded like you said goats busters.
That's the rip off in Russia.
Goat busters.
So this unfortunately isn't getting any store exclusives which is kind of bullshit it's
not getting a steelbook or anything.
But it is getting a Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection box set that comes with of course
Ghostbusters 1, 2 and Ghostbusters Afterlife and just because Paul Fee kind of threw a
bitch fit saying that his movie is considered in the Ghostbusters franchise but yet ok someone
on YouTube explained this very well.
They only have to put his movie in if it's called Ghostbusters the complete collection.
If it's called Ghostbusters the ultimate collection which it's called they can just include the
first two and this third film Afterlife.
They can just push 2016 aside like I know a lot of fans would like to do.
But because Paul Feig, however the hell you say his last name threw a bitch fit on Twitter
they decided to and I don't know if this was the plan all along but they are including
Ghostbusters 2016 or Ghostbusters Answer the Call as they're doing like a digital download
of it.
So it's not getting a physical disc in the box set it's only getting a digital download
code.
Freaking good.
Like that doesn't deserve another physical copy.
So as far as I know pre-orders of this have already actually sold out.
It was...
Wait what?
I said damn.
Yeah both Best Buy and Amazon have.
I pre-ordered mine from Amazon months ago when this was first announced shocker.
100 bucks later but I feel it's worth it.
It was originally when I first pre-ordered it was like 130 bucks.
Oh shit.
Yeah but then it got marked down to 100.
So I'm like thank god.
I can more so justify 100 bucks.
But from the looks of it you actually get like a lot of cool add-ons and all that fun
stuff so I'm really excited for this box set.
Because yeah better justify.
You know what's sad is knowing me I'm probably just going to buy Ghostbusters Afterlife separately.
4k just because I don't know if I even want to open this box set.
I don't know.
I might just keep it as collector and not open it.
I mean that's fair.
Like just for collector's purposes like that's totally fair.
Okay thank you for justifying my decisions.
See I don't know if it's going to come back in the stock.
If it does I definitely recommend you guys pick it up because this looks like an awesome
set for big Ghostbusters fans.
So like you said it includes one, two, and Afterlife and then a digital download code
to Ghostbusters Answer the Call for anyone that actually likes that movie.
That was mean.
There's probably not a lot of people that like that movie.
Yeah.
At least not like true fans of Ghostbusters.
Yeah.
Like anyone who likes that has never seen another Ghostbusters.
Speaking of that if you've never seen the original Ghostbusters I'm sorry I don't think
you're human.
Yeah you're wrong.
But actually there is another new release coming out this week as well and that is Clifford
the Big Red Dog.
Did anyone actually go see this movie?
Actually did have a pretty good box office so people did.
I actually watched it the other day.
Dude me too.
It wasn't that bad.
It was I don't know it was like I mean it was bad but you know it was innocent.
I'm trying to think of like what movie I would compare it to.
It's tough because like I know exactly what formula.
Oh my gosh I can't talk about this shit.
I know what formula they followed.
I just can't like think of the name.
It kind of gave me like maybe Curious George vibes.
Oh yeah I can agree with that.
Which I know Curious George and Clifford are pretty much on the same network.
Yeah I'm pretty sure of that.
Now I know.
Dead Time Stories that's the vibe it gave me.
Yes I would absolutely agree with that.
It's really not that bad.
If you guys have Paramount Plus like check it out.
Especially if you have kids I think they'd enjoy it.
I will admit though when he like is first introduced as like a little puppy the CGI
is so bad.
It's god awful.
I mean it wasn't any worse than when he was big.
I just agree.
It just stood out more when he was small.
Okay fair enough because yeah when he's actually big it doesn't look half bad.
At least to me it didn't.
Okay you want to know why I think it stood out so much when he was small but not when
he was big?
Why?
Because I think like subconsciously you know that like what puppies look like when they're
small.
Like you have like an actual like real world comparison and so when it's not moving realistically
or it's doing like weird shit it stands out more than when he's big because when he's
big you don't have a reference for a freaking 10 foot freaking dog.
That's what you think.
But yeah it was... you've never heard of Bifford the big blue dog.
Oh shit.
But yeah it wasn't bad.
It wasn't bad but it wasn't like great either.
It wasn't the worst like children's book to movie adaptation.
It doesn't disgrace the source material.
Yeah it's just fine.
Yeah I would definitely agree with that.
That's like the biggest thing that I always ask when they adapt like a children's book
that I used to read as a kid.
It's just like okay the only thing that I ask I know this isn't for my age demographic
now but just don't disgrace the source material because Clifford was the shit when I was a
kid and I read those a lot.
I actually didn't know it was based off of a book for a really long time.
That makes me sad.
But anyway moving on.
Those are the two releases.
Moving on to through the wall we got a new...
I kind of feel like it was a surprise trailer.
It was like a surprise gameplay trailer because it felt like it came out of nowhere.
I don't feel like I saw any announcements about this or anything.
No because literally every single time I would go check to see what the release date actually
is for this game.
It was announcing like the end of this year so I was like saying December 31st 2022.
I'm like okay well you know I guess a nice birthday present to me but that sucks that
we have to wait that long.
Yeah.
I almost had a sneeze there.
Oh I was like wait was I supposed to pick up from there too?
Nope.
I didn't have anything else to say.
I just needed to take a second there.
So we got a trailer, our gameplay trailer for the skywalker or LEGO Star Wars the Skywalker
Saga and I am genuinely beyond impressed with what we got.
Yeah.
And with what we're getting.
Like holy shit.
This like I can already tell this is going to be the best LEGO game to date.
I think it's going to be like maybe a tough sell with the new gameplay.
I think that might be a little bit like hesitant but everything else looks incredible.
The graphics look incredible.
The way that we were talking about it in the past was it was always like a remastering
of all the games and then including episode 8 and 9 but this is a complete overhaul.
Like new game mechanics.
New everything.
They started from the ground up and built something awesome.
Comparing how they showcased Obi-Wan and Anakin's battle in episode 3 and this one compared
to how it was in the first LEGO Star Wars.
It's night and day.
Like oh my god.
Dude it looks so good.
Like oh my gosh.
And just the like the other mechanic, like the only mechanic that I'm kind of worried
about is what's multiplayer going to look like.
That's fair.
Yeah that's fair.
Like if they even have, actually I'm going to look that up real fast.
Like see if they even include that information.
Because I mean I won't be upset.
I'll be like a little bit bummed out if they don't have multiplayer for this.
I'd be kind of dumb considering every LEGO game before them has had a...
Yeah and that's kind of like one of those appeals about it too.
Yeah I agree.
Okay let's see the GameStop version.
Or look it up on GameStop.
It doesn't say.
That's weird.
At least not on GameStop.
Okay there is going to be a local co-op gameplay.
What's up in the air however is an online co-op.
So that actually like makes me feel a little bit better.
Yeah I agree.
But this is like super exciting.
Like they have so many different like game mechanics to this now where you unlock, where
with different characters you can unlock, like basically upgrade characters.
Give them different abilities that will help you unlock different things throughout the
game.
Everything kind of, it kind of seems more like a, I'm trying to like think of how to
like explain the gameplay.
Like it's like a better, it's more like a third person view.
But that's, I don't know how to explain it.
Like you kind of get what I'm talking about right?
No yeah I get you.
It's like imagine like any other Star Wars or LEGO Star Wars game or just any LEGO game
in general.
They kind of have like the minifigure in a third person view but it's kind of like set
far away.
In this it seems like it's like they zoomed up a little bit closer to them which seems
nice.
They have some really cool battle mechanics that I saw when it comes to like lightsabers
or blasters or any of that fun stuff.
I'm excited to see all that in action but what I'm really pumped for is the free roam
aspect.
Like did you see the free roam stuff?
Yes I did.
There were like a bunch of different planets that you can go to.
Yeah.
And when you're traveling to those planets you jump into a ship, go into like hyperspace
and like fly your way over there which I'm assuming being in hyperspace is just going
to be the loading menu.
And then when you get to that planet there's like a, I forget what the percentage chance
like but there's just some odds that you're going to end up in like a LEGO star or like
a dog fight before you're able to like enter the planet.
And so you like have to defeat all the people and then you can like fly straight down into
the planet and then it will be like you can land and everything and free roam on that
planet.
That concept is so cool.
Yeah it really is.
And did you see the freaking, or did you hear the freaking numbers of how many playable
characters there are in this?
Over 300.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
Wow.
Dude, this game is going to be massive in scale to any other Star Wars.
Like even if we had like a situation like, I don't even like, okay maybe like DC Super
Heroes 3 where you had multiple planets that you can go to but you like you only travel
in like the circle of the planet.
Even if we only had a situation like that, I hope we don't have like the circular planet
because those became really hard to navigate.
I never played LEGO Batman 3.
Yeah it was really hard.
You were flying around a globe and it became really difficult to do stuff.
Oh yeah I don't like that.
Yeah.
And they, yeah it was not good.
It was not good.
As long as we don't have that, but maybe the scale of the planets is the same where maybe
like where they just have like bigger planets that you can go explore and go do stuff like
that.
That seems way more interesting to me than anything else that they could do.
Yeah, yeah I would agree with that.
Yeah but I am excited about the possibilities of this and I haven't been into like LEGO
Star Wars games for a while.
Oh yeah dude, I mean I think I rented LEGO Star Wars 3 The Clone Wars from Blockbuster
back in the day but I never actually really bought it and played through the whole thing.
But I do remember buying both the first and second and just absolutely loving those so
I cannot wait to crack into this one.
Yeah this is going to be so freaking cool.
And the biggest thing that was announced I feel was everyone was like come on they gotta
do it, they gotta do it.
They are doing it to where you can actually turn off them doing the voiceovers and you
can bring back the old LEGO, what were they saying called?
Mumble mode.
Yeah, mumble mode.
You can bring that back and that is the greatest thing I feel.
Was it Traveller's Tales is that how it makes the LEGO games?
Yes.
I feel that is the biggest, one of the biggest gifts that they can give to LEGO fans that
have been here since the beginning.
So yeah I am so excited for LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga.
Dude this is going to be so cool.
You can play all nine stories of the movies at any, like starting with any trilogy that
you want.
I love that.
You don't have to unlock them.
Like you have to unlock the movies or like eight, nine, so you can start with one, four
and seven.
Yeah.
Yeah, but like you can choose which trilogy you start with which is great.
Yeah, I love that.
Yeah I am looking at the GameStop features right now.
They have over 300 playable characters.
You can travel to 23 different planets.
God damn.
And there are going to be more than 100 vehicles to collect.
So you can jump to light speed in the Millennium Falcon.
You can battle the First Order in X-Wings.
You can pod race on Tatooine.
Dude, like let's see.
You can also join dogfights and defeat ships like the Super Star Destroyer.
That can be boarded and explored.
Oh my god.
This is awesome.
Like this is insane, dude.
Like this is absolutely insane.
Yeah, and so if you pre-order or not pre-order.
If you purchase the Deluxe Edition of this, you get even more characters, which is just
holy shit.
You get a Mandalorian pack.
You'll get two Mandalorian packs.
One from Season 1 and one from Season 2.
You'll get Rogue One.
That's like a character pack.
You'll get a solo character pack.
You'll get the Star Wars Bad Batch character pack.
The classic characters from the original games.
That's so cool.
And then you'll get a Trooper pack.
And you're only spending 10 extra bucks for this.
It's so worth it.
Yeah, that's insane.
That's like insane.
So go pre-order, guys, if you want to.
I don't know if these will be available day one.
I know I was talking about this earlier, but it only says that the Trooper pack will have
day one access if you pre-order the game.
So I do not know if you'll get the other packs day one, but you will get them.
Either way, I'm most excited about the Rogue One and solo.
I'm excited about the Mandalorian pack.
Still need to finish that show.
Oh my gosh, dude.
Book of Boba Fett is also freaking killer.
That's what I've heard.
I heard a lot of people, well, some people weren't the biggest fan of Episode 5.
Because that's what premiered today, right?
Yeah.
Because it's kind of like just like a set up for the Mandalorian Season 3.
A little bit.
But Boba Fett kind of just like took a...
He was like, he wasn't even in the episode.
What the fuck?
Yeah, it was just, it was seriously just the Mandalorian, like all, like the entire episode.
And I'm like, okay, like I really like this show.
Like I love the show.
I feel like the show has been getting a little bit of hate, at least from what I've seen.
Because everyone's like, oh, it's super boring or it's like, it's really slow.
And I'm like, eh, but it's giving you a lot of like Star Wars culture.
And I really like that kind of stuff.
So like, I think it just adds to like a richness of characters we already are familiar with.
So that's why I really like it.
But I did not care for this episode.
I'm like, you guys could have just made this a Mandalorian, like a surprise Mandalorian
special or something.
I don't think any of us would have been mad about that.
But to throw it into the Boba Fett show and not have Boba Fett in it until like the very
end.
Like he wasn't even in it.
He was, he wasn't even in it.
He was...
When I say that like, oh, you didn't have him until the end, you did not mention the
story that we've been following until the very end.
Like the Mandalorian has been on his own freaking mission the entire time, like the entire episode.
And then the end, like he comes back to like this dock on Tatooine and comes out and he's
just like, oh, someone was asking for you.
Oh, who?
And then she like, the chick that's helping Boba Fett out comes around and she's just
like, I am.
Like Boba Fett needs your help.
And he's like, I'll be right there.
I got something to do first.
And then he's like, cool.
And then the episode ends.
Like seriously, like the last like three minutes of the show.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Like as a Mandalorian episode, freaking dope.
As a Boba Fett episode, not.
Speaking of new shows really quickly, have you watched any of a Peacemaker?
No, not yet.
Dude.
Is it good?
Oh, it's so good.
Oh, I'm excited.
So good.
Dude, I remember I was not the biggest fan of John Cena and the Suicide Squad.
Like his acting sometimes doesn't do it for me.
He's proven me wrong in this show.
He's really freaking good.
So dude, yeah, dude, check it out as soon as you can.
It's so good.
Okay.
Yeah.
I've been trying to make my way through.
Like I'm mid season on a bunch of different shows.
So I'm trying to like finish those seasons up and then like start on because I like to
just binge through everything.
Yeah, that's fair.
Because starting tomorrow, there will be five episodes of Peacemaker on.
I don't know how long the season is supposed to be.
If I remember right, I think it's supposed to be like eight.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Anyway, five episodes isn't bad.
No.
Cool.
Anyway, getting back to the Star Wars.
So far there are only two pre-order bonuses.
The first one is from GameStop and they like when you pre-order this, they'll give you
a mini X-Wing kit for like Lego.
So it's just kidding.
Can't get it because it's Lego Star Wars.
Yeah.
It's funny.
It's kind of dumb because they say it's a Poe Dameron's but they're like his iconic
X-Wing fighter from the Rise of Skywalker and it does not look like that at all.
Like it just kind of looks like your basic everyday X-Wing.
The other pre-order bonus is if you go through Best Buy, you get a steelbook cover for the
movie or for the game.
I think I'm starting to convert Caleb into at least video game steelbooks and I couldn't
be more proud.
That is the one thing that I did say.
I was like, okay, like these steelbooks are super cool, especially like I think I just
got like a really good first one.
The Guardians one, right?
Yeah.
I can't remember.
Did you like the Avengers one?
That one was just like the Avengers A, right?
Well, no.
That was if you bought the big set for the other steelbook, if you pre-ordered from Best
Buy, it was the A on the back and then it was the Avengers on the front.
I'll just send you a picture.
Yeah.
So if I'm remembering right, I do think that I really like that one too.
But I think it was just the, like this one was just a really good first one for me to
see in person because it was like a custom artwork of the Guardians and it looks sick.
So yeah, then I was kind of sold on steelbooks, but like, I don't know.
We'll see.
We'll see what happens.
But the Skywalker Saga steelbook, do you want to take a guess what it is?
Anyway, I already know what it is though.
Oh, do you?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
No, you're good.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to do that for you.
Yeah, so the steelbook is just a giant Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
Like a Lego Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
What I appreciate though is it's like Han Solo from like the original Lego Star Wars
2.
It's not how he's looking in this, the Skywalker Saga.
So.
Yeah.
Dude.
Do you remember that you were able to play as Han Solo in carbonite?
I do.
I thought that was so cool.
That was so awesome.
Anyway, I don't know what the back of this looks like, but the front is awesome.
I think the back is just literally the back of him.
I'm pretty sure.
Not even upset.
I feel it wouldn't have made sense if they would have done the back any other way.
It would just look weird to me.
Yeah, I mean, the only other thing that I think they could have done is just put the
plain Star Wars logo on the back.
That's fair.
I mean, they could always do that on the inside.
That's true.
I mean, hell, they might actually have like Star Wars on the left and then on the right
it says a long time ago on a galaxy far, far away.
Yeah.
I would actually love that.
I think that is a perfect Star Wars steelbook right there.
Wait, no, actually flip those.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
The long time ago on the left and then the Star Wars logo on the right.
Wow.
Yeah, but that's super cool.
So I'm really happy about that.
So yeah, go get the pre-orders, everyone.
Spend $75 like me and Caleb.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
My wallet still hurts.
It's worth it.
You gotta love spending money that you don't really have.
Yeah.
But at least for me, I just hadn't been paid yet.
I haven't been paid yet either.
So I did have to dip into savings a little bit for that, but it's okay.
It was worth it.
We'll see.
Dude, that freaking better be over shit.
I wonder if you can...
It better not be another Marvel's Avengers again.
Oh my gosh.
Absolutely not.
Because that game detracted me from pre-ordering games up until this game.
This was the first game I pre-ordered.
Same year, man.
Same year.
Yeah.
Same.
This is the first game I've pre-ordered since 2020.
Geez.
Alrighty.
Moving on to our last bit of news.
There's a new Netflix series coming out that looks super fun called Murderville.
This is featuring Will Arnett, and he is playing a detective named Terry Seattle, and he is
teaming up with a different celebrity guest every episode.
But the catch is, the celebrity guest does not have a script.
So we are going to get to see the legitimate acting chops of some of our favorite celebrities.
So like I said, we got Will Arnett playing Terry Seattle, and some of the guest detectives,
I guess, or assistants, are going to include Kumail Nanjiani, Annie Murphy, who most people
would recognize from Schitt's Creek.
Wait a second, I thought you said Eddie Murphy.
I'm like, wait, what?
No, Annie Murphy.
I was like, he was not in the trailer.
I would have known.
Let's see, we got Sharon Stone.
Colin Jiang, Conan O'Brien, and Marshawn Lynch.
So there's six, I think I named six.
So yeah, six episodes, six special guests, and those are all six of them.
I think I'm the most excited for Conan.
I'm most excited for Kumail.
That's fair.
I don't know.
Kumail and Ken.
Wait, what?
I said Kumail and Ken.
Ken I feel is my second, and then Kumail is my third.
But I don't know, ever since Conan ended his show, I've honestly missed seeing the guy,
so I can't wait to see him back on the big screen, not big screen, but back on my television.
The guy's very funny, so I'm excited to see his improv chops put to the test.
Dude, I'm excited because you see a lot of these celebrities breaking character.
This is just hilarious.
Dude, freaking Will R. Knight keeps adding to Conan's last name.
I think it's just like keep adding until Conan breaks.
Oh, my name's like Paul Eberstein-Aubert.
That's not even the actual name.
But yeah, literally it was just word after word after word.
It was the longest middle name I've ever heard.
Not middle name, last name.
Yeah, but this seems like a super fun show.
I felt like it was worth bringing up just because of the interesting concept.
Oh yeah, and the cast alone.
Oh yeah.
Just not giving people acting in the show a script.
This is either going to end up being really dumb and super stupid, or it's going to be
hilarious.
I'm hoping hilarious.
Yeah, I'm hoping for the latter.
I really am.
Yeah, so be sure to check that out.
That comes out on February 3rd.
Just a few days after this episode gets released.
Anyway, so I believe that is everything that we have in Through the Wall.
So with that, let's say we move on to our headliner.
Let's do it.
Alrighty for this week's headliner, we will be breaking down...
Oh shit, is this Pixar?
No, this is Disney.
We'll be breaking down Disney's newest animated movie in Kanto.
I love how he has to pause like, wait shit, is this Pixar?
Because I know if I said Pixar and it wasn't Pixar, you'd catch a world of shit for it.
I would.
And for those that want to know, this is actually Walt Disney's 60th animated picture.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's really cool.
But alright, if you guys are new to our breakdown system, we have split movies into eight different
categories that we individually score to come to a final All Bros letter grade.
And the eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development,
effects, music, costumes, and then we give it our own personal grade at the very end.
And then all of that magic gets added up together, thrown into our magical algorithm, and then
spits out a letter grade for us to compare to other movies.
So without further ado, Rose is about to spoil the entire movie for you.
So if you have not seen in Kanto, do yourself a service and go check it out.
Yeah, it is on Disney Plus.
You have no reason not to.
I mean, unless you don't have the subscription, that would be your excuse.
I mean, that's a pretty good reason.
But still, like you should have Disney Plus.
Yeah, because this movie deserves every viewing it can get because unfortunately didn't have
the biggest box office.
But from what I've been told, it's definitely making up for it on Disney Plus.
So thank goodness.
That's interesting how that works.
Yeah, right.
It's like, ooh, you mean children or people with children can watch a children's movie
at home as many times as they want, which children tend to do?
Don't say like, dude, legit, Iris is three years old.
We've already watched the movie like three or four times.
I was about I was about to ask that how many times has Iris watched in Kanto?
Yeah, she's like she what did I say?
How old did I say she was?
Three.
She is not three.
She's not even two.
Dude, how sick are you?
You don't even know your own daughter age.
I know, dude.
I'm freaking like losing it.
Apparently, COVID brain is like a real thing.
Yeah, no kidding.
And like it affects you like long after you've actually had it.
So yeah, I've just been losing my mind.
But yeah, so she is not even two yet.
And we have already watched the movie like three or four times.
It's insane.
Like shocker, Disney, that your movie did a little bit more popular during a global
pandemic.
Yeah.
All right.
So yeah, without further ado, reading with Rose, everyone.
Yes.
And I'm going to try my best to say these names how they should be said.
But if they come out weird, I apologize.
It's because you know, COVID's a bitch, but I feel it should come out OK.
All right.
Just by an armed conflict to flee her home, a young Alma Madigal loses her husband, Pedro,
but saves her triplet infant children, Julieta, Peppa and Bruno.
By a miracle, her candle attains magical qualities, blasts away their pursuers and creates a sentient
house, the casita for them to live in along with a magical hidden town bordered by tall
surrounding mountains and encanto.
Fifty years later, the candle continues to burn and the town thrives under its protection.
The candle's magic grants superhuman abilities to each Madrigal child, which they use to
serve the villagers.
However, Bruno vilified for his gift of pre-cognition disappeared 10 years earlier.
Meanwhile, Mirebelle, Julieta's youngest daughter, is treated differently for mysteriously not
having received a gift.
Peppa's youngest son, Antonio, is gifted with the ability to communicate with animals and
the family poses for a picture but neglects Mirebelle.
I don't know why.
It feels like this is kind of skipping over his whole ceremony, but OK.
Well, I mean, what would you have added to his ceremony?
I don't know.
I would have definitely added how she still lives in the nursery and with Antonio leaving,
it's literally just her now.
Everyone else has their own door.
True.
Which is very sad.
Super sad.
It's freaking depressing, dude.
This movie hits you hard in the feels.
It does.
She suddenly sees the casita cracking and the candles flame flickering, but her warnings
go unheeded when the casita appears undamaged to the others.
She resolves to save the miracle's magic.
The next day, she talks to her super strong older sister, Luisa, who suggests that Bruno's
room in a forbidden tower in the casita may hold clues to the phenomenon.
There, Mirabelle discovers a cave and recovers pieces of a slab of opaque emerald glass,
which forms an image of herself being the cause of the failing magic.
After Mirabelle narrowly escapes the cave, Luisa discovers that her gift is weakening.
After that evening, Mirabelle's oldest sister Isabella, who can make flowers grow at will,
is scheduled to become engaged to neighbor Mariano Guzman.
Mirabelle's oldest cousin Dolores, who possesses superhuman hearing, blurts out as she overheard
Mirabelle talking with her father about Bruno's vision.
The casita begins to crack again, causing everyone's powers to go haywire, ruining
the night and Mariano's proposal when Peppa inadvertently conjures a downpour.
This I kind of have a problem with, like saying that it caused everyone's powers to go haywire.
Okay, Camillo, like it only caused his powers to go crazy and Luisa's.
Like, did anyone else's powers go crazy?
Uh, Isabella's did.
Cause like the flower, like, remember the flower pops up from the ground and punches
uh, what's his name, Mariano in the face?
Okay, I'll give you that one, but did anyone else have like crazy surges?
I don't think so.
Well, yes, uh, Antonio, the, all of the, uh, animals start running out of his room.
Yeah, because he can't like communicate with him anymore.
Okay, that's true, but isn't that technically the same thing?
Like going, their power's going haywire?
I mean, that's not as going like crazy as, all right, fair enough, you got me.
All right, who else we got?
I was going to try and justify it, but I can't.
The only one that I can justify is Dolores.
Cause I don't really think that hers was that affected.
Yeah.
I mean, now she just can't hear from far away.
Isn't that really the only thing that's affected with Dolores?
Yeah, pretty much, but like, I guess she was the only one that was generally unaffected.
Yeah.
So, anyway, whatever.
Like don't listen to me.
Hey, you know, you know what?
You put up a good fight.
It wasn't even that good of a fight.
Mirabelle follows a grad.
There she encounters Bruno, who reveals that his vision of Mirabelle could have put her
at odds with the family and potentially the townsfolk who relied on the magic for their
everyday lives.
So he broke the vision and went into hiding to protect her, concealing himself within
the house walls so he could still be near them.
At Mirabelle's urging, he reluctantly conjures another vision, which shows the casitas inevitable
destruction and an image of Mirabelle embracing a young woman whom they identify as Isabella.
Mirabelle apologizes to Isabella and accidentally provokes a cathartic confession.
Isabella does not want to marry Mariano and is burdened by her image of perfection.
Mirabelle helps Isabella blossom into her true, imperfect self and they embrace seemingly
strengthening the candle and healing the cracks.
However, Alma sees the two of them with Isabella growing whatever she wants and accuses Mirabelle
of causing the family's misfortunes out of spite for not having a gift.
Mirabelle blames Alma for the immense pressure she imposes on the family.
Their rising argument creates a fissure that demolishes the casita and despite her efforts
to save it, the candle dies in Mirabelle's hands, leaving all of the Madre Nogales powerless.
While the family and several locals assess the damage, a guilt-ridden Mirabelle leaves
the town.
After a few days of fruitless search, Alma finds a tearful Mirabelle back at the river
where Pedro died.
She explains how in her determination to strengthen the magic, she ignored the toll it took on
her family and finally takes responsibility for what happened.
Finally beginning to understand her grandmother, Mirabelle tells her that despite her flaws,
she is the one who brought the family together.
As they reconcile, Bruno appears and confronts Alma but unexpectedly cheers her up with his
return.
They reunite with the Madre Nogales and the townspeople arrive to help them rebuild the
casita.
When the house is finished, the Madre Nogales give Mirabelle a gleaming doorknob with her
as well as the family's initial on it.
When she places it in the front door, the magic springs back to life restoring the casita
and all the family's gifts.
The Madre Nogales pose for another family picture with Mirabelle and Bruno included.
Nice.
I hope those accents were okay.
I tried my best.
Yeah, they were actually pretty good.
Yes!
Alrighty.
So, first up with story.
Getting into the story and whatever.
You guys know what I'm trying to say.
I felt that this was a really solid story.
I loved how they went through, how they flowed through the issues that all of the family
members were having and how every family member was having their power revolved around some
sort of burden that they were taking upon themselves.
I'm assuming the birth order for Mirabelle and her sisters was that Luisa was the oldest.
No, actually.
No?
No, Isabella is the oldest.
Interesting.
Yeah, Isabella is said that Isabella is 21, Luisa is 19, and Mirabelle is 15.
Huh.
Yeah.
Okay, I would have assumed they were a little bit older, but whatever.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Mirabelle does not look 15.
No.
Again, I probably would have gone 18, 19.
Yeah, or at least 17.
Yeah, bare minimum, I would have believed 17.
Yeah.
Whatever.
What do we know, right?
Yeah, when you tell me that she's 15 and still living in the nursery, I'm just like, yeah,
she's a child.
Yeah.
Jeez, shit.
How old was his face?
Oh, shit.
Antonio, how old was Antonio?
What's coming of age?
Age.
Let's see.
If they say anything above seven, I'm going to be-
He's five.
Five?
Yeah.
I can get behind that.
Okay, because Camillo is 15 and Dolores is 21.
Okay, that makes sense to me.
Yeah, but doesn't- I don't know, maybe it's just the way that they're drawn, but Camillo
definitely looks a lot younger than Mirabelle.
You look so much younger than Mirabelle.
We'll see how that affects anything moving forward.
But anyway, yeah, so I don't know.
I felt like the flow was really good.
Coming back to what I was saying about the birth order, it's interesting to see what
trauma the kids were taking upon themselves and how it related to their gifts.
Because at first glance, it's just like, oh, super cool abilities.
Della can make flowers grow and it just is flawless perfection and Luisa is super strong.
I think it was Dolores has the ability to control weather, but they're tied to her emotions.
No, that's Peppa.
That's Peppa.
Shit.
Which one's Dolores?
Dolores is the one that can hear.
Jeez, I need- I'm looking at the cast list right now.
I need a freaking picture.
I need like a family tree.
I'm actually looking that up and then Kento family tree.
I love it.
Okay, they have a really good one, but- It doesn't say the names.
It doesn't have the names.
Of course.
Like, shit.
Whatever, I can work with this, I think.
But anyway, I love how just at first glance, all their powers seem really helpful to the
community and seem supernatural, but when you start to deep dive into the characters
themselves, you start to begin to understand what issues they have in regards to their
abilities.
Yeah, no, I definitely- I feel that was definitely more showcased with Mirabelle and her sisters.
You didn't really get to see that a lot with- Oh my gosh, Antonio.
Oh my god.
How am I forgetting his name already?
Oh my god.
Camilo.
Wow.
So Antonio, Camilo, and Dolores.
I feel you didn't really get to see a lot from how their gifts affected how they felt
mentally.
Yeah.
Well, I guess, well, actually, wait, no, like, well, I don't know, Dolores, the only thing
that you really got to see her go through that was a struggle was that with Bruno, when
he would have these visions, she was told that the man of her dreams would always be
out of reach.
She would never be able to live happily ever after.
Yeah, but that's not really a- that wasn't really a trauma in regards to her power.
Yeah, that's true.
It's not even a trauma that they themselves have.
It's maybe even a role of the family that you can take from.
With Isabella, the golden child, the one that always feels like they have to be perfect
all the time.
And then like Louisa, Louisa is the one that takes all the family burden and carries that
with them at all times, like with super strong.
Dolores kind of just being, I don't really know how to tie her in because like her, it's
super listening.
It's honestly hard because like Maribel and her sisters all get their own song explaining
how, what their struggles are.
Whereas Felix and-
The husbands don't really get that.
Yeah, Felix and Pepa's kids do not get numbers themselves.
The only time that Camilo and- so yeah, Antonio never gets a chance to shine really in any
of the songs.
The only song that Camilo and Dolores get to shine in are We Don't Talk About Bruno.
But other than that, they don't really get a lot of chances to shine in the songs.
Yeah, but I mean, someone on TikTok pointed out that with Camilo, his ability to shape
shift is kind of playing whatever role he feels he needs to play and not really being
his true self.
Yeah.
And then like the two that I had a hard time like trying to figure out what their deal
was was Antonio and Dolores and I'm like, I don't really know what your- like for- like
I understand how like everyone in the community, how their powers help the community.
Yeah.
Or how everyone in the house, how their powers affect the community.
Like I don't know what Abuela's powers were if she had one because she had a special room
too.
But it's- so it kind of like made me feel like she has a gift, but like not knowing
what it is.
I always thought that her gift was just like being like the start of this all, like keeping
the family together, which she wasn't doing the best of the job.
Best of the job throughout the movie.
Like with Peppa.
Peppa.
Is that her name?
Peppa?
Yeah, Peppa.
Okay.
Yeah, Peppa.
Her ability to control the weather with her emotions and being able to like bring water
or bring sunshine or bring whatever to the community.
Like that makes sense.
Like that seems helpful.
Bruno's ability to like tell the future seems pretty helpful.
Shit, what's his- her mom's name?
Is that Julieta?
Yeah.
Julieta, Mirabelle's mom, being able to heal people with her food.
Like all of those make sense to helping the community.
Luisa being super strong, that like makes sense to helping the community.
But Isabella being able to grow flowers, I don't understand how that helps the community
other than making it pretty, I guess.
When you're having a bad day, I don't know.
Brighten it up with some flowers.
Antonio's ability to talk to animals.
Like I guess you could just tell the animals like, hey, don't eat these crops or whatever.
So I guess that's somewhat helpful.
Yeah.
Emilio is a little bit on the special side because shape shifting and like the things
that he was able to do was turn into like this baby's mother to like help soothe the
baby, which I'm like, I mean, it's kind of helpful.
And then when they're setting up for Antonio's party, he's able to turn into the guy that's
hanging the sign and help him finish it.
Yeah.
He could just gotten another super tall person, but whatever.
That's Dolores's super hearing.
Like what the hell does she do to help the community?
I don't know.
She can hear when the town is gossiping about the Madrigals.
I don't know.
Yeah.
So it's just some of those were just like a little funky.
But anyway.
Oh, I'm going to bring it up to while I'm like talking about it.
So apparently some of the artists on this movie were like took to Twitter or took to
social media and were basically ratting out Disney for the fit that they were throwing
over Louisa's character design.
What?
Yeah, they were like Disney was throwing a big old fit.
Like no, Louisa cannot look like that.
Like super muscly and all that.
They're like, no, like she can't.
Like we like you guys, you have to change her.
And they were so insistent, like, no, we're not changing her.
And Disney finally gave in and was like, all right, fine, whatever.
And started producing a shit ton of Isabella merch that is doing horribly because people
want Louisa merch.
Oh, that is a huge bitch slap to Disney and I love it.
I know, right?
Oh, that is amazing.
Kudos to the creators for sticking with their guns and sticking with their original character
design.
That's awesome.
But like, it's so funny because like everyone's saying like, yeah, Louisa is the most popular
character that's not Mirabelle.
Yeah, I was going to say, why would they be pushing Isabella merch when they should be
pushing the main character of this?
Yeah, well, they have Mirabelle merch.
But like what they were doing was like making a real push for Isabella and Mirabelle.
And then they just kind of like had all the other cousins off to the side a little bit.
Like basically all the other characters were off to the side, but they were doing a really
strong push for Mirabelle and Isabella, thinking that those two were going to be the most popular.
I didn't like Isabella until the end of this movie.
Do what?
I didn't like Isabella until the end of this movie.
I know, but it was just the fact that she's pretty and perfect and all that.
That's why Disney thought that she was going to be like really popular.
Yeah.
And then it ended up being Mirabelle and Louisa.
That makes me so happy.
Were like the top like merch sellers.
So Disney was like struggling to get enough Louisa merch out.
Oh, that's awesome.
I love it.
Yeah, freaking awesome.
Like I love when shit like that happens.
Just like big old middle finger to Disney.
It really is.
Like just let freaking artists do what they do.
Yeah, seriously.
Anyway, getting back to like the story.
I loved everything that you could take from this.
Like all of the the in-depth look that you can take into the characters.
And I love how the story flowed and kind of became a story of healing.
Yeah, I would agree.
At least that's how I would describe it.
Just a story of healing.
Yeah.
I mean, I loved that the story strictly kept to the Madrigal's house and the surrounding
town of it.
Mirabelle never had to venture off into the big open world to save the miracle.
It literally just stayed in this one area.
And I loved that so much.
Yeah, I love that too.
Like I was kind of afraid.
I'm like, oh, she's going to go explore the mountains of the Encanto.
But no, she just goes to freaking Bruno's room, which is like super big.
Well, because I think like in the trailer, it looks like that.
She leaves and goes to that.
But no, yeah, she just goes into Bruno's room.
That's why.
Yeah, that I loved that.
Like because it makes sense.
Like how else are you going to fix a magic house?
Like the magic is centered around this freaking house.
Like you don't leave the house.
Like I loved that.
I thought it worked so freaking well.
I thought I thought the whole thing with Bruno and not talking about Bruno and.
Like that whole gag was incredibly done.
Did you catch him like jamming out in the background?
Brielle showed it to me this morning.
I love that so much.
That was hilarious.
Oh, man.
Kudos to the animators for putting in that little detail.
That was amazing.
Yeah, but it was like this was just a really solid story that flowed really well.
How do you relate to the characters?
And you could relate with any of these characters, just depending on what family trauma you've
taken with you.
Yep.
Yeah, like it just.
It was nice to see and also seeing that.
I have to like.
It's Latin X Latin X.
However you want to say that.
The I don't know what you're talking about.
Just that representation of that culture.
Oh, OK.
I think it's the. The they them version of saying that.
OK, I'm trying to be.
Inclusive, I think that's the word.
I think you're doing a great job.
Yeah, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but.
Like that's what I think it's called.
But yeah, just that just seeing that Latin culture represented and just the Colombian
culture represented as well and like showing that there's not one color of Latin people.
Yeah, that was awesome.
Yeah, like just seeing all of those different representations, telling this amazing story
about family. Was just.
Is great to watch. It was so great to watch and it was like it was funny when it needed
to be. It didn't throw.
I felt like this could have gotten super preachy.
That's fair about like family trauma and whatnot, and I don't think that's what people need.
I think people just need to understand like, hey, just.
Like accept the people in your family for who they are.
Yeah.
So I loved this story and like I had so few issues with it.
Same here.
Where are you at?
Sitting I agree with every single thing that you said. I'm going to 95.
A 95?
Yeah.
Oh damn.
I might go a little bit lower.
Not much. I think I'm going to be at 92.
Alright.
I thought it was really good.
I think there were just like some minor.
Just some minor issues I had like very, very minor.
Like.
I'm trying to think of like improvements to the story that I would have made.
But it's hard to think of any because the story is just so well done.
I think the only reason I'm going to dock is.
I think some things might have gone on a bit longer than they needed to.
Maybe maybe more like gags than anything.
I'll give you one.
I swear I've watched this one like three or four times.
I can think of one gag that I feel it's funny.
But when you think about it you're just like that's kind of gross.
It's when they're all at the dinner table and Camilo shape shifts into the guy that's
going to propose to Isabella and does the kissy face to her and she throws the flowers
in his face.
I don't know just him I get like he transforms into that guy but still doing the kissy face
at your cousin.
I'm sorry I ain't doing no Sweet Home Alabama in Encanto.
I don't think that's like Sweet Home Alabama.
When you're really close to your cousins you kind of do give yourself give each other that
level of shit.
It's kind of like a sibling in a way.
I was never close.
Okay yeah I would do that probably with my sister but unfortunately I don't think I ever
got that close with my cousins.
Yeah like that's the situation because they all live together.
Like it's hard to I feel like it would be really hard to not feel that sibling like
relationship.
That's okay you know fair enough.
So I think that's the that's what I got out of it.
I'm like okay it's just a bunch of kids living together and this really immature one being
like eww.
Alright I withdraw my not skepticism but my I don't know whatever the hell I'm just going
to call it.
If I'm docking for anything it's just how every how it seemed like they were saying
like oh the family helps the community with their gifts and I'm like okay but some of
these abilities don't really help the community.
Like Dolores is like she was treated like any other member of the family but her what
how was her gift helping the community?
Literally all it can help with is eavesdropping.
Yeah that's exactly what it was.
It didn't help with like shit.
Yeah like unless she was just like oh I can hear people coming from outside the Encanto
or whatever.
But even then it's just like okay what use does that do?
So I think that's like the biggest one.
That's fair.
If that was like the goal of the magic to help the community.
Because that's kind of what Abuela made it seem like it was going to be.
Yeah that's.
So yeah.
If anything that's why I'd be docking and just the occasional slow parts.
But other than that like it was a really solid story.
But that brings us to a 93.5.
Moving on over to writing.
I feel this was really well written.
I feel this was just as strong as the story.
I wouldn't quite go that far.
Oh damn.
We're going to be throwing some fists here guys.
I'm just kidding.
Gosh I have like that sickness brain so it's hard for me to like think.
I'm having that and I literally watched this movie.
I finished not finished but I was watching this movie like 30 minutes before we started
recording.
I know I freaking watched it this morning.
But it's just like at the end I was just like this is great.
It's a great movie.
I know I need to stop watching the movies like right before because I have such a bias
opinion or I feel like I have a stronger bias to fight against.
Especially when it's a good movie like this.
I feel like if I leave it and let it set for a couple days and really absorb it I can come
up with shit to bitch about.
But it's so hard to with this one.
I watched this for the first time like two weeks ago and even from then to here I still
struggle to find things to bitch about because it's a pretty rock solid story.
Yeah like I think my biggest issue with the writing was kind of when Louisa was losing
her powers and just like constantly crying.
I thought it was funny.
It was funny but I think it just went on a little too long.
Like for someone who is playing this role of the strong person in the family and just
constantly having these emotional breakdowns was just a bit much.
Like when she's asked to get the piano and she's already crying at the table I feel it
would have probably been maybe a little better if she doesn't start crying until she can
barely even move the piano and then she starts bawling.
Yeah like give us that build up.
The constant crying was a lot.
It's funny.
Yeah it was really funny and then I think another one that I had an issue with was,
this was actually part of the song, We Don't Talk About Bruno.
It wasn't until Isabella was introduced and then she's coming down talking about what
Bruno said her life would be, comes down to the ground and then she stands up and then
tells Mirabelle like shut up.
Like I don't want to hear anything out of you.
I tried looking at the lyrics because I had subtitles on but I'm like what the hell did
that have to do with anything?
Like oh because she's saying I don't want to sound out to you because it's the night
of her proposal.
Yeah but that's not what they were talking about.
Well yeah but that was kind of working into it because they're just like oh you know I
think the next part is Camilo saying oh hey your boyfriend's here and then it leads into
the dinner scene.
I think that's why.
Hold on I need a little...
I'm looking up the freaking lyrics.
Well that is less than helpful.
I freaking googled, what the shit, I googled the We Don't Talk About Bruno, the lyrics
and it's in Roman.
What the hell?
Oh okay.
What the hell is that?
Alright here we go, here's an English version.
Okay so this is how it goes.
So it says like he told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be
mine he told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine.
And then yeah then what's his face says Mariano's on his way.
Then Dolores he told me that the man of my dreams would be just out of reach betrothed
to another.
It's like I hear him now Isabel I want not a sound out of you.
And then that's it and then the rest of it's like then the rest of the song is about Bruno.
Like there's no good reason for...
I... shit is there a good reason?
I mean I feel that there is but...
I don't know I felt like that just seemed like super bitchy and came out of nowhere.
I mean yeah but she was already coming across as bitchy to Mirabelle.
So I don't know that line did not feel out of character at all.
I think confession was a bit much too because like she was just saying like telling Mirabelle
like you're ruining my life like freaking how?
Like we haven't seen like I at least didn't unless I'm like completely spacing this.
I don't recall Mirabelle directly affecting Isabella in any way.
Like I don't feel like there was anything that like Isabella was trying to do that Mirabelle
just like just ruined like on accident or otherwise.
None that I can think of off the top of my head.
Other than like...
Like yeah there was like nothing that like directly affected her and it felt like Isabella
had such anger and aggression towards Mirabelle when nothing she's done has like affected
her in any way.
It's always kind of just affected the whole family and so I feel like the whole family
kind of has like a little bit of a bitterness but Isabella just kind of has like extra towards
Mirabelle.
I think it's because of her being built up to having to always be perfect and Mirabelle
kind of getting in the way of that in that situation of her you know ruining her proposal
and all that stuff.
She's just like hey I'm trying to... But this was like pre-proposal.
So like I understand like the aggression after.
Yeah.
It's just before it feels like there is very strong aggression towards Mirabelle that I
don't feel is quite deserved or at least if it is deserved we don't see a good reason
for why.
I mean it might just be because I don't know and like you said yeah it's not showing and
it's not earned with how Isabella is you know perfect.
She can you know create flowers at will whereas you know Mirabelle never got a power so she
always thought that she was better than Mirabelle.
So whenever she got in her way she's just like you know get out of here.
She was kind of the bitchy big sister.
Maybe.
Gosh I'm going to have to watch this movie again aren't I?
I think you do.
I mean I got to watch it again too and no problems with that.
Yeah.
But for me it was like that was a lot of the problem and for a family that was super hard
about doing service for the community it felt like they were really trying to exclude Mirabelle
from helping the community.
I don't know if that was the whole family's decision.
It felt like it was more so Abuela not right?
Abuela?
You feel like it was just like her?
I don't know it kind of really felt like that but I don't know at the same time like Felix's
family never really reached out to see if hey you know Mirabelle can you help us with
this and even Mirabelle's parents really didn't reach out and be like.
And I feel it was kind of like they were not like under Abuela's spell but they felt if
they stepped out of line and tried to involve Mirabelle in some way then Abuela would just
be like well she doesn't have a power so she can't help in that way.
It all goes back to Abuela.
Yeah a lot of people were like just because I love how much you can like tear apart this
movie just to like hyper analyze it someone released like a TikTok discussing the roles
in a toxic household that each of the Encanto characters play and they were classifying
Abuela as the abuser.
So like that completely makes sense for what you just said.
Like if you classify Abuela as the abuser in this household and everyone in the household
is not wanting to upset Abuela it would make sense that they kind of push Mirabelle off
to the side because of Abuela's feelings about Mirabelle.
I do appreciate though throughout well not throughout but there are moments when her
parents actually like step up to Abuela and say you've always been too hard on her.
I loved those parts where Mirabelle's parents actually stood up for her.
Yeah I loved that like when her especially like her dad like her dad seemed completely
unfazed that she had a Bruno vision.
Yeah seriously or at least that particular vision and he's just like looks at it doesn't
even like have a oh my gosh like what is this he's just like freaking hide it like we cannot
deal with this right now.
Which I love that about the dad.
Yeah I loved how when Abuela was just like why didn't you tell me about what was happening
and he actually just like stands up he's like I was doing what was best for my daughter.
Yeah like that was a great father moment right there.
That was an amazing father moment.
Like so good.
Like so freaking good.
Like yeah it's like I don't know like I feel like his allegiance would be to his family
his daughter like he doesn't give a shit about what the like what anyone else thinks like
if it's going to affect his daughters like he's not going to have it and I love that.
Like this is freaking great.
Just like the deep analysis you can go on this like talking about like the traumas that
everyone represents the role in the toxic household that everyone represents or just
like a bunch of different like aspects that you can look into this movie about is so interesting
and the like just the overall writing of this was I feel was really well crafted.
There was maybe a few lines here and there that I felt were a little bit wasted.
And I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the lines that were in some of the songs not all
of them but just like here and there.
Interesting okay.
Yeah so that's what I'm kind of including the songs here just the lyrics of the songs
in on the writing.
Oh for me then it's a hundred.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
But yeah for me personally I think I'm going to go an 88 for the writing.
Okay.
Just with all the little minor issues that I had.
I will agree with you.
You've definitely talked me down a little bit.
The writing does it is a little worse than the story but not by much.
So I'm going to go a 91.
Nice.
Alright moving on over to acting we have Stephanie Beatrice who played or who voiced Mirabelle.
Maria Cecilia Botero who voiced Abuela.
John Leguizamo who voiced Bruno.
Mauro Castillo who voiced Felix.
Jessica Darrow who voiced Luisa.
Angie Cepeda who voiced Julieta.
Carolina Gaitan who voiced Peppa.
Diane Guerrero who voiced Isabella.
Wilmer Valderrama who voiced Augustine.
Renzi Feliz who voiced Camillo.
Ravi Kabat-Kon-Konyers who voiced Antonio.
Adasa who voiced Dolores.
Maluma who voiced Mariano.
Oh wait.
I didn't mean to include him.
My bad.
Anyways that is the entire Madrigal family.
Anyway alright top three.
Number one I definitely got to give it to Mirabelle.
Amazing.
Great.
Wonderful job.
Number two I would actually give it to Felix.
I thought his voice actor did an amazing job.
I thought he did an amazing job.
Interesting pick.
I loved his character.
He was also a really good dad.
I feel both of the dads in this movie were really good.
They were amazing.
I love their dynamic in the family considering that they don't have abilities.
This is maybe another reason why I feel like Mirabelle not having powers and the way that
she was treated felt so off because Felix and Augustine they didn't have powers.
I don't feel like they were treated like lesser family members.
I'm wondering if it's just like Abuela not feeling like they're part of the group.
I'd love to dive into Abuela's relationship with them.
I think the way that it goes with that is Abuela knows that hey they just married into
the family so of course there's no way that they were going to have powers whereas Mirabelle
is an actual born daughter into the family.
She is the daughter of Julieta so she should be able to have an ability.
You are absolutely correct.
Okay I can see that.
I can definitely see that.
That's just the way that I look at it.
I can definitely get behind that concept.
One thing I'm sorry this is like totally side note.
I'm wondering how dynamically the bloodline works.
It's interesting because the first generation of people with powers was Bruno and his two
sisters.
Bruno was unmarried.
So his two sisters were the ones that gave birth to the children with abilities.
So I'm wondering how would that work if Bruno got married and had kids?
Would his kids be granted an ability?
Because his wife wouldn't have an ability or wouldn't be given one.
So would she be able to give birth to a child that doesn't have or that would she be able
to give birth to a child that has an ability or that doesn't have an ability?
It's interesting because we know how it works with the women but we don't know how it works
with the men because their wives don't have an ability.
It's interesting.
Ideas for Encanto 2.
That was just something I was thinking about.
Would Bruno's kids be able to get abilities?
They'd still be part of the family tree.
It's just I don't know how that would work.
Anyway, sorry.
Who's your other pick for your top three?
That's hard.
I had those two locked in.
I give it to Bruno.
John Loquazamo.
Yeah, that's a really good pick.
What's funny about that is I think it was said that Lin-Manuel Miranda really wrote
the character of Bruno for him to voice him but then Disney decided, oh no, we're going
to have John Loquazamo voice him.
What?
Why?
I don't know.
I think Lin-Manuel Miranda's bitter about that.
I'll be 100% real.
I did not know that going into it the first time, I did not know that John Loquazamo voiced
Bruno.
I assumed it was going to be Lin-Manuel but then when he was talking, I was like, that
doesn't sound like him.
The voice doesn't match.
Like John's voice does not match Bruno's face.
That's fair.
I thought for the most part it did, at least to me, but I feel that Lin-Manuel Miranda's
face probably, or not face, oh my God, voice probably would have worked better.
Yeah, actually someone who does a really solid impersonation of Lin-Manuel, I think he's
actually did a deep cut of Bruno's song.
Oh, that's awesome.
And actually did the whole song in character as Lin-Manuel and it actually sounded way
better.
Oh, shut up.
I'll have to send it to you when we're done, if I can find it again.
But that was my big complaint with it when he was singing.
Because I thought it was going to be Lin-Manuel and so I think that's maybe where I got thrown
off because I was expecting him.
Yeah, as was I.
But why would Disney freaking do that?
You're just paying, like, nothing against John Leguizamo, but you're paying for the
name.
Yeah, I think that's the point.
They wanted a big name that they could slap on the poster probably.
Dude, freaking why?
I don't know.
Like if you, I feel like Lin-Manuel's a better selling point than John Leguizamo.
What?
Sid from Ice Age isn't a huge selling point?
Well, he plays Sid, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's just like, what's the last thing, okay, I'm going to look up his IMDB, but what
was the last thing you remember seeing John Leguizamo in?
Besides Ice Age?
Besides Ice Age.
In the Super Mario Brothers movie?
Yeah, exactly!
All right, let's see.
Like what's the, okay.
Encanto.
So let's see, what's like the last thing that everyone would have seen?
He did a voice in The Mandalorian?
Oh, okay.
In one episode?
So I'm probably not going to count that.
John Wick Chapter 2, he was in that.
I've never seen any of the John Wick movies, so.
And then before that was Ice Age.
So he hasn't been in like anything that we would have seen since 2016.
God damn.
But Lin-Manuel Miranda on the other hand, like I'm going to look up his IMDB and see
how far back we could go with him.
Like how far back he's worked on stuff.
I mean, the biggest thing that I remember him like actually like being a per, you know,
playing an actual role in and not, you know, like writing the music and stuff was definitely
in the Heights because he plays like the Pete Agua man, I think that's his name.
And then also Mary Poppins Returns when he played Jack.
Yep.
And he was really good in that movie and I hate that that movie didn't do better.
Yeah, so he did a voice in in Vivo, that animated movie.
I don't know what the hell that is.
It's one on Netflix.
Not a bad movie.
Oh, OK.
The music's pretty freaking killer.
Yeah, Vivo.
Then In the Heights.
Hamilton.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Yeah, Mary Poppins Returns.
So yeah, and that's pretty recent.
Like even frickin Mary Poppins Returns.
Like that was back in 2018.
So yeah, he's a lot more recent and he's like a huge name in the music industry right now.
Or at least the music for a while.
Yeah.
So it's like, like personally for a musical, like this is a bigger Lin-Manuel is a bigger
name than John Liguizamo when it comes to a musical.
So Disney screwed up.
Not saying John Liguizamo did a bad job, because I think he did a great job.
And he's actually my number three as well.
Awesome.
Yeah, my number one, I think, frickin duh is Mirabelle.
Yeah, she was so good.
Yeah, Stephanie Beatrice did an amazing job.
And it's so weird to think that that she voiced and did the singing for Mirabelle.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Yeah, because like, have you ever watched Brooklyn Nine-Nine?
No.
So she plays this character, Rosa, and she is like the most monotone character of that
entire show.
Like she talks with like a super deep voice and like very monotone, doesn't put any inflection
in her voice or anything.
So it's so interesting to see her in like, in Kanto for one, where she's like having
to put in like a bunch of like inflection in her voice and like being hyper and yeah,
just putting like a bunch of enthusiasm behind her voice and even singing like this blew
my mind.
I was like, okay, they probably just did like a Mulan thing and got someone to sing for
her.
No, she frickin did the singing.
Like, it's so weird.
It is so frickin weird.
But yeah, she did an amazing job.
Just blew me away.
My number two is I'm actually going to give to Louisa.
I love it.
Yeah, I love it.
There was like a big moment where she was being like interrogated by Mirabelle.
That was like, I was almost a little concerned that they got Amanda voice.
Voice her?
Because she's just like, no, and I'm like, okay, milderoid rage.
Yeah, I thought she did an amazing job with everything.
Even though I thought the crying was a bit excessive, she did like an amazing singer.
Like she did a great job on the song and just played the character really well.
Yeah, she really did.
Like she was like, for me, the top character, she was great, other than Mirabelle.
So yeah, she's like a really close number two.
And then my number three is Bruno.
I like it.
Overall, what are you putting everyone else's score?
I feel everyone else did an amazing job.
I really don't have any problems with any of the other people.
I'm assuming it's a kid voice actor that did the voice of Antonio.
I think he did a great job as well.
His I had mild issues with.
It's just like child performer issues.
I thought he did a really good job.
Especially that scene where Mirabelle and Antonio are under the bed and they have that
like moment together.
I feel for being a little kid.
I don't know if that really is a little kid.
I feel that they got a really good, they did a really good job getting the emotional, that
emotional scene.
I'm butchering this so badly.
Oh my God.
F you COVID, you mess with my brain.
They implemented the emotions very well in that scene.
I don't know if that made sense, but I'm going with it.
For me personally, I'm at maybe an 87 overall with acting.
I think some of the extras I had issues with and then Antonio was one.
I had some issues with his performance and it was just like the emotional scene under
the bed was really good.
But it was when he suddenly appeared in Bruno's space and was talking about basically saying
the rats told me everything.
For some reason, I just didn't feel his performance as strongly in that.
I don't know what the issue was there, but it was just like brought it down a little
bit and then everyone else I think was just pretty average.
Wasn't like blowing me away by any means, but the top three that I chose were amazing.
That's how I feel about my top three.
I think 87 is being pretty fair.
You're going to hate me because I'm going to go a 98.
I'm just kidding, I'm going to go a 90.
Holy shit.
We haven't differed like that in a while.
That averages us out to an 88.5.
Moving on over to character development.
I think we both agree we're going to be talking about Mirabelle.
I thought we were doing Bruno.
I'm just kidding.
I feel like this one's tough because I feel like you could do the Madrigals as a whole.
That's fair.
Or even Abuela.
Yeah, but I feel like Mirabelle.
I feel like Mirabelle was pretty consistent like character wise throughout.
She always had this hope that things could get better with her family.
She was trying to save the magic.
She was trying to do her part to save the family even when her family was kind of casting
a shadow upon her.
You know what was the funniest shit that I saw in a TikTok?
The song when she points out how she doesn't have a power.
Someone pointed out, bullshit, she doesn't have a power.
She's able to slow down time when they're taking the picture.
How is no one noticing this?
Fair enough.
Kind of the same situation we had with Jasmine in the Aladdin remake.
Yeah that's true.
Anyway.
I definitely agree with you.
I loved watching her character development going from how...
It isn't showcased until...
I actually love that they didn't showcase right at the beginning that she didn't get
a power.
Literally as she's reaching for the doorknob, the title appears.
It's not until you're literally through the first song that you find out that she did
not get a gift.
Just watching her throughout this whole movie, realizing that even though I didn't get a
gift, I can still attribute to this family.
Even though it seems like I get cast aside sometimes, I still love this family.
I loved watching her grow throughout this movie.
It was so, so good.
It was kind of hard watching her trying to put forth this effort to be a part of the
family when the family didn't really seem to share or didn't seem to put forth any
efforts towards her.
Her mom did, just trying to relate to her, but she was still doing her own thing.
The only cousin I feel that...
Not even her sisters reached out.
It was more so even her cousin.
It was more so her cousin Antonio when he says, I wish that you had a door.
Yeah.
That was...
That was a sweet moment.
That was a really sweet moment.
You understand that too because they've been sharing a room for the past however long Antonio's
been in that room.
Yeah.
I don't know when they stopped sleeping or how long the kid sleeps in their mom's room
and then has moved into the nursery.
I don't know.
Yeah.
If they do that.
Yeah.
I don't know the whole story with the Maldegals.
Yeah.
Like she's putting...
Like I said, she's putting forth all this effort and getting very little love in return.
And then she goes forth to sit...
She sits out on this mission to discover what's going on with the magic because her family
is more or less ignoring the problem.
And so seeing her struggle with that was really great.
And this is kind of why I would even consider doing the Maldegals as a whole or even Abuela.
But it's just...
You kind of see her mirabelles, highs and lows when it comes to discovering the issues
with the magic and everything.
And it's really, really nice to see that.
I don't feel like you see too often characters struggle with an internal battle or not even...
Not internal.
I feel like you...
Oh, geez.
Freaking real...
Are you okay?
Real hard discussion.
Discussing this.
I don't feel like you see very often characters dealing with outer struggles too much when
it comes to outside relationships.
So I consider part of Mirabelle's development to be her relationship with her family and
how it goes from being kind of good to completely awful.
And then just from that and then building to greatness when they figure out the whole
magic situation and discovering that, like, hey, we don't need this magic because we're
family.
And honestly, I feel it was never really bad with any of the others.
It was really with Abuela that there was bad blood towards the end.
Yeah, but I feel like Abuela was kind of...
Like I said, if you consider who they are in the roles of a toxic household or a toxic
family, she is the abuser.
So she is the one that's heading up all of these people's, all of the other family members'
negative feelings towards Mirabelle.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, you got a point there.
I forgot about that.
I feel like there's a lot of maybe side comments from Abuela or just the way that Abuela seems
to exclude Mirabelle.
Yeah.
I think she's like, oh, like she tries to include her, like, oh, could you help with
this?
Could you help with that?
And then once Mirabelle makes a mistake with that, she's just like, okay, whatever.
Like I'll get someone else to do it.
And so I feel like the family...
Like how could the family not pick up on that?
Okay, yeah, that's a good point.
But that's the kind of like situation that I was like reading into.
And I felt that that was really impactful.
Yeah, yeah, I would agree with that.
Yeah, so I really dug her development and the relationship, seeing how that evolved
throughout this movie and seeing like the little ways that it began to evolve, like
starting out with Louisa and seeing basically getting that confession from Louisa and understanding
what pressures she's under as the strong member of the family, and then basically giving Louisa
permission to like not be strong.
And just like, it was nice seeing that like that relief that Louisa had and then that
relationship kind of got better in a way.
And then like having to do the same thing with Isabelle and having to deal with like
this perfect sister and understand, like kind of learning her struggles and getting that
confession out of her.
And like it was just like all of that going along and like how bad her relationship with
her family got.
Like I just I loved watching that.
And it was also just because they built it up so nice and strong.
And I think that one song at the end was really powerful and just kind of like hit the development
like right on the nose talking about like, oh, we just need a new foundation.
So it's just like, yes, that's exactly what you need.
And then building off of that and becoming like the family that they like needed.
Yeah.
So I love that.
And I'm having a real hard time docking for anything.
On a for me personally, character development, I would give a 93.
I will actually agree with you on that.
That's a really solid score for for character development.
Hell yeah.
Sweet.
All right.
Next up, we got effects, which for this movie is the animation.
Beautiful.
It really was.
It was.
It was gorgeous.
They did such an amazing job.
Like it kind of had Coco vibes.
And I know I know Coco was Pixar.
I do, but I'm not even going to argue you on that one because I absolutely agree with
you.
Yeah, they did just they did such a good job.
Like this didn't feel like the classic Disney.
It didn't have like a classic Disney look to it.
Like they had more caricature like figures like these characters didn't feel like the
the base models for like Tangled or Frozen.
Like this felt like a very different animation style.
And so, like I said, feels a little bit more like Pixar than than Disney in like the best
possible way.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Their visuals were just incredible.
And they were able to hit everything on the head.
Like they hit the intense just gut punching moments super well with like all the like
the dark imagery that we see and the things that were led to believe and understand.
And like, yeah, and then just the incanto in in general looked beautiful.
The way the doors lit up.
Oh, my God.
So beautiful.
Yeah.
And, dude, that is a hard freaking effect to to do.
Like to get it right.
Like I tried I worked on it for like half an hour.
Like the episode art, like if you guys can see it, like go on our like Facebook or Instagram
or whatever.
Like it was a chore to get the door to light up the way that it did.
It's so beautiful, guys.
Caleb deserves a frickin award for what he was able to pull off.
Yeah, you're damn right.
Look frickin awesome.
I will admit, though, I appreciate you making me look a lot skinnier in our door.
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
Well, I did the like that one was like was kind of weird for me to do.
Why?
Because I had to try and find like a character builder.
Oh, OK.
And I'm like because I'm I was trying to find like a Disney character finder and then do
the drawings by hand.
But yeah, it was it was it was hard.
Like that was honestly the best I could do.
I'm just like, whatever, I'll just throw glasses on you and a different hairstyle and call
it good.
Dude, you did a great job.
It looks amazing.
Yeah, I guess it looks like similar enough or you could like tell it's us.
Yeah, no, no, and I agree.
I guess it's a good thing that one of us always wears glasses, so it's easy to distinguish
us.
Yeah, I only need them for night driving.
Yeah.
Whereas I need them 24 7, except for when I'm sleeping.
Otherwise, I'm left.
Oh.
But yeah, like.
Animation wise, like everything looked.
Really good.
Dude, especially I freaking loved Camillo's, Camillo's transitions, especially in We Don't
Talk About Bruno, how he kept transitioning to Bruno back to him.
Animation and that was spectacular.
It looked so good.
Like his shape shifting was interesting because it always seemed to have like a pop to it.
Yeah.
Like, unless you've seen it, like that's the best way that I can think to describe it.
It always felt like it had like a pop, but.
In like a really interesting way, like whenever he would like shrink down.
It would like snap to place and whenever he would change, it would like again snap and
that like a very, very interesting take on on the.
The transformation.
I'll say this.
The one thing I didn't like about his transformation is when Dolores was whispering the secret about
Bruno's vision.
Yeah.
And his face kind of went like crazy.
Like I'm like, oh, OK, so you can like morph your face.
It was kind of, and I hate to say this or even bring this movie up, but remember the
kid who can make like funny faces or morph his face from We Can Be Heroes?
Don't you dare bring you son of a bitch.
That's the kind of vibe I got.
I'm just like, he's a shape shifter.
He's not like.
Polymorphic.
I think that's the right word.
I mean, I don't know the way that I look at it.
Maybe as he was changing, I don't know, like the face of another person got stuck onto
his face or so.
I don't know.
I'm trying to make it sound better than him comparing it to We Can Be Heroes because that
movie is a piece of shit.
It is.
I don't like someone relating Encanto to that.
I didn't feel good about it, but it had to happen.
So yeah, I didn't.
I don't know what else to compare it to.
All right.
OK, that's like that's the vibe I got.
I'm like, OK, if his face would just morphed into someone else's face or if he just like
kept switching to someone else's face, like that would have made sense.
But his face kind of completely going to like jelly just was odd.
Not choices, but OK.
I mean, not one I'm going to dock super hard for.
I love that super hard.
I'm trying to think, like.
I wish we would have gotten to see more rooms.
Yeah, I would have loved to see in Peppa's room.
Yeah.
Or like we got to see Antonio's room, which was awesome.
Yeah, it was just like a big massive tree.
And then Isabella's room we got to see.
And then we got to see like the nursery that that Mirabelle was staying in.
We got to see Julieta's room because it was basically just a kitchen.
Was that her room?
I thought that was just the kitchen.
Yeah, I think that was just the kitchen.
Don't listen to me.
I'm like, that's kind of messed up.
It's like, oh, OK, I get it, Mom.
I'm just a slave of cooking food now.
OK.
Yeah, but that's like one thing I wish that we would have gotten to see.
And I think.
Like we said, too, like I really appreciated not going too far outside of the house.
And just kind of keeping the story like it still felt like very grand in scale.
Oh, yeah.
But also just very tight, like it was all in one place.
Like it wasn't some like grand adventure, but it was just all kind of in the house,
which I love that.
Like I think that some movies might get distracted by being like, oh, we need to make this like
a massive scaled movie.
But I think they did really good at sticking within the house and whenever they went into
town.
Yes.
But everything looked beautiful.
So.
Shit, I might be in the 90s with this one, too.
I'm going to go a solid 95.
I think I'm going to go down to a 93.
OK.
Just because of the issues that I like I brought up.
No, no, that's understandable.
All right.
Next up, we got music, which.
I am going to have a very unpopular opinion here.
I think he's going to.
OK, this is a personal opinion.
OK, my score, I'm just going to come out right now and say it.
My score for this is is 10.
Oh, OK.
Phew.
That being said, personally, I did not care for this.
For the music in this movie.
I do not.
OK, I.
It looks like I just stabbed Rose in the heart.
He did.
Oh my God.
I. Like there were definitely some catchy tunes, but none of them were ones that I like
care to listen to over and over again.
Do you know how many times we don't talk about Bruno has been on repeat on my Spotify shuffle?
Yeah, do you?
So like that's been the same with Brielle.
She plays.
We don't talk about Bruno and she plays the Louisa's song.
Yeah, yeah.
Brielle's got good taste.
Yeah.
And like I know that they're good songs.
I just don't like them.
Like they're just not what I listen.
They're not like what I choose to listen to.
And the reason I'm giving the music a 10, regardless of my feelings towards the soundtrack,
is because.
They had.
Multiple songs that can get stuck in your head.
Yeah, and that's like that's exactly what I'm looking for in music and all the music
fit really well with the movie.
It's just I. I just didn't care for it.
And it's because I'm not the biggest fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda's style of music when he
does musicals.
Like it felt very rappy at times and I cannot stand rap.
And it's because I don't understand it and I'm like super hard of hearing.
Or at least it feels that way.
Like I can read along with rap.
OK.
If I'm just like listening to it, I do not.
If you were to play like one verse of someone rapping at a normal rapping speed, not doing
it like super slow.
And you're just like, all right, here, just as normal speed rapping, I could not tell
you a single word that that they said.
So even like Eminem.
Like yeah, Eminem's one.
I cannot listen to their music without like subtitles.
Now see, I can understand that.
I understand.
Like it is like someone at work was playing this rap song and they're like, dude, listen
to these to these.
What is what's the term he used?
Oh, bars.
He's like, dude, you got to listen to these bars.
You got to listen to these bars.
And so he played it for me and I'm sitting there like working and I'm like, he's like,
dude, you freaking hear that?
You freaking hear that?
And I'm like, no.
And he's like, all right, come back here.
Come over here and like listen to it, like truly listen to it, man.
And so I like sat with my head in front of the freaking speaker and he played it again
and he's like, dude, freaking bars.
Right.
And I don't know what that means and I don't know what he said.
And then he's like, seems to be speaking words of some kind.
Yeah.
And so he like seriously grabbed his phone, looked up the lyrics and like put them in
front of me and then like played the song and I was like, oh, okay.
Like yeah, this is pretty good.
I mean, I guess.
Weird times to show her, I guess.
Yeah, I know.
But no, like I had to be reading it.
That's funny.
Because he tried playing it back twice.
Like once while I was working, it's kind of like somewhat distracted.
And then twice while I was like right up next to the speaker.
And then like the fourth time he's just like, just read it.
I'm like, okay.
And then I was able to like catch some of the stuff and I'm like, okay, that's pretty
good.
And then he's like, you've freaking ruined it.
Oh, that's funny.
That is amazing.
Yeah.
But that's like the same thing with like with TikToks.
DJ will send to me if someone's rapping and they don't and it doesn't have subtitles.
Like I have no idea what they said.
Like at all.
Luckily, he's more often than not, he will send me ones with subtitles.
So okay, I appreciate that, DJ.
That's good.
But anyway, yeah, so personally, if I were to give this a personal score and you're going
to hate me, I give this a seven.
I fully understand what this soundtrack is and how amazing it is for this movie, what
they were trying to pull off.
And it has a couple catchy songs in it, which you can't ask for anything more than that.
Considering how popular and how many like, did you hear like how popular We Don't Talk
About Bruno is?
No.
It's been downloaded slash listened to more times than Let It Go.
Holy shit.
Yeah, it's Disney's top earning song since the 90s.
Holy balls.
Yeah.
So I'm going to be very surprised if this doesn't win for best original song at the
Oscars.
Uh, yeah.
Because it I mean, one, it deserves to win.
And two, like, yeah, just look at the listen to those numbers.
That's just insane.
I didn't think a song could beat Let It Go, but we don't talk about Bruno did.
Yeah, dude, if they if that doesn't even get like a nomination at the Oscars, like the
Oscars are just like completely dead to me.
Dude, same here.
If not, if not one song from Encanto gets nominated.
Yeah, the Oscars are just dead to me.
Yeah, that's that.
Well, if it's if it's we don't listen or we don't talk about Bruno.
Like that will like be the deciding factor, because I feel like they could also do Luis's
song because that one's pretty catchy.
But yeah, I would agree with that.
I feel also even the last song they could do.
I think that one's really good as well.
Yeah, that one was really good.
Like it was like all in Spanish, which I appreciated.
But I love that they put up Spanish subtitles.
Yeah.
Oh, I was not Spanish English subtitles so we can like understand what they were saying
in English like I love that.
I agree with that one, too.
Sorry, I was talking about the one where they're rebuilding the house.
Oh, yeah, that's that was a good one, too.
Sorry.
They had a lot of good songs like they had a good one after.
Personally, I did not care for them.
Understandable.
Yeah, so anyone who wants to like come at us and try and say like, oh, you can't completely
get rid of bias, freaking bet.
I did not like this soundtrack as much as most people do, and I still gave it a 10 because
it freaking deserves it.
That's why I love this guy.
All right, next up, we got costumes, which honestly, I feel we can do for this one.
Yeah, because like everyone's costumes were like amazing.
They were.
Dude, I love that Felix matched with his wife, Peppa, with them both wearing yellow.
That was so sweet.
Yeah, that was like that was awesome.
I loved how like just a small little details that you could see in like everyone's outfit.
Do you see like how when Mirabelle first puts on her skirt and then she throws that bag
over her and you can see that her name is like stitched throughout the bag?
Yeah.
And then like, Louisa, like around her skirt, like the kind of like the lower portion of
her skirt, it's all weights.
Yeah.
And then Isabelle has like just flowers going down her skirt.
I think someone was saying Dolores, she kind of had like sound waves on her dress.
I know Peppa, Peppa, Pepe.
Is it Peppa?
They have Peppa, right?
Yeah.
Her earrings are sundials.
That's cool.
And then she just had like a bunch of like sun and like different weather patterns on
her dress.
Yeah.
And then Camillo, he has chameleons on his shirt.
That is so cool.
Oh my God, the attention to detail.
Yeah, like just freaking love it.
Just like just the little Easter eggs like that, like are so good.
That is aw.
And then I'm sure Antonio had like animals and shit on his clothes.
Yeah, I'm sure he did.
But it's just like just those little details are just like so effective in an animated
movie.
Like these are characters with a very distinct silhouette.
Yes.
I was thinking of the word.
But yeah, like Mirabelle has a very distinct silhouette.
Most of the Madrigals have a very like distinct silhouette.
Like I think Dolores has one.
Luisa, Mirabelle for sure.
I'd even give one to like Abuela.
Maybe like Felix and Peppa.
They have like them together have a very distinct silhouette.
I think the ones that are a little bit more generic are like maybe Bruno and Giulietta
and Augustine.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
Yeah, theirs is a bit more on that general side, but I think everyone else like freaking
look amazing.
And just like the attention to detail on all their dresses or their shirts or whatever.
Like the freaking design team killed it.
Yeah, they really did.
This amazing.
Yeah, I think personally, it's just because of the three like generic ones.
I'm at a nine.
They're gonna hate me.
I'm gonna go with ten.
All right, so if we do that, we're gonna have to round down.
So that'll bring us to a nine.
Okay, I like it.
Yeah.
And so last we got our own personal grade for this.
So where are you sitting at?
Well, I kick myself for sleeping on this movie.
This would have absolutely made my top five last year probably would have kicked sing
two out of my top five and took its place maybe even higher.
This is an incredible movie.
The songs are incredible.
They're toe tapping.
They're catchy.
I can't stop listening to this goddamn soundtrack.
Characters are incredible.
Just I hardly have anything bad to say about this movie.
It is so good.
So I'm gonna go.
I'm going to 96.
Oh shit, my bad.
My bad.
Sorry about that, Keel.
You're good.
Yeah, this movie was so good.
And what I love about movies like this is the deep dive that you can go into with the
characters or the overall story that the character development like I feel like I could talk
for days about like each of the individual characters themselves.
So I loved all that.
I love the family dynamic and the lesson of healing and acceptance.
And like this movie, I feel like this movie genuinely brought a tear to my eye.
Like especially when you go back and see and begin to understand exactly what Abuela has
been through.
Like that was just heartbreaking.
But like, again, such good storytelling and Disney's just killing it.
Like these these Latin based stories are just incredible.
Like it's insane how well they're pulling these off.
Like absolutely insane.
So me personally, I think I'm going to be at like a 90.
I'm going to go to a 92, which that brings our personal score to a 94.
And since that is the last category, the final Albreos letter grade for Encanto has come
to a A minus.
Hell yeah.
Super well deserved.
Absolutely.
Super frickin well deserved.
So it is sitting at a 92.81 percent.
Wow.
Let's see.
Oh damn.
This is like out of the A minus movies.
This is actually just because of how high it is.
I'm going to pull up our A movies too.
Oh my goodness.
This movie cracked our top 10.
Yes.
Oh, that makes me so happy.
Hell yeah.
All right.
So this is an this is A minus movies and A movies that I'm going like up.
All right.
So like I said, Encanto is sitting at a 92.81 percent, which puts it below Avengers Infinity
War, which is at a 92.93.
Puts it below Room, which is at a 93.06.
And then puts it below War of the Planet of the Apes, which is at a 93.12.
Moving to the A movies, this one or puts it below Avengers Endgame, which is at a 94.06.
And the Ballad of Buster Scruggs, which is at a 94.62.
So that is everything that it is below.
And the only reason I included the A movies were because there are only like three movies
above Encanto.
But this puts it above.
We're going to catch some shit.
This puts it above Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.
You know what?
I'm not mad about that.
Yeah, right.
I know.
I know he is.
But I don't know.
I love the Spider-Verse, but I love Encanto.
Yeah.
So into the Spider-Verse is sitting at a 92.59 compared to Encanto's 8 or 92.81.
So it's 0.3% lower.
Wow.
It is also above Pulp Fiction, which is at a 92.43.
It is above Joker, which is at a 92.37.
And it is above A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which is at a 92.31.
And then finally, it is above The Eternals, which is at a 92.25.
All right.
So compared to Coco, the difference between Encanto and Coco is 2.4% or wait, 1.4%.
OK.
That is the difference.
It's a little bit lower, but not by much.
OK.
Nice.
But yeah, that's wild.
That wow.
Like that got way higher than I was expecting it to.
Same here, but I am so happy about that.
Yeah.
Like there's not a single one that I disagree with.
Same here.
Like I think there's some that you can make like the argument, and I'm sure Vic will find
a way to make the argument about Into the Spider-Verse.
Yeah, I'm sure.
But Encanto was just incredible.
It was.
So yeah, that concludes this week's breakdown.
