Encanto is a visually enchanting work and the beauty here lies in the regional details that the film highlights. The features, personalities, flowers, animals, songs and music of the Colombian region are schematically entrenched in the storytelling here

Disney’s 60th animation offering appears to take the Pixar route. Like Pixar’s recent tribute “Coco,” highlighting Mexican culture, “Encanto” breaks out to embrace Colombian roots. It’s blindingly clear from their recent forays that both Pixar and Disney are attempting to broaden their horizons in order to increase their fan base by targeting native stories from regions hitherto unexplored by Hollywood. And that kind of inclusiveness is a welcome move no doubt.
