And here's one more example of a traditional melodic Lin-Manuel Miranda song, which was nominated for an Oscar: On another note, the reason I came back to this thread in the first place -- for those interested, Miranda was on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight.

Of course art is subjective and all of us are going to respond differently, so whether you like Miranda's work or not is up to you. But this statement is absolutely demonstrably false. Miranda has written non-rap songs in all of his major projects. Whether you like them or not is obviously...

For those who are interested in getting the physical disc release, pre-orders have gone up for various retailer exclusive editions. Best Buy has a steelbook, Target has lithographs and Wal-Mart has a pin of the house. I put links in the press release thread in the Blu-ray subform.

Such as? (I'm not trying to be antagonistic here. Obviously your opinion is valid. I just think it would be interesting to hear details of a different point of view from mine.)

Why not?

Why?

Just a reminder for anyone interested that Encanto is now streaming on Disney+. It is included with all subscriptions with no additional fee). So it is now accessible for those who might want to watch it at home instead of going out to the theater. Its theatrical companion short, Far From the...

My copy of the art book came in the mail today. It is a beautiful book, but I'm also happy to say there is text in it. Pixar's art books for Toy Story 4 and Soul have had a lot of great art in them but not very much text, which makes it hard to understand what everything in them is and where...

I went back for seconds this weekend. Because I am being extremely selective given current circumstances, this is only the second film I have seen more than once in a theater during the pandemic. It was absolutely worth going back. I am happy to say that it holds up wonderfully to repeat...

The physical CD soundtrack should hopefully come with a lyric booklet when it is released on December 17, so you could get that too.

Target's website is the first I have seen to include a track list for the CD version of the soundtrack. It is notable because it is less than the 44-track digital release. The CD will include 32 tracks. Eliminated are the bonus karaoke instrumental versions of the songs. But even more...

That's a fair and reasonable response. Obviously, everybody is going to view a film differently, which is what talking about them is so much fun. But that is a different discussion point because Inside Out and Up are not the same films you referenced in your above post. I was talking...

Frozen II and to an even greater degree Toy Story 4 have an advantage in that they feature characters that we as the audience have come to know and love for years prior thanks to the previous films. When Toy Story 4 ended the way it did, that hit hard because it was 24 years In the making to...

I loved Raya too. But this one is a very different type of movie and thus difficult to compare. Encanto is a more traditional Disney musical with some fantasy elements, whereas Raya was a more mythology-driven fantasy epic. They both attempt to do very different things and both succeed, but...

Almost every protagonist in almost every movie ever has to overcome obstacles. Obstacles create conflict. That's standard for any movie, not just Disney. I don't think that every film they make has to be groundbreaking. Sometimes it's okay just to be really good. In this case, I think the...

This movie is a blast of happiness. The marketing gives away a couple of things that the movie intended to be a surprise, whic is unfortunate. That's not the movie's fault, but I wish the marketing team had demonstrated some more restraint in a couple of specific cases. If you have already...

Disney already confirmed that this will have a 30-day theatrical window, so yes, you are right. It is the only Disney release since they started the 45-day theatrical window to have a shorter window because they want to have it in theaters for Thanksgiving and on Disney+ by Christmas.

A couple new promotional videos today:

A new featurette:

For anybody interested, advance tickets are now on sale. The first shows will be Tuesday, November 23 at 6pm local time. Unfortunately, Encanto is not going to be running on the premium screen at my theater because that is going to be occupied by Ghostbusters. But I got my tickets for next...

Here is a link to a good interview with the filmmakers. https://news.disney.com/encanto-directors-interview Also, a bunch of new character posters today via Disney social media:

Amazon currently has a physical CD soundtrack for pre-order. Raya and the Last Dragon was digital only, so I'm glad to see that this will be getting a physical release. However, the listed street date is December 17. which is almost a month after the film's release date on November 24. This...

The release date for the art book has been moved from November 16 to November 23.

New trailer: And, just for an interesting change, here is the Spanish dubbed version of the trailer as well:
