Encanto - 1/5

This movie is truly ‘woke’, in that it has fallen asleep and has nothing good to say. Its worldbuilding is extremely lacking, much more what we’ve come to expect from Disney animation studios rather than Pixar’s exceptional record. The songs are immediately forgettable, and although the art direction is colorful it’s mostly uninspired. The magical powers are a mixed bag of standard, interesting, and bafflingly ill-conceived. The movie pays lip-service to the idea of helping the community but predictably plays out in oblivious narcissism.

Closest comparison: It’s the over-the-top feminist Disney/pixar movie.
