I was looking forward to this cute animation after seeing the trailer, and hoping for it to be something like Coco. Well, it’s not, in case you are wondering. To be honest, this movie is kinda boring to me. Why am I still putting it in the A-league? Because I assume the main audience will be kids and their parents.

First of all, I’m sure kids are going to love it for the “magic” — all the singing, and the vibrant animation. Parents are probably shaking their heads now. Another one of those, huh? What makes it into the A-league as a kids’ animation is its story. The story is actually more educational for parents than kids. There’s a little short animation before the movie started in my theater, and they go with the same theme: parenting.
I won’t say more in case of spoilers, but parents, if you have a toddler, take them to see this movie and it will remind you why you love them so much.

Plot
Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family — the Madrigals — who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal — every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If you’re like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, you’ll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether that’s to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out that’s all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.
