An absolute MASTERPIECE!!! As a born and partly raised Colombian who had to leave home many years ago, this was absolutely incredible to watch! To see the way Disney captured such a horrible reality Colombians live day in and day out (Abuela Alma's story) was just beyond amazing. For anyone wondering, those are NOT "conquistadors" anyone thinking they had to leave their home because of "conquistadors" please go read a little bit about "desplazamientos forzados" in the history of the nation. The food, the slang, the wit, the animals, the houses, the clothes, the sass, the little details, THE MUSIC!!!! Seeing so many of our different cultures blend into one movie, and be left analyzing so much of one's self, our loved ones, our community and the families we belong to and come from was not what I was expecting. I didn't think I would be so emotionally impacted by this movie but Lin-Manuel Miranda and the entire team really knocked it out of the park with this one. And yes! It's equally great in Español!
