I used to love this movie so much lol, when I was a kid, this and barbie princess and the popstar were all I watched. Obviously, it's a barbie movie, so the writing and animation is so bad it's good. Also, now rewatching it, I ship albrecht x hilarion.

this is my new comfort movie. it's cute, funny, and charming. i love seeing my boys act, and they're hilarious even when they're trying not to be. hard day's night is also one of my favorite albums and i am in love with the beatle's early stuff (I'm a teen girl so i love the boy band phase). top tier plot, actors, songs, acting, and script. this is actually a blessing to mankind and a masterpiece. i'd give it 64 stars if i could!

I have very mixed emotions about his movie. For starters, I am only a year old than the main character, Mei, and I am aware that I act like her. Yes, I'm a huge simp for many people and characters. But when they brought her character into the movie, I just realized how cringe teenagers can be. And I'M a teenager! I know it wasn't Disney's intention, but I just felt like they were mocking our awkward years. We're trying to find ourselves and our role in this world, and all we get is a lot of people grimacing and laughing at us worldwide. I felt so much second-hand embarrassment when watching this because I was with my whole family (including my Dad and my 10-year old brother) and the movie constantly brought up periods, pads, boys, and whatnot. I mean, they even ANIMATED the products! That's going a bit far if you ask me, but then again, what do I know? Yes, I will admit that Disney did a pretty good job of portraying some teenage girls, but I was thoroughly disappointed with the lack of feminism in this movie. Most of the main characters were girls, and I thought that at least some of them wouldn't be crazy. But even the mother in this movie scared me to death with her psycho-ness. Seriously, I think I'm going to have nightmares because of her. I'm just saying after we had Moana and Raya, I thought we would see at least a hint of girl power. I'm not saying it had to be totally repetitious with that theme, I just didn't enjoy the fact that they were practically worshipping these guys and losing themselves as a person. Even with my 20+ fictional crushes, I still value feminism and refuse to change my entire self for some guy, and I felt like this movie was giving girls the wrong message. Still, for the people who just are thinking, "Oh, well, she doesn't like this movie just because it's too similar to her and she feels embarrassed," that's not even it. I'm also a bit disappointed with the art style of it. Was this Disney's style of anime or something? I'm so confused. But, I do like the character development with the dad, as he went from being timid and shy to a caring, braver character. In the beginning, I was disappointed with him because we finally got great father characters in Encanto, just to have Pixar screw it up with this guy. But I have to say, he prevailed in the end! And the mother... she definitely scared me. She also brought up the cringe meter in this movie. I'm just glad she became less scary at the end. All in all, I sadly did not enjoy this movie. It just didn't meet my standards, but I believe that Pixar will do some great things in the future. But as for now, I'll stick to Encanto, thank you very much!
