Why aren’t we talking about Encanto?

Yes, music was added - it was in all the animation to stage adaptations. But they didn’t change the story of the movie.

That was my point because the original comment I was replying to was that adapting Encanto to the stage would be lazy because so much of the work has been done with the film. The only Disney on Broadway adaptation that was completely different - because there isn’t an animated version - is Aida. Mary Poppins had aspects of the movie and a lot of the songs, but it incorporated other of Travers’ stories so there were more changes to it than others.

Just learned— not sure if mentioned in all these replies. Ask Alexa if we talk about Bruno.

This happens in a few other places I noticed, rather humorously.
In the “All of You” song, Agustín sings “The triplets all reunite” and the CC says “The trip was only a night.” And when the villagers are coming, they sing, “We are only down the road” and CC say something like “Roll me down the road” :rofl:

I saw this mentioned on the joke thread.
I’ll need to ask for a spoiler though as I don’t have an Alexa.

Yeah that definitely happens. But this was a difference in translation

How does that work? Is there one place to see all the tweets for this?

Just look for the #Encanto hashtag and you’ll see them. Or just look at Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Twitter and he retweeted most of the best content.

I should go find my phone and text, but when do you leave for WDW? And shoot me some dinner date suggestions! Or lunch. Or coffee.

It’s too late for me to text you so I’m here instead :laughing:

We leave in about 29-30 hours! Aaah! I’m not ready! So much to do. I would love to get together next week when we return!!

I am very late to this party, but just started watching this morning. I got to this song and just had to immediately pop in and share in the OMG of it.

That is one of those songs that just immediately struck an emotional chord with me. Goosebumps, tears, just like a truly visceral reaction. I love it!

Can you tell us: who keeps letting you all out?

Clearly they are not Canadian donkeys. Canadians are kept rather well penned-in based on observations here.
