Encanto
Encanto is a warm, musical family film about a Colombian family where everyone has a magical gift except one young woman who feels left out. The emotional themes run deeper than typical animated fare, touching on family pressure, generational trauma, and belonging, but are handled with care and ultimately resolved with hope.
Most children 5 and up will enjoy it comfortably, though the family-pressure themes and a few intense scenes may resonate more fully with kids 7 and older.
