Like many parents of young children, I’ve watched the newest Disney film, Encanto. Setting aside concerns about Disney at the corporate level, this movie is magical, entertaining…and filled with binge-worthy music. Its catchy soundtrack hit, “We Don’t Talk about Bruno,” stormed to #1 on both U.S. and global charts — drawing nearly 70 million streams in one week.
For the uninitiated, Encanto follows a magical family (the Madrigals) who live in a magical house called Encanto. This house has magic that is passed to each Madrigal child except one — Mirabel. Her lack of magic signals to the Madrigals that their home is in danger. And Mirabel’s search for the problem leads her to her Uncle Bruno — who was rejected by the family because of his willingness to foretell the truth even when it was hard. While the family thought Bruno had run away, Mirabel finds him living inside their house walls. He’s even holding the family home together.
