As a bonus holiday gift, Disney added a movie that you can still see in theaters to Disney Plus for no additional charge. Music by Lin Manuel Miranda fills this animated feature set in Columbia, and as someone who loves Disney musicals, animated musicals, and has been wanted to branch out for this blog. I decided to cover this new release as I am not ready to sit in movie theaters as of recent events, thus why I covered " In The Heights" day one as it was a same day on HBO MAX release but have not covered the new "West Side Story" yet. Since not everyone has not seen this movie in theaters, and it is so new. This will be a non-spoiler review. So, let's see how Disney's newest animated feature fares.
The story is nothing short of amazing, the trailers portraying a magical family who all have their own special gifts... except for one, our lead Mirable. There is an adventure, twists, turns, and ton of very very catchy music. The story is well written, full of comedy, heart, and great emotions. The conflict of this story is more down to earth and relatable then one would expect but it leads to a very beauitful movie with a wonderful message. My one complaint is though the movie have many laughs throughout there were some jokes that did not land at all and few that ran a few times too many but this complaint is minute and many of the jokes did. This is a very feel-good down to earth story that I found relatable, including the awesome songs.
The animation is spectacular and looks amazing, plenty of Disney's latest pictures look amazing and this one is no different. The locations may be in one area but they all look breath taking, the animation used for specific scenes is gorgeous. This movie looks incredible from start to finish and has a great style and atmosphere.
The music is amazing, every song is a winner much like how much I loved Lin's work with "Moana" the music team in this movie knocked it out of the park. The songs range from fun to relatable or both while all being beyond catchy. Like many other Disney songs I will be listening to these songs quiet a bit, and I even talked about one already. It was super nice to finally see the visuals tied to the song. Both work hand in hand with the great narrative to make this movie a great watch.
Since it is no additional cost, I cannot recommend this movie enough, this and "Tick Tick Boom" are two of my favorite musicals we got this year, and I love them both. If you want a fun and new movie to watch this holiday season, this one is a great pick that will have you singing the songs long after the credits roll. I highly recommend this very fun adventure that feels very much at home as well.
