Eye-popping animation and irresistibly catchy songs highlight this fantasy-comedy. Great voice-work from a mainly Colombian cast. There's a heartwarming message as with most Disney movies.

Disney has truly been on a roll by expanding their horizons - Moana, Raya, Luca, Soul and Coco have explored different cultures and also managed to be excellent films.

I hope Disney continues to explore even more because if the last few years are any indication, it packs a bigger punch and helps open your eyes.

What followed was a great, thoughtful study in… life. What that translates to depends on the viewer.
I’ve seen a lot of talk about this movie online, which honestly is what sparked my interest. I’ve seen comparisons run the gamut of themes like transsexual transition, family trauma, autism, and so on. And as varied as these topics are, I completely see the comparisons. I think another good element of a movie is the ability to …
