THB #24: Encanto, Eternals, and The Trouble With Disney

I saw Encanto over the weekend. It isn’t quite Moana. There isn’t likely to be a hit single. But it’s a pretty damned good movie. Moreover, it is a movie very much in line with this moment in social history. It’s not what they are really selling, but the movie speaks, with magic and music, to the ideas of how we each see ourselves individually, but more importantly, how we assume others see themselves and how wrong we can be.
