Enjoy Tiana S.'s interview with Charise Castro Smith, Co-Director and CoWriter of Encanto
26Enjoy Tiana S.'s interview with Ms. Charise Castro Smith, the co-screenplay Writer, co-director, and co-storywriter of Disney's award-winning film, Encanto! Ms. Castro Smith is breaking her own records as Disney Animation’s first Latina director for her role with Encanto. She is also the proud mother of a little girl named Cecilia, named after the Encanto character. As a huge fan of the film, I’d like to welcome Ms. Charise Castor Smith.
Encanto is an amazing film full of teachings that brings big surprises and great emotions to the public. You will be thrilled with the many beauties and magic in this film.
The film tells the story of Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz), a girl who is part of the Madrigal family, a family where everyone has super-magic powers. But, is Mirabel of the same alignment as they are? An unexpected event that puts the family in danger, can change everything.
The storyline is well written. I really love the characters. They are funny and nice and the kind of people that everyone likes. My favorite parts are when Antonio Madrigal talks to the animals. I love animals and have always wanted to understand them. Watching this film gave me a greater desire to communicate with animals. This is magical! I also like the part when Mirabel is going to save the family and she says something funny. The special effects are terrific. Everything is super colorful.The background music is extraordinary; the music I like most is the adventure song when Mirabel takes off on her adventure. I love the adventure genre and this music accentuates it. As for costumes, I particularly love the costumes that show their tradition, yet at the same time, are contemporary outfits. They are so beautiful!
The message of the film is that we need to believe in ourselves, Never give up, because in the end you'll find a light.
I give Encanto 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18, plus adults. Encanto is available on Disney+. (Review by Anna Clara B., KIDS FIRST!)
