    This holiday's Disney animated movie, from the directors of Zootopia and featuring songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

    IMDB synopsis:

    A young Colombian girl has to face the frustration of being the only member of her family without magical powers.

    Thought this was very good. Beatriz and Leguizamo are great. It is one of the most colorful, inventive modern Disney movies I can recall. I loved all of the minor characters.

    I feel like the moral of the story gets a little convoluted and wraps up a little too cleanly. But still, very solid. Between this and “Tick Tick Boom” - a good two weeks for Lin-Manuel.

    yeah, i really liked it too. about on par w/ raya for me. really hard to deny how delightful a lot of it was. forgot which songs LMM did, but i thought they might've translated better here than for in the heights (which i liked as well.) a couple contrivances (for one, mirabel and isabela reconciling was a bit too sudden for my liking) but this will likely feel like a breath of fresh air for a lot of people

    few more things:

    - this will hit disney+ on christmas eve for those who’d rather wait to watch at home
    - the animated short before this was really nice. might be better than i think it is, seeing as people next to me were talking half the time it was on
    - glad to hear tick tick boom is good, also. that film was not high on my priorities if i’m being honest

    How much you’ll enjoy “Tick Tick Boom” is based on how much you enjoy musical theatre. It’s definitely a movie made by a theatre dork for theatre dorks.

    This might be my favorite of the 3D Disneys. Had high expectations and even then was blown away

    Saw this earlier today. It was good, but didn’t blow me away. Enjoyable though.

    Saw this today after work and loved it. Thought the message was relevant, Beatriz was truly fantastic, and the music was a lot of fun too. Very delightful time overall, made me tear up too a few times.

    Loved John Leguizamo's character too, wish we got more of him.

    I really love this. Watched it with the wife and kiddo tonight. Maybe one of my favorite of the recent Disney movies, which makes sense being from the team behind Tangled and Zootopia.

    Really gorgeous and charming flick. Absolutely lush animation, and I loved the true lack of a "villain".
