Encanto was released in theaters back in November, but it wasn’t until the movie hit Disney+ in December that it became a huge phenomenon. Not only did the new film win the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature, but it was just nominated for three Academy Awards, and its song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” is the first Disney song since Aladdin’s “A Whole New World” to reach number one on the Billboard charts. Due to the movie’s popularity, the directors have been sharing some interesting behind-the-scenes details about Encanto. Aparently, co-director Jared Bush has been asked why Julieta (Angie Cepeda) doesn’t use her healing powers to “fix” Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) or Agustín’s (Wilmer Valderrama) eyesight. Not only does Bush have a great explaination, but it comes with the heartwarming story of a young Disney fan.
3 years ago, Lowri wrote Disney asking for a heroine w/ glasses. I couldn’t say that her wish was already coming true! BUT watch the clip for the answer to a big question: Why doesn’t Julieta “fix” Mirabel or Agustín’s eyesight. It’s who they are & she wouldn’t want to change it. https://t.co/WloQDjGFds
