We were really, really passionate early on about making sure that Colombian families and people from Latin backgrounds felt like this was a movie that they felt seen by. I was so happy to see so many people really connect with it as a film about Columbia. When CinemaBlend spoke to her about her experience seeing the movie reach audiences, she shared what she thought of its massive audience reaction: In Vilfort’s episode, she draws Encanto’s Mirabel. Each episode centers on a Disney animator as they share their journey in animation and teach viewers how to draw a beloved character.
In the months since its release, it left an important mark on its audiences, and one Disney animator is sharing her reaction to all the big love for it.Įncanto’s story artist Samantha Vilfort was recently featured in an episode of the Disney+ docuseries Sketchbook.

Now that the dust has settled and we’ve finally gotten “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” out of our collective heads after it broke some crazy music records, allow us to plop it right back in there.
