So I’ve been watching Disney’s Encanto literally multiple times a day every afternoon in my dwelling because Omicron and because preschoolers and… let’s be honest… because LUISA.
We’ve never had a muscular woman like her in a Disney movie before and I’m here for it. Luisa Madrigal isn’t queer in the movie, but she has already risen to womxn loving womxn icon status. She is going to the sexual awakening moment for generations of baby gays and I like that for them. The song “Surface Pressure” is a bop that is already charting on the Billboard Scorching 100 and making big sisters sense seen.
I was innocently scrolling through my TikTok For You Page when Luisa’s voice actress, Jessica Darrow popped up. Encanto is the 26-year-old Cuban-American actress’s breakout role after studying acting at Rutgers University and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. She joined TikTok in March 2020 prefer the rest of us and the majority of the comments on her recent videos are queer girls simping. She chose one to reply to:

The Tragic Misinterpretation of Encanto
WARNING: MILD SPOILERS AHEAD!
The new Disney movie Encanto, which was released on November 21, 2021, has been a great knock worldwide. Its amazing soundtrack, loveable characters, and awesome storyline have gotten a lot of attention, and the Encanto fandom has grown quickly.
In the fandom for most movies, there’s always a collection of fanart or a bunch of headcanons for its characters. Giving headcanons to characters is like guessing a bunch of quirks or traits for them that aren’t canon (meaning that they aren’t confirmed to be true by the creators).
For example, some people have proposed that Dora the Explorer is allergic to shrimp, or something more complex and dark, like Swiper the fox is a kleptomaniac. And then fans will proceed to talk about how lonely Swiper must feel being alone in the jungle and that’s why he follows Dora around.
There’s a lot of discourse in fandoms about what is fitting and what isn’t. In some fandoms, there’s even a “fanon” instead of “canon” version of characters, because of how much the fandom projects onto them, changes their original traits, and dismisses everything about them.

The "Actual" meaning of Encanto
Encanto as a film was one of the improved received Disney animation in recent memory, from the music, to the personality designs, to the narrative resolution and heartwarming interplay of all of the characters in the family Madrigal.
Though, for all of the popularity of the film there was a bit of controversy in the "proper" reading of the plot. While there is a clear examination of intergenerational trauma from Abuela to Mirabel and all of the family in-between, some have interpret the film with as allegorical to the exposure some in LGBTQ society have experienced.
This disagreement led to a decent amount of intercommunal conflict on many social networks about the proper way of reading the text, but is their an actual proper meaning to a film? Does authorial intent matter? Is it "wrong" to read the write in a way more relative to oneself?
There is quite a lot of room to discuss the racial and cultural perspectives of the various angles of the argument of the actual meaning of the movie.
How Encanto Could Correct Luca and Loki’s Lack of Queer Representation
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Disney's Encanto, in theaters now.
One of the biggest questions on Disney fans' minds was how the Dwelling of Mouse would make clear moves regarding its Gay stance. Beauty and the Beast and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker had fleeting moments of queer voice that were effectively nullified, while Valkyrie's bisexual person arc was slice from Thor: Ragnarok. Some ground was made with Eternals via Phastos' marriage, but the partnership wasn't given much screen-time and treated as an add-on in the clip to just tick off a box. It wasn't as organic as Loki's bisexual nature and lacked the potential to appeal to teens in Luca, but Encantosets up dominoes to correct mistakes both these properties made.
When it comes to Queer representation, narrative authenticity is key in terms of progression and eqaulity. Loki's gender-fluidity in the comics set up a bisexual arc which the TV reveal just mentioned yet never visually showed. Audiences never saw Tom Hiddleston's trickster even scoping out another guy or regaling Sylvie with a gay experience. Given he's
