I like Encanto as a musical because of the anarcho-feminist themes. Most movies have the hero do productive labour like fighting bad guys, disarming bombs, or performing art. Mirabel is a hero frustrated she can't do productive labour on the same level as her family, but she spends the entire movie fixing problems through caring labour and learns to value her abilities for that, which exposes an important dimension of labour theory to the casual watcher. Also the Encanto is an anarchist commune.
I guess I could have specified broadway musicals. There are some great musical movies. I enjoyed moana. Also i have a friend who keeps bugging me to watch encanto, maybe ill watch it
