While Mendelson criticized Miranda's songs as often repeating information already provided to the audience, he said Disney smartly used the film to not only introduce diverse characters but to tell a unique story. In particular, he pointed to John Leguizamo - who voices an uncle whose ability to see the future puts him at odds with his family - as giving a performance that is 'equal parts comedy and misery.' Mendelson was just one of many critics who praised the film's voice cast. 'Therein lies 'Encanto's' biggest innovation: It's a Disney adventure that never leaves the house.' 'That makes Mirabel a sort of reverse Elsa, if you will, and instead of setting off on an adventure to find herself, her quest leads inward into her own family history and the secrets buried inside it,' Siede wrote. In many cases, Disney's protagonists possess either special gifts or skills that distinguish them from other characters. She pointed out that Mirabel's lack of magical abilities also sets her apart from other Disney heroines. 'How fun to see a Disney heroine with cousins,' she wrote. Siede notes that unlike many of Disney's animated protagonists, Mirabel Madrigal not only has two living parents but is surrounded by an expansive extended family. 'So it's a bold move that for its 60th feature, 'Encanto,' the studio turns so many of those classic tropes on their head.' 'From 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs' to 'Raya And The Last Dragon,' Walt Disney Animation Studios has spent the past eight decades perfecting its signature riff on the classic hero's journey,' wrote Caroline Siede in her review of the film for AV Club.

'And the grand pooh-bah of the contemporary musical movie score, Lin-Manuel Miranda, provides a spellbinding soundtrack of songs combining salsa, bachata and hip-hop played with traditional folk instruments from Colombia,' Phillips wrote. It is a spectrum that is representative of the diversity within the Latino community.

Phillips said that 'Encanto' has a 'robust engagement with, and respect for, Latino culture,' noting that the Madrigal family members have skin tones that range from light to dark and have hair textures that vary from straight to kinky-curly. 'The computer animation, some of the best from any major studio in the last several years, presents a dazzling confabulation of hues and a meticulous weaving of precious details - like the embroidery on skirts, the golden-brown crust of a cheese arepa and the selection of native Colombian flora,' said Maya Phillips, a writer for The New York Times. Disney's two animation studios have long been praised for their revolutionary techniques in creating delicate details, from stitching on clothing to realistic hair.
