Encanto's villain is childhood trauma or trauma and its effects more generally.
- jedberg 5y agoI saw the villain as the Grandmother's pride, but either way, it wasn't a named character.
- pchristensen 5y agoAbuela Alma has pride for sure, but I felt like she was driven much more by fear and trauma.
- dragonwriter 5y agoThe primary antagonist usually is given a motivation for driving the crisis that the story resolves.
- samwillis 5y agoIt did also have the (real life) villains at the beginning which creates the tragedy that kicks off the events. But yes no villain for a child to anchor too.
- bladegash 5y agoTend to agree here, or if you were to ask one of my kids (5 and 8), they’d say the grandmother in general was the villain. They didn’t see the nuance of it or the end as a moment of redemption. They just saw her as mean to Maribel and the villain.
