Description

"Anything I love, I can slander" says Lauren in this episode. We love Encanto for so many reasons, but we also have some serious criticisms. We discuss the good, the bad AND the ugly in this episode - How did Disney represent Colombian culture? What is Disney-fication? Is Disney more present in our lives than we may realize?
