Cool "Encanto" Facts That Enhance Your Viewing

In 2021, the world fell in love with the Madrigal family. Encanto's popularity has only grown since then — and a lot of fans believe it is the best Disney movie of the century so far. The magic is everywhere in and out of the movie, so I did some digging for some fun facts that we will talk about (unlike Bruno). Here are 23 Encanto fun facts that will make you feel right at home: Stephanie Beatriz was originally going to play Luisa. Unlike her signature role as the rugged Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Beatriz's real-life personality eventually led the filmmakers to offer her the leading role of Mirabel. Speaking of Beatriz, she actually auditioned for a part in the film by singing "You're Welcome" from Moana. That's making a bold first impression. Encanto is actually the first Disney animation to utilize full-time choreographers. To better capture Colombian cultural inspirations and dance styles, choreographers Jamal Sims and Kai Martinez were brought on to breathe life into the moves of the animated characters. Mirabel was initially known as Beatriz. Ultimately, Mirabel was chosen, based on the Spanish word "mira," meaning "to look." As for Bruno, he was originally called Oscar. With all that green, I'm glad they didn' been too Oscar the Grouch-coded. Colombian children do indeed drink coffee at a young age. So the coffee kid was a reference to that. I'm a grown man and still hate good on you, Colombian kids. Like most Disney movies, field trips were required to better study the culture of Colombia. Although the filmmakers went once, COVID-19 canceled Disney's second research trip. Pepa's gift was initially meant to be "indestructibility." Would've been hard to showcase for his big doorknob ceremony, but I'm sure producers had a plan. During the scene where Isabela shares her true feelings about her engagement, she uses her gift to create a cactus that is shaped like Mickey Mouse. Hidden Mickey confirmed? The filmmakers left clues about characters' gifts through clothing. Luisa has dumbbells and other weights on her skirt. Pepa has golden sun earrings. Camilo has chameloeons on his poncho. And many more clues throughout the family's wardrobe. According to Jared Bush, the woman whose fish had died was known as Senora Pezmuerto, which roughly translates to "Mrs. Dead Fish." I think the writing was on the wall for her fish. F in the chat for fish. Mirabel dances her way (literally to her own beat) when singing alone, but during the other Madrigals' songs, she does her best to learn and match their rhythms and dance "languages." Mirabel does not have a comical sidekick. A first in Disney movies, this was done intentionally to let the main character stand on their own. Most of the Latin voices that appear in the movie are from Colombian-born or Colombian-descent actors. Abuela's real name is Alma, which means "soul" in Spanish. In the beginning of the film, Mirabel dances through a game of Tejo, the national sport of Colombia, which includes beer and gunpowder and derives from the Indigenous groups who dwell there (imagine explosive cornhole). Luisa's bedroom door symbol is a reference to the Colombian weightlifter Maria Isabel Urrutia, who was the first Colombian athlete to win a gold medal at the Olympics. Bruno's costume was purposely designed to fade into the background. The color used is called "go-away green," a color used by Disney Imagineers to make your eye skim past buildings and structures. Sebastián Yatra agreed to be part of the film before he even knew what it was about. He quite literally did the "Where do I sign?" When under the bed with Antonio, Mirabel uses her lips to point toward her gift to him. Lip pointing is a gestural system used in South American and other cultures. And lastly, composer Lin-Manuel Miranda has said that the song "Surface Pressure" was inspired by his older sister, Luz. What is your favorite Encanto moment? Comment below!

A New Fine-Dining Restaurant With Familiar Dishes and Faces Opens in Beacon Hill

Nine, located at 9 Park Street Place, is set to open on Friday, August 15, with three menus: a seasonal tasting one, an la carte one, and a bar one. Reservations can be booked online. While some favorite dishes are returning, chef de cuisine Andrew Simonich shares some exciting new menu items and his updates on some menu classics with Eater. 'Walking in the doors, you always knew you'd be getting that classic French and Italian cuisine,' Simonich tells Eater. 'My leaning is to keep those techniques as our home base, but broadening the scope of where I pull influences, so we're broadening towards the Mediterranean influences and across Europe,' he says. Simonich is returning to the location where he got his start, back in December 2019, when he interned during a very busy holiday lunch season. The Johnson & Wales graduate stayed and worked his way up, and after a stint at Menton, was running the kitchen at No. 9 Park until its closing in October of 2024. 'We were sad that the old restaurant was going away, but excited for something new to come in,' Simonich tells Eater of No. 9's last days. Dishes at Nine. CJPR Not surprisingly, the chef has been grappling with the weight of the expectations from guests who've been visiting the location for decades, and Simonich assures that Nine will still serve classics like steak tartare, a steak, and perfectly cooked duck. The fresh pasta program, which he says is near and dear to his heart, will remain a major part of the menu, with current dishes like uni spaghetti made with squid ink oil and a compound uni butter, and chicken tortellini with mushroom ragu. The chef added new dishes to the a la carte and bar menus — including a burger with a foie gras-infused bun – because, he explains, some people just want a quick plate of food before heading to a show. Of course, a very seasonal, ever-changing tasting menu is still available for those who want to indulge for $180. Desserts and pastry — including a soufflé — will be created by Brandon Wells, formerly of Deuxave, Simonich tells Eater. The bar at Nine. CJPR Nine will have a lighter and brighter look than its predecessor, newly designed by Lorenzo Lorniali and Federica Di Biase of Adige Design. During the renovation process, the original brick arches inside the building were uncovered and exposed, now bringing in a lot more light in the back dining space. Previously, No. 9 Park was the crown jewel of embattled chef Barbara Lynch's Boston restaurant empire. The French restaurant's impact on Boston's dining scene was massive. Opening in 1998, it received national acclaim, including a James Beard award for Outstanding Wine Program in 2012. Lynch shut down the restaurant — as well as all of her other locations — at the end of 2024 following a tumultuous leadership period that culminated in two toxic workplace investigations published in the Boston Globe and the New York Times. Lynch has denied all claims.
