People like different things. I have seen movies that the majority have loved and I've hated. And vice versa. I'm not belittling anyone's opinion. Each to their own.

I watched the movie based on the amazing reviews. I wanted to see what the big deal was. I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved the movie. It was heartbreaking.

My title refers to the movie "what's eating Gilbert Grape". And I honestly think that, if you enjoy this movie, you will enjoy Gilbert Grape and vice versa. Both movies are about "journeys". Except, they go "nowhere". Except, they both go everywhere.

I will watch this movie again. I enjoy many movies. But there aren't too many that i choose to watch again.

I think the reviews on here are mainly based on the viewer's age. The older viewer prefers the original. The younger viewer prefers, or sees no problem, with the sequel.

As an older viewer, I can only compare the two. And my review title says it all.

The original was a family movie that I could enjoy with my parent's grandparents and children.

The sequel is a movie that appears to be made for children. That bored me and my parents and my 14-year-old son. My 10-year-old daughter enjoyed it.

Maybe the original was made for children? And it just so happened that other ages could enjoy it? But the sequel fails to hit the mark, in my opinion.

Take EVERY Disney movie EVER. Feed them into a computer and ask it to "write" a "new" story based on all the "correct" factors that people know and love from Disney.

Hey presto = Encanto

I could literally cut and paste scenes from previous Disney movies to make this one.

It seems that many people disagree. We are all entitled to our opinion.

I love a LOT of Disney movies. Just not this one.
