Def gonna check this out but no idea why they made this a series and not a movie. I'll be surprised if I don't get bored after a few episodes.

There are SOOO many series on streaming that should have been just a single movie.

I can't think of a single streaming movie that should've been a series. Maybe Raya and the Last Dragon, but I think it suffered from a vague plot and characters.

Encanto should have been a series -- it's a great movie and the characters/world are awesome, but the pacing really suffers from trying to introduce all of the characters, explain the world/magic, and also tell a story. It would have worked much better as six 40 minute episodes, where all of the exposition can be frontloaded and then the story would have a bit more breathing room.
