I swear, they're nearly Rivervale.

Oh with more than one role overlapping yes.

I suppose Siv is Felix to Piper as Pepa when PIper's in a mood? Chuckle Maybe not

I forget who Felix is

Doesn't diegetic just mean that it's part of the world and heard by the characters (as opposed to background music)?

correct

so... no, the characters are not breaking into song

isn't that exactly what they are doing?

heh

except they aren't

they are, but they aren't

Felix is Mirabel's uncle who married in the family, married Pepa whose mood affects the weather 🙂

right, I like Felix! He is so good natured

damn Russians!

Oh, is this something we can blame on the Varich?

works for me

It is!

See, I kind of LIKE the idea that Mirabel's power is causing others to sing their feelings broadway style , and yet no one realizes it

2000 years of presentational, symbolic, abstract theatre

And nope, all comes crashing down with naturalism

OKay, I get it now.When a song occurs naturally in the film (played on the radio, or a band, etc) it is diegetic. But when the character sings it as though aware they are in a musical, it is not?

Typically!

There ARE musicals with diagetic songs

Will this be on the test?!

or a mix!

No one told me there would be a test! panics

Like - the chicago FILM has the songs explicitly done as dream sequences or stage performances

Cabaret has a mix - but the songs performed at the club are diagetic

This is where you get mad at me

I haven't seen either 😄

No worries

Thane Austen, LOL

In the Buffy "Once More, With Feeling" episode, all the songs are diagetic, but are also caused by a musical theatre demon, sooooo

Musical Theatre Demon sounds like an Indie band name

LURKING

Modern western theatre & film are dominated by realism. So we're used to it. But as part of theatrical tradition as a whole, it's relatively recent.

You can also blame the Italians, to an extent.

The more I watch Encanto the more i like Dolores.

I like all of them! I want a TV show.

I am also reading a fan fic right now about the family during the time they are rebuilding Casita and trying to figure otu who they are without their gifts

Julieta and Luisa are hot messes

Bruno my fave. Luisa and Dolores tied I thinkn for second. But almost all of them are cool/fun

Bruno favorite, followed by the trio of village kids hopped up on caffeine

"And this is why Coffee is for grownups" YANK

hee

On my first watch, I was very disappointed that they got their gifts back. I was hoping they would learn to work together and that they didn't need magic to follow their passions
