Didn’t Pixar *just* give us a Latin flick?
Just curious. I guess it’s in high demand!
shareWhich one are you referring to?
Coco was over 4 years ago.
Luca is European-Italian.
Encanto is South American-Colombian.
Such vastly different cultures! It will be interesting to see Pixar do a Colombian story since I don't know a lot about Colombia. A cultures 'fairytale' says so much about them.
shareFrom the trailer... it didn't feel Colombian at all. It seemed like the standard "South-American archetype" in Hollywood modern movies, which is loosely based in Mexicans, mixed with some "posh empowered girl" moments. The only thing that reminded me to Colombians was the grand-mother's accent.
shareOh interesting, are you Colombian? I have been to Costa Rica and had planned to check out Colombia afterwards but plans got interrupted. I mean Colombia is so huge I'm sure that it could have lots of subcultures but I just don't know much about it down there.
shareNo, but my mother tongue is Spanish. I've lived, hanged out and worked with people from many South-American countries.
In practice, it's not such a big country, since the population occupies a narrow strip. It's the same for Ecuador and Peru. I don't feel there were lots of subcultures there, though I've met people from the center and south, not from the north. People identify themselves mostly in ethnic terms, depending you're more from indigenous descent or Spanish descent (it's far from being homogenous).
Nah, to me it felt very Colombian, the way the accordion was used, the vueltiao hat, all the costumes, Carlos Vives singing the song.
