Encanto is a 2021 American computer-animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The 60th film produced by the studio, Encanto was directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, co-directed by Charise Castro Smith who co-wrote the screenplay with Bush, and produced by Yvett Merino and Clark Spencer, with original songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Featuring the voices of Stephanie Beatriz, María Cecilia Botero, John Leguizamo, Mauro Castillo, Jessica Darrow, Angie Cepeda, Carolina Gaitán, Diane Guerrero, and Wilmer Valderrama, Encanto follows a multigenerational Colombian family, the Madrigals, helmed by a matriarch whose children and grandchildren—except for Mirabel Madrigal (Beatriz)—receive magical gifts from a "miracle" that helps them serve the people in their rural community called "the Encanto". When Mirabel learns that the family is losing their magic, she sets out to find out what is happening, to save her family and their magical house.

The film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 3, 2021, and was released in the United States and Canadian theatres on November 24 over a 30-day theatrical run in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It underperformed theatrically, grossing over $237 million worldwide, but achieved wider commercial success after its release to Disney+ on December 24, 2021. Its soundtrack went viral and reached number one on the US Billboard 200 and UK Compilation Albums charts; "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Surface Pressure" were two of its most successful songs, with the former topping both the US Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles charts for multiple weeks.

Upon release, Encanto received critical acclaim for its emotion, music, animation, characterization, and cultural fidelity. Various reviews named magic realism and transgenerational trauma as the film's core concepts. Encanto has received several accolades, earning award nominations from various critic circles. It has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film and the National Board of Review Award for Best Animated Film. At the 94th Academy Awards, the film has been nominated for Best Animated Feature, while its score and track "Dos Oruguitas" contend for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, respectively.

Plot

Madrigal family from left to right: Luisa, Isabela, Alma, Mirabel, Agustín, Julieta, Camilo, Antonio, Pepa, Félix, and Dolores.

Forced by an armed conflict to flee her village in Colombia, a young Alma Madrigal loses her husband Pedro but saves her triplet infant children: Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno. By a miracle, her candle attains magical qualities, blasts away their pursuers, and creates a sentient house, the Casita, for them to live in, along with a magical realm bordered by tall surrounding mountains—an encanto. Fifty years later, the candle continues to burn and a town thrives under its protection. The candle's magic grants "gifts" to each Madrigal descendant, which they are to use to serve the villagers. However, Bruno, vilified and scapegoated for his gift of precognition, disappeared ten years earlier, while Mirabel, Julieta's youngest daughter, mysteriously did not receive a gift, and feels left out of the family for it ("The Family Madrigal").

On his fifth birthday, Pepa's youngest son, Antonio, is gifted with the ability to communicate with animals, and the family poses for a picture but neglects Mirabel ("Waiting on a Miracle"). Leaving the celebration, Mirabel suddenly sees the Casita cracking and the candle's flame flickering, but her warnings go unheeded when the Casita appears undamaged to the others. After overhearing Alma praying, Mirabel resolves to save the miracle's magic. The next day, she talks to her super-strong older sister, Luisa, who confesses that she feels overwhelmed by the near-constant work she must do ("Surface Pressure"), then suggests that Bruno's room, in a forbidden tower in the Casita, may hold clues to the phenomenon. There, Mirabel discovers a cave and recovers pieces of a slab of opaque emerald glass. After Mirabel narrowly escapes the cave, Luisa discovers that her gift is weakening. After her family reminds her of the reasons that Bruno is not to be discussed ("We Don't Talk About Bruno"), Mirabel reconstructs the glass and discovers it forms an image of herself standing in front of a broken Casita. Mirabel assumes this to mean that she will destroy the family.

Later that evening, Mirabel's oldest sister Isabela, who can make plants and flowers grow at will, is scheduled to become engaged to neighbor Mariano Guzmán. After a tense dinner, Mirabel's oldest cousin Dolores, who possesses superhuman hearing, blurts out that she overheard Mirabel talking with her father about Bruno's vision. The Casita begins to crack again, causing everyone's powers to go haywire, ruining the night and Mariano's proposal when Pepa inadvertently conjures a downpour. As everyone flees the chaos, Mirabel follows a group of rats and discovers a secret passage behind a portrait. There she encounters Bruno, who reveals that his vision of Mirabel would have put her at odds with the family (and potentially the townsfolk who relied on the magic for their everyday lives), so he broke the vision and went into hiding to protect her, concealing himself within the house's walls so he could still be near them. Bruno reveals that the vision could change, meaning that Mirabel would either destroy the Madrigal family or heal its rifts. At Mirabel's urging, he reluctantly conjures another vision. At first, it goes the same way as the previous one, with Mirabel still standing in front of a broken Casita. However, a golden butterfly appears, and the vision changes into an image of Mirabel embracing a young woman, whom they identify as Isabela.

Mirabel apologizes to Isabela but accidentally provokes a cathartic confession: Isabela does not want to marry Mariano and is burdened by her image of perfection ("What Else Can I Do?"). Mirabel helps Isabela blossom into her true, imperfect self and they embrace, strengthening the candle and healing the cracks. However, Alma sees the two of them, with Isabela growing whatever she wants, and accuses Mirabel of causing the family's misfortunes out of spite for not having a Gift. Mirabel in turn blames Alma for the immense pressure she imposes on the family. Their rising argument weakens the candle again and creates a fissure that splits a nearby mountain and demolishes the Casita. Despite Mirabel's efforts to save it, the candle dies in her hands, leaving all the Madrigals powerless. While the family and several locals assess the damage, a guilt-ridden Mirabel leaves the town.

After a few hours of fruitless search, Alma finds a tearful Mirabel back at the river where Pedro died. She explains how, in her determination to preserve the magic, she ignored the toll it took on her family and finally takes responsibility for what happened ("Dos Oruguitas"). After hearing Alma's tragic backstory, Mirabel tells her that despite her flaws, she is the one who brought and protected the family together all these years. After a golden butterfly appears, they reconcile, and Bruno appears and confronts Alma to defend Mirabel, but unexpectedly cheers her up with his return. They reunite with the Madrigals, and the townspeople arrive to help them rebuild the Casita ("All of You"). When the house is rebuilt, the Madrigals give Mirabel a gleaming doorknob with an M on it. When she places it in the front door, the magic springs back to life, restoring the Casita and all the family's Gifts and spreading through the town. The Madrigals pose for another family picture, this time with Mirabel and Bruno included.

Production

Development

Lin-Manuel Miranda speaking at the 2019 San Diego Comic Con International, for "His Dark Materials", at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.
Lin-Manuel Miranda in 2019

During a November 2016 publicity tour for Moana, Miranda revealed that early-stage work had begun on an animated project that John Lasseter, then the chief creative officer of Disney Animation, had presented to him and Howard.[17]

Howard and Bush subsequently revealed that after finishing Zootopia (2016), they knew they wanted their next project to be a musical[18]—which turned into a Latin-American musical after Miranda came on board.[19][20] Howard and Bush had already worked on buddy films "where two characters go out into the world and learn about each other" and wanted to try something "completely different."[20] The three men discussed their common experience of having large extended families, and decided to make a musical film about a large extended family with a dozen main characters.[20][21]

During the five years it took to develop the film, Howard and Bush's "true north" was the theme of perspective, "about how you see the other people in your family and how you're seen."[20] During their early brainstorming, they made "three important discoveries" about families which became the basis of the film's story: "1) most of us don't feel truly seen by our families, 2) most of us carry burdens we never let our families see, and 3) most of us are oblivious that nearly all of us, especially within our own families, feel the exact same way".[22] In turn, it was Miranda who suggested that the "vibrant, broad spectrum" of Latin-American music could "best capture" the complexity of family relationships.[22]

Howard and Bush started to discuss Latin-American culture at length with Juan Rendon and Natalie Osma, who had previously worked with them on the making-of documentary Imagining Zootopia.[18][20] Rendon and Osma both happened to be from Colombia and repeatedly drew upon their personal experiences with Colombian culture in their discussions, which caused Howard, Bush, and Miranda to focus their research on that country.[18] Rendon and Osma became the first two of several cultural experts hired by Disney Animation as consultants on the film,[18] who collectively formed what Disney called the "Colombian Cultural Trust."[20][23]

In 2018, Rendon and Osma accompanied Howard, Bush, and Miranda on a research trip to Colombia.[18] During their two weeks in the country,[20] they met with architects, chefs, and artisans to immerse themselves in the country's culture.[23] They also visited the Gabriel García Márquez foundation.[23] They visited big cities like Bogotá and Cartagena, but they found inspiration in small towns such as Salento (terrain) and Barichara (architecture).[23] In Barichara, they befriended a local tourist guide, Alejandra Espinosa Uribe, who showed them around the town, and later hired her to consult on the film's historical and cultural authenticity.[24] Espinosa Uribe was an inspiration for several aspects of the film's protagonist Mirabel, including her curly black hair, large eyeglasses, and gestures.[24] The design of Mirabel's skirt was inspired by traditional skirts woven in the Vélez area.[24]

Bush noticed that "every town we went to had a very specific personality," because of how the country's mountainous terrain divides and isolates them.[20] According to Disney fan club publication Disney twenty-three, this isolation became the key to placing the Madrigals' residence in a "remote 'encanto'—that is, a place that's 'charmed,' or spiritually blessed, a domain where magic and reality merge."[20] As Espinosa Uribe explained, Colombians are surrounded by "sacred lands that feel magical, and we coexist with them, not questioning their existence".[25]

Like most Disney Animation films, Encanto went through "many different versions" in its development, as various story ideas were explored and discarded.[26] The ideas discarded along the way include: a young modern-day woman is transported by a magical doorknob to another world;[26] Agustín was the family patriarch who discovered the encanto and personally built the Casita there;[26] the film would have been expressly set in the 1950s and featured cosmopolitan and modern fashions,[27] as well as motor vehicles and a trip to the big city where Alma had originally come from;[28] the Casita would have been an extension of only Alma's personality, rather than the entire family;[29] the film would have followed the story of multiple generations and the Casita over a 100-year timespan;[30] Mirabel was desperately trying to find her magical gift, rather than merely expressing frustration with not being granted one;[31] the colors of Mirabel's world as seen from her perspective would have reflected her emotional state throughout the first two acts, and then shifted to more realistic colors from Alma's point of view in the third act;[32] Luisa's room would have been made out of stone and appeared "boring" to reflect her sense of responsibility, but would have concealed a "secret exit" to a hidden room similar to a "theme park" where she could have fun;[33] and Isabela at one point had a "dorky" suitor named Bubo who came from the big city.[34]

The final version of the film is deliberately vague as to the timeframe in which it is set, but drew inspiration from early 20th-century Colombia.[24] After exploring the 1950s, the directors decided to shift the look of the film to the early 1900s and to use a "folkloric Colombian aesthetic".[27] At the beginning of the 20th century, the country endured the Thousand Days' War, which resulted in the populations of entire villages fleeing to save themselves as depicted in the film.[24]

As the film steadily became more complex, with an entire family to develop, multiple songs, and a rich cultural setting with a deep tradition of magical realism, Howard and Bush realized they needed a second screenwriter to help write the screenplay.[20] They selected Charise Castro Smith for her strong background in magical realism and experience with handling "real-world family dynamics."[20] According to Howard, as the plot evolved over several years, "the core of the whole film" was always the relationship between Mirabel and Alma.[20][35]

Animation

From working on Moana, Miranda knew that film's protagonist, Moana, originally had eight brothers before they were removed to streamline the film's plot.[21] As Miranda had expected from that experience, Disney Animation initially resisted moving forward with a dozen main characters for Encanto.[21] Miranda deliberately wrote the film's opening number, "The Family Madrigal", to prove to Disney Animation that it was possible to efficiently introduce such a large family and its internal dynamics to the audience.[21] In turn, Encanto was the "hardest film" to date for heads of animation Renato dos Anjos and Kira Lehtomaki because they were asked to fully develop a dozen characters, as opposed to other animated films which primarily feature two or three characters out of a large cast.[36] The animators were challenged by the directors to make Mirabel distinctively different from all prior Disney heroines; she had to be both capable and imperfect, but not merely just clumsy.[36] The Casita was inspired not only by traditional Colombian homes but films in which houses come alive, especially Beetlejuice (1988).[36]

The production team learned in their research that music, dance, and rhythm are core elements of everyday life in Colombia.[37] As a result, Encanto was the first Disney Animation film to have choreographers involved in the development process from start to finish, meaning they worked closely with the production team to develop songs, characters, and story.[36][37] This is in contrast to older films where the story was already in place by the time a choreographer was hired to consult on specific scenes.[37] For Encanto, Disney Animation initially hired African-American choreographer Jamal Sims, who insisted on immediately hiring Colombian-American dancer Kai Martinez as the film's animation reference consultant.[36][37] They worked together with a team of dancers to prepare choreography reference footage for each scene, and then gave feedback to the animators on scenes as they were animated.[36][37] They developed different dance styles for different characters; Luisa's style is reggaeton, while Mirabel's style is Cali salsa.[37]

For selection and animation of the plants and flowers that Isabela could make grow, the production team consulted with Colombian botanist Felipe Zapata. His advice allowed appropriate plants to be selected and then shown in accurate detail. The river of jacarandas and strangler figs and the cascade of sundew that Isabela produces are all based on this input. Plants in the background scenery are also realistic. These included the iconic, but now vulnerable wax palm and dramatic Cecropia trees. Economically important plants, like coffee, also appear.[38]

Disney Animation was planning to send many of its animators to Colombia starting on March 15, 2020 in preparation for the film's transition from development to production. This second research trip had to be cancelled after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The studio's animators ended up having to work remotely with the Colombian Cultural Trust; for example, Espinosa Uribe gave the animators a virtual tour of Colombia with the help of her cell phone.[24]

On June 22, 2020, Miranda confirmed on Good Morning America that he and Bush were working on an animated Disney film set in Colombia, with Bush and Byron Howard directing, and Charise Castro Smith co-directing.[39]

On June 18, 2020, the tentative title was revealed to be Encanto. The project was also confirmed to be the film Miranda was involved in, and it was reported to be about a girl in a magical family. While initial reports had said the film would be set in Brazil, Miranda stated on June 22 that it would actually be set in Colombia.[40] The same day, it was also reported that Castro Smith would be a co-director in addition to co-writing the screenplay.[40] On December 10, 2020, the project was officially confirmed at a Disney Investor Day meeting, where a clip was shown, a fall 2021 release was announced, and magical realism was referenced.[41]

Soundtrack

Main article: Encanto (soundtrack)

In June 2020, Miranda publicly revealed that he had begun to write the film's music, which would have eight original songs in both Spanish and English.[40] After the film's premiere, he disclosed that he had been writing songs for the film from the very beginning.[19] On September 8, 2021, Germaine Franco, co-composer of the songs for Coco (2017), began to score the film.[42][43][7] The soundtrack was released on November 19, 2021 and reached number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming the first Disney soundtrack since that of Frozen II (2019) to top the chart.[44] The track "We Don't Talk About Bruno" was a viral sensation. It broke various records and became one of Disney's most successful songs of all time. It topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, and marked Disney's first number-one song on the former in the 21st-century and its first-ever on the latter.[45][46]

Release and marketing

Disney held the film's world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 3, 2021,[47] and also held a Colombia premiere at the Teatro Colón in Bogotá, Colombia on November 23, 2021.[48] The film was theatrically released in the United States on November 24, 2021, in RealD 3D and Dolby Cinema.[49][50][51] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film had an exclusive 30-day theatrical run before being released on Disney+ on December 24, 2021.[52][53] The film was paired with the short film Far From the Tree.[54][55] Encanto was released in China on January 7, 2022.[56]

In October 2021, Jakks Pacific announced it would release a new line of toys for the film.[57] The new Funko Pop! figures of several characters from the film are available for pre-order and they started shipping in January 2022.[58]

For its opening weekend at the box office, Disney spent $14 million on television advertisements to promote the film, generating 1.26 billion impressions. Deadline Hollywood said the marketing failed to distinguish the film from other Disney properties, causing audience members to believe that it would be similar to Coco.[59]

Reception

Box office

As of February 8, 2022, Encanto has grossed $94.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $143.2 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $237.4 million.[1][4] Encanto was 2021's highest grossing animated film before it was surpassed by Sing 2.[60][61] Factoring in both the film's production budget and marketing expenses, along with the theaters' share of revenues, Encanto was estimated to need to gross at least $400 million worldwide to break-even.[62] Nevertheless, the film went viral over the 2021 holiday season and achieved wider commercial success after its digital release to Disney+ on December 24, 2021.[63][64][65]

In the United States and Canada, it was released alongside House of Gucci and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, and originally projected to gross $35–40 million from 3,980 theaters in its five-day opening weekend.[66] It opened nationwide on Wednesday, November 24, 2021 (the day before American Thanksgiving), and made $7.5 million on its first day, including $1.5 million from Tuesday night previews. It went on to make $40.6 million in its first five days.[67] Of the 3.7 million moviegoers who saw it, 52% were Latino and Hispanic, 51% were families, and 62% were female. Though its five-day opening gross was lower than Pixar's The Good Dinosaur ($55.4 million), which failed at the box office in 2015, Encanto had the best opening weekend for an animated film during the COVID-19 pandemic.[68] In its second weekend, it made $13.1 million, less than the second weekend results of The Good Dinosaur ($15.3 million) and Tangled (2010) ($21.6 million) but higher than The Princess and the Frog (2009) ($12.1 million).[69][70] It went on to finish in second place in its third and fourth weekends, earning $10 million and $6.5 million respectively.[71][72] In its fifth weekend, it made $1.8 million and dropped to ninth place at the box office.[73][74] In its sixth weekend, it finished in tenth place with $1.08 million.[75] It dropped out of the box office top ten in its seventh weekend, finishing eleventh with $613,501.[76]

Outside of the U.S. and Canada, it made $29.3 million from 47 markets in its opening weekend; the top countries in its first five days were France ($3.5 million), Colombia ($2.6 million), the U.K. ($2.4 million), Korea ($2.2 million) and Italy ($2.1 million).[77][78] It earned $20.7 million in its second weekend and $13.6 million in its third.[79][80] In its fourth weekend, it became Colombia's second highest-grossing animated film of all time.[81] In its fifth weekend, it crossed the $100 million mark outside the U.S. and Canada.[82] It earned $3.5 million in its sixth weekend,[83] $5.8 million in its seventh,[84] and $3.6 million in its eighth.[85] As of January 9, 2022, its largest markets are France ($18.5 million), Colombia ($10.2 million), the U.K. ($8.8 million), Spain ($7.3 million), and Japan ($6.6 million).[84]

Critical reviews

Encanto received mostly critical acclaim.[86] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 90% of 183 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.50/10. The website's critics' consensus reads, "Encanto's setting and cultural perspective are new for Disney, but the end result is the same – enchanting, beautifully animated fun for the whole family."[87] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 76 out of 100 based on 40 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[88] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an 88% positive score, with 70% saying they would definitely recommend it.[59]

Various commentators have identified intergenerational trauma as the major theme of the film.[89] Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press said, "It's only appropriate that Encanto—fueled by eight original songs by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda—turns into that most special thing of all: A triumph in every category: art, songs and heart."[90] Kristen Page-Kirby of The Washington Post gave the film 3/4 stars, praising the film's visuals, characters, and message, describing the story, "more complex than your standard fairy tale."[91] Christian Holub of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B grade, writing: "A smiling tale about familial reconciliation and learning to see your relatives for who they are rather than who you wish they were is never unwelcome."[92] Edward Porter of The Sunday Times gave the film 4/5 stars, describing it as "A deluge of clever, brightly coloured images and bouncy songs."[93] Simran Hans of The Observer also gave the film 4/5 stars; she described it as a "sparky musical".[94] John Lui of The Straits Times gave the film 3/5 stars, writing that the effort put into the movie makes "plainness interesting" and that it almost "succeeds". He also stated that the songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda as well as the visual designs help bring the movie to life.[95] Film critic Ben Travis called the film "a story with real heart."[96] John Serba of The Decider wrote Encanto is "thoroughly enjoyable, witty and intelligent, robust in its multigenerational appeal."[97]

The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw was more critical, writing that "Encanto feels like it is aspiring to exactly that sort of bland frictionless perfection that the film itself is solemnly preaching against", but said that there are a few good moments.[98] Jake Wilson of The Age gave the film 2/5 stars and criticized Smith and her team saying that "Encanto isn't a realistic story of family dysfunction but a fairytale."[99] Tara Brady of The Irish Times stated that "it always feels like a movie manufactured by a committee."[100] IndieWire's Kristen Lopez found that it is "beautiful but trite" while still acknowledging the film's stunning visuals.[101] Aparita Bhandari of The Globe and Mail wrote that Encanto is "overwrought rather than enchanting."[102]

Impact and response

The Denver Post journalist John Wenzel wrote, with Encanto alongside other 2021 films like West Side Story and Being the Ricardos, "Latino voices are having a moment in U.S. cinema, injecting a diverse set of cultures long ignored by TV, books, movies, video games, stage shows and news media."[103] Pamila Avila, writing for USA Today, underscored that Encanto is Disney's first feature with an all-Latin American cast, capturing "the complicated tug and pull between older and younger generations in Hispanic families."[104]

Billboard writer Leila Cobo said, following the success of Colombian musicians like Shakira, Maluma and J Balvin in the U.S., Colombia is "finally seen and not just heard" via Encanto. Cobo praised the film for not homogenizing all of the Latin American countries in the manner U.S. media has generally been, instead accurately depicting the culture unique to Colombia: "from accents to outfits to minute details like the hand-painted tableware, the embroidered dresses, the food, the many colors of our skin, even the animals – including the ubiquitous toucan and the yellow butterflies that are synonymous with García Márquez."[105] Johanna Ferreira of PopSugar wrote that the success of both Encanto and its soundtrack speaks to "not just the importance and significance of this type of representation in animated films, but also how movies like this are really changing how Latinx stories are being told." She stated Encanto celebrates the importance of family and respect for Latin American culture, featuring "animated stories about Latinxs written by Latinxs, with characters voiced by Latinxs, and a storyline that actually celebrates Latinxs communities rather than stereotype [Latinx]."[106]

Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times stated Encanto became "2022's first widespread cultural phenomenon", bolstered by its unique direction and music.[107] Far Out journalist Tyler Posen called the effect "Encanto-mania".[108] Various social media trends surrounding Encanto had "people posting videos of their children recognizing themselves for perhaps the first time in the movie's characters."[107] Luisa's physical appearance has been praised for representing muscular women—a departure from Disney's conventionally "feminine" depiction of female protagonists as "small and skinny".[109] As of January 23, 2022, the videos tagged with the hashtag "#encanto" have collectively amassed more than 11.5 billion views on TikTok.[110][111]

The film's characters and their dynamics have fueled a discourse among mental health specialists, many of whom reported that their clients, especially first-generation children of immigrants, "see themselves reflected" in the story of Encanto and use the film to communicate "about things that otherwise might go unsaid." Mirabel, Isabela, Luisa, Alma and Bruno have been the most discussed characters, with Bruno being associated with neurodivergent family members. Speaking to CNN, psychotherapist Kadesha Adelakun stated "there are so many layers" to Encanto, portraying issues "many families are going through."[112][113]

Jared Bush and Charise Castro Smith have expressed that they are open for a potential Disney+ series “I think it is the right thing to do, you know. I think we should all start writing our letters to Disney now and saying that’s important”, and how the streaming service could share many stories about that universe “You know, I think one of the really exciting things honestly about Disney Plus is that there is a lot of stories to tell through Disney Plus”.[118] Also Bush said Lin-Manuel Miranda is interested to create a show about Dolores “I can tell you that Lin-Manuel Miranda really wants a show about Dolores".[118]
