Disney fans might have been surprised or disappointed when the popularĀ EncantoĀ song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” was not nominated by composer Lin-Manuel Miranda for the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 94th Academy Awards, but they may have been hoping that the Walt Disney Animation Studios movie Encanto would prevail with its Oscar nominee anyway! The EncantoĀ original song “Dos Oruguitas” has not won the Academy Award for Best Original Song after all; even though the movie won Best Animated Feature Film, it lost out in the song category, and “No Time to Die” won!

āDos Oruguitasā from EncantoĀ would not have been most Disney fan’s choice for an Oscar nomination; the sad song tells the story of Abuela and her deceased husband. Composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the original songs forĀ Encanto, specifically chose “Dos Oruguitas” because it fits the overarching story of the Disney movie more than other songs on the soundtrack.

However, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” broke records practically everywhere, going viral in its success and even surpassing Disney hits like “Let It Go” and “A Whole New World”. It was also performed live at the Oscars tonight by the originalĀ EncantoĀ cast — or, at least, part of the cast!
EncantoĀ voice actors Adassa (who voiced Dolores Madrigal in the Madrigal family),Ā Stephanie Beatriz (who voiced Mirabel Madrigal), Mauro Castillo (who voiced Felix Madrigal), Carolina GaitĆ”n (who voiced Pepa Madrigal), and Diane Guerrero (who voiced Isabela Madrigal) all performed. So did Latin pop stars Becky G and Luis Fonsi, who is best known for the song “Despacito”!
