Baftas: Encanto wins best animated film award
We might not talk about Bruno, but EVERYONE'S talking about Encanto, as it won best animated film at the Baftas last night!
The hugely popular film about a magical family in Colombia has been a hit ever since its cinema release in 2021, and only grew in popularity when it was added to streaming platform Disney+.
It features Disney's first ever female lead to wear glasses, Mirabel Madrigal. 12-year-old Lowri fan who campaigned for more glasses-wearing representation was invited to the awards ceremony and watched it win at the Royal Albert Hall.
When she arrived, she told the 麻豆官网首页入口: "I'm just so honoured that I can be here for one, and I got invited by the director of Encanto which is absolutely crazy and I'm just so blessed."
Just after saying that, who turned up to surprise her? None other than director Jared Bush himself!
Lowri was incredibly grateful to Jared for the invite, as well as for the creation of Mirabel: "Thank you so much for creating this wonderful character who I know millions of people can relate to, including myself."
"I'm just so proud of them and I just knew it in my bones... I'm so thrilled for them," she said after the Encanto team won its iconic Bafta mask.
With the Oscars coming up on 28 March, all eyes will be on Encanto to see if it wins another trophy.
It's up against Luca and Raya and the Last Dragon, so it's going to be hotly contested!
However, fan favourite We Don't Talk About Bruno won't be up for best original song, despite it hitting number one in the charts in the UK and US.
This is because the Oscars' submission deadline for this category was 1 November, but Encanto wasn't released until three weeks later.
Do you think Encanto can go on to take home the Oscar, too? Let us know in the comments!
