After the surprising rise and appallingly steady excellence of The Simpsons’ first decade, many long-time supporters felt the show would have gone out on top if it ended around 2001-2002. The late 1990s era was hit with a traumatic loss with the death of comic genius Phil Hartman. After a pay dispute, voice actress Maggie Roswell left from 1999 to 2002, resulting in the death of the Maude Flanders in the episode “Alone Again, Natura-Diddily.” But the first cracks in the series’ “Golden Age” appeared when Principal Skinner was redacted and retrofitted for “The Principal and the Pauper,” from season 9. It was seen as a major copout.
With Beavis and Butt-Head amping up cartoons on MTV, Fox had a new dangerous animated show on the block, Family Guy. But with every breakthrough, South Park would point out how “The Simpsons already did it.” Knowing this, The Simpsons softened the sharp-edged animation (moving...

Surrounded by mountains, a hidden village. Within it a house, occupied by gifted individuals. They are the family Madrigal. They are magical.
They aren't though. Indeed, though enchanting in a beautifully animated Latin-American musical, they are catchy, carefully constructed, complex. The film itself has somewhere around six credited writers, including director(s) Jared Bush, Byron Howard, and co-director Charise Castro Smith. Add Jason Hand whose animation credits include many of the films just named, Nancy Kruse who shares some too, as well as Wreck-It Ralph and also his wrecking of the internet, and one of the bigger influences, Lin-Manuel Miranda.
You'd know it even if it weren't written, his songwriting style is distinctive. The staccato rap patter bubbles in crisp batter flavourful crunch around the meaty chorus. The soaring florid. Borrowing here there and everywhere homage is not mirage....
