A song that you probably haven't been able to avoid recently is the chart-topping 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' from Disney's smash hit Encanto.
What you might not know, however, is that the song's cinematography is firmly placed in the world of attractions, with theme park dark rides acting as the inspiration for the layout.
Disney Animation revealed this little snippet, posting a short video showing the song's creation. To create a sense of live performance, the animation team, led by Tyler Kupferer, moved the viewer through the story in a carefully crafted space, just like that of a top-level dark ride attraction.

The resulting post has led to outcries from the Disney fanbase for a new Encanto dark ride. On top of that, it was only a couple of weeks ago that Josh Gad - the voice of Frozen's Olaf - made the call for an entire Colombia attraction at Epcot with a full Encanto ride-through attraction.
Whether or not an Encanto dark ride will come to fruition remains to be seen, but for now, why not give the performance a brand-new look with a dark ride perspective? Coming to a Disney park near you soon?
