“Representation matters” and in this case, it is also very cute!
Kenzo, 2, recently became viral for his adorable reaction to watching his lookalike in Disney’s animated film, “Encanto”.
The young lad was blown away when he discovered that Antonio, one of the characters in “Encanto”, appeared bearing an uncanny resemblance to him. His parents were quick to document his precious reaction which has since gone viral.
His mom shared how much it meant for her little boy to have found someone on screen who he could identify with. Seeing inclusive portrayal in the media is something she didn’t have growing up and she is hopeful that representation like this will empower the next generation of young black and brown children.
