'Encanto' Fans Disappointed That the Oscars Changed 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' for Live Show

Children Up Late
Some viewers groaned that they had gone out of their way to let their children stay up late for this performance, only to find that it was not really tailored for kids.
Synergy
Others complained that the live performance had too many alterations for the sake of tying it into the Oscars and hyping up the event. They felt like it was a great opportunity to do a live rendition with the original cast and the whole world watching.
Up Late
Children aside, some fans said that they wouldn't have bothered staying up late themselves had they known that the performance would be more about the Oscars than Encanto itself.
Spanish Speakers
This song appeals to a bilingual audience, and even Spanish speakers had their fair share of complaints about this performance. This tweet roughly translates to say that the live rendition put too much focus on guests like Megan Thee Stallion and not enough on the original movie cast.
Best Parts
It turns out that, for many fans, the Camilo and Dolores verses of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" are the best parts of the song.
Target Audience
Fans were extremely puzzled by the choice to include these guest stars in a Disney song. They wondered who it was supposed to appeal to.
Megan Stans
Finally, Megan Thee Stallion has a dedicated and active fandom on social media, so there were still plenty of great reviews of this performance to go around.
