I'm live? Oh, hi, I am the head writer here at the Ten News and I'm filling in for Bethany Van Delft today. So, I think we should talk about two things I love, movies and video games. I'm Ryan Willard. It's Tuesday, February 8th, and this is the Ten News Screen Report.

Over the last couple of months, I've watched 13 different movies. I told you, I love movies. But there's one, in particular, that was cooler than the rest. It's the movie everyone's talking about. From wanting more Luisa merch to singing "We Don't Talk About Bruno" on repeat Disney's Encanto is a major hit. And the Ten News's own Nathalie Alonso is here to tell us about some hidden surprises in the film.
Nathalie Alonso 1:00
Disney's latest animated film and Encanto tells the story of a magical family that lives in an enchanted house in the mountains of Colombia. Encanto arrived on Disney+ over the holidays. And if you're like me, you've already watched it at least once or twice, or maybe even three times. Yep, this movie is special in many ways. Not only does it feature 12 main characters, but unlike most Disney movies, there is no real villain. And one of the reasons this movie is so rewatchable is that there are new details to discover every time. Let's talk about some Encanto easter eggs, you know, fun hidden moments in the film to look out for the next time you watch it. Here are my top five. Number one, the outcast of the magical Madrigal family is Mijares Dio Bruno. At first glance, he appears to be missing from the movie posters. You were never supposed to see that. Look, if you look closely, you can spot Bruno in the background wearing a cape. Like in the movie, he's been there all along. Actually me. Number two, Mirabel may not have a gift of her own. But if you look closely at her dress, you'll see that there are symbols of all of her relatives embroidered onto her skirt. Flowers for her sister Isabella, so a sun rainbow and cloud, and animals for cousin Antonio. The rats told me everything. Number three, throughout Encanto, there are references to previous Disney movies. For example, some people have pointed out that the doors that Lisa holds up during her song Surface Pressure, remind them of the doors used to collect the screens of children in Monsters Inc. What?
Sound Bit 3:04
Do you know, it scares little kids and little monsters?
Nathalie Alonso 3:08
The bright colorful doors are also a nod to Columbian architecture. That's gonna make me way more happy than anything. Number four, one of my favorite characters from this movie is Dolores, whose magical power is enhanced hearing.
Sound Bit 3:25
The only one way about the magic issue and the reps talk in the walls.
Nathalie Alonso 3:30
Because of this loud noises really bothered her. If you pay attention, you'll spot Deloris covering her ears whenever there are fireworks or other commotions, and did you catch that she also claps with her index fingers instead of her palms to keep the volume down. Number five, butterflies are everywhere in Encanto. Amiga was dressed in the kitchen tiles on the walls in the nursery. And this is not a coincidence. Butterflies are a symbol of transformation. And yellow butterflies appear often in the novel 100 Years of Solitude by Colombian author Gabrielle Garcia Marquez, which inspired the movie. And with that, it's time to go watch Encanto again to see what else I could find. Worth a shot.

I wish I could open a magic door in my house that led to a roomful of ice cream.
Tessa Flannery 4:30
Hey, Ryan, wanna help me do the dishes?
Ryan Willard 4:33
Nope, nope. No, I do not, wrong door did you do your chores? Yeah. Good, because now we can talk about my other favorite thing. Video games. There are a bunch of games that I'm really hyped for. So here are five games that have recently come out or coming out soon. Number five, paparazzi. again where you joined the puppy paparazzi and take pictures of the coolest and cutest dogs you could find. I knew that anyway IRL, so I'm here for it. Number four riders Republic. This is the riders rip the Republic's stuffing Greg, you can bike ski, skateboard snowboard, and even rock a jetpack in this downhill racing game. My favorite part is the freestyle near you can bike off a huge jump, switch your jetpack, fly up a mountain and switch your snowboard midair for the coolest landing ever face stylish. Number three Kirby in the Forgotten Land. My favorite pink puff hero is coming to the Nintendo switch where you will undoubtedly get to vacuum up the bad guys take their powers and explore the Forgotten land which feels very similar to what I do when I cleaned my room. Number two LEGO Star Wars the Skywalker saga a young dreamer becomes a Jedi Knight. The LEGO Star Wars series is some of the best Star Wars games that have ever been made. And now we get the entire Skywalker saga in one game. A hero rises up to save the galaxy. And last but certainly not least, number one, Pokemon legends are Kious.
Sound Bit 6:26
This land is the Hisui region. And at this time, the ecology of its wild Pokemon remains unknown.
Ryan Willard 6:34
This game just came out. And there's an open-world role-playing game that reimagines the Pokemon series. There are more ways to interact with Pokemon than any game so far into our friend Carter. No, I did not preorder it, but I will hopefully be getting it for my birthday. Which you are more than welcome to give me for sad birthday. Oh, also, we got a hot tip from my friend Everett in San Diego. Everett. What do you got?
Everett 7:01
Hey, Ten News. I have a kit for Pokemon. Aki, yes, you can turn on gyro controls. If you go into game settings and turn your motion sensitivity to one gyro controls will be on which means you can move your switch and all in for you. Cool, right?
Ryan Willard 7:17
Oh, wow. Gyro controls are way better. Thank you so much ever. I appreciate that. And if you have any tips to share with us, go to thetennews.com/contact and we might just have you on the show. You never know. Did you know that Mirabel from Encanto is a Disney first? She's the first animated main character that's a girl who wears glasses. No way. I guess Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Belle all have 20/20 vision. I wear glasses so I feel seen. Alright, now let's see what else is going on. Here are your headlines. A billion-year-old black diamond will be sold at auction. It's believed to be the largest Black Diamond and is expected to be sold for over $6 million. The Black Diamond is named the Enigma because there are multiple theories about where it came from, though one of the most popular is that it came from space. A diamond contains Osbourne night, a mineral only found in meteorites, which are believed to originate from space. Black Diamonds are usually about 2.6 to 3.2 billion years old, which makes them older than dinosaurs. Wait 3.2 billion years old. I think that's how old my stepdad Larry is. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory hired its first female director, Laurie Leshan will serve as the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the first time in its 85 year history that a woman has served in that role. Lori Lession earned her master's and doctoral degrees in geochemistry from Caltech and was a member of the team that found evidence of water on the surface of Mars. Awesome. Plotly MacPaw face has eight new friends. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has finished their second annual named snowplow contests and announced the names of their new fleet. After over 22,000 ideas and over 60,000 votes, we've learned that the famous plowing myth pile face will be joined by Betty White out control salt delete the big the plow ski plow source Rex scoop dog lizard DeVos no more Mr. Nice Guy and Edward Blizzard hands though they apparently ignored my entries. Mr. Snowballer and plow now wait cow come on coming up next...
