What happens when you live in a family with physical and spiritual gifts and you don’t have one ? That’s the story of Disney’s Encanto. Here’s the official synopsis for the film:
Encanto, the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The all-new original film features the voice of Stephanie Beatriz as Mirabel, an ordinary 15-year-old who’s struggling to find her place in her family.
In the film, the magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope. The voice cast also includes María Cecilia Botero, Wilmer Valderrama, Adassa, Diane Guerrero, Mauro Castillo, Angie Cepeda, Jessica Darrow, Rhenzy Feliz and Carolina Gaitan.
The film also features brand new music from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Carlos Vives. Byron Howard, and Charise Castro Smith all shared directing duties. Bush and Castro Smith handled the screenplay.
Encanto releases in theaters this November 24th, 2021.
