What is Encanto about?
Encanto tells the story of the Madrigals, an incredible family full of unique powers who lives in a magical house in a village near the Colombian mountains called Encanto. Because of Encanto, each member of the family wields special abilities beyond imagination. But when the family’s magic is in danger, Mirabel — the only ordinary family member — realizes that she might be her loved ones’ best hope for saving the magic.

Encanto also features original songs by Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, who memorably wrote original songs for Disney’s Moana. Plus, it includes the voice talent of Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Stephanie Beatriz as Mirabel.
