Encanto follows the Madrigal family, whose enchanted house in the Colombian mountains has handed nearly every child in the family a singular gift, everyone, it seems, except one.
What is Encanto about?
The 2021 animated feature centers on Mirabel, the one Madrigal without a magical ability, growing up surrounded by relatives whose gifts range from superhuman strength to a talent for healing. When cracks begin appearing in the family's charmed home, Mirabel finds herself pulled toward answers no one else in her household seems willing to face. Directed by Byron Howard and Jared Bush, the film moves between warm domestic comedy and musical set pieces as it follows an ordinary member of an extraordinary family trying to understand what is quietly going wrong beneath the surface of a house built on wonder.
About the cast
The English-language voice cast includes Stephanie Beatriz, Maria Cecilia Botero, Wilmer Valderrama, Adassa, Diane Guerrero, Mauro Castillo, Angie Cepeda and Jessica Darrow, filling out the sprawling Madrigal household and the town around it. Between them the cast covers three generations of one family, giving the household's musical numbers and quieter conversations a lived-in, ensemble feel rather than a single lead carrying the story alone.
Context & significance
Set in Colombia and released in 2021, Encanto sits within Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Family, Fantasy and Musical territory, blending folk-inspired music with a story about generational expectation inside one household. Runtime lands at 102 minutes, a length built for a single sitting with family viewers. The production folds a Colombian setting into its visual design, giving the Madrigal house itself, its shifting rooms and staircases, a character-like presence across the film.
