Encanto

It begins with a familiar Latin beat as a blue butterfly sits on a blade of grass with flowers all around flies into the sky. Then, the butterfly flies towards an illuminated two story house with the majestic hills of Colombia. Viewers experience foreshadowing as they see a rainbow.

Per Disney: Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” tells 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.

“ENCANTO FEATURES THE DANGEROUSLY WONDERFUL CHAOS OF FAMILY” AND CONTAINS ELEMENTS OF “MAGICAL REALISM.
