Encanto is one of the latest to join the long line of Disney theatrical masterpieces. The Byron Howard and Jared Bush-directed musical fantasy comedy was released in November 2021 and received an overwhelmingly positive reaction. The Encanto refers to a charming place hidden within the mountains of Colombia. And here is where the Madrigal family lives, with nearly each blessed with mystical power, some fantastical and some more practical. 11 members make up this divinely gifted family that live harmoniously in an equally wonderful town.
However, when the magic that lives in the town is under threat and in imminent danger, it’s up to Mirabel, an ordinary daughter with no mystical powers, to rescue the day and protect the home they love. Join us as we learn more about this charmed family while discovering where they rank from oldest to youngest!
