Encanto marks Disney’s 60th animated film, and this new adventure will even feature music written by Lin-Manuel Miranda!
Disney has unveiled the first trailer for its new animated film, a musical that will feature music composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote songs for Moana and Hamilton. This marks the studio’s 60th animated movie and will include the incredible talent of Stephanie Beatriz, who can be seen in In the Heights.
Encanto takes place in Colombia and was directed by Zootopia directors Byron Howard and Jared Bush, alongside Charise Castro Smith. This film has a soundtrack entirely written by Miranda.
The film follows the Madrigal family, who live hidden in the Colombian mountains in a magical house and place called Encanto. The magic of the place blesses each child with a unique talent – from super strength to the power to heal – to all but one, Mirabel (the character played by Beatriz).
