Disney has released a new trailer for its upcoming animated feature, Encanto, which tells the story 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."
Stephanie Beatriz voices 15-year-old Mirabel, the only child without a unique gift who’s struggling to find her place in her family. She'll be joined by María Cecilia Botero as Mirabel’s grandmother Alma, aka Abuela; Angie Cepeda and Wilmer Valderrama as Mirabel’s parents, Julieta and Agustín; and Diane Guererro and Jessica Darrow as Mirabel’s sisters, Isabela and Luisa.
Disney has also announced that John Leguizamo (Ice Age) has joined the cast as Mirabel's Uncle Bruno. “I was so pumped to be asked to the party,” said the actor. “Lin-Manuel [Miranda] wrote me a rap, and I flipped out! Plus, this is such a beautiful story set in Colombia. It's a first in so many ways. The magic is enchanting, the comedy is so sharp, and the world created is irresistible.”
Check out the trailer below along with a new poster.
The movie features all-new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Moana), and is directed by Byron Howard (Zootopia, Tangled) and Jared Bush (co-director Zootopia).
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Encanto opens in theaters November 24, 2021.
