ENCANTO, is the tale of an extraordinary family, The Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a magical house, in a wondrous charmed and quite vibrant town called Encanto.

Mirabel is an ordinary 15-year-old who’s struggling to find her place in her family. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope. The voice cast also includes María Cecilia Botero, Wilmer Valderrama, Adassa, Diane Guerrero, Mauro Castillo, Angie Cepeda, Jessica Darrow, Rhenzy Feliz and Carolina Gaitan.
