The Disney film, inspired by Colombian culture, features recognized Latin voices such as the singer Maluma
“Encanto” tells the story of the Madrigal, a family with a gift, who lives in the mountains of Colombia, and who throughout the plot will ensure its preservation. To do this, Mirabel, the main character, must fight against the fate that her uncle Bruno predicted: an uncertain future in which the magic of the enclave in which they reside could be lost forever.
The production is full of references to Colombian culture, such as the yellow butterflies that evoke the novels of Gabriel García Márquez; traditional clothing such as espadrilles, vueltiaos hats and ruanas -typical poncho-; and animals of the local fauna such as the chigüiro, the largest rodent in the world, or the jaguar.
