Do you ever feel like you don’t belong to a family or in this world where everyone else is talented in the things they do? Maybe that’s how most of us feel about ourselves. And that’s why Disney’s animated movie, “Encanto” lets us know that we all are perfect in our own ways. We all have our own magic which makes us unique.

Directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard (“Zootopia”) and co-directed by Charise Castro Smith (”Raya and the Last Dragon”), “Encanto” was released on 24 November 2021. “Encanto” is a Colombian magical realist tale about the Madrigal family and their house named ‘Casita’. Casita is alive and made of magic. It talks by moving its tiles, window shutters and helping the things in the house to keep in order.

In addition, Casita also has a tradition. When each Madrigal comes of age, they are gifted a magical ability and a door to a grand bedroom that matches that of their newfound magic. This tradition started when the grandmother Abuela (María Cecilia Botero) and her family fled the violence of their village, survived a tragedy, and in their worst moment possible they found a miracle; a candle that never burns out. The whole village highly respects Mirabel’s family, because they choose to use their magic for the good of the community.
