It’s only been a few months since Walt Disney Animation Studios last big release, but we won’t have to wait too long for the next one, as Encanto is set to open this Thanksgiving. Previously, we’d been given a brief description of what the movie will be about, and the knowledge that it would see the return to Disney of Lin-Manuel Miranda, who would be handling the film’s songs. Today we got our first real look at what Encanto will look like with its first trailer. And it looks, well, magical.
The trailer introduces us to the Madrigal family who live in Columbia in a place that is full of magic. Each member of the family has their own magical gifts. We see one woman with super strength, a boy who can communicate with animals, and somebody else capable of shapeshifting. Unfortunately, one member of the family Mirabel, has no magical abilities at all. While the new trailer keeps the specifics of the plot at bay, we know Mirabel will be the focus of the story.
The trailer also includes one of the new songs for Encanto written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. In the background of the trailer you can hear the song titled, “Colombia, Mi Encanto.” It gives the whole trailer a fun energy that makes this movie that much more worth looking forward to.
More to come…
