A misfit teen from a magical family finds her own rhythm in this sweet-natured coming-of-age movie, which represents Disney’s first serious engagement with modern Latin American culture.

His grab bag of musical styles – theatre-kid belters, grandma-friendly hip hop, cross-pollinated Latin jams – gets an exuberant workout in Encanto, a sweet-natured coming-of-age movie that puts the music, dancing and culture of Latin America at the fore.

Having lost her husband, the future Abuela Madrigal flees into the Colombian mountains, where she's blessed with a magic candle and an enchanted village. Mirabel's mum, Julieta , can heal with her tasty cooking; aunt Pepa , trailed by a comical raincloud, can control the weather. Yassified older sister Isabela makes flowers and hearts bloom, middle sister Luisa possesses super-strength, and teenage cousin Camilo is a shapeshifter who hasn't decided upon his final form – a nice enough metaphor for fluid identity, and also a great vehicle for a string of animation sight gags.

It seems the only person who can help her is her mysterious uncle Bruno – voiced by the always enjoyable John Leguizamo – a crackpot loner whose visions of the future have seen him cast out from the family.
