Family is everything. Nothing is stronger than family. Do bear with me If I’m beginning to sound like a Vin Diesel meme. Because in Encanto, family really is everything.

Set in Colombia, Encanto revolves around the members of the Madrigal family, who live in a magical house and have special powers bestowed upon them by a magical candle that was gifted to family matriarch Abuela Alma Madrigal (voiced by María Cecilia Botero). Luisa (Jessica Darrow) has superstrength, Isabela (Diane Guerrero) can control flowers, Dolores (Adassa) has super hearing, Julieta’s (Angie Cepeda) cooking has healing powers, Bruno (John Leguizamo) can see the future... you get the idea, it’s a whole family of supers!
