The Details
Watch the new trailer for ENCANTO!
The Madrigals live in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. Each child has been blessed with a magic gift unique to them.
Well, that’s each child… except Mirabel. She is the “ordinary” one in the family. Womp womp womp. But when the family’s home is threatened, Mirabel may be the Madrigals only hope!
The Voice Cast
This morning, Disney also announced that actor John Leguizamo (ICE AGE) has joined the voice cast. He’s quoted as saying “I was so pumped to be asked to the party. Lin-Manuel [Miranda] wrote me a rap, and I flipped out! Plus, this is such a beautiful story set in Colombia. It’s a first in so many ways. The magic is enchanting, the comedy is so sharp, and the world created is irresistible.”
Leguizamo voices Bruno, Mirabel’s uncle who’s gifted with the ability to see the future. Bruno’s honest, often doomsaying predictions aren’t always well received by the rest of the family, so he disappeared long ago, becoming the uncle no one talks about.
According to Walt Disney Animation Studios’ press release on the trailer, the voice cast also includes Stephanie Beatriz as Mirabel; María Cecilia Botero as Mirabel’s grandmother Alma aka Abuela; Angie Cepeda and Wilmer Valderrama as Mirabel’s parents, Julieta and Agustín; and Diane Guererro and Jessica Darrow as Mirabel’s sisters, Isabela and Luisa. The film also features Carolina Gaitán and Mauro Castillo as Mirabel’s aunt and uncle, Pepa and Félix; and Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz and Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Mirabel’s cousins Dolores, Camilo and Antonio.
