## Overview

*There's a little magic in all of us...almost all of us.*

The tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family's last hope.

#### Encanto

My favorite recent Disney movie (followed by Moana) is a real gem. Family dynamics, impostor syndrome, and external expectations told in a beautiful way. 2021 was a great year for movie musicals.
