The river of jacarandas and strangler figs and the cascade of sundew that Isabela produces are all based on this input. I've written him as a weasel and a chicken… but now behold… our enthusiastic… but clueless toucan, Pico! The next day, she talks to her super-strong older sister Luisa, who confesses to feeling overwhelmed by her near-constant obligations. Jessica Darrow as Luisa Madrigal: Mirabel's second oldest sister, who is 19, has superhuman strength and is the tallest of the family.

According to Disney fan club publication Disney twenty-three, this isolation became the key to placing the Madrigals' residence in a "remote 'encanto'—that is, a place that's 'charmed', or spiritually blessed, a domain where magic and reality merge". Rhenzy Feliz as Camilo Madrigal: Pepa and Félix's 15-year-old son, [6] Dolores and Antonio's brother, and Mirabel's cousin who can shapeshift. María Cecilia Botero as Abuela Alma Madrigal: Mirabel's 75-year-old grandmother and the family matriarch.Many members of the Madrigal family could only be bought in more costly merchandise of the entire family. This inexact replica also alows us to see multiple extra little interactions/scenes with the characters, which was really fun.

The ideas discarded along the way include: a young modern-day woman is transported by a magical doorknob to another world; [24] :17 Agustín was the family patriarch who discovered Encanto and personally built Casita there; [24] :17 the film would have been expressly set in the 1950s and featured cosmopolitan and modern fashions, [24] :22 as well as motor vehicles and a trip to the big city where Alma had originally come from; [24] :146 Casita was an extension of only Alma's personality, rather than the entire family; [24] :41 the film would have followed the story of multiple generations and Casita over a 100-year timespan; [24] :49 Mirabel was desperately trying to find her magical gift, rather than merely expressing frustration with not being granted one; [24] :71 the colors of Mirabel's world as seen from her perspective would have reflected her emotional state as she narrated the first two acts, and then changed over to more realistic colors when the film shifted to Alma's point of view in the third act; [24] :76 Luisa's room would have been made out of stone and appeared "boring" to reflect her sense of responsibility, but would have concealed a "secret exit" to a hidden room similar to a "theme park" where she could have fun; [24] :94 and Isabela at one point had a "dorky" suitor named Bubo who came from the big city. Film 's Josh Spiegel thought Encanto included a mixture of formulaic aspects from many of the previous Disney and Pixar films, and failed to make them unnoticeable. Encanto tuvo su último preestreno antes de su llegada a los cines de Colombia"[ Encanto had its last preview before its arrival in Colombian cinemas]. Writing for The Guardian, Simran Hans found the awareness of culturally unique generational trauma and displacement intriguing and surprising. Alessandro Jacomini and Daniel Rice—directors of cinematography, lighting—stated this use "would amplify, exaggerate, and distort perception, which is very in line with Mirabel's point of view as a narrator".

Disney held the film's world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on November 3, 2021, [59] and also held a Colombia premiere at the Teatro Colón in Bogotá, Colombia on November 23, 2021.
