Encanto introduces the Madrigals, a family living in a magical house in the mountains of Colombia in a place called an Encanto, which has blessed nearly all of their children with powers. One can lift pianos above their head, another can heal, another can pal around with animals. Mirabel, the family's 15-year-old daughter, has no abilities, but she becomes the family's prime hope when the magic of the Encanto is threatened. "Mirabel is a really funny, loving character who also deeply yearns for something more," In the Heights and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz, who voices the character, said in a statement. "She's also not afraid to stand up for what she knows is right — something I love and relate to very much. I'm Colombian on my father's side, and playing this role fills me with immense pride." She continued, "As a Disney kid, I'd burn through my VHS tapes and adored every single magical story that the world of Disney introduced me to. I learned in those stories that anything is possible, especially if you believe in magic and the goodness rooted deep inside us all." Rounding out the voice cast are María Cecilia Botero, Wilmer Valderrama, Adassa, Diane Guerrero, Mauro Castillo, Angie Cepeda, Jessica Darrow, Rhenzy Feliz, and Carolina Gaitan. Seventeen-year-old Grammy and Latin Grammy winner Carlos Vives performs "Colombia, Mi Encanto," the song featured in the Encanto trailer. He calls the piece "a celebration of the magical diversity of Colombia." Encanto hits theaters Nov. 24. https://ew.com/movies/encanto-trail...twitter.com&utm_term=60e70613bcdfda0001963d39
All of my family is Colombian and all of my wife's family is Colombian. As you can imagine, we are stoked.
ENCANTO's "We Don't Talk About Bruno" Topples Adele To Reach No. 1 On Billboard Hot 100 Encanto's "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is an absolute banger, becoming just the second song from a Disney animated movie to reach the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. MattIsForReal | 2/1/2022 Filed Under: "Disney" We may not talk about Bruno, but it seems a lot of people sure do love singing about him. Encanto's hit song "We Don't Talk About Bruno" has become a smash hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. It supplanted Adele's "Easy On Me" which had spent 10 weeks atop the charts. "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is just the second song from a Disney animated film to reach the No. 1 spot. The only other song from a Disney animated feature to accomplish such a feat was "A Whole New World" from the 1992 animated movie Aladdin. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and sales data. According to Billboard Charts, "Bruno" drew 34.9 million U.S. streams, 1.5 million radio airplay audience impressions and sold 12,300 downloads during the week spanning January 21-27. The ensemble song features the vocal talents of Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz and the Encanto cast. It is the first top song for each of the six main singers. It's also the first Hot 100 song for writer Lin Manuel Miranda, which is shocking considering he also wrote the songs in Hamilton. Although Bruno is by far the most popular, seven other songs from the soundtrack charted on the Top 100, including "Surface Pressure," which came in at No. 9. The film's soundtrack also spent its third week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, which tracks the commercial success of albums.
