Magic, a beautiful united family, magnificent landscapes and new songs that will have us singing endlessly... Disney Studios' animated film has been a hit the world over! This Friday, November 3, you can rediscover Encanto, the latest from directors Byron Howard (Zootopie, Rapunzel) and Jared Bush (Zootopie), from 9:10pm on M6 .
What would you do if your whole family had magical powers... except you? For Christmas, we're off to Colombia to meet the Madrigal family and, above all, Mirabel, a teenager who feels very different from her brothers and sisters.
With its fabulous scenery, vibrant colors and lively music, Encanto promises to be a wonderful cinema experience. This new film also features a soundtrack by Lin Manuel Miranda, the brilliant composer behindHamilton and Vaiana, the legend of the end of the world.
And who better to dub Colombian characters than a Colombian? No one could. That's why the dubbing team includes chef Juan Arbelaez, who plays Agustín. But also José Garcia in the role of Bruno. Camille Timmerman gives her voice to Mirabel.

Allhave been givena special aptitude, except for young Mirabel (Camille Timmerman), a teenager in her early teens. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding Encanto is in danger, she realizes that, as the only ordinary child in this extraordinary family, she could well be their last hope...
Our review
Disney has created a beautiful animated film that breaks with the formats we're used to. There are no princesses and knights, just a healthy dose of magic and love... family love! Beneath this adventure lies a lovely lesson on family ties, acceptance of others and of oneself, self-confidence and one's place in the family.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the film's change of style: there are no hits à la Libérée, Délivrée here: Lin Manuel Miranda signs a real musical, with Latin-sounding songs, and narrative tensions that give these songs unexpected power.
Of course, the drawings and animation are even more incredible: the textures of the clothes and hair are true works of art, and the beauty of the graphics is enough to make us want to see it again!
