Disney’s Encanto Trailer & Poster: A Woman Tries To Save Her Magic House

The new trailer for Disney’s Encanto shows off more of the magical world of Casa Madrigal. The 60th film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Encanto has become a major milestone for the company, which has been producing animated features since Snow White in 1937. The film will premiere in theaters this Thanksgiving, opening on November 24, 2021. Encanto will stream on Disney+ just 30 days later on Christmas Eve.

Encanto will tell the tale of the Colombian family the Madrigal’s, a group of magical beings who live in an enchanted house. As they grow up, every Madrigal develops their own particular magical skill, including prodigious strength, shape-shifting, and talking to animals. Unfortunately for the lead character Mirabel, it seems that she is past the age of getting her skill and she may be stuck being mundane forever, creating a divide between her and her family.

On their Twitter, Disney debuted the brand new trailer, which details more of the plot fans will be able to expect in the upcoming film. The previous trailer set up the magical characters of Casa Madrigal and explored the grounds, but now Disney is giving a glimpse of the world beyond. When the magic of the Madrigals is under threat and her family begins to lose their power, it is up to Mirabel to harness the magic of the world around them and save their family. Check out the new trailer below:

Encanto was directed by Byron Howard (Zootopia, Tangled), Jared Bush (Zootopia, Moana), and Charise Castro Smith (Raya and the Last Dragon) from a screenplay by Bush and Smith with songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Mirabel will be played by Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Stephanie Beatriz, who appeared in In the Heights, another 2021 Latinx musical. The rest of the cast includes Diane Guerrero (Orange Is The New Black) as Mirabel’s sister Isabela, Wilmer Valderrama (That ’70s Show) as her father Agustín, and Rhenzy Feliz (Runaways) as her cousin Camilo.

The one thing neither trailer for Encanto really shows off is the music by Lin-Manuel Miranda. So far, the only track they’ve shared at all is the title song “Encanto.” It will be interesting to see if the film is a full-tilt musical like the original The Little Mermaid (Miranda is also writing songs for the live-action Little Mermaid), or more of a hybrid like Pixar’s Coco, which was about music performance and featured songs in key plot moments, but wasn’t a full musical through the entire run time.
