Encanto tells 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 with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—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.

According to the Illuminerdi, actress Stephanie Beatriz, will be playing the main character, “Maribel”.  She is best known for playing Detective Rosa Diaz in the NBC comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine.  She has also provided her voice to a number of animated movies & shows including “Ice Age: Collision Course”, “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part”, “Ducktales”, “Bob’s Burgers” and “Elena of Alavor”.

Recently The DisInsider revealed details on the character: The main character of the film will be a 15-year-old girl named Maribel who is described as a “lovable, funny, fallible, utterly human protagonist”. She uses her humor to cover up struggles with her self-worth. She is a true comedienne, akin to Lucille Ball. Maribel will also be the narrator of the film.

We are excited to see what this new animated film brings and it is promising a great message as well as new songs by Emmy, GRAMMY and Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. Stay tuned for more on this up and coming film.
