Disney is known for always making amazing movies, but this might just be my favorite. On Nov. 24, 2021, Disney released “Encanto,” an animated movie about a family in Columbia which receives magical powers. Mirabel, the youngest child, doesn’t receive magical powers, but it’s up to her to save her family and their powers.

 One of the things that makes “Encanto” such a good movie is the soundtrack written by Lin Manuel Miranda, the writer of “Hamilton.” During the writing process, Miranda and his filmmaking team took a trip to Colum bia in order to study the music and culture so that they could write the best music possible. But it’s not just the soundtrack that makes this movie great.

The plot and characters introduced in the movie make it even better. In the movie, we meet Mirabel’s huge and loving family. They are introduced with the song “The Family Madrigal,” where we get to know all of her cousins, aunts, uncles, and siblings and learn about their magical powers. Stephanie Beatriz, a talented actress, does the voice-over for Mirabel. Encanto is available for streaming on Disney+. It is truly a great movie and I believe that you should watch it.
