Encanto
Jared Bush and Byron Howard
Synopsis
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—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.
Cinema Atlas Connection
We wanted to find a magical realism style of film-making, but that was also very emotionally honest. So we looked at films like 'Like Water for Chocolate' and 'Pan's Labyrinth' and 'Amelie' for the idea of magic that is intertwined with the everyday.
