Encanto 2 Will Come After Movie's Disney Theme Park Ride, Jokes Miranda
Lin-Manuel Miranda wants a Disney theme-park attraction before Encanto 2. The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright behind Hamilton wrote lyrics for a couple of recent animated Disney movies: 2016's Moana, and 2021's Encanto. Though the latter underperformed at the box office for Disney, it found new life on Disney+ and went on to become one of the studio's biggest hits in recent memory. Encanto was nominated for three Oscars at this past Academy Awards, taking home the award for Best Animated Feature Film.
Encanto follows the 15-year-old Mirabel Madrigal (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz), the only member of her multigenerational Colombian family who did not receive a magical gift after the family matriarch, Abuela Alma (voiced by María Cecilia Botero), was blessed by a miracle many years ago. When Mirabel discovers the family's magical abilities are under threat, she takes it upon herself to save them. Encanto also features the vocal talents of John Leguizamo, Mauro Castillo, Jessica Darrow, Angie Cepeda, Carolina Gaitán, Diane Guerrero, and Wilmer Valderrama. Despite being a massive hit since releasing on Disney+ December 24, a sequel has yet to be officially announced.
