Encanto: A Timeframe Change Drastically Altered The Story
Disney's Encanto was once a very different animated story, and a timeframe change became a significant alteration for the Madrigal family. Encanto isn't like Disney's other animated films.

In the movie, most of the Madrigal family members get magical powers to help their little village. For instance, Bruno Madrigal (John Leguizamo) can see visions of the future, though the news isn't usually what people want to hear. However, Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz) doesn't get a magical power, which makes her even more determined to figure out what's causing the cracks in the family's enchanted home.

The house is just as much of a character as the magical Madrigal family members, and it also serves as a barometer for how the family is doing. As the family falls apart in the film, Casita literally falls apart. However, Mirabel leads the construction of a new Casita in the end, reuniting the Madrigals with their magical house.
