The colorful film debuted in theaters last November and pulled itself up to a solid $95 million domestic gross. However, it really reached audiences through streaming; Encanto debuted on Disney+ in December and blew up from there. Now, amid endless fan creations, a record-breaking soundtrack, and awards love, Disney is interested in turning Encanto into a proper franchise.
Encanto centers on the Madrigal family and their magical house. Generation after generation, the house has bestowed gifts on each member of the family, with the exception of one. Mirabel was the only person to come away from her special ceremony without a gift, making her the Madrigal's black sheep. Years later, when the casita begins to lose its magic, Mirabel steps up to solve the mystery and learns she might be the only one who actually can.
