Warning: This article contains spoilers for Encanto.

Disney’s newest animated film, Encanto, features eight enchanting songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a spellbinding score by Germaine Franco. The music brings to life the magical Madrigal family, each member of which (except the plucky Mirabel) has a special power given by their ‘miracle.’ When the miracle is in peril, only Mirabel can save it. Alongside the vibrant visuals and charming cast, the Encanto soundtrack creates a sensational 60th addition to Walt Disney Studios.

While many of Disney's recent animated ventures have veered away from the musical side of things, the strongest installments of this side of the franchise tend to be those with songs within them, and Encanto proves why this is the case — a fact that is perhaps unsurprisingly given that Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda made the musical. Though the film would have still tugged at heartstrings had it been without such an expansive soundtrack, each song provides a little something special to Encanto, adding countless memorable moments to the family-centric adventure.
