Disney's Encanto is filled with incredible details, as the animated outfits secretly tease each character's powers. The story of the Madrigal family's abilities began with tragedy, but it proved to be the beginning of a new era for the lineage.

This included getting a unique ability and specialized room, and even their clothes helped reveal what each person could do.

Encanto uses action, story, and musical numbers to explore the many unique abilities of the Madrigals.
