All of the cut songs in the Disney hit Encanto were sung by the main character Mirabel. The latest animated release from the famed animation company did not fare well during the pandemic-restricted box office but ended up being one of its biggest hits on the Disney+ streaming service with over 1.4 billion views. The Lin-Manuel Miranda-penned soundtrack proved just as popular with audiences, especially with its smash hit song, «We Don't Talk About Bruno,» which topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart and Billboard's Global 200 chart. Encanto is currently nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 94th Annual Academy Awards.

The film opens with Abuela and her husband fleeing a violent conflict. Abuela's husband is killed, but the Madrigal matriarch has an enchanted candle that transforms an enclosed region in the mountains of Colombia and creates a magical sentient house that provides a safe haven for lost travelers. The family-friendly musical follows Mirabel Madrigal, Abuela's cheerful granddaughter who has not received a supernatural power, which has been granted to every other member of her family by Abuela's miracle. When cracks start to form throughout the house, threatening the magic that protects the entire village, Mirabel takes it upon herself to find out why, leading her to her long-lost uncle Bruno, and the key to saving her family.
