Encanto (2021)

In Colombia, there is a village protected by a magical charm, or “Encanto”. The Madrigal family lives there, each of them possessing a unique superhuman ability, except for Mirabel, who never got a gift on the day she came of age. While she tries to keep her chin up, her lack of a gift bothers her. Soon, the Madrigal house (“Casita”) begins to crack, and the family’s powers go out of control. Mirabel takes it upon herself to fix things.

Mirabel seeks out her uncle Bruno, who went into exile because he had the power of seeing visions of the future, and they always made people unhappy. He had a vision that Mirabel was standing in front of the Casita as it began to break down, leading them to believe that Mirabel is the cause of the Encanto failing. After Mirabel tries to fix things with her family, including Isabela since they always had an intense rivalry, Abuela Alma blames Mirabel for the family being unable to control their powers and for the house coming down, but Mirabel says that it is Alma’s own fault for putting pressure on the family to be perfect. This is what causes the Casita to completely collapse and come down. Mirabel runs away, thinking it really was her fault.

Alma finds Mirabel at the spot where she lost her husband and where the magic of the Encanto came to life. She admits that she lost sight of what really made her family special in trying to maintain their perfect image. After they reconcile, Bruno also returns to the family. With help from the villagers, the Madrigals rebuild the Casita, and when Mirabel places the new doorknob as the final piece, the magic returns.
