Do You Like Encanto?

Wait a moment, your result is coming soon

Its biggest hit, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” made history when it recently dethroned Adele to take the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. But despite its popularity, Bruno wasn’t submitted for awards consideration by Disney because the submission deadline was 1st November – three weeks before Encanto was released.

The film revolves around Mirabel Madrigal – the only member of her extended family not to have been bestowed with a special power – as she finds herself trying to save the day when her house's magic begins to fade.

Encanto marks the first time the animation studio has set a film in South America – with the entirety of the movie taking place in a magical version of Colombia.

As such, it makes perfect sense that the voice cast is made up of actors with Colombian heritage – with the likes of Stephanie Beatriz, John Leguizamo and Diane Guerrero among those in starring roles.

John Leguizamo plays Bruno Madrigal

Who is Bruno? Mirabel's eccentric uncle, who is something of an outcast in the family – in large part because of his ability to see the future.

Chatting to RadioTimes.com about the role, Leguizamo explained: "It was a blast to play this offbeat weirdo, odd man out, the hidden relative. I mean, there's always one in a family where they don't talk about this relative, and think 'oh, this relative needs to be shut up before the holidays'."

He added: "Usually when I do animation, I do like crazy voices. This is the first time I kind of used my own voice, which was scary in its own way."

What else has John Leguizamo been in? After shooting to fame for playing Luigi in the 1993 Mario Bros. movie, Leguizamo has picked up a wealth of big-screen credits, with highlights including roles in Carlito's Way, Moulin Rouge! and John Wick. He's no stranger to voice acting, having played Sid the Sloth in the Ice Age films since 2002, while TV roles have included ER and The Kill Point.

Stephanie Beatriz plays Mirabel Madrigal

Who is Mirabel? The lead character in the film, Mirabel is unlike her family in that she has not been bestowed with a special gift – but she soon finds herself taking on a central role in trying to save her enchanted home when things go awry.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com about the role, Beatriz said: "As someone that's a huge Disney fan and was obsessed with the Disney heroines growing up, to be able to step into that line of icons is really... I'm just like, stunned, but it's very strange to be a part of it and really a dream come true.

"And I love her. I love how funny she is. Oftentimes, in these films, the sidekick characters are kind of the ones that bring the comedy, but Mirabel brings it herself, which I think is new and sort of special and different, for her to be the one that's cracking the jokes. This new Disney heroine, she comes from a long line of incredible characters, but she's something new and different and special. And I think audiences are going to really appreciate that."

What else has Stephanie Beatriz been in? Beatriz is best known for her role as Detective Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, while she has a vast number of voice credits to her name – including TV shows such as Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous and BoJack Horseman and films including Ice Age: Collision Course and The Lego Movie 2. Earlier this year she appeared as Carla in the film adaptation of In the Heights.

Diane Guerrero plays Isabela Madrigal

Who is Isabel? Mirabel's oldest sister, who is considered perfect and is the pride of the family. She has the power to make flowers bloom everywhere.

Speaking about the character with RadioTimes.com, Guerrero said: "She's an interesting character. I've been, like, trying to love her, you know, and accept her for who she is. And she's a lot like me in a lot of ways because seemingly she's sort of like the quintessential Disney princess... kind of like the perfect princess – they treat her that way anyway.

"But you see throughout the film that she's not that at all, and there's so much bubbling underneath there. And she's not perfect, because that doesn't really exist. But I feel like you see a lot of anger underneath all of that, she's always rolling her eyes and that's also a sign for someone who is unhappy even though they seem perfect.

"And so I like that you get to see her sort of break away from that and sing this incredible song with Mirabel and get to actually hug it out and really feel for her sister. And that's the power of honesty, you know?"

What else has Diane Guerrero been in? Guerrero achieved fame with her recurring roles as Maritza Ramos on Orange Is the New Black and Lina Santillan on Jane the Virgin, while she's also had main roles on Superior Donuts and most notably Doom Patrol – in which she leads the cast as Jane.
