Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift—from super strength to the power to heal. Well, except once child: Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.

- Disenchanted
A sequel to the 2007 film Enchanted, this movie is set 15 years after Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey) wed.

Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than a dragon to save the world—it’s going to take trust and teamwork as well.
