They heard from Rendon and Osma that is rich in cultural diversity, with Spanish, African and Indigenous people, among many others who have come to this crossroads of Latin America. Howard and Bush had met Juan Rendon and Natalie Osma, both originally from Colombia, when they filmed a behind-the-scenes documentary on Zootopia for the network Fusion, and the four had remained friends.

The complex dynamics between large families seemed like a rich area to explore, and they realized that setting the movie in Latin America - especially Colombia, considered the crossroads of Latin America - made a lot of sense, as family is very important in Latin American cultures. This led them to a central question they wanted to explore in the film, which Howard phrased as, “How well do we truly know our families, and how well do our families know us?” They figured everyone has complicated, interesting families, and so this would be a universal experience for their story to tell. The three brainstormed, thinking about what they all had in common: family - specifically, large families. This was unique to Encanto: songwriters are not typically brought on so early in the process of creating an animated musical. Bush had collaborated with Lin-Manuel Miranda on Moana, and so Miranda was brought onto the project from the very beginning. Having each worked on musicals separately in the past - Howard directed Tangled, and Bush was screenwriter on Moana - and sharing a love of music (both are trombonists), they wanted to tackle one together. The journey that would end up taking five years, eight internal screenings, and hundreds of script drafts all started with directors Byron Howard and Jared Bush, who previously teamed up on the Oscar-winning film Zootopia. Director Byron Howard, writer and director Jared Bush, writer and co-director Charise Castro Smith, producer Yvett Merino, producer and president of Walt Disney Animation Studios Clark Spencer, associate production designer Lorelay Bové, head of animation Renato dos Anjos, head of animation Kira Lehtomaki, and animation reference consultant Kai Martinez all spoke about their part in the process of creating the film. Disney News sat in on a recent press conference where, for the first time, filmmakers shared a sneak peek into the process of making Encanto.
Set in the South American country of Colombia and featuring music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Encanto is the 60th animated feature from Walt Disney Animation Studios. A film about the complexities and interconnectedness of families, Encanto centers on the Madrigal family and their magical home, and particularly on Mirabel, the only member of her large family without a magical gift.
The time is drawing near for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ next movie, Encanto.
