    You'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard of Encanto, the animated Disney hit released on Disney+ in November of 2021. Encanto swiftly followed in the footsteps of Frozen and Moana to become a beloved film for kids and grown-ups alike, thanks to its sweet story about familial love and catchy soundtrack. The joy of Encanto comes in part from its all-star cast, a talented group of Colombian superstars and Latin American icons you'll no doubt recognize from past high-profile projects.

    The saga of the family Madrigal is set in rural Colombia and features songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Each member of the family Madrigal boasts a magical power, which they use to benefit their town. When the magic is threatened, the one grandchild without powers, Mirabel, sets out to save her family and discovers several hidden secrets. Here's your guide to the cast and characters of Encanto.

    Stephanie Beatriz as Mirabel Madrigal

    Our heroine Mirabel is the member of the family Madrigal without powers. Despite being different, she's still dedicated to helping her family and their town, though she grapples with her self-esteem. Beatriz is best known for playing tough, monotone-voiced cop Rosa Diaz on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and she starred in the musical In the Heights last year. She's also no stranger to voiceover work, with roles in Bob's Burgers, Q-Force, and Bojack Horseman.

    Golden child Isabela has the power to bloom flowers out of thin air, a power she explores in her song "What Else Can I Do?" She also Mirabel's eldest sister, and the two butt heads quite often. Guerrero has starred on several hit TV shows including Jane the Virgin, Orange is the New Black, and Doom Patrol. She's also written a book about growing up undocumented, called In the Country We Love: My Family Divided.

His power, the ability to tell the future, has left him alienated from the town, but he may be closer than anyone knows. Leguizamo has a decades-long career in Hollywood, starring in films and shows including Romeo + Juliet, the Ice Age franchise, and the miniseries When They See Us. He also received a Special Tony Award in 2018 for his one-man shows, including Spic-O-Rama and Latin History for Morons.

Gaitán is a popular Colombian actress who has starred in shows including Celia, Sin Senos Sí Hay Paraíso, and Netflix's Narcos. She was also an uncredited background singer on The Greatest Showman's ballad "This Is Me."
