Encanto: The Sing Along Film Concert at Buell Theatre

Encanto is a 2021 Disney award-winning animated film with songs and characters that remind you of love and family. The animated film is based on the eccentric and colorful Colombian culture with the evident representation of diverse ethnic groups existing in the culturally rich region. The production and background were carefully developed so that the culture and history were as accurate as possible regarding people, design, and architecture.

After the debut of Encanto in theaters on November 24, the musical masterpiece "Encanto" became the first movie soundtrack since 2019 to reach No. 1 on the Billboard charts earlier that month. The iconic "We Don't Talk About Bruno," composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, became the highest top-charting song from a Disney animated film in more than 26 years, surpassing even the significant pop-culture Disney song "Let It Go." The musical scores of the film were composed by American film composer, conductor, and songwriter Germaine Franco, who was nominated for a Golden Globe, an SCL Award, an Annie Award, and an Academy Award for Best Original Score in her work on "Encanto." She is also the first woman to score a Disney animated feature film and treaded as a history-making Oscar nominee.

The film is a warm celebration of family and the generational culture of love and acceptance portrayed by the extraordinary protagonist's family, the Madrigals. It became the most successful animated film at the box office during the pandemic and sold over $223 million ticket sales worldwide. Rich in culture, music, magic, and a heart-warming story that will surely bring out tears, joy, and love for generations to come.
