Our first idea of what Camilo might look like transforming into Bruno was created by superstar Animator Valentin Amador! #Bruno #7FOOTFRAME #Encanto @Lin_Manuel @RhenzyFeliz

We considered an after credit joke to end the movie, but ultimately felt going out on the emotion and joy of the family coming back together was the way to go. but the hilarious @darrinbutters animated it!! So here you go! THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR WATCHING WITH US!! #ENCANTO

Today’s #Encanto watch party will celebrate some amazing art. BUT for those who dream of joining animation but worry your art isn’t good enough… IT IS. Never hold yourself back because you assume you don’t belong. I type, my art is stick figures. You’re already better than me.🦋

The scene with Antonio was part of @iamstephbeatz’s audition. And it melted our hearts. She ALSO sang a song for that audition, ‘You’re Welcome’ and it was so endearing that amazing animator Tony Smeed brought it to life! #encanto @Lin_Manuel @TheRock @hhgarcia41 @DisneyAnimation

Many asked about the birth order of the original triplets: Julieta’s oldest, healing helps everyone and she’s most responsible, Pepa’s “the middle child” - more emotional because Julieta was the “adult”, Bruno is the baby… making his departure all the more tragic.⚕️🌤⏳ #encanto

Here’s an answer to a question I’ve been asked A LOT - “how tall is Mirabel?!” Official answer: 5’2” - all other characters’ heights are relative to hers, so that’s all I got… except Bruno who has, you know, a seven foot frame and 🐀🐀🐀 along his back. #Encanto

Glad you noticed this! The only people singing are the ones Mirabel asked about Bruno. She didn’t ask Agustín to avoid a parent conversation. BUT Agustín always wants to fit in with the Madrigals, so he dances anyway, trying to copy Félix, but not quite as well.🤣 #Encanto.

Love when people feel the warmth of the relationship between Antonio and Mirabel. He’s the ONLY member of the family born AFTER Mirabel didn’t get her “gift” - as a result, he’s only ever known her as his wonderful, empathetic cousin who he loves unconditionally.🐆❤️ #Encanto.
I love that in @EncantoMovie Antonio & Mirabelle are such a dream team. She walks Him to his door, and He walks her to hers… and I’m not fine! 😭😭.I love this so much @thejaredbush ❤️ He is the only one that saw Mirabelle as a hero the whole time! @iamstephbeatz @officialravicc

Last tweet: I promised a secret if you found it. There are TWO miracles in #Encanto: Abuela’s, born of love for family, embodied by her candle, flame-colored magic, the 2nd: Mirabel’s, born of the same, embodied in casita, its colors… everyone’s. What’s next…I hope we’ll see.🦋

We don’t usually build side characters with belly buttons, because it’s complexity that’s typically hidden. But our hilarious anim and tech anim teams suggested Osvaldo’s gut should pop his shirt. And we had to allocate funds. In other words, #Encanto had a belly button budget.💫

I get a lot of questions about Easter Eggs in #Encanto. One of my favorites was in the first piece of Encanto animation ever created. If you look closely at Bruno’s tower… you can see green flashes coming from his visions inside. 🐀⏳.
This Fall, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ all-new film Encanto takes you to Colombia, where a magical family live in a magical home. Directed by Byron Howard and Jared Bush, co-directed and co-written by Charise Castro Smith, and music written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

@thejaredbush @JohnLeguizamo @CGaitanOficial @angiecepedaj @DisneyAnimation Now I gotta know… who’s the oldest Isabela or Dolores? (Cause they’re the same age) And is Camilo older than Mirabel or is it the other way around?(Cause they are also the same age).

2/3 Camilo (15), “theater kid” trying on personas, he’s barely older than Mirabel (15) so when she DIDN’T get a gift after he DID it was shocking & youngest, Antonio (5) with Mirabel in nursery his whole life, hence closeness & first ceremony since Mirabel’s hence nerves.#encanto.
