Set in the mountains of Colombia, the musical – soundtracked Lin-Manuel Miranda earworms – tells the story of the Madrigal family. Each member of the clan possesses a magical power bestowed upon them, from superhuman strength to being able to control the weather with their mood.
That is except for 15-year-old Mirabel – Disney’s latest animation heroine – who is the only member to have not been gifted a power. She spots cracks forming in the foundations of the house and goes on an adventure to find out the cause.
Capturing the imaginations of its audience, the whimsical blockbuster was warmly received by critics and little ones alike. Now, Lego has brought the magical Madrigal family to life with its Encanto range. From Isabela magical set to the casa Madrigal build and a replica of Antonio’s wondrous door, here’s everything you need to know about the spell-binding range.
