Encanto by Disney is a beautiful, enchanting animated musical. The backstory of Encanto is connected to a tragic, very real past that has affected generations of Colombians.
The Madrigal family is the main focus of the movie. They relocate to a wonderful home in the new settlement of their Encanto, safely tucked away in the Colombian highlands, after escaping an attack on their hometown.
Other Colombians also find refuge in Encanto.

You're not the only one who finds it difficult to stop thinking about Encanto or the enchanted Madrigal family.
The story is actually based on Colombian history. The Madrigals' experience of violence and displacement is shared by generations of Colombians caught up in what seems like a perpetual civil conflict.
A Disney favorite for many people around the world, the film is loosely based on a historical story and has received accolades for its portrayal of Colombian culture and realistic character appearances. The movie serves as a love letter to family and community, themes that are made even more poignant in light of Colombians' actual history of having their families, communities, and lives torn apart by violence.
Even though the actual events that inspired the movie Encanto were much darker, they nonetheless provided a necessary level of reality to the otherwise upbeat tale.
