Encanto Reo Māori is a collaboration between Colombian and Māori culture which both celebrate community, intergenerational knowledge and respect for elders.

“Encanto Reo Māori is Disney’s most culturally diverse production to date. It is an opportunity for us to embrace the many expressions of Māoritanga, and celebrate the magic of being Māori,” producers Chelsea Winstanley and Mia Henry-Teirney said.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal-every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.
