From the very first scene in Disney’s animated hit Encanto, fans know this is going to be a movie about family. Mirabel Madrigal’s big, close-knit, extra magical family, to be exact. The first song of the movie is “The Family Madrigal,” after all. And here is what we learn from that song: there are a lot of Madrigals. A lot of cousins, a lot of aunts and uncles. Just a lot of people dealing with their amazing powers and even more importantly, dealing with each other. Show
So who are the Madrigals? What does their family tree look like? Abuela Alma and Abuelo Perdro MadrigalThe matriarch and patriarch of the Madrigal family, Alma and Pedro were the ones who started it all. When they were young parents themselves they were forced to flee their village after it was invaded by armed marauders. Sadly, the marauders followed them and Pedro was killed as he tried to protect his family by distracting the invaders. After his death, Alma was left hopeless and alone with her triplets, Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno. It was at that moment when she, and the rest of her family to follow, were blessed with a miracle in the form of a candle. The marauders were vanquished, and La Casa Madrigal was formed to protect their magical family. Of course, we know things ended up being more complicated than that as Alma’s three children grew and had families of their own. Pepa & Félix MadrigalPepa and Félix are married. Pepa Madrigal is the daughter of Alma and Pedro. She is married to Félix and together they have three children. Félix seems to be a perfect match for Pepa, especially since her magical gift is that her mood affects the weather and he needs to try to keep her happy if he’s looking to stay out of the rain. Dolores, Camilo, and AntonioPepa and Félix are parents to three children, Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio. Antonio is especially close to his cousin Mirabel, and learns from a young age that his gift is talking to animals. As for his older brother and sister, Dolores has the gift of super hearing while Camilo can shapeshift. So a pretty impressive family all around. Julieta & Agustín MadrigalMirabel has very nice parents. Julieta is Alma’s other daughter, and her magical power makes her a real maternal force; she can heal people through the magic of food. Imagine having the power to cure illness with baked goods; that is Julieta. She married Agustín, and together they are pretty much the most loving parents a person could ever want. Fortunately for their three children. Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel MadrigalIsabela, Luisa, and Mirabel Madrigal are sisters. Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel Madrigal are three sisters with very different personalities. Isabela is a real green thumb, especially since she has the magical power to create plants and flowers without effort. Luisa has the gift of truly awesome strength and isn’t afraid to use it. When it comes to Mirabel, however... that’s where the crux of the movie lies. She doesn’t actually have any magical power, although she does eventually learn that she is amazing at keeping the Madrigal family together. And for such a powerful family, that’s basically like the greatest power possible. Unless you’re willing to talk about Bruno, that is. Bruno MadrigalBruno Madrigal is the real black sheep. The only son of Alma and Pedro Madrigal, Bruno is the real black sheep of the family. As a young boy, he was given the gift of being able to see into the future, and he ran away to protect his family from his visions. He lived inside the Casita’s walls until he was found by Mirabel and brought back into the family. Bruno has no children but is a loving uncle to his nieces and nephews. The Madrigal family are more than their magical powers. They are a loving, complicated, amazing group of people who choose to love each other. 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 pic.twitter.com/jx9BKNjsx6 — Jared Bush (@thejaredbush) December 8, 2021Encanto is one of the latest to join the long line of Disney theatrical masterpieces. The Byron Howard and Jared Bush-directed musical fantasy comedy was released in November 2021 and received an overwhelmingly positive reaction. The Encanto refers to a charming place hidden within the mountains of Colombia. And here is where the Madrigal family lives, with nearly each blessed with mystical power, some fantastical and some more practical. 11 members make up this divinely gifted family that live harmoniously in an equally wonderful town. However, when the magic that lives in the town is under threat and in imminent danger, it’s up to Mirabel, an ordinary daughter with no mystical powers, to rescue the day and protect the home they love.

Alma MadrigalAge: 74 photo source: disney.fandom.com Alma Madrigal, known as Abuela, is the matriarch of the huge Madrigal family and 74-years-old.

She takes care of the magical candle that bestows the mythical power to her kids and grandkids. Her husband, Pedro, only seen in flashbacks, was the father to Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno.

Like the many wonderful mothers out there, she is blessed with the power to heal through her cooking. That’s as much a fact of motherhood as it is a superpower! Nevertheless, it is truly a gift. Julieta makes up one of three of Alma’s triplets, with the other two being Pepa and Bruno. As you’d expect, Julieta is a loving mother and nurturer to those with injuries or illnesses. Did You Know? “Julieta” is the Spanish and Portuguese version of Juliet, meaning “youthful.” 9. Bruno MadrigalAge: 50 photo source: disney.fandom.com Bruno Madrigal is the black sheep of the family, thanks to his bleak visions for the future. The 50-year-old triplet was gifted and cursed with the ability of precognition. In other words, he can see the future. Bruno became estranged from his family because of his visions, odd behavior, and pet rats. He wasn’t exactly a fan favorite in his community, but ultimately he won over the hearts of the townsfolk after they realized he had a fierce love for his family. Did You Know?

Agustin MadrigalAge: 50 photo source: disney.fandom.com Agustin Madrigal has no powers because he isn’t an original Madrigal.

And judging by that proud posture, it’s not hard to imagine that she knows she’s the golden child. Isabela is a loving sibling and wants to make her family proud. So much so that she would be willing to sacrifice her happiness for the benefit of her loved ones. No wonder why she’s also called “Our Angel!” Did You Know? Some of Isabela’s interests include all things colorful, coffee with milk, gardening, and spending time with her sisters. 5. Dolores MadrigalAge: 21 photo source: disney.fandom.com Dolores Madrigal is the only daughter of Pepa and Félix Madrigal. Therefore, that entitles her to at least a little preferential treatment! Thanks to her enhanced hearing, she gets the scoop on all the drama and dirty details of her family. Thankfully for them, she’s not one to do much gossiping. Dolores is a little quiet and not so quick to show her emotions. She doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention, unlike her younger brother, Camilo. Did You Know?

Luisa MadrigalAge: 19 photo source: disney.fandom.com When Luisa is called “the rock of the family,” it’s meant in more ways than one.

Her family and her town rely on her strength, and she takes her role in the community very seriously. Did You Know? Luisa enjoys donkeys, unicorns, and hummingbirds.

Camilo is a natural-born entertainer, and thanks to his ability to shape-shift, he takes his pranks and teenage hijinks to some pretty dramatic levels. He may come off as an overly rambunctious kid who has a knack for getting under his family’s skin, but he’s a loving brother who cherishes his family. Did You Know?
