News and Storyline

 

Walt Disney Animation Studios welcomes global Latin superstar Maluma to the โ€œEncantoโ€ voice cast. Maluma lends his voice toย town heartthrob, Mariano, the soon-to-be fiancรฉ of Mirabelโ€™s perfect and poised sister Isabela.ย โ€œโ€˜Encantoโ€™ is such a magical movie,โ€ said Maluma. โ€œIโ€™m from Colombia and the story is about a Colombian family. Iโ€™m proud to be part of this beautiful story. It means so much to me as Iโ€™m very passionate about sharing my countryโ€™s cultural values and story globally.โ€

 

 

Bringing an undeniable presence and memorable sound to the stage, Juan Luis Londoรฑo Arias, known to his fans as Maluma, has skyrocketed onto the music scene in the last 10 years. Born and raised in Medellรญn, Colombia, the singing/songwriting/acting powerhouse has crossed over into the American, Asian, Latin American, European and Middle Eastern markets.ย He has released six studio albums including his most recent, โ€œ#7DJ – Seven Days in Jamaica,โ€ and has been recognized by the Latin GRAMMYS, Billboard and Latin Billboard Awards, the VMAs, and MTV, among others. Next year, Maluma continues his acting career in โ€œMarry Me,โ€ alongside Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson.

 

 

The film tells the tale of the Madrigals, an extraordinary family who live in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. Each child has been blessed with a magic gift unique to themโ€”each child except Mirabel. But when the familyโ€™s home is threatened, Mirabel may be their only hope.ย The voice cast also includes Stephanie Beatriz as Mirabel;ย Marรญa Cecilia Boteroย as Mirabelโ€™s grandmother Alma aka Abuela;ย John Leguizamo as Mirabelโ€™s estranged Uncle Bruno;ย Angie Cepeda and Wilmer Valderrama as Mirabelโ€™s parents, Julieta and Agustรญn;ย ย and Diane Guererro and Jessica Darrow as Mirabelโ€™s sisters, Isabela and Luisa. Also lending their voices areย Carolina Gaitรกn and Mauro Castillo as Mirabelโ€™s aunt and uncle, Pepa and Fรฉlix; and Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz and Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Mirabelโ€™s cousins Dolores, Camilo and Antonio, respectively.

I'm the Sr. Film Writer and Community Manager for tmc.io. I write, direct and produce short films with my production company, Good Stew Productions. Though it's difficult to answer this question when asked, I'd say my favorite movie is โ€œThe Big Chill.โ€ I enjoy photography, poetry, and hiking and I adore animals, especially elephants. I live in Arizona and feel it's an outstanding and inspirational place to live.
