Walt Disney Animation Studios
delivers a magical animated
musical with Encanto, a story
centered around the large Madrigal
family that takes place deep in the
mountains of Colombia.
Editor's Note
It's been a trying year for studios as they tried to make
the best decision when it came to releasing their films.
Stream it, release it in theaters, continue to sit on the
releases? And, how is this affecting the awards season?
