During the pandemic era, Disney has released a few animated films either under their own label or via Pixar, including “Raya and the Last Dragon,” “Soul” and “Luca,” and while they’ve all done reasonably well, “Encanto” is the first one to become a sensation.
Released in theaters last November, it did decent box office, racking up $228.3 million worldwide against a $50 million budget. Even factoring in marketing expenses, “Encanto” turned a healthy profit, but it was hardly a phenomenon. That changed though when the film about a Colombian family that possesses magic abilities reached Disney+ on Dec. 24.
