Three generations of the Madrigal family live in their magical house in the mountains of Colombia. Mirabel, the only child without a special gift, is determined to find out why the family’s magic is fading. This Disney animation offers nothing groundbreaking, but it tells a charming story and features nice characters, a good voice cast, and plenty of catchy songs written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. An Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature.
