    Disney has transported us to places both fictional and real, but this time we're going to the magical home of the Madrigal family, deep in the mountains of Colombia, called Encanto.

    They just dropped a teaser trailer for their latest film of the same name, and to say the visuals and music will be stunning is an understatement.

    The film follows 15-year-old Mirabel (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz), who is struggling to find her place in her family. They've all been blessed with magical abilities — except her.

    But when she discovers that there is a threat to her family's magic, Mirabel becomes her family's last hope to save everything they've got.

    “Mirabel is a really funny, loving character who also deeply yearns for something more,” said Beatriz in a press release. “She’s also not afraid to stand up for what she knows is right — something I love and relate to very much."

    She went on to say, "I’m Colombian on my father’s side, and playing this role fills me with immense pride. As a Disney kid, I’d burn through my VHS tapes and adored every single magical story that the world of Disney introduced me to. I learned in those stories that anything is possible, especially if you believe in magic and the goodness rooted deep inside us all.”

    The voice cast also includes María Cecilia Botero, Wilmer Valderrama, Adassa, Diane Guerrero, Mauro Castillo, Angie Cepeda, Jessica Darrow, Rhenzy Feliz, and Carolina Gaitan.

    The film will feature new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the teaser itself has a song by Colombian musical artist Carlos Vives called “Colombia, Mi Encanto."

    Vives said in a release, "This song is a celebration of the magical diversity of Colombia. I can’t wait to see how the music will blend with the images and the characters inspired by the ‘encanto’ of Colombians.”

    And all this magic aside, the teaser proves there's definitely plenty of laughs to be had too.

    Mirabel says, "Gift or no gift, I am just as special as the rest of my family" to which someone replies "Maybe your gift is being in denial"

    Encanto opens in theaters Nov. 24, 2021, and I for one can't wait.
