Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel (voice of Stephanie Beatriz). But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.
The movie will be shown at the WindMark Beach Village Center, 101 Good Morning Street in Port St Joe, on Saturday, July 23, starting at 9 p.m. EDT.
Attendees are invited to bring low back chairs or blankets for a movie night under the stars.
