Why this petition matters

Started by Angel S

Stand up for whats right! Support Encanto becoming an official broadway musical! We need to get on the radar of these big producing companies, and we need disney to support! Also, the movie only has a few songs, so if ANYONE has an idea for a new song that can be added, message me @ 772-985-6337! Anyone can contribute. Anyone can participate. ANYONE can make a DIFFERENCE and make Encanto into a musical!

ENCANTO
Written by
Charise Castro Smith & Jared Bush
ENCANTO 1.
OVER BLACK...
WE HEAR the sounds of nighttime in a COLOMBIAN CLOUD FOREST:
birds, insects, nature. Then the voice of an older woman,
warm, nurturing and intimate...
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
Abre los ojos... open your eyes....
FADE UP ON: The closed eyes of five-year-old MIRABEL
MADRIGAL; light of a CANDLE reflects in her over-sized, greenrimmed glasses. Mirabel opens one eye, then the other to find
a wondrous, MAGICAL CANDLE rippling with firelight magic.
YOUNG MIRABEL
This is where our magic comes from?
ABUELA ALMA
Mm-hmm, this candle holds the
miracle given to our family.
YOUNG MIRABEL
How did we get a miracle?
Alma pulls Mirabel onto her lap and the light of the candle
grows. As Alma speaks, we dissolve to her as a young woman,
along with her husband, PEDRO, and their THREE BABIES. The
CANDLE burns brightly nearby.
ABUELA ALMA (INTO V.O.)
Long ago, when my three babies had
just been born, your Abuelo Pedro
and I were forced to flee our home.
Strong light grows outside Young Alma and Pedro’s window.
Alma and Pedro look concerned.
Match to: Young Alma and Pedro (holding the candle) leading a
frightened group of displaced people. They struggle across a
beautiful RIVER.
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
And though many joined us, hoping
to find a new home... we could not
escape the dangers... and your
Abuelo was lost.
The candle flickers and Pedro looks back from where they
came, troubled. Pedro hands Abuela the candle as he throws
his arms out protectively as... marauders approach. As they
advance, Pedro vanishes into the wind in front of Abuela, who
collapses... and we push in on the CANDLE.
ENCANTO 1.
ENCANTO 2.
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
But in our darkest moment... we
were given... a miracle.
As Abuela cries, we burst out of our impressionistic history
into the SPLENDOR of a MIRACLE, rooted deeply in MAGICAL
REALISM. The CANDLE blossoms with a magical intensity,
banishing the darkness.
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
The candle became a magical flame
that could never go out and it
blessed us with a refuge in which
to live. A place of wonder...
YOUNG MIRABEL (V.O.)
An Encanto...
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
An Encanto.
Around Abuela and her babies (and displaced people),
MOUNTAINS rise, forming a protected VALLEY. The CANDLE shines
brightly, enveloping ABUELA ALMA, its magic glows from the
earth and a HOUSE grows around her.
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
The miracle grew... and our house,
our casita itself, came alive to
shelter us.
The House COMES TO LIFE, to the delight of the babies.
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
When my children came of age, the
miracle blessed each with a magic
gift to help us. And when their
children came of age...
The triplets turn five and as they STEP TOWARD GLOWING DOORS,
they too are filled with MAGIC. As they “grow-up,” a new
generation is born, and as these children are filled with
magic, the series of doors becomes a mural-like family tree.
YOUNG MIRABEL (V.O.)
They got magic too.
ABUELA ALMA (V.O.)
That’s right... and together our
family’s gifts have made our new
home... a paradise.
The wilderness transforms into paradise, the House and MAGIC
CANDLE shining like a beacon. We push in and match to:
ENCANTO 2.
ENCANTO 3.
INT. CASA MADRIGAL - NURSERY - EVENING
The MAGIC CANDLE, which we pull back from to find Young
Mirabel staring in awe. Abuela smiles at her, full of love.
ABUELA ALMA
Tonight, this candle will give you
your gift, mi vida. Strengthen our
community, strengthen our home.
Make your family proud.
YOUNG MIRABEL
(solemn, nodding)
Make my family proud.
Mirabel nods, solemn but bursting with pride. Abuela beams.
As fireworks explode, the magical House knocks a CLOCK toward
them, nudging that it’s time to start the ceremony.
ABUELA ALMA
Yes, yes, Casita, we’re going.
The House brings Mirabel her shoes. She giggles, then helps
Abuela to the door, holding her hand, excited and nervous.
YOUNG MIRABEL
What do you think my gift will be?
Abuela Alma bends down to Mirabel, full of love and pride.
ABUELA ALMA
You are a wonder, Mirabel Madrigal.
Whatever gift awaits, will be just
as special as you.
On Mirabel’s face, we match to her standing in the courtyard
as the curtain opens on her GIFT CEREMONY. As Mirabel stares
at her undulating door, full of wonder, its glittering magic
blooms brighter and brighter, and we transition to our title:
ENCANTO
INT. MIRABEL’S BEDROOM - DAWN
A PERCUSSION INTRO IS ALREADY REVVING UP...
DISSOLVE FROM BRIGHT LIGHT TO: MIRABEL’S GREEN GLASSES. The
SHELF the glasses sit on lifts to one side (by the House) and
the glasses slide off into... the waiting HAND of MIRABEL,
who passes, already “on a mission.”
ENCANTO 3.
ENCANTO 4.
Mirabel is now 15, though we don’t yet see her face. As she
hurries around her room in tight shots, the HOUSE tries to
keep up. We see some of Mirabel’s personalized decorations:
self-painted wallpaper, family picture, books, etc.
Mirabel grabs a “self-decorated” dress off a sewing table.
Mirabel jumps and as she lands, the House scrambles to put
SHOES under her feet. Barely made it! Mirabel puts her hand
on the DOORKNOB and, we see her face for the first time as
she takes a breath like she’s heading into battle.
MIRABEL
Make your family proud.
INT. CASA MADRIGAL - VARIOUS INTERIORS
The House conveys Mirabel downstairs and she passes a
portrait of ABUELO PEDRO.
MIRABEL
Morning, Abuelo.
EXT. TOWN OF ENCANTO - SAME TIME
THREE KIDS excitedly run up a path toward la Casa Madrigal.
It’s like Christmas morning, anticipation building.
INT. CASA MADRIGAL - VARIOUS
As Mirabel moves through the corridors, shutters open around
her. She reaches the dining room and begins setting the
table. Each member of the family has their own plate,
highlighting their gift. As Mirabel sets the table, kids
holler at her from outside.
PUMPED JUANCHO
Hey! When’s the magic gift happen?!
MIRABEL
My cousin’s ceremony is tonight.
She goes back to setting the table, but:
LITTLE ALEJANDRA
What’s his gift?!
MIRABEL
We’re gonna find out.
PUMPED JUANCHO
What’s your gift?!
ENCANTO 4.

ENCANTO 5.
MIRABEL

Who’s asking?
KIDS

MIRABEL
Well, “us,” I can’t just talk about
myself... I’m only part of the
amazing Madrigals.
KIDS
Who’s all the amazing Madrigals?
MIRABEL
Aw, you’re not gonna leave me
alone, are you? Casita, help me
out.
AND THE MUSIC KICKS IN!
MIRABEL (CONT'D)
Drawers.
(House moves its drawers)
Floors.
(House moves its floors)
Doors --

Let’s goooo!
(singing)
THIS IS OUR HOME.
WE’VE GOT EVERY GENERATION

A RHYTHM OF ITS OWN DESIGN.
MIRABEL opens the family’s doors to help them wake up.
MIRABEL (CONT'D)
THIS IS MY FAMILY,
A PERFECT CONSTELLATION.
SO MANY STARS, AND EVERYBODY GETS
TO SHINE.
The family hustles to get ready for the day with help from
the house: it makes Luisa treadmill with its tiles, pours
coffee for the family, etc. Abuela emerges from her room.
MIRABEL (CONT'D)

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY MADRIGAL.
THE HOME OF THE FAMILY MADRIGAL.
WE’RE ON OUR WAY!
WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE ARE
FANTASTICAL AND MAGICAL,
I’M PART OF THE FAMILY MADRIGAL!
Mirabel leads her FAMILY OUT OF THE HOUSE, she’s their
biggest cheerleader. She waves goodbye to the House and the
House waves back with its shutters and tiles. The town kids
watch the Madrigals emerge, super psyched to see these
amazing people get to work. The kids crowd around Mirabel.
KIDS
Oh my gosh, it’s them!/ What are
the gifts?! / I can’t remember all
the gifts/ Who is who?
MIRABEL
Alright, alright, relax.
LITTLE ALEJANDRA
It is physically impossible to
relax!
INNOCENT CECILIA
Tell us everything! What are your
powers?
PUMPED JUANCHO
JUST TELL US WHAT EVERYONE CAN DO!
MIRABEL
And that’s why coffee’s for grownups.
Mirabel takes Juancho’s coffee cup and steps up to a MURAL of
the Madrigal family.
MIRABEL (CONT'D)
MY TIA PEPA.
HER MOOD AFFECTS THE WEATHER.
WHEN SHE’S UNHAPPY, WELL, THE
TEMPERATURE GETS WEIRD.
We find emotional PEPA, when she’s happy the sun comes out,
she trips off camera, and stomps back, pissed. The weather
above the whole Encanto gets worse and rains in the BG.
MIRABEL (CONT'D)

ENCANTO 7.

ONE DAY HE DISAPPEARED.
We see CREEPY BRUNO’S DOOR DEVELOP COBWEBS as its MAGIC
FADES. We continue through the town as JULIETA heals sick
people with her homemade buñuelos. Reveal a HUGE LINE OF
PEOPLE with comedic maladies waiting to be healed by her.
MIRABEL (CONT'D)
OH, AND THAT’S MY MOM JULIETA,
HERE’S HER DEAL.
WHOA, THE TRUTH IS, SHE CAN HEAL
YOU WITH A MEAL.
WHOA, HER RECIPES ARE REMEDIES FOR
REAL.
IF YOU’RE IMPRESSED, IMAGINE HOW I
FEEL -
(gets kissed by Julieta)

Mirabel who heads through the bustling town, were we see
flowers, fruit, a guy selling a huge stack of hats, etc.
MIRABEL (CONT'D)

BIT FANTASTICAL AND MAGICAL, BUT

Madrigals are doing everything they can to help the
community. Abuela Alma is almost the mayor of this town, wellrespected and leads by example.
