60 free Encanto trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Encanto is the Disney movie that turned a box-office underperformer into a household obsession the moment it hit Disney+, and this Encanto trivia quiz covers all of it. There are questions on every Madrigal and their gift, on the living house and the candle, on Bruno's visions, and on the songs that took over 2022, including the record-setting ensemble number and Luisa's anthem for overworked older siblings. You will also find the behind-the-scenes story: the research trips to Colombia, the film the house was modelled on, the actors with Colombian roots, the Academy Award and Grammy wins, and the theme park ride on the way. The questions run from very easy ones a young fan can answer to genuinely hard production and chart trivia, so it works for a family movie night, a classroom warm-up or a fan showdown among grown-ups who know every lyric. Every answer has been checked against a real source and each question shows where it came from, so if a result surprises you, you can see the evidence rather than take our word for it.

Q 01What magical gift does Mirabel's older sister Luisa have?
Superhuman strength
Luisa's gift is Superhuman strength, which she uses to haul runaway donkeys and heavy loads around town; her muscular build made her a viral favourite when the teaser trailer dropped in July 2021.
Q 02Isabela, the eldest of the Madrigal sisters, can do what with her gift?
Make flowers bloom
Isabela's gift lets her Make flowers bloom and plants grow at will; her room is a floral bower, and in 'What Else Can I Do?' she conjures cacti and carnivorous sundew.
Q 03What is the gift of Mirabel's estranged uncle Bruno?
Seeing the future
Seeing the future, and creating visions of it; his prophecies were rarely welcome, which is why the townsfolk and even his own family came to shun him.
Q 04Aunt Pepa's gift affects what?
The weather
Pepa's gift controls The weather, tied to her mood; a small storm cloud follows her when she is upset, and she famously brought a hurricane to her own wedding day.
Q 05Five-year-old Antonio receives which gift at the start of the film?
Talking to animals
Antonio's gift is Talking to animals; at his ceremony his door opens onto a rainforest room full of creatures, and he is the first Madrigal child to receive a gift since Mirabel got none.
Q 06Cousin Camilo's gift lets him do what?
Shapeshifting
Camilo's gift is Shapeshifting: he can take on anyone's appearance, using it to cadge extra food and to become a lanky, spooky Bruno in his 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' verse.
Q 07Which cousin's gift is extraordinary hearing?
Dolores
Dolores has extraordinary hearing, able to pick up a pin drop across the Encanto; it makes her the family's reluctant gossip, and she spills Mirabel's vision secret at the dinner table.
Q 08How does Mirabel's mother Julieta use her gift?
She heals people with her cooking
Arepas from Julieta are the go-to remedy in the Encanto, which is handy given how accident-prone her husband Agustín is.
Q 09Alma, the family matriarch, is known throughout the film by what name?
Abuela
Abuela simply means grandmother in Spanish; the family calls Alma that throughout, with María Cecilia Botero voicing her speech and Olga Merediz her singing.
Q 10What do the Madrigals call their living, breathing house?
Casita
Casita was born when the candle Alma carried gained magical power, creating a sentient house in a realm bordered by mountains.
Q 11Who wrote the film's original songs?
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the original songs, working on the project from 2016; 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' became the first song from a Disney animated film to top the Hot 100 since 'A Whole New World' in 1993.
Q 12Before this film, the songwriter had written the songs for which Disney animated film?
Moana
The songwriter co-wrote Moana's songs with Opetaia Foa'i and Mark Mancina; he first hinted at the Colombian project during that film's 2016 publicity tour, five years before Encanto reached cinemas.
Q 13Which composer, who had co-written songs for Coco, wrote the film's orchestral score?
Germaine Franco
Q 21Mirabel's voice actress is best known for playing which Brooklyn Nine-Nine character?
Rosa Diaz
Mirabel's voice actress played the stone-faced detective Rosa Diaz for the whole run of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, 2013 to 2021, about as far from wide-eyed Mirabel as two roles can get.
Q 22Which actor voices Bruno?
John Leguizamo
John Leguizamo, born in Bogotá and raised in Queens, voices Bruno; he has said the role was a tribute to his Colombian roots.
Q 23Which Latin pop superstar voices Isabela's handsome suitor?
Maluma
Maluma voices Mariano Guzmán, the neighbour's son whose engagement dinner with Isabela goes so badly wrong; the Colombian star also voiced him in the Latin American Spanish dub.
Germaine Franco, who had co-written songs for Coco, composed the orchestral score, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score, the first Latina nominated in that category.
Q 14Jared Bush and Byron Howard had just finished which Disney film when they chose to make a musical next?
Zootopia
Bush and Howard had just finished Zootopia (2016), a buddy movie about a pair of characters learning about each other, and wanted the opposite: a musical about a dozen relatives in one family.
Q 15Encanto holds which number in Walt Disney Animation Studios' official numbered film canon?
60th
Encanto is the 60th film in the Walt Disney Animation Studios canon, which begins with Snow White in 1937; Strange World followed as number 61 in 2022.
Q 16Which award did the film win at the 94th Academy Awards?
Best Animated Feature
Encanto won Best Animated Feature at the 94th Academy Awards in March 2022, matching its Golden Globe and BAFTA; its score and song nominations went unrewarded.
Q 17Which song earned the film a Best Original Song nomination at the 2022 Academy Awards?
Dos Oruguitas
'Dos Oruguitas', meaning 'two little caterpillars', plays over the flashback to Pedro and Alma's story and was nominated for Best Original Song; an English version, 'Two Oruguitas', runs over the end credits.
Q 18Which Colombian singer-songwriter performs the film's Academy Award-nominated Spanish-language ballad?
Sebastián Yatra
Sebastián Yatra sings the film's Spanish-language ballad over Pedro and Alma's flashback and performed it live at the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony.
Q 19The film's nominated ballad lost Best Original Song at the 2022 Academy Awards to which track?
"No Time to Die"
'No Time to Die', Billie Eilish and Finneas's Bond theme, took Best Original Song; critics argued Disney should have submitted its chart-topping ensemble number instead of the ballad.
Q 20Who voices Mirabel?
Stephanie Beatriz
Stephanie Beatriz, born in Argentina to a Colombian father, voices Mirabel; she had sung for the same songwriter that year as Carla in the film of In the Heights.
Q 24Which Disney "good luck charm" actor provides the vocal effects for Pico, the bird in Antonio's room?
Alan Tudyk
Alan Tudyk, who voiced a character in every Disney Animation feature from Wreck-It Ralph (2012) through Encanto, supplies the squawks of Pico, Antonio's bird companion.
Q 25What kind of bird is Pico?
A toucan
Pico is A toucan, the emblematic Colombian bird the animators wanted on screen; it lives in Antonio's jungle room, since Mirabel herself has no animal sidekick.
