An Encanto panel took place Saturday at the D23 Expo, which brought together the filmmakers and the cast for some lively storytelling, a surprise guest, a musical performance, and the announcement of an upcoming live staging of the movie’s story and music.
Thousands of enthusiastic fans filled the Premiere Stage at the Anaheim Convention Center for a lively event featuring discussion from the creative team and cast, ending with a rip-roaring performance of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.” This was in fact the second performance of the hit song at the Expo, following one closing Friday’s Disney Legends Ceremony.
Lin-Manuel Miranda joined the panel remotely through some impressive AT&T video technology.
Tamron Hall hosted this panel that featured:
- Director Jared Bush
- Producer Yvett Merino
- Producer Clark Spencer
- Choreographer Jamal Sims
- Songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda
- Wilmer Valderrama (Agustín)
- Mauro Castillo (Félix)
- Diane Guerrero (Isabela)
- Carolina Gaitán (Pepa)

The cast of Encanto will perform all the music from the film live at the Hollywood Bowl on November 11th & 12th.
