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 is also the tallest of the family, and her muscles alone made her a viral favourite when the first teaser trailer dropped in July 2021.
Q 02Isabela, the eldest of the Madrigal sisters, can do what with her gift?
Make flowers bloom
A Colombian botanist advised the animators so the jacarandas, strangler figs and sundew Isabela conjures are all real species.
Q 03What is the gift of Mirabel's estranged uncle Bruno?
Seeing the future
His prophecies were rarely welcome, which is why the townsfolk and even his own family came to treat him as bad luck.
Q 04Aunt Pepa's gift affects what?
The weather
Her sun earrings hint at the gift; when she is upset a small storm cloud tends to follow her around the house.
Q 05Five-year-old Antonio receives which gift at the start of the film?
Talking to animals
His new room becomes a jungle full of creatures, and the planned Disney park ride is set on the day of his gift ceremony.
Q 06Cousin Camilo's gift lets him do what?
Shapeshifting
Co-writer Charise Castro Smith described Camilo as someone who "doesn't quite know who they are yet", which the gift literalises.
Q 07Which cousin's gift is extraordinary hearing?
Dolores
It makes her the family gossip by default, and she is the one who spills Mirabel's 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
Her full name is never spoken on screen; the word simply means grandmother in Spanish, and Olga Merediz provides her singing voice.
Q 10What do the Madrigals call their living, breathing house?
Casita
It waves its shutters, rearranges its floor tiles and generally behaves like a thirteenth member of the family.

Lin-Manuel Miranda
He said afterwards that he had been writing for the project since 2016, and it produced Disney's first Billboard Hot 100 number one of the century.

Moana
He first hinted at the Colombian project during that film's 2016 publicity tour, five years before it reached cinemas.
Q 13Which composer, who had co-written songs for Coco, wrote the film's orchestral score?
Germaine Franco
She started scoring in September 2021, barely two months before release, and the score earned an Academy Award nomination.
Q 21Mirabel's voice actress is best known for playing which Brooklyn Nine-Nine detective?
Rosa Diaz
The stone-faced detective and the wide-eyed Mirabel are about as far apart as two roles can get, which delighted Nine-Nine fans.
Q 22Which Bogotá-born actor voices Bruno?
John Leguizamo
Disney deliberately cast several actors with Colombian roots; Wilmer Valderrama, who spent his childhood there, plays Mirabel's father.
Q 23Which Colombian pop superstar voices Isabela's handsome suitor?
Maluma
He also voices the character in the Spanish dub, and the suitor's mother is the neighbour whose engagement dinner goes so badly wrong.

Zootopia
They had made buddy movies about two characters learning about each other and wanted to try something completely different: a dozen main characters in one family.

The studio's numbered canon starts with Snow White in 1937; Strange World would follow as number 61.

Best Animated Feature
It was nominated in the score and song categories too, but its only win came in the animation category, matching its Golden Globe and BAFTA.
Q 17Which song from the film has a title meaning "Two Little Caterpillars"?
Dos Oruguitas
It plays over the flashback to Pedro and Alma's story, and 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
The songwriter invited him after hearing his track "Adiós"; it became the singer's first ever entry on the US Hot 100.
Q 19The film's nominated ballad lost Best Original Song at the 2022 Academy Awards to which track?
"No Time to Die"
Billie Eilish's Bond theme took the statuette; critics later argued Disney should have submitted its chart-topping ensemble number instead.

Stephanie Beatriz
Her father is Colombian, and she had already sung for the same songwriter that year in the film version 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
He told the crew their scratch vocals were actually parrots, then spent hours doing bird impressions while the team spoke to him in English.

A toucan
It appears because the animators wanted the ubiquitous Colombian bird on screen even though Mirabel has no critter sidekick of her own.
