'The Family Madrigal,' the rapid-fire opening number from Encanto, was actually inspired by another Disney song: 'Belle,' from Beauty and the Beast.
One of the animators behind Disney's latest hit Encanto reveals the Madrigal family's opening song was inspired by Beauty and the Beast. As the 60th animated film to be released by Walt Disney Animation Studios, Encanto arrived in November with a certain level of expectations attached. The film's original and magical story harkened back to classic Disney in many ways, and audiences took to it with much enthusiasm.
Like all good Disney movies, Encanto's story really gets started with the aid of an exuberant musical number. The first song off the film's soundtrack is"The Family Madrigal," a rapid-fire introduction to each member of the titular family. Through Lin-Manuel Miranda's clever lyrics, Mirabel rattles off the names of the various Madrigals, as well as their particular gifts.
"The Family Madrigal" is a very different song, yet it establishes the tone of Encanto early on and plunges audiences right into the titular family unit. Some of the best songs from musicals both push the plot forward and reveal key details about the characters, and Encanto's opener definitely manages to do that. It's fitting that it was inspired by a Disney classic, since now Encanto is becoming a modern day classic of its own.
