After Encanto's unprecedented success and continued #1 status, the next logical step towards a major victory for The Walt Disney Company is quite clear, the franchising🇧🇷 There already seems to be plans for a follow-up, especially after CEO Bob Chapek used some specific verbiage when talking about the film, calling it a "launch of a new franchise."
However, since the beginning and the like, there hasn't been any further talk about a possible sequels, spinoffs or TV shows set in this world. However, this is not enough to stop fans from creating speculations, theories about a possible sequel to the film. Now, sort of, perhaps unintentionally adding fuel to the fire, or intentionally, Enchantment director Jared Bush came up with the gall to fan the will in a Tweet, where he had a response to fans eager for more from the series, that drove many crazy over a possible sequel.
“I get asked A LOT if there will be more #Encanto – film, TV, theater etc,” Bush wrote on Twitter. “I'll say this, it's always been our dream, but the real deciders are the fans who found themselves in this story, who saw their family in ours, who chose to spend time with the Madrigals... and want it again.
The repercussion of Encanto and its sequel
Fan response to the cryptic tweet ranged from the anxious “LET'S GOOOOOOOOO” to the desperate “I need more… I'm capturing every frame in desperation for more content.” Considering this tweet and Chapek's previous statement, EncanTWO seems like a foregone conclusion, but when we might get an announcement remains to be seen.
While Enchantment didn't really set the box office ablaze when it was released in theaters, the film's quick turnaround for streaming on Disney+ immediately made it a huge hit. Charm debuted on the streamer on Christmas Eve and ratings have since shown it to be the #1 streaming move for an unprecedented amount of time, not to mention the continued viral success of the hit “We Don't Talk About Bruno”.
The story of Charm

In this family, everyone in her family receives a special “gift” when they are young, but Mirabel never received one. It made her question and question her place in Madrigal's legacy. Additionally, the film is directed by Bush and Byron Howard, with Charise Castro Smith serving as co-director. Bush and Castro Smith wrote the screenplay.
