We hear The sounds of nighttime in a Colombian cloud forest, birds, insects, nature. Then the voice of an older woman, warm, nurturing and intimate.

"Abre los ojos....open your eyes"

The closed eyes of five year old Mirabel madrigal. Light of a candle reflects in her over sized, green rimmed glasses. Mirabel opens one eye, then the other to find a wondrous, magical candle rippling with firelight magic.

"This is where our magic comes from?" Little Mirabel asks.

"Mhm, this candle holds the miracle given to our family"

"How did we get a miracle?" Alma pulls Mirabel onto her lap and the light of the candle grows. As alma speaks, we dissolve to her as a young woman, along with her husband, Pedro, and their three babies. The candle burns brightly nearby.

"Long ago......when my three babies has just been born......your Abuelo Pedro and I were forced to flee our home"

Strong light grows outside young Alma and Pedro's window. Alma and Pedro look concerned.

Match to: young Alma and Pedro holding the candle, leading a frightened group displaced people. They struggle across a beautiful river.

and thought many joined us, hoping to find a new home. We could not escape the dangers, and your Abuelo was lost"

The candle flickers and Pedro looks back from where they came, troubles. Pedro hands Abuela the candle as he throws his arms protectively as...marauders approach. As they advance, Pedro vanished into the wind in front of abuela, who collapses....and we push into the candle.

....but in our darkest moment, we were given a Miracle.

As abuela cries, we burst out of our impressionistic history into the splendor of a miracle, rooted deeply in magical realism. The candle blossoms with a magical intensity, banishing the darkness.

"the candle became a magical flame that could never go out. And it blessed us with a refuge in which to live, a place of wonder"

" An encanto" little mirabel says

"An encanto" Abuela repeats

Around abuela and her babies. (Displaced people), mountains rise, forming a protected valley. The candle shines brightly, enveloping abuela Alma, it's magic glows from the earth and a house grows around her.

"The miracle grew...and our house, our casita itself, came alive to shelter us."

The house comes to life, to the delight of the babies.

"When my children came of age, the Miracle blessed each with a magic gift to help us....and when there children came of age..."

The triplets turn five and as they step forward glowing doors, they too are filled with magic. As they grow up a new generation is born, and as these children are filled with magic, the series of doors becomes a mural like family tree."

"They got magic to" said younge mirabel

Abuela chuckles"that's right...and together our family's gifts, have made our new home a paradise.

The wilderness transforms into paradise, the house and magic candle shining like a beacon. We push in and match to.

The magic candle, which we pull back from to find young Mirabel starting in awe. Abuela smiles at her, full of love.

"tonight this candle will give you your gift, mi vida, strengthen our community strengthen our home"

Abuela fixes her glasses.

"Make your family proud"

"Make my family proud" young mirabel says

Mirabel nods, solemn but bursting with pride. Abuela beams. As fireworks explode, the magical house knocks a clock toward them, nudging that it's time to start the ceremony.

"Yes yes casita, we're going" abuela says

The house brings Mirabel her shoes. She giggles, then helps abuela to the door, holding her hand, exciting and nervous.

"What do you think my gift will be?"

"You are a wonder, Mirabel Madrigal..whatever gift awaits will be just as special as you"

On mirabels face, we match to her standing in the courtyard as the curtain opens on her gift ceremony. As Mirabel stares at her undulating door, full of wonder, it's glittering magic blooms brighter and brighter.

Dissolve from bright light to: mirabel's green glasses. The shelf the glasses sit on lifts to one side by the house and the glasses slide off into the waiting hand of Mirabel, who passes, already on a mission

Mirabel is now 15, though we don't see her face. As she hurries around her room in tight shots, the house tries to keep up. We see some of mirabels personalized decorations: self painted wallpaper, family picture, books, etc.

Mirabel grabs a self decorated dress off a sewing table. Mirabel jumps and as she lands, the house scrambled to put shoes under her feet. Barely made it Mirabel puts her hand on the doorknob and, we see her face for the first time as she takes a breath like she's heading into battle.

"Make your family proud" she says

"Come on Mirabel hurry up" pari madrigal says, sliding down the ice slide she made on the stairs.

The house conveys miragel downstairs and she passes a portrait of abuelo Pedro.

"Morning abuelo"

3 kids excitedly run up a path toward la casa madrigal. It"s like Christmas morning, anticipation building.

As Mirabel moves through the corridors, shutters open around her. She reaches the dining room and behind setting the table. Each member of the family has their own plate, highlighting their gift. As Mirabel sets the table, kids holler at her from outside.

"Hey when's the magic gift happen?"

"my cousins ceremony is tonight" she goes back to setting the table, but.

"What's his gift" a little girl asks.

"We're gonna find out" mirabel says

"What's your gift" the little boy asks while whipping his face off from the coffee.

"Who's asking?" Mirabel says.

All:"us"

"We'll "us" I can't just talk about myself, I'm only part of the amazing Madrigals " mirabel says.

"Who's all the amazing madrigals" the kids ask.

"Ah, your not gonna leave me alone are you? Casita help me out"

"Drawers"

(House moves it's drawers)

"Floors"

(House moves it floors)

"Doors"

(The magic doors glow)

"Let's go"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Oh my gosh it's them"

"What are the gifts?"

"I can't remember all the gifts"

"But I don't who is who"

"Oh my gosh it's THE pari , are you guys seeing

this?"

"Alright alright relax,"

"It is physically imposable to relax" the little girl says.

"Tell us everything, what are your powers?" the other little says.

"Just tell us what everyone can do!" The little boy says.

"And that's why coffee's for grown-ups" Mirabel takes juancho's coffee cup and steps up to a mural of the madrigal family.

"

Hey coming threw" mirabel says.

Camilo shape shifts into a twin of the lady and takes the baby then gives the lady a pillow to relax.

Pari slides across using her magic as she waves at the kids as she passes by.

"Wait who's the sister and who's the cousin?" The little girl asks.

"Theres so many people" the other little girl says.

""How do you keep them all straight?"

"Okay okay okay, so many kids in our house so let's turn the sound up, you know why? I think it's time for grandkid round - up"

All:"grandkid round- up"

Dolores appears, her hand to her ear.

Abuela:" let's get ready"

Luisa: -"coming abuela"

Mirabel:"

chorus:" woah"

Mirabel:"

Chorus:" woah"

Mirabel:"

Chorus:" woah"

Mirabel:"

Adios" mirabel with a flourish, Mirabel salutes the kids, turns and tries to head back toward the house, but;

"Oh" She jumps

"But what's your gift? " the little girl asks. Mirabel looks caught...but before she can get out of there, someone throws her an accordion and the kids start pumping it, to make her play and.

"

Chorus:" woah"

we see Dolores far away on a mountain, she puts her hand to her ear and starts grooving to the music.

Abuela:" Mirabel!" The song abruptly ends as Mirabel looks over to see abuela, in the doorway of the house. Mirabel winces.

Abuela:" what are you doing?"

Mirabel:" uh, they were just asking about the family and..."

"She was about to tell us about her super awesome gift" the little girl says. Abuela looks confused, but Dolores pops up out of nowhere.

Dolores:" oh, Mirabel didn't get one" Dolores thinking she was helpful and heads off. Mirabel, busted, looks back to abuela, who moves on. The kids look back to mirsbel, feeling like they've been duped.

"You didn't get a gift?" The little kid asks.

Mirabel:" um..." Mirabel opens her mouth to try to spin this bad news, but a guy approaches with a donkey laden with supplies.

"Mirabel delivery, I gave you the special since your the only Madrigal kid with no gift.. I call it the "not special special" since uh, you have no gift"

"Thanks" Mirabel smiles shortly while holding the decorations for the party.

"Oh and tell Antonio good luck, the last gift ceremony was a bummer......last one being yours that did not work"

"Uh-huh"

"If I was you, I'd be really sad" the little girl says.

"Well my little friend, I am not because the truth is, gift or no gift I am just as special as the rest of my family."

All around Mirabel her amazing family does amazing things. The kids look at her like shes delusional.

Isabela:" who wants more pink" she says while decorating the outside of the house with flowers.

Luisa:" alright guys, where do I drop this wagon?"

Pari touches the flowers on the side of the house, turning them into beautiful white frozen flowers.

"Maybe your gift is being in denial" the little girl says. Mirabel thinks about that as more flowers bloom and a rainbow appears over the house

Pepa:" I made a rainbow"

Pari:" Mirabel I need your help looking for Antonio.
