Encanto is a 2021 Walt Disney Animation Studios film, the studio’s 60th animated feature, directed by Byron Howard and Jared Bush and co-directed by Charise Castro Smith. Set in the mountains of Colombia, it follows the Madrigal family, whose members each receive a distinct magical gift, from super strength to the power to heal, except for the film’s protagonist, Mirabel. This set works for a family with a young fan who has watched the film many times, a classroom introducing a Colombian setting and culture, and any child who wants to color a large, distinct cast of family members.
Since every Madrigal family member has a different magical gift, each character also has a distinct visual identity: Isabela’s flowers, Luisa’s strength-focused build, and Dolores’s oversized ears. Getting that one defining detail right on each page is what keeps a large cast like this readable, rather than a collection of interchangeable family portraits.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 94 pages fall into a few clear groups, built around Mirabel, Bruno, and Dolores and Isabela, the rest of the Madrigal family, and group scenes and special styles.
Mirabel Portraits and Activities
Around 22 pages feature Mirabel, the film’s protagonist, alone or engaged in a specific activity. Keep her look consistent with a green dress, round glasses, and dark curly hair across every page, since these details are what make her instantly recognizable.
Bruno, Dolores, and Isabela
Around 24 pages focus on three of the most requested characters: Bruno with his mystical, mismatched-eyed look, Dolores with her oversized ears tied to super hearing, and Isabela with the flowers woven into her design. Each character’s signature trait should stay the visual focus of their page.
The Rest of the Madrigal Family
Around 24 pages cover the remaining family members: Luisa, Camilo, Antonio, Julieta, Pepa, Felix, and Agustin. These pages suit a fan who wants to go beyond the most popular characters and color the full extended family.
Family Group Scenes and Special Styles
Around 24 pages show multiple family members together, or use a special art style: mandalas, chibi versions, color-by-number sheets, and a page of the magical Casita itself. These pages carry the most variety in format across the collection.
What Encanto Coloring Pages Do
A cast defined by one signature trait each. Since every Madrigal has a different gift and a matching visual detail, working through this collection means practicing the skill of identifying and preserving one key feature per character, a more demanding task than a cast that shares a similar look.
Fine motor development. Coloring smaller signature details, Isabela’s woven flowers, Dolores’s ear shape, Bruno’s cloak pattern, without letting them blend into the surrounding design, calls for the kind of controlled, small-scale coloring the American Academy of Pediatrics associates with hand-strength gains in children ages 2 through 7.
A page connected to a real setting. Encanto is set specifically in Colombia’s mountain region, and coloring a page is a reasonable opening to talk about that real setting, rather than a vague, unspecified fantasy location.
Calm through a large, repeated cast. A 2005 Art Therapy Journal study linked coloring inside structured shapes to a measurable drop in anxiety, and working steadily through a cast this large, one character at a time, gives a colorist an extended, low-stakes project to settle into over several sessions.
How to Color Encanto Coloring Pages Well
- Keep Mirabel’s green dress and glasses consistent: Use a rich Green for her dress and keep her round glasses a simple Black or Brown frame across every page, since these two details anchor her look.
- Give Isabela’s flowers a real variety: Use two or three different flower colors, Pink, Yellow, Purple, woven through her hair and dress rather than one repeated shade, since her gift is tied to a wide range of plant life.
- Make Dolores’s ears a deliberate, visible detail: Color her ears with the same care as her face, since their slightly larger size is a direct visual reference to her heightened hearing.
- Keep Bruno’s palette mysterious and muted: Lean toward deep Green, Brown, and Gold for Bruno’s cloak and rat companion, since his design leans darker and more mystical than the rest of the family.
- Match Luisa’s strength with a solid, grounded palette: Use confident, saturated colors for her clothing, avoiding pastel tones, to reflect her physically strong build.
- Keep the Casita warm and lively: On pages showing the magical house, use warm Terracotta, Yellow, and Blue tones typical of Colombian architecture, since the house itself has its own vibrant personality in the film.
