Encanto is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on November 24, 2021.
Disney also confirmed that Encanto will hit theaters in November; it will not debut on Disney+, like Mulan (2020) and Soul (2020).
Disney’s film lineup hit a road bump when movie theaters were closed down due to the pandemic. However, even without the pandemic, the studio had a long lineup of live-action remakes of its animated classics like :
- Mulan
- Cruella

Meanwhile, Disney’s last original animated feature was Moana in 2016, followed by the Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen sequels.
Due to filming restrictions, Disney seems to be smartly pivoting to animated projects, like Raya and the Last Dragon and now Encanto.
