Encanto helps rehabilitate the image of
Colombia - usually associated in Hollywood with drug trafficking
and violence - said Vives, who sang the movie's title song.
"(Encanto) has the magic of Disney's animations - which always
seek to rescue the human values of diversity and of the richness
of our people. It is an approach to the Colombian soul, which is
connected with music, with a sense of humor," Vives told Reuters
on Wednesday.
"It is a story that, I think, leaves us with a very nice
message," said the winner of two Grammys and 11 Latin Grammys.
The title track for the film - set to be released at the end of
this month - is "Colombia, mi encanto."
Encanto tells the story of the Madrigal family, who possess
special powers and live in a magical house in Encanto, a town
hidden in Colombia's mountains.
All the boys and girls in the family have unique gifts except
Mirabel. However, when she discovers that Encanto's magic is
threatened, it falls to her to save her home and family.
"It shows that we all bring something important to this life and
that we all have a special talent, gift, or charm and that
sometimes life has difficult moments, but the good in people
always wins in the end," Vives said.
