Miranda previously told PEOPLE about theinspiration behindEncanto: “Our thesis for the film was, ‘Can we tell a story with three generations of family and really give them complexity without them getting winnowed away in the story making process?’ "
“Oftentimes in movies, you cut away unimportant characters, but we wanted to hold on to them. My first salvo in protecting them was writing the opening number, ‘The Family Madrigal,’ where I list everyone in the clearest family tree possible,” he added. “And ‘Bruno’ was the logical next step.”
