What Academy Award did Encanto win?

Encanto won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The Disney film received three Oscar nominations at the 94th Academy Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Original Song for “Dos Oruguitas,” but animated feature was its only win.

The 2021 film follows the Madrigal family, a Colombian household whose members receive magical gifts from a miracle. Walt Disney Animation Studios produced the movie, which was directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard and written by Bush and Charise Castro Smith.

The award is sometimes confused with Best Original Song because “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” became a major hit, but that song was not the nominated Encanto song. The film’s Oscar-nominated song was “Dos Oruguitas,” written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Encanto also won major animation honors at the Golden Globes and BAFTAs.
