Where was the world premiere of Encanto held?

The world premiere of Encanto was held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

The premiere took place on November 3, 2021, ahead of the film’s United States theatrical release on November 24. The El Capitan Theatre is a historic Hollywood venue operated by Disney, making it a fitting location for a major Walt Disney Animation Studios event.

Encanto’s premiere marked the public launch of a story centered on the Madrigal family, whose magical home and gifts protect a Colombian mountain community. The film later reached a much wider audience through Disney+, where it became especially popular after its December 24, 2021 release.

The answer can be confused with other famous Los Angeles cinemas. Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the Pantages Theatre and the Dolby Theatre are all prominent Hollywood venues, but none was the location of Encanto’s world premiere. The Dolby Theatre is particularly easy to associate with the film because it hosts the Academy Awards.
