Immediate Media Co add to their Disney magazine portfolio with the launch of new Encanto magazine

Published: 03 Mar 2023

Immediate Media Co, the special interest content and platform company, is launching a new Disney magazine, Encanto magazine, filled with the magic of Casa de las Madrigal and the adventures of Mirabel and her extraordinary family.

Encanto is an animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, and the brand-new Encanto magazine is packed with different ways for young readers to independently explore the magic of the characters and film.

Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift and the four-weekly Encanto magazine invites young readers to enter the magical world and celebrate their own unique differences.

It’s packed with uplifting activities that harness the differences, diversity and special gifts of the movie characters and there’s plenty of activities to help little ones on their own self-discovery and the realisation that everyone is magical in their own unique way.

Rachel Clare, Immediate Media’s Youth & Children’s Publisher adds: “Disney’s Encanto has been a major hit on the streaming platform Disney+ and we’re thrilled to be bringing the magic to children’s physical world with brand-new Encanto magazine. We have an exciting line up of issues and gifts with plenty of games, puzzles, music and magic along the way.”

The first issue of Encanto magazine is on sale from 15 March 2023, available at newsagents and most major supermarkets. It is also available online at magsdirect.co.uk/
