There’s no denying that Disney’s Encanto was an unstoppable hit. Images and songs from the movie were everywhere in 2021 and still persist heavily into this year.
Everyone knows about it – whether you’re a casual TikTok user who has fallen victim to the earworm “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” or a parent with young toddlers ready to gouge out your eyes if you have to hear that song again.
The Madrigals: A Colombian Family with Magical Gifts
Encanto centers around the extraordinary members of the Madrigal family, who each possess a unique power.
They use their gifts to assist their small village located in the magical realm of Encanto. It’s a Spanish word that means “charm” or “enchantment” but is also used as a term of endearment.

However, one of the youngest Madrigals, Mirabel, doesn’t have a magical gift. This becomes a problem when the family’s home, Casita, begins to lose its magic.
Encanto: A Heartwarming Tale for the Pandemic Era
Released during the darkest throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, Encanto seemed to come at the perfect time.
A heartwarming tale about a family struggling to stick together rang true for the public, as many were forced to be separated from their loved ones during quarantine.
Plus, it has a super catchy soundtrack. Written by Broadway hitmaker Lin-Manuel Miranda and composed by Academy Award nominee Germaine Franco, it certainly sweetened the deal.

However, with such a large cast of characters, it can be difficult to keep track of everyone in the Madrigal family. Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed that not every character’s age was in the script. This made it even harder to make sense of the large Madrigal family tree.
Here’s everything we know about the ages of the Madrigal family members and how they compare to their voice actors:
1. Mirabel Madrigal – 15 years old
Mirabel is the protagonist of Encanto. She feels like an outcast since she doesn’t appear to have a magical gift of her own, unlike the rest of her family. Her quirky, kind demeanor makes her a wonderful vessel for this coming-of-age tale.

Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), who voices Mirabel, is quite a bit older at 41 years old. However, she said that she sees a lot of herself in Mirabel and her experiences.
As for the flashback scenes, 5-year-old Mirabel is voiced by Noemi Josephina Flores.

2. Isabela Madrigal – 21 years old
The eldest of Mirabel’s siblings, Isabela is known far and wide for her beauty and grace, which she can physically manifest by making flowers grow everywhere.
Later, when she realizes she doesn’t need to be perfect, she discovers just how powerful her gift can be. At 21, Isabela’s story arc perfectly encompasses the struggles of a beautiful woman at that age.

The equally beautiful Diane Guerrero (Orange Is the New Black), who voices Isabela, is slightly older at 35 years old.

3. Luisa Madrigal – 19 years old
The extremely buff Luisa is the last of Mirabel’s sisters. She can be seen performing amazing feats of strength, such as lifting donkeys and houses.
It’s not until later that she reveals how taxing her gift is – both physically and emotionally. Like a typical 19-year-old (and a typical middle child), Luisa keeps this struggle to herself until she’s “ready to blow.”

She is voiced by 27-year-old singer and actress Jessica Darrow. She also lends her voice to Encanto’s legendary hit “Surface Pressure,” which gives the introduction to her character in the film.
Despite the song’s success – Surface Pressure is RIAA certified platinum – Darrow is relatively new to the screen. So keep an eye out for her in the future!
Although she’s a bit older than her onscreen counterpart, Darrow is extremely outspoken about her identity as a lesbian. She loves that Luisa is a role model for girls, who don’t feel like they fit the mold of what a woman “should” be.

4. Abuela Alma Madrigal – 75 years old
The family matriarch, Abuela Alma Madrigal keeps her family in line. She’s also in charge of protecting Casita’s powers, and as a result, her family’s powers as well.
Unfortunately, Abuela Alma places too much responsibility on herself alone, lashing out at Mirabel when their powers begin to wane. Luckily, she realizes the error of her ways, making for a heartwarming end to the film.

She is voiced by 67-year-old Maria Cecilia Botero, a Colombian actress, and journalist. She has appeared in a number of Spanish-language titles, such as Lorena and Caballo Viejo.
However, Abuela’s singing voice is provided by 66-year-old Tony Award-winning Broadway performer Olga Merediz.

5. Abuelo Pedro Madrigal – 26 years old
Although Abuelo Pedro only appears in spirit during the film, he plays an integral role as his death causes the manifestation of the powers of Casita and the Madrigals.
When Abuelo Pedro crossed the river, he was intended to be the same age as 26-year-old Sebastian Yatra when he recorded his song Dos Oruguitas. This would make Abuelo Pedro 26 years old when he sacrificed himself and lost his life for his family.
6. Julieta Madrigal – 50 years old
The mother to Mirabel, Isabela, and Luisa, Julieta has the power to heal nearly any affliction through her delicious cooking and baking. At 50, she is slightly older than her other siblings (by just a few minutes, as they are triplets).

She is voiced by 47-year-old actress Angie Cepeda, who has appeared in a number of telenovelas like Pobre Diabla. Cepeda also reprised the role of Julieta for the Spanish and Italian versions of Encanto.

7. Agustin Madrigal – A little bit younger than 50 years old
Although Agustin is one of the goofiest Madrigal family members, this further endears him to his wife Julieta and daughter Mirabel. Since he was married into the family, he doesn’t possess a magical gift unlike the others.
As in many of the film’s characters, Agustin’s age is never deliberately stated. However, the creators have noted that Agustin is intended to be slightly younger than Julieta and his siblings, making him between the ages of 45 and 49.

If Agustin’s voice sounds familiar to you, it’s because he’s voiced by Demi Lovato’s ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama (That ‘70s Show). The actor is slightly younger than Agustin at 42 years old.

8. Bruno Madrigal – 50 years old
“We don’t talk about Bruno, no, no!”
Bruno is the only Madrigal with the ability to see the future. This causes him to be heavily ostracized from his family, as they begin to believe that he is a bad omen.
In all reality, Bruno can’t change or influence the future – he can only predict what will happen. Honestly, Bruno’s worst quality is telling other people when the future will be bad. It’s one thing if he’s trying to stop a truly dangerous disaster, but maybe he should use a little tact and keep the fact that it might rain on someone’s wedding day to himself…
As a triplet (and as the character that inspires what is arguably the catchiest song on Encanto’s soundtrack), it makes sense that Bruno is the same age as his 50-year-old sisters Julieta and Pepa.

He is voiced by legendary actor John Leguizamo (Romeo + Juliet, Ice Age, Moulin Rouge!), who is slightly older than his onscreen counterpart at 61 years old.

9. Pepa Madrigal – 50 years old
The last of the Madrigal triplets, Pepa shares the same age as her siblings, Julieta and Bruno. Try as she might, Pepa is dominated by her emotions, and unfortunately, so are her powers, which leads to lots of tiny thunderstorms around the Madrigal home.
Still, Pepa fiercely loves her family, her husband Felix, and her three children – Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio.

She is voiced by 38-year-old Colombian actress Carolina Gaitan who also reprised the role for the Spanish-language version of Encanto.

10. Felix Madrigal – Slightly older than 50 years old
As in the other characters, who were married into the Madrigals, the Encanto creators didn’t place too much importance on letting the viewers know how old Felix is.
What they did tell us is that Pepa’s husband is slightly older than the triplets. Felix could be anywhere from 50 to 56 years old, according to our best guesstimate.

He is voiced by 44-year-old actor and singer-songwriter Mauro Castillo, who reprised the role for the Spanish-language version of Encanto.

11. Dolores Madrigal – 21 years old
The eldest child of Pepa and Felix, Dolores has the power of superhuman hearing. This causes her to be more of a listener than a talker.
Paired with her power, she is frequently overshadowed by her same-age cousin Isabela. Luckily, Dolores realizes that she is just as important and beautiful as her cousin, even making a love connection by the end of the film!

12. Camilo Madrigal – 15 years old
A mischievous shapeshifter, Camilo is 15 years old and slightly older than Mirabel. This is why the Madrigals were so shocked that Mirabel didn’t receive a gift, since Camilo had received such a cool one just a few months earlier!
Camilo is voiced by Rhenzy Feliz, who is a tad bit older than his onscreen counterpart at 24 years old. Still, Feliz captures Camilo’s “jerky teenage brother” vibe resulting in his voice going absolutely viral with the line, “Isabela, your boyfriend’s here!” on TikTok last year.

13. Antonio Madrigal – 5 years old
Mirabel has a special bond with Antonio, who sees her as a big sister, as they share the nursery together until Antonio comes of age to receive his gift.
She does a great job of comforting and supporting Antonio, who is worried that, like her, he may not receive a unique power at all.
He eventually gets one of the coolest gifts of all: the ability to talk to animals. Although Mirabel is happy for her youngest cousin, she is a bit jealous and will definitely miss her tiny roommate.

Like his onscreen counterpart, Ravi Cabot-Conyers is one of the youngest members of the cast. At 11, he is just six years older than Antonio.

14. Mariano Guzman – 22 years old
Mariano is only a year older than both Dolores and Isabela, making him 22 years old.
Even though Mariano isn’t technically a Madrigal, there’s no way this hunk won’t end up joining the family. After ending his engagement with Isabela, he finally gained the freedom to go after his true love, Dolores!
Luckily, Dolores feels the same way. If there’s an Encanto sequel in the works, we will definitely look forward to seeing this new couple’s love bloom.
