Encanto gets the tonies treatment
Disney’s Encanto now has its own Tonie.
The Encanto Tonie launched in the US a few weeks ago and immediately became the number one best-seller. It’s also now available in the UK.
The hand painted Tonie features Mirabel, the lead character in the film, and includes readings of the Encanto story with the original cast, in both English and Spanish, as well as songs like We Don’t Talk About Bruno, Family Madrigal and Surface Pressure.
