Encanto totally steals my heart - it's my number one Disney movie! I scored this on Free Comic Book Day and it was a super adorable read for the little ones.I'm all in for an Encanto comic series. Gonna hunt that down. The Turning Red story was beyond cute! It nails those middle school vibes perfectly. I may see if Turning Red has a series as well.
