Bruno was the misunderstood villain fromĀ Encanto, the uncle of Mirabel Madrigal who mysteriously disappeared and who possessed the ability to predict the future. Bruno was voiced by comedian John Leguizamo, who was nominated for an Annie Award for his voiceover performance.
However, it was not Bruno’s endearing awkwardness or his storyline that made him so popular with fans: it was the song about him, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno“, that broke the Internet.
The Madrigal family: Luisa (voiced by Jessica Darrow), Isabela (voiced by Diane Guerrero), the matriarch Abuela Alma (voiced by MarĆa Cecilia Botero), Felix (voiceded by Mauro Castillo), Julieta (voiced by Angie Cepeda), Pepa (voiced by Carolina GaitĆ”n), AgustĆn (voiced by Wilmer Valderrama), Camilo (voiced by Rhenzy Feliz), Antonio (voiced by Ravi Cabot-Conyers), and Dolores (voiced by Adassa) and Mirabel Madrigal (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz).

“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” broke multiple Disney records — including records that had been held by classic Disney songs and more modern hits like “Let It Go” — and there have been rumors that theĀ EncantoĀ Disney Park ride could be a dark ride about the song.
Bruno will most likely stay mum on this subject if you’re lucky enough to meet him at this year’s Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland, but his appearance will still be a big deal for the EncantoĀ fans who know his song by heart!
He will be. Multiple costuming & entertainment CMs confirmed.
