Lin-Manuel Miranda Live-Tweeted 'Encanto' And The Behind-The-Scenes Details Are Magical
Encanto is a major cultural phenomenon like only Disney is capable of producing. That phenomenon includes a hit soundtrack and a No. 1 song, "We Don't Talk About Bruno," written by Broadway legend Lin-Manuel Miranda. While the film was at the peak of the cultural conversation, Miranda went on Twitter to watch the movie with fans and shared some awesome behind-the scenes details.

Before I wrote Dos Oruguitas, this was the Abuela section of the opening #. My late friend Doreen Montalvo sang the demo, it was our last time working together. -LMM #Encanto pic.twitter.com/4N2tq5X7yU
