Encanto's 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' achieves historic feat for Disney after 29 years

Disney's latest animated musical fantasy drama Encanto has added another feather to its hat with the superhit track We Don't Talk About Bruno. Crooned by almost the entire cast of the film, the track had earlier made history by surpassing Disney's 2013 Frozen track Let It Go on Billboard Top 100 chart becoming the studio's highest-charting song since 1995. Directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, the tracks of the film are written by celebrated singer-songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda.
