If you missed it in theaters at the end of last year, you can now watch Encanto online from home - it's available to members of the Disney Plus streaming service at no extra charge. And because it's exclusive to that platform, you won't find the movie anywhere else. In other words, you'll have to sign up if you want to stream Encanto.

So, how much does a membership cost? You'll find the full details in your region below, but it's pretty affordable either way. A Disney Plus subscription isn't much more expensive than a couple of coffees, so you don't need a second mortgage to stream Encanto. In addition, there's no extra paywall (known as Premier Access and used in 2021 for Black Widow) locking you out of being able to watch Encanto online. If you have a membership, you can login and see the film right away.

Let's get to it, shall we? Here's exactly how much it costs to watch Encanto online where you are. You'll find tips on how to take advantage of good Disney Plus sign-up deals here too, so you may be able to save some cash as well.
