The Town Kids are a group of children featured in the 2021 Disney animated feature film Encanto. They consist of three kids living in the Encanto town: Juancho, who drinks coffee despite being young; Cecilia, who is the kindest and sweetest of her friends; and Alejandra, a noisy and rambunctious girl.
