Whirlpool Brand Celebrates Disney's Encanto, Brings A Touch Of Magic To Families Everywhere
Ahead of its theatrical release, Whirlpool brand today announces a collaboration with Disney's Encanto, coming to theaters November 24.
Encanto tells the story of a family that lives hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a magical house that blesses each of the family members with unique gifts. Through the film, it is clear that a touch of magic can play a meaningful role in the home. Whirlpool brand believes in the immense power of small acts of care and how a touch of magic can help make caregiving easier for all families.
"The themes presented in Encanto are a perfect match for Whirlpool brand.Throughout the film, Mirabel performs acts of care for her own family, with a little help from her magical home," said Nelly Martinez, senior brand manager, Whirlpool. "At Whirlpool brand, we like to think we put a touch of magic into our smart home innovations to help make acts of care like cooking easier for all families."
Through its lineup of smart kitchen and laundry innovations, such as the Whirlpool® Smart Slide-in Electric Range with Scan-to-Cook Technology, families can create their own magic at home by simplifying everyday household tasks. Some of the magical connected features Whirlpool brand offers include:
- Scan-to-Cook Technology: Get the right settings every time. Scan a frozen food barcode with a smartphone or tablet and send recommended or customized cooking instructions straight to the oven for dinner done the way the family wants it.1,2
- Yummly® Guided Cooking: Recipes with the Connected Fork icon in the Yummly® App include step-by-step video tutorials that provide the extra assistance needed on busy days. Prompts in the app can send cooking instructions straight to a Whirlpool® smart range at the right times, so dinner's ready when the family's hungry.3
- Multi-Step Cooking: Make multi-step meals more simple. Use a smartphone or tablet to send multiple cooking instructions to the oven or microwave all at once. The temperature automatically adjusts based on the recipe entered, for great results without having to monitor the meal.4
- Frozen Bake™ Technology: Families can skip preheating with Frozen Bake™ technology. Cook frozen food with pre-programmed settings that automatically adjust cooking times to help get select dinner items like pizza and lasagna from the oven to the table in less time.
"We can't wait to share Encanto with audiences around the world," said Jan Coleman, Vice President Global Partnerships & Multicultural at Disney. "It is a story about the Madrigals - each child in this family is blessed with a magical gift like super strength or shape-shifting. But at its core, Encanto is a story about all of our families and the relationships within our homes - even if our houses don't come alive like the one in the film. Fortunately, Whirlpool brand brings a little magic home for us all, helping families everywhere to easily care for one another."
