Regarding Mirabel’s gift: I personally think that the magic absorbed into Mirabel’s dress when she wiped the candle residue on it and therefore the magic was in her the whole entire time.
For her gift to be (non-injury) repair, symbolized by her being introduced with a sewing machine in the present, her outfit embroidered all along one line as though it had a lengthwise rip, stain or burn to fix, her first song being about her whole family, the prophecy trying to show her repairing the house, and her getting the whole town rebuilding the house without magic. As though the magic family suddenly needed equality with the non-magic neighbors, and this prevented the community from resenting their dependence on the magic family with the "man-down strategy." also, Isabela, the Elsa of this family is queer. Maybe Bruno is also queer, and will maybe marry someone who has been widowed and adopt the coffee chorus children. That would explain why the creators specified that adopted children can have gifts.
My personal theory: The candle had to go. It was part of what kept Alma focused on the magic, not who the magic was for. That's why when Mirabel reawoke it, it was without a candle.
The whole thing with Abuelito Pedro being Casita would make way too much sense!! The fact the his spirit lives in the house, he protects and watches over his family… he’s basically the family’s guardian Angel… too much of a coincidence. ❤️❤️❤️
To me Mirabel’s gift seems fairly obvious: her symbol is a butterfly. It means her gift is her ability to transform things so they can be a beautiful evolution of what they were. Everyone with powers learns a better and more free way to use them after her influence. Isabella starts going beyond perfect, Luisa frees herself from the pressure, Bruno sees his power in a different light, Abuela stops being so overbearing, the house is rebuilt and even the townspeople become a closer community. If everyone at the beginning of the film were a caterpillar, Mirabel would be the cocoon that turns them into a butterfly. Her power is transformation, which is why she doesn’t have a room, because there’s no point in her having one.
Now that you have said that i feel like the perfect power/gift for her would be able to transform things or anyone into anything basically just like sersi
That is true ... also throughout the movie, I saw Mirabel and Casita communicate with each other but I never saw anyone else talk to Casita! My theory: Mirabel is the only one that can communicate with Casita OR she's the only one that treats Casita like more than a house, because she has no gift and spends a lot of time alone so Casita was her only friend growing up
Since everyone’s room is to help flourish and nurture their gifts, it makes sense that the casita is Maribel’s “room” since her gift is loving and nurturing her family. To have that gift grow and flourish, she needs access to the whole house where everyone is!
After Casita is reanimated if you look at the doors on the second floor none of them have people's names or pictures on them any more, they're just sparkly like before they are assigned. When the producer was tweeting about it he hinted you should look at the end to see the answer for the "Why doesn't Mirabel have a door question." I think they intended everyone to get a new door/room as part of the house's/ family's new foundation.
Mirabel is the human embodiment of the miracle. She is the candle. She makes sure the family is there to help their community, reminds them of their worth with or without powers. Besides Alma, she’s the only one speaking to casita. She’s the next chosen matriarch of the family
I had a theory while I watched the movie. After Antonio gets his gift, why is THAT the moment that causes the cracks to happen? It's because that's the moment Abuela stops loving Mirabel. She now knows she was just a fluke, since the giving of gifts haven't run out like she feared.
Ouch I think Casita started breaking because Mirabel felt left out. You know, what she was feeling while singing Waiting on a Miracle. And what you said- Is too painful to be true.
Alma wanted Mariano to marry Isabella because he looked like Pedro, and Isabella looked like her No wonder she saw it as a perfect marriage because she saw herself in Isabella and Pedro in Mariano
@@staarfall5317 I think she weakened the walls so he could break through more easily, because there's no way a bucket would allow him to do that and not be injured.
@@staarfall5317 I don't believe Bruno blew a whole through the wall with just his head while wearing a bucket. I mean, that was funny and all, but let's be real: It's way more believable to think the house let him do it since it was already breaking. I also love the perspective of the Casita protecting Bruno throughout his time living inside the walls because it was Pedro's soul all along. The father protecting his son, who was protecting his granddaughter.
Fun Fact: Maribel never received a special gift because her strength was helping her loved her loved ones, so there was nothing else that the magic needed to enhance. Most of the families' abilities tie into their personality in some form (Luisa is strong because she wants to be of service, Isabela makes plants because she loves botany, and Dolores hears everything because she can be SUPER nosy at times!)
I actually thought differently. Isabella is the eldest and expected to be the perfect child so ends up with the gift of botany. As a bud that never blooms properly. Dolores being the 2nd grandchild feels unheard against the perfect Isabella hence her gift is of hearing. Luisa being the 3rd and by this time the help everyone mentality has been drilled so hard, and not being the favourite, she wants to have an identity so chooses to service. Camilo choosing to "hide" from the pressure by legit camouflaging himself. Antonio being so young and not influenced as much by Abuela is free to cultivate his gift himself. Hence, Abuela saying they will find a use for his gift.
Here's a little detail when Alma/Abuela was yelling at Mirabel She said "I didn't know why you weren't given a gift but it is not an excuse for you to hurt THIS family" Alma said "This family" Not "Our family" So that means Abuela didn't see Mirabel as a part of the Madrigals
also when augustin and julietta confront abuela, she says "we must protect our family. we cannot lose our home" when talking about mirabel being a problem. her word choice shows that she basically disowned mirabel and is trying to create this division between the family and mirabel. i think the part where mirabel and abuela are yelling at each other is super telling because a huge crack cuts in between them. (sorry for my rambling lol)
@@vitaminsrgood4u it means everything. The miracle is for the family not the point of the family, yet Abuela ostracized Mirabel because of her lack of a gift.
I think her wiping her hands isn't sad. Sad because everyone didn't notice. But when she wiped the power into herself. She unknowingly made herself the new candle. She is the source of the magic now and not the candle. The candle after she absorbed it only served as a visual representation of Mirabel's current emotional state. Antonio gained his powers because he held on to Mirabel's arm not touching the candle. When she said to Luisa that she was taking on too much she subconsciously slowly turned off her gift which forced her to stop working and rest. And of course the magic only returned when she finished the house with the door knob. Now that the candle is gone they will later realize she is the source when it is time for the next child to get their gift.
Msmojo: were gonna steer clear of sad theories Also msmojo: Luisa was the first to be taken advantage of because of her gift Edit: wow! I really did not expect to get this many likes AND a heart from msmojo! Thx everyone
@@aleynahallie9506 Mirabel was intuitive, compassionate and loved her family. In the movie she shared a room with her young cousin. She gave him a gift which was a toy animal which ended up being his gift. It seemed like she was able to determine the gift. Once Luisa and Isabela spoke to Maribel about their problems, Luisa started to lose her strength power and Isabela started to make other flowers besides perfect roses.
My fan theory is that Mirabel's gift is to be the Encanto's "battery backup." She can only use her gift when the Encanto is destroyed so as to bring it back. Thus, her butterfly outfits parallel the candle's appearance. Additionally, when her door retreats during her gift ceremony, it's the Casita making its backup.
Along the same lines, until Antonio was born 5 years later, Mirabel was the youngest grandchild, and Alma was old enough that she might not see her great-grandchildren, especially them being old enough to get a door. Casita needed someone to hold the magic when Alma passed away, and Mirabel had the heart to be a good candidate, and was likely to be old enough to handle the responsibility when Alma did die some unknown years later.
4:45 i think Julieta could have also been taken advantage of but not as much as Luisa. During the Family Madrigal song it shows everyone depending on her to be healed
I feel like Mirabel is actually the casita in human form, much like Elsa is the fifth element in human form in the ‘Frozen’ franchise. Even though Mirabel doesn’t have a gift, she is looking out for everyone in her family.
When Dolores sang the part where she says she can hear Bruno on the walls, I mean she can LITERALLY hear Bruno since Bruno's hideout entrance is next to Dolores' room
I always thought Pedro was the Casita because of how the they both waved , Pedro using his right hand , and the Casita waving the right side of the window
Pedro as the Casita makes a lot of sense, he's watching over his family, protecting them as the house falls apart and losing the last of his power to protect Mirabel from the rubble.
That and I think the entire casita is her room. While subtle, her power may have been related to transformation, as we saw that she was able to change things more than once in the movie. She didn't need a room because hers was related to her entire family, which would encompass the whole house
Mirabel is the chosen one, the last to hold the candle before went out. From now and on, the gift will be given by the personality, she actually gave the power to Antonio before the candle did. She is the keeper, the holder and the giver. I also think is Pedro reincarnation because we got a lot of out grandparents, at least her heart and character could be related to Abuelo Pedro.
After three months of reviewing some fan theories from Disney’s 60th film Encanto, does anybody else agree that this film should WIN an Oscar for best animatedfeature and or best original song?!
I find the idea of Mirabel not getting a room because she is supposed to become the matriarch and get Abuela’s room fascinating. My theory is that the entire town is magic now. Before casita’s magic stopped at the entrance. When the power came back a flash went through the entire encanto and the pathway leading up to the casita could now move. It moved the whole town into the casita. So maybe all the streets in the encanto can move now.
I think that once Abuela passed away, Mirabel will go into her room to get some things and when she puts her hand on the door knob, it'll change the door and show Abuela Alma's hand on Mirabels' shoulder and she'll become the new protector of the Encanto Idk I love that theory
Can I be honest? I hope none of these theories ever get confirmed/denied. Not because they're bad or good, but because I liked how vague and ambiguous the whole movie is. There is no definite Yes or No, no simple solution for everything. Neither in fiction nor in reality. The worst thing Disney could do is make a sequel/prequel to explain where the lore, the miracle and the gifts came from. Everybody watching Encanto will come to different conclusion and learn a different lesson, each more true to your personal questions than a film could ever provide you with. Let Encanto be ambiguous knowing that sometimes you cannot answer every question you have and that is okay
If they make a sequel I hope it's more about them fixing their family disfunction and becoming better people for themselves, their family and community
I don’t need an explanation of the lore. I just want a mini series with the characters interacting more and maybe give dolores and camilo to get their own songs.
My hypothesis is that to "save the miracle" Mirabelle needed to understand the stresses of and embrace each of the family members who were cracking. Alma, Isabella, Luisa, Bruno and herself. While Mirabelle's embrace of Bruno was symbolic (after i save the miracle, I'm bringing you home), she nevertheless extended her love to her Tio Bruno. However the last two embraces also required Abuela Alma. Alma also had to embrace her estranged child and grandchild to heal the cracks in the family's foundation.
Pedro being Casita, and the power of 3 are the ones that hit home for me. Maribel powers being Casita itself, doesn't hold up for me, since Casita was first established when Maribel's mother was just a baby (before Maribel was a thought). Maribel being the next Matriarch makes the most sense for me. Her guiding her family in their time of need and opening the door for them when Casita was resurrection, was kind of symbolic for ushering in a new age. A passing of the torch, if you will. Whatever the creators had in mind, Encanto is a great movie that allows us all the freedom to create our own narratives
When Pedro's sacrifice created the magical candle and the house, it reminded me of Monster House when Nebbercracker's wife's spirit was bringing the house to life after her tragic passing. It would make sense that his spirit is making the house move. And that the family is using their powers to help the community instead using them to fight bad guys.
@@Coco-pk3qq You should. It's a movie that people don't often talk about. It's actually good. Encanto made me think about that movie so that's why I bought it up.
@@Coco-pk3qq Yeah. I don't know if it's too scary or what but it should be talked about. Especially since it was executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
I bet this has been said before but I’m pretty sure they all represent a sense Dolores: hearing Camilo: sight Antonio: speech Isabella: smell (flowers) Louisa: touch
I was definitely thinking about #1 throughout the entire film. Abuela has no magical gifts, so she protects the candle. That's why Mirabel has no gifts. She's next in line for Guardian.
The grandkids family powers also have a theme! Mirabel, Louisa and Isabel- Brain, Brawn and Beauty Dolores, Camillo, Antonio- Hear, See, Speak (SENCES!)
Mirabel actually has the best gift. She has butterflies on her dress and there is a butterfly on the candle. There was also a butterfly in Bruno's second vision and that same butterfly was sitting on a plant at the end of the movie. Mirabel was the miracle.
Honestly I love the idea that Pedro was reincarnated into the Casita. Especially since Mirabel is the one that talks to it the most and compliments and jokes around with it. I think Mirabel is the Casita‘s favorite especially since it was able to interact with her in her room far longer than it was able to with the others. She’s also the one that talks to it as if it has its own thoughts and feelings. She greats and tells it goodbye when the family comes and goes. It tries to protect her when Augustine discovers that she has Bruno‘s vision and when she grabs the candle. This would also mean that Mirabel would have been Pedro’s favorite if he was alive as a human.
I think Mirabel received her gift right after touching candle. Instead of the magic being transferred to the door the young Mirabel TOUCHED HERSELF by doing so the gift was transferred to her instead of the door.
I thought about the Abuelo being the source of the miracle thing independently, going into further details such as why Mirabel didn't get a gift which ties into the Luisa being exploited (I just think cracks were starting to show in how much the gifts were weighing on them before Luisa), if they were meant to simply be gifts, and expression of love by Abuelo, they were also not meant to hurt them, making Abuelo question the wisdom of giving them gifts in time for Mirabel's ceremony, but seeing how well that worked out for her, changed his mind again for Antonio (the little bean
I love the theory where abuelo pedro is the casita, it just makes the movie 100x more cuter and just more amazing!! rewatching the movie with that thought in mind just made it completely different in the best way possible!!!
I want to cry this was amazing, the movie was amazing it will forever be one of my most favorites it also kinda shows how a family can be abusive in a way that they don't even know that they are being abusive. it happens to every single family no matter how sweet or happy they are. there's always something
The theory that Mirabel didnt get a room because the “matriarch room” is still occupied is kind of morbid, like Mirabel signals the end and beginning of an era
Everyone wears their gift on their clothing (chameleons on Camilo, sound waves on Dolores, weights on Luisa, flowers on Isabella, etc) Maribel and Abuela Alma both wear butterflies further tying them together with the candle and Abuelo Pedro.
I feel Mirabel didn't get her gift because she didn't feel she deserved it or could live up to her gift. In the end the whole family came together to tell her that she is a miracle and worthy of her gift. That's when she is able to heal the house .
I think Mirabel is the heart of the Casita. It's what makes sense to me. When Abuela yells at her, the house falls apart but it doesn't do that until after she was at such a high because she thought she had saved the magic and the family when she hugged Isabella. She did that because it's what Bruno's vision told her she needed to do to save the magic. She saw the candle get brighter and she was so excited and then Abuela comes in and breaks her heart because all she's ever tried to do is make her family proud of her. But she finally realized that there was NOTHING she could do that would make that happen when it came to Abuela. She knew that her and her sisters could try forever and still wouldn't manage it. It's the same reason we saw the cracks in Casita to begin with when everyone was partying but she was feeling completely left out and wanting deeply to be given a gift like the rest of her family but she wasn't like them. That heartache is where the cracks came from and then later the complete feeling of rejection and heartbreak are what causes the Casita to fall!
Two things 1) Anyone notice that Pepa wears yellow clothing. Julieta wears blue-ish clothing. And Bruno wears green. Yellow mixed with blue = green. Going to prove that the Past (Julieta's ability to heal past injuries) + the Present (Pepa's ability to affect the current weather) = the Future (Bruno's prophecy ability) 2) During Antonio's gifting ceremony, Abuela says "We have a new gift" and everyone cheers. Notice that when everyone cheers, Delores covers her ears because at that point everything is loud because everyone is making a sound at once.
Also, the last name chosen for the family was Madrigal which is a “part-song for several voices, especially one of the Renaissance period”. Which is interesting because you can think of the family as an orchestra. Each family member has a gift or as in an orchestra, a musical talent in a specific instrument. However, an orchestra cannot play perfectly without a CONDUCTOR which doesn’t necessarily play an instrument or in other words have a ‘gift’ because their job is not to play but to conduct/lead. Abuela is the conductor and Mirabel is the upcoming conductor which explains why neither have a gift.
I always thought that Mirabel didn’t get her gift since she wiped her hand on the dress but if she tried again and did not wipe her hand on dress I think she would get a gift
can you imagine that bruno has to make a super awesome sandstorm of a gift with individuals only to show granular prophecies like,, their pet goldfish died, grow a gut, or lose hair?
There is also a theory that states that Isabela's gift was actually the most helpful for the community because it could protect the environment and ecosystem of the Ecanto.
Personal theory : in the beginning because Mirabel wiped her hand after touching the candle, she got the magic inside her and if you look closer in her clothes you can actually see that it has everyone’s powers as symbol and she wear’s that dress that has symbol of a jaguar and the bird even before antino got his gift so this means that she knew that antino will be able to talk to animals and that’s the reason why she gave him a stuffed jaguar toy on his gift ceremony!
The theories I hope are proven right are: Casita is Mirabel’s room (since I knew that was mostly likely true since the beginning since she has a close bond with casita), Pedro is Casita (I came to that realization after I watched Encanto for the first time and after hearing some theories about it), and that Mirabel didn’t get a gift because she’s destined to become the next leader of the Madrigals after Abeula passes as well as being the keeper of the miracle (since I think most of us knew that to be the reason for her not getting a gift after watching Encanto for the first time).
I think theories 1 & 2 are true. That Pedro's spirit went into the candle and the Casita, and that Maribel is destined to be the next Matriarch/guardian of the miracle. Both those theories make so much sense!
It would be nice if the source of this magic was a prehispanic civilization in colombia. There are article that claim paramilitars in colombia ( Fans of Uribe) act still as colonizers in their own country, displacing and killing tribes.
I have a theory that the magic comes from the Mesoamerican gods. Like if you look at what each of the Madrigals can do it lines up with an ability of a god from that pantheon.
@@Actionfan19 I think i could mix all in a single theory. Both abuela and abuelo have mesoamerican roots even mayan or chibcha (i hear some stuff of encanto are based also from colombia). They were trying to escape some paramilitarist group after their marriage, but abuelo sacrifice. Luckily abuela was close enough to an old temple/shrine of ancient times, and thats how the magic appears. (The temple could be buried deep below the town or la casita)
I agree if you recall when Mirabel enters to Bruno's room there are images of ancient gods made of stone in the walls of the room (where not even casita has power) also this gods and godesses images are surrounded nu emeralds which are part of Muisca's mythology (an ancient tribe from Colombia) not to emntion The prophecies were green as emeralds and Bruno's eyes turned into green after he had to do some sort of magic ritual for receive them.
@@Actionfan19 Not mesoamerican. Colombia had its own pantheon, specially the muisca's pantheon is conected with the emerald( hence why the prophecy is green as well as Bruno's eyes) and it's the origin of the "El Dorado" myth
@@youredelicious9945 This is what I get for not doing proper research. I got no clue which portion of south/central America worships what Devine beings.
My current favorite theory, which unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the person who first posited it, is that Abuela had the gift of barrier. She created the mountains to separate the village from danger. She created the casita to protect her family from the environment. She created the doors to give privacy. But she also created boundaries in everyone's life. They could only see themselves as the physical embodiment of their powers, such as Luisa being "the strong one". Mirabel's gift was the removal of barriers, which is why her door disappears when she touches it. She literally removed the symbol of isolation a private room creates. She gets everyone to open up with a single question, no matter how long they had been holding it all back. So when the house returns at Mirabel's touch, it is a house with no barriers. Everyone is free to be themselves. It was time for the chrysalis to open and free the butterflies, so the house gave them Mirabel to create the cracks.
Regarding the theory that the Casita is Mirabel's room, I would like to point out that Casita pretty much chose for Mirabel to save the candle. Isabella and Camilo looked like they were so close to reaching the candle but Casita still chose not to give them that extra boost to be able to reach the candle.
1:12 the fact he went around the outside of the- presumably, capybara- instead of avoiding by pouring around on the inside... It has general positive symbolism which could have effected the prophesy in some way. He said you couldn't speed up the future, not that you cant alter it. Maybe it caused it to have a more positive outcome? Since he said it was the same vision until she spotted the butterfly
The "magic" of the Encanto, of the Casita, of the family... is love. True love brought about by Pedro and Alma. That´s why the candle is extinguished and cracks form. Because love is no longer the priority. Mirabel didn´t get a gift because she´s the magic. She´s the new matriarch, meant to keep them all together through her love and compassion. She´s quite literally the heart of the house as shown on the new door, or as Bruno said "the real gift".
I like the idea that Casita is Pedro but I also like the idea that Casita acts like an assistive technology to Mirabelsince she’s one of only people that directly speaks to la Casita. I also like the idea that you could kind of interpret Mirabel as being Neuro divergent and the family having their own psychological things they work through
First trio = 2 girls and 1 boy [Alma's & pedro's kids] Second trio = 2 boys and 1 girl [Pepa's & felix's kids] Third trio = 3 girls [Isabella,luisa, maribel] Forth trio [theory: maybe dolores's & mariano's babies] = trio of all boys.
Theory that Dilores and Mariano actually have 5 children, but in keeping up with the trifecta they have 2 sets of twins, and a single child who gains the power to duplicate themselves
To be honest I thought that Mirabel's gift was hidden and that her secret gift was to be able to heal like: When she fixed her relationship with Abuela When she helped Bruno When she helped Luisa When she helped Isabella When she put the doorknob on the house the magic returned(would that have worked if someone else have put it back on) Or maybe she's just a super smart girl who loves her family. She's the greatest anyway.
It also might not be something she can heal. Like, Mirabel had glasses from a young age, so we can assume it wasn't from injury or anything. There is nothing to "regain", as it was not there in the first place. They were simply born with below average eyesight. It's like, you can't make someone stronger if they weren't strong before if your powers are healing. There is no injury, nothing to heal.
As someone who wears glasses due to myopia: its neither an illness nor a disability, as it can be corrected by a simple surgery or you can live with glasses with no debilitating factors in your life. Julieta might've not cured it because Agustín and Mirabel probably just have myopia, which isn't that great a deal
My theory is that Mirabel is the next Abuela. She has to take the candle and help the future of the family she takes the place of abuela when she passes. I find that foreshadowing when she guides Felix and Pepas son to get his gift, like Abuela did to maribel. Deciding what’s right and what’s wrong, since she’s smart and has a true heart.
Okay so it think that i have a theory: What if Mirabel didn't get her gift because abuela mostly focused on Julieta's side of the family and not really on Pepa's? Like Julieta's gift is more useful then Pepa's, Isabela was the "perfect" one, Luisa was pressured into helping everyone, yet almost nobody from Pepa's side is seen "helping"? ig. So maybe Mirabel not getting a gift is a sign to abuela that she should focus on the whole family not just what they're worth?
Abuela did say to Antonio that she would find a use to his gift for the community. Dolores and Camilo might have contributed to the community but it wasn't shown in the movie due to the limited time.
@@midnights2631 : Camilo was seen giving the young mother a break from her infant during the opening song. As has been pointed out by others, the bottom of his door is lined with seats facing a stage. In less hectic times, I can see him putting on one man/boy shows, as well as plays with other members of the community.
The whole "Abuela Alma and Mirabel are very similar yet so different" is one of the many reasons i love Encanto. Their relationship reminds me of mine and my grandma's relationship. They both only want the best for the family but they both have different ways to do so. I swear this entire family reminds me of my own and that just makes me so happy for some reason
Mirabel’s ‘Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood’ (knocking on her family’s doors) at the beginning of the film signaled her connection to Bruno :P. Plus, if she’s usually the first one up to go set the table, she’s probably the first person Bruno saw every morning from behind the family tree picture.
I wish that Julieta or pepa has a child or twins who can go back in time to help mirabel get her gift back after they figure out what she did wrong I NEED a sequel for enchanto
Freakin Alma….she’s got that judgy matriarch look all the time. She looks at you and she’s judging you. If I were Mirabel , I would not stick around to take the shade from family who actually got gifts. I’d be like “bye”
I think the reason Casita responds to Abuela and Mirabel only is because they are the only once seen talking to Abuelo Pedro (Mirabel greeting him and Abuela asking him for help)
Actually mirable has had a gift the whole time if u noticed In the movie a lot of the time the house did what she said and that I could be wrong but I BELIVE her gift is that she has control over the house or she could be. The next to look out for everyone after abula passes

mirabels gift is hugs, she hugs everyone an they all get better
I want the theory that the spirit of Casita is actually Pedro's spirit to be true. 🤞🏾
@@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115 same
Regarding Mirabel’s gift: I personally think that the magic absorbed into Mirabel’s dress when she wiped the candle residue on it and therefore the magic was in her the whole entire time.
For her gift to be (non-injury) repair, symbolized by her being introduced with a sewing machine in the present, her outfit embroidered all along one line as though it had a lengthwise rip, stain or burn to fix, her first song being about her whole family, the prophecy trying to show her repairing the house, and her getting the whole town rebuilding the house without magic. As though the magic family suddenly needed equality with the non-magic neighbors, and this prevented the community from resenting their dependence on the magic family with the "man-down strategy."
also, Isabela, the Elsa of this family is queer. Maybe Bruno is also queer, and will maybe marry someone who has been widowed and adopt the coffee chorus children. That would explain why the creators specified that adopted children can have gifts.
My personal theory: The candle had to go. It was part of what kept Alma focused on the magic, not who the magic was for. That's why when Mirabel reawoke it, it was without a candle.
But with a dOoRkNoB
It's Trolls 2 all over again.
mirabel is the candle
Maribel is the gift so I think she’s the new candle. Then the next gift would be Maribels grandchild
@@jamiebeckum1989 idk, why is it mirabel? why is she the one with that gift?
The whole thing with Abuelito Pedro being Casita would make way too much sense!! The fact the his spirit lives in the house, he protects and watches over his family… he’s basically the family’s guardian Angel… too much of a coincidence. ❤️❤️❤️
Right?!!
@@MsMojo yup!! ❤️❤️
I am in complete agreement with you about the casita being Pedro.
@@Showtunediva thank you ❤️❤️
Plus, it gives some solace to Bruno spending nearly a decade in the walls. He wasn't totally alone, his papa was there with him.
To me Mirabel’s gift seems fairly obvious: her symbol is a butterfly. It means her gift is her ability to transform things so they can be a beautiful evolution of what they were. Everyone with powers learns a better and more free way to use them after her influence. Isabella starts going beyond perfect, Luisa frees herself from the pressure, Bruno sees his power in a different light, Abuela stops being so overbearing, the house is rebuilt and even the townspeople become a closer community. If everyone at the beginning of the film were a caterpillar, Mirabel would be the cocoon that turns them into a butterfly. Her power is transformation, which is why she doesn’t have a room, because there’s no point in her having one.
This... a 1000x this
Oh, this, this is perfect
Now that you have said that i feel like the perfect power/gift for her would be able to transform things or anyone into anything basically just like sersi
The entire Casita is her room
This is a very deep perspective, and it makes totally sense.
I honestly think that Casita is Mirabel's gift. Like how Moana can communicate with the sea.
Same here and that her grandpa’s soul is apart of the casita as well.
And Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote songs for both Moana and Encanto. Technically, not an important fact, but still a fun one.
That was my thought too!
@@patriciomejia1114 The song writer from Coco also helped with the songs too.
That is true ... also throughout the movie, I saw Mirabel and Casita communicate with each other but I never saw anyone else talk to Casita!
My theory: Mirabel is the only one that can communicate with Casita OR she's the only one that treats Casita like more than a house, because she has no gift and spends a lot of time alone so Casita was her only friend growing up
Since everyone’s room is to help flourish and nurture their gifts, it makes sense that the casita is Maribel’s “room” since her gift is loving and nurturing her family. To have that gift grow and flourish, she needs access to the whole house where everyone is!
After Casita is reanimated if you look at the doors on the second floor none of them have people's names or pictures on them any more, they're just sparkly like before they are assigned. When the producer was tweeting about it he hinted you should look at the end to see the answer for the "Why doesn't Mirabel have a door question." I think they intended everyone to get a new door/room as part of the house's/ family's new foundation.
Mirabel is the human embodiment of the miracle. She is the candle. She makes sure the family is there to help their community, reminds them of their worth with or without powers. Besides Alma, she’s the only one speaking to casita. She’s the next chosen matriarch of the family
I had a theory while I watched the movie. After Antonio gets his gift, why is THAT the moment that causes the cracks to happen? It's because that's the moment Abuela stops loving Mirabel. She now knows she was just a fluke, since the giving of gifts haven't run out like she feared.
Ouch, that hit me in the heart
oh............... that hurt
wow.
💔
Ouch
I think Casita started breaking because Mirabel felt left out. You know, what she was feeling while singing Waiting on a Miracle.
And what you said-
Is too painful to be true.
Alma wanted Mariano to marry Isabella because he looked like Pedro, and Isabella looked like her
No wonder she saw it as a perfect marriage because she saw herself in Isabella and Pedro in Mariano
Did not see that one! Great call!! Makes so much sense now!
I just realised that :o
Wow I see it now
and Pedro was a writer
What a narcissistic grandma 👵
AND Casita knew Bruno was sneaking in and out but never blew his cover.
but casita didn't help bruno get out when it was crumbling...?
@@staarfall5317 I don't think Casita had the ability to. She couldn't help Mira in Bruno's room, or inside the walls.
@@staarfall5317 In between the walls is like our bodies. Casita could not see within herself. Not even in the magical rooms.
@@staarfall5317 I think she weakened the walls so he could break through more easily, because there's no way a bucket would allow him to do that and not be injured.
@@staarfall5317 I don't believe Bruno blew a whole through the wall with just his head while wearing a bucket. I mean, that was funny and all, but let's be real: It's way more believable to think the house let him do it since it was already breaking. I also love the perspective of the Casita protecting Bruno throughout his time living inside the walls because it was Pedro's soul all along. The father protecting his son, who was protecting his granddaughter.
Fun Fact: Maribel never received a special gift because her strength was helping her loved her loved ones, so there was nothing else that the magic needed to enhance. Most of the families' abilities tie into their personality in some form (Luisa is strong because she wants to be of service, Isabela makes plants because she loves botany, and Dolores hears everything because she can be SUPER nosy at times!)
I thought it was cos she wiped her hands before she touched her door. I mean she was the only one who did it and didn't get a gift
@@Le_Ghey_Boi the creators confirmed it was just cause she gets sweaty af hands
I actually thought differently.
Isabella is the eldest and expected to be the perfect child so ends up with the gift of botany. As a bud that never blooms properly.
Dolores being the 2nd grandchild feels unheard against the perfect Isabella hence her gift is of hearing.
Luisa being the 3rd and by this time the help everyone mentality has been drilled so hard, and not being the favourite, she wants to have an identity so chooses to service.
Camilo choosing to "hide" from the pressure by legit camouflaging himself.
Antonio being so young and not influenced as much by Abuela is free to cultivate his gift himself. Hence, Abuela saying they will find a use for his gift.
@@Le_Ghey_Boi I was thinking the same! I would also think that Mirabel was going to take over Abuela's role, she passes.
Here's a little detail when Alma/Abuela was yelling at Mirabel
She said "I didn't know why you weren't given a gift but it is not an excuse for you to hurt THIS family"
Alma said "This family" Not "Our family" So that means Abuela didn't see Mirabel as a part of the Madrigals
This is the reasoni hate abuela
also when augustin and julietta confront abuela, she says "we must protect our family. we cannot lose our home" when talking about mirabel being a problem. her word choice shows that she basically disowned mirabel and is trying to create this division between the family and mirabel. i think the part where mirabel and abuela are yelling at each other is super telling because a huge crack cuts in between them. (sorry for my rambling lol)
@@pieceofbogus110 yes fuck abuela
This doesn’t really mean anything though.😕
@@vitaminsrgood4u it means everything. The miracle is for the family not the point of the family, yet Abuela ostracized Mirabel because of her lack of a gift.
I think her wiping her hands isn't sad. Sad because everyone didn't notice. But when she wiped the power into herself. She unknowingly made herself the new candle. She is the source of the magic now and not the candle. The candle after she absorbed it only served as a visual representation of Mirabel's current emotional state. Antonio gained his powers because he held on to Mirabel's arm not touching the candle. When she said to Luisa that she was taking on too much she subconsciously slowly turned off her gift which forced her to stop working and rest. And of course the magic only returned when she finished the house with the door knob. Now that the candle is gone they will later realize she is the source when it is time for the next child to get their gift.
that is good but I think Mirabel's gift is that her feelings control casita. Think about it when she was sad the house started to crack.
The candle created and controlled before mirabel the house before so the two theories are related.
Thats a good theory
trueeeeee
Msmojo: were gonna steer clear of sad theories
Also msmojo: Luisa was the first to be taken advantage of because of her gift
Edit: wow! I really did not expect to get this many likes AND a heart from msmojo! Thx everyone
LMFAO
I was thinking the same thing!!!
The hearts go away if you edit your comment 😭
@@crysvdz yeah, I realised that a fee days ago. Thx anyway tho : )
I dont get it lol
Mirabel didn’t have a physical gift but she did have a gift. She actually had multiple gifts.
Well now im confused
.
@@aleynahallie9506 me too but i love it
@@pieceofbogus110 yep
@@aleynahallie9506 Mirabel was intuitive, compassionate and loved her family. In the movie she shared a room with her young cousin. She gave him a gift which was a toy animal which ended up being his gift. It seemed like she was able to determine the gift. Once Luisa and Isabela spoke to Maribel about their problems, Luisa started to lose her strength power and Isabela started to make other flowers besides perfect roses.
My fan theory is that Mirabel's gift is to be the Encanto's "battery backup." She can only use her gift when the Encanto is destroyed so as to bring it back. Thus, her butterfly outfits parallel the candle's appearance. Additionally, when her door retreats during her gift ceremony, it's the Casita making its backup.
I really want that to be true now that I've heard the name. Shes like the harddrive of the house.
Along the same lines, until Antonio was born 5 years later, Mirabel was the youngest grandchild, and Alma was old enough that she might not see her great-grandchildren, especially them being old enough to get a door. Casita needed someone to hold the magic when Alma passed away, and Mirabel had the heart to be a good candidate, and was likely to be old enough to handle the responsibility when Alma did die some unknown years later.
4:45 i think Julieta could have also been taken advantage of but not as much as Luisa. During the Family Madrigal song it shows everyone depending on her to be healed
Imagine having your period and not feeling up to cooking that day but then your hubby faceplants into a beehive again.
I feel like Mirabel is actually the casita in human form, much like Elsa is the fifth element in human form in the ‘Frozen’ franchise. Even though Mirabel doesn’t have a gift, she is looking out for everyone in her family.
When Dolores sang the part where she says she can hear Bruno on the walls, I mean she can LITERALLY hear Bruno since Bruno's hideout entrance is next to Dolores' room
i’m pretty sure everyone knew that
hahahha evryone knew that
That explains why Bruno mentioned something about free food, Dolores loves to cook.
@@velascotalavera1262 dlores loves cook?
I’m pretty surprised though that she didn’t tell her family that Bruno is still there
I think the front door is Mirabel ‘s door, especially since she’s front and center in the new door’s image of the family.
as soon as that appeared in the movie we all knew that
It's also the "sharpest" image in the door. The others are kinda merged and blurry.
Also, the doorknob has the letter M on it, which further symbolises the fact that Casita is Mirabel's room.
I always thought Pedro was the Casita because of how the they both waved , Pedro using his right hand , and the Casita waving the right side of the window
THAT MAKES SENSE
Nice catch!
He's not the Casita because if he was the Casita would be named casito
Well no one knew if the house was a he or she.
😭
i think that mirabel is the like new abuela, who doesn't necessarily have a gift but instead is the protector of the family and the house
I always perceived Pedro’s spirit to be Casita since his act of genuine love saved Abuela and his children.
Pedro as the Casita makes a lot of sense, he's watching over his family, protecting them as the house falls apart and losing the last of his power to protect Mirabel from the rubble.
Here’s a thought. Maybe when Mirabel’s door disappeared, the house was actually giving her some of its power to be accessed later.
yes that what I have been saying. well my mom told me, but I think she right.
Yes, and that's why she could understand the Casita so weel.
I think the reason Mirabel didn’t get a gift is because she is the next Abuela and will be the caretaker of the magic
i agree
I agree I agree I agree
That and I think the entire casita is her room. While subtle, her power may have been related to transformation, as we saw that she was able to change things more than once in the movie. She didn't need a room because hers was related to her entire family, which would encompass the whole house
Abuela means grandmother
Think you mean that Maribel will be the next matriarch
That needs obviously a second Movie of Encanto
Mirabel is the chosen one, the last to hold the candle before went out. From now and on, the gift will be given by the personality, she actually gave the power to Antonio before the candle did. She is the keeper, the holder and the giver. I also think is Pedro reincarnation because we got a lot of out grandparents, at least her heart and character could be related to Abuelo Pedro.
After three months of reviewing some fan theories from Disney’s 60th film Encanto, does anybody else agree that this film should WIN an Oscar for best animatedfeature and or best original song?!
@@MsLunaWinter hilarious
@@MsLunaWinter lol thats funny
Definitely
Well it should win
I find the idea of Mirabel not getting a room because she is supposed to become the matriarch and get Abuela’s room fascinating. My theory is that the entire town is magic now. Before casita’s magic stopped at the entrance. When the power came back a flash went through the entire encanto and the pathway leading up to the casita could now move. It moved the whole town into the casita. So maybe all the streets in the encanto can move now.
I think that once Abuela passed away, Mirabel will go into her room to get some things and when she puts her hand on the door knob, it'll change the door and show Abuela Alma's hand on Mirabels' shoulder and she'll become the new protector of the Encanto
Idk I love that theory
Encanto literally means "enchanted," so...
Yeah, the entire _mountain range_ is magic.
If Encanto does get a series, the creators should considered these fan theories!
I can't help but imagine it as a sitcom like Modern Family.
Can I be honest? I hope none of these theories ever get confirmed/denied.
Not because they're bad or good, but because I liked how vague and ambiguous the whole movie is. There is no definite Yes or No, no simple solution for everything. Neither in fiction nor in reality. The worst thing Disney could do is make a sequel/prequel to explain where the lore, the miracle and the gifts came from.
Everybody watching Encanto will come to different conclusion and learn a different lesson, each more true to your personal questions than a film could ever provide you with. Let Encanto be ambiguous knowing that sometimes you cannot answer every question you have and that is okay
If they make a sequel I hope it's more about them fixing their family disfunction and becoming better people for themselves, their family and community
FRFRFRFRFRFRFR
As much as i am curious about so many things, i really dont want a sequel. The ambiguity of the movie is what makes it special
I don’t need an explanation of the lore. I just want a mini series with the characters interacting more and maybe give dolores and camilo to get their own songs.
Strongly disagree. I hope they solve some mysteries for us!
My hypothesis is that to "save the miracle" Mirabelle needed to understand the stresses of and embrace each of the family members who were cracking. Alma, Isabella, Luisa, Bruno and herself. While Mirabelle's embrace of Bruno was symbolic (after i save the miracle, I'm bringing you home), she nevertheless extended her love to her Tio Bruno. However the last two embraces also required Abuela Alma. Alma also had to embrace her estranged child and grandchild to heal the cracks in the family's foundation.
The power of three and Pedro being the casita are very tempting and I think the powers reacting to their bearer's well-being is obvious.
Pedro being Casita, and the power of 3 are the ones that hit home for me. Maribel powers being Casita itself, doesn't hold up for me, since Casita was first established when Maribel's mother was just a baby (before Maribel was a thought). Maribel being the next Matriarch makes the most sense for me. Her guiding her family in their time of need and opening the door for them when Casita was resurrection, was kind of symbolic for ushering in a new age. A passing of the torch, if you will.
Whatever the creators had in mind, Encanto is a great movie that allows us all the freedom to create our own narratives
I’m really hoping that Pedro being the house was true! I’ve had that theory after watching Encanto
At least he is not the monster house that hated children and trapped them
When Pedro's sacrifice created the magical candle and the house, it reminded me of Monster House when Nebbercracker's wife's spirit was bringing the house to life after her tragic passing. It would make sense that his spirit is making the house move. And that the family is using their powers to help the community instead using them to fight bad guys.
Oh my gosh, I havebt thought about monster house in years! I HAVE to rewatch it now!
@@Coco-pk3qq You should. It's a movie that people don't often talk about. It's actually good. Encanto made me think about that movie so that's why I bought it up.
@@ryanperez1999 yes it's really good, a hidden gem!
@@Coco-pk3qq Yeah. I don't know if it's too scary or what but it should be talked about. Especially since it was executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
That's what I have been telling my brother while watching Encanto. La Casita must face-off with the Monster House in some weird spinoff. 😂
I bet this has been said before but I’m pretty sure they all represent a sense
Dolores: hearing
Camilo: sight
Antonio: speech
Isabella: smell (flowers)
Louisa: touch
Oh and then Mirabel could be "proprioception"
I like it.
@@kynedyr procrastination lol
I was definitely thinking about #1 throughout the entire film. Abuela has no magical gifts, so she protects the candle. That's why Mirabel has no gifts. She's next in line for Guardian.
The grandkids family powers also have a theme!
Mirabel, Louisa and Isabel- Brain, Brawn and Beauty
Dolores, Camillo, Antonio- Hear, See, Speak (SENCES!)
It seems also that Mirabel is the only one who can enter others' rooms uninvited, further proving every room is a little bit a part of her.
I think Mirabel didn’t get a gift because her gift is the whole castia. Just like Abuela
I think Mirabel will someday inherit the Casita and the Encanto and create a new generation of members of the Family Madrigal.
The most heartbreaking line: "Whatever gift awaits you will be as special as you"
- Alma talking to MIRABEL
And no gift awaited her, meaning that Mirabel became not-special D:
Maribel is the normal child that keeps the family together so maybe she is the heart and soul of the family
Past, Present, future
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Brains, brawn, beauty
That makes so much sense to me! How did I not notice that?
pedro migrated and died trying to get his family a better living situation, a better home. he is the house.
Maybe Mirabel’s gift was somehow singing. She appears in everyone’s musical numbers.
Mirabel actually has the best gift. She has butterflies on her dress and there is a butterfly on the candle. There was also a butterfly in Bruno's second vision and that same butterfly was sitting on a plant at the end of the movie. Mirabel was the miracle.
This movie needs a tv series!
Honestly I love the idea that Pedro was reincarnated into the Casita. Especially since Mirabel is the one that talks to it the most and compliments and jokes around with it. I think Mirabel is the Casita‘s favorite especially since it was able to interact with her in her room far longer than it was able to with the others. She’s also the one that talks to it as if it has its own thoughts and feelings. She greats and tells it goodbye when the family comes and goes. It tries to protect her when Augustine discovers that she has Bruno‘s vision and when she grabs the candle. This would also mean that Mirabel would have been Pedro’s favorite if he was alive as a human.
Wow. Bruno feels guilty about that fish dying.
I think Mirabel received her gift right after touching candle. Instead of the magic being transferred to the door the young Mirabel TOUCHED HERSELF by doing so the gift was transferred to her instead of the door.
I thought about the Abuelo being the source of the miracle thing independently, going into further details such as why Mirabel didn't get a gift which ties into the Luisa being exploited (I just think cracks were starting to show in how much the gifts were weighing on them before Luisa), if they were meant to simply be gifts, and expression of love by Abuelo, they were also not meant to hurt them, making Abuelo question the wisdom of giving them gifts in time for Mirabel's ceremony, but seeing how well that worked out for her, changed his mind again for Antonio (the little bean
I love the theory where abuelo pedro is the casita, it just makes the movie 100x more cuter and just more amazing!! rewatching the movie with that thought in mind just made it completely different in the best way possible!!!
I want to cry this was amazing, the movie was amazing it will forever be one of my most favorites
it also kinda shows how a family can be abusive in a way that they don't even know that they are being abusive. it happens to every single family no matter how sweet or happy they are.
there's always something
Mirabel DOES have a gift. She is to take over for Abuela, and be caretaker of the casita and candle.
what candle? there’s no candle anymore because mirabel IS the candle
The theory that Mirabel didnt get a room because the “matriarch room” is still occupied is kind of morbid, like Mirabel signals the end and beginning of an era
Death is part of life. Abuela will die one day. Someone will need to fill her role.
Everyone wears their gift on their clothing (chameleons on Camilo, sound waves on Dolores, weights on Luisa, flowers on Isabella, etc) Maribel and Abuela Alma both wear butterflies further tying them together with the candle and Abuelo Pedro.
I feel Mirabel didn't get her gift because she didn't feel she deserved it or could live up to her gift. In the end the whole family came together to tell her that she is a miracle and worthy of her gift. That's when she is able to heal the house .
I think Mirabel is the heart of the Casita. It's what makes sense to me. When Abuela yells at her, the house falls apart but it doesn't do that until after she was at such a high because she thought she had saved the magic and the family when she hugged Isabella. She did that because it's what Bruno's vision told her she needed to do to save the magic. She saw the candle get brighter and she was so excited and then Abuela comes in and breaks her heart because all she's ever tried to do is make her family proud of her. But she finally realized that there was NOTHING she could do that would make that happen when it came to Abuela. She knew that her and her sisters could try forever and still wouldn't manage it.
It's the same reason we saw the cracks in Casita to begin with when everyone was partying but she was feeling completely left out and wanting deeply to be given a gift like the rest of her family but she wasn't like them. That heartache is where the cracks came from and then later the complete feeling of rejection and heartbreak are what causes the Casita to fall!
Two things
1) Anyone notice that Pepa wears yellow clothing. Julieta wears blue-ish clothing. And Bruno wears green. Yellow mixed with blue = green. Going to prove that the Past (Julieta's ability to heal past injuries) + the Present (Pepa's ability to affect the current weather) = the Future (Bruno's prophecy ability)
2) During Antonio's gifting ceremony, Abuela says "We have a new gift" and everyone cheers. Notice that when everyone cheers, Delores covers her ears because at that point everything is loud because everyone is making a sound at once.
Please do Top 10 Encanto Moments
Also, the last name chosen for the family was Madrigal which is a “part-song for several voices, especially one of the Renaissance period”. Which is interesting because you can think of the family as an orchestra. Each family member has a gift or as in an orchestra, a musical talent in a specific instrument. However, an orchestra cannot play perfectly without a CONDUCTOR which doesn’t necessarily play an instrument or in other words have a ‘gift’ because their job is not to play but to conduct/lead. Abuela is the conductor and Mirabel is the upcoming conductor which explains why neither have a gift.
I always thought that Mirabel didn’t get her gift since she wiped her hand on the dress but if she tried again and did not wipe her hand on dress I think she would get a gift
can you imagine that bruno has to make a super awesome sandstorm of a gift with individuals only to show granular prophecies like,, their pet goldfish died, grow a gut, or lose hair?
There is also a theory that states that Isabela's gift was actually the most helpful for the community because it could protect the environment and ecosystem of the Ecanto.
She could also quickly grow and mature crops, meaning no famine.
Personal theory : in the beginning because Mirabel wiped her hand after touching the candle, she got the magic inside her and if you look closer in her clothes you can actually see that it has everyone’s powers as symbol and she wear’s that dress that has symbol of a jaguar and the bird even before antino got his gift so this means that she knew that antino will be able to talk to animals and that’s the reason why she gave him a stuffed jaguar toy on his gift ceremony!
The theories I hope are proven right are: Casita is Mirabel’s room (since I knew that was mostly likely true since the beginning since she has a close bond with casita), Pedro is Casita (I came to that realization after I watched Encanto for the first time and after hearing some theories about it), and that Mirabel didn’t get a gift because she’s destined to become the next leader of the Madrigals after Abeula passes as well as being the keeper of the miracle (since I think most of us knew that to be the reason for her not getting a gift after watching Encanto for the first time).
I think theories 1 & 2 are true. That Pedro's spirit went into the candle and the Casita, and that Maribel is destined to be the next Matriarch/guardian of the miracle. Both those theories make so much sense!
It would be nice if the source of this magic was a prehispanic civilization in colombia.
There are article that claim paramilitars in colombia ( Fans of Uribe) act still as colonizers in their own country, displacing and killing tribes.
I have a theory that the magic comes from the Mesoamerican gods. Like if you look at what each of the Madrigals can do it lines up with an ability of a god from that pantheon.
@@Actionfan19 I think i could mix all in a single theory.
Both abuela and abuelo have mesoamerican roots even mayan or chibcha (i hear some stuff of encanto are based also from colombia).
They were trying to escape some paramilitarist group after their marriage, but abuelo sacrifice.
Luckily abuela was close enough to an old temple/shrine of ancient times, and thats how the magic appears.
(The temple could be buried deep below the town or la casita)
I agree if you recall when Mirabel enters to Bruno's room there are images of ancient gods made of stone in the walls of the room (where not even casita has power) also this gods and godesses images are surrounded nu emeralds which are part of Muisca's mythology (an ancient tribe from Colombia) not to emntion The prophecies were green as emeralds and Bruno's eyes turned into green after he had to do some sort of magic ritual for receive them.
@@Actionfan19 Not mesoamerican. Colombia had its own pantheon, specially the muisca's pantheon is conected with the emerald( hence why the prophecy is green as well as Bruno's eyes) and it's the origin of the "El Dorado" myth
@@youredelicious9945 This is what I get for not doing proper research. I got no clue which portion of south/central America worships what Devine beings.
My current favorite theory, which unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the person who first posited it, is that Abuela had the gift of barrier. She created the mountains to separate the village from danger. She created the casita to protect her family from the environment. She created the doors to give privacy. But she also created boundaries in everyone's life. They could only see themselves as the physical embodiment of their powers, such as Luisa being "the strong one". Mirabel's gift was the removal of barriers, which is why her door disappears when she touches it. She literally removed the symbol of isolation a private room creates. She gets everyone to open up with a single question, no matter how long they had been holding it all back. So when the house returns at Mirabel's touch, it is a house with no barriers. Everyone is free to be themselves. It was time for the chrysalis to open and free the butterflies, so the house gave them Mirabel to create the cracks.
Regarding the theory that the Casita is Mirabel's room, I would like to point out that Casita pretty much chose for Mirabel to save the candle. Isabella and Camilo looked like they were so close to reaching the candle but Casita still chose not to give them that extra boost to be able to reach the candle.
1:12 the fact he went around the outside of the- presumably, capybara- instead of avoiding by pouring around on the inside...
It has general positive symbolism which could have effected the prophesy in some way. He said you couldn't speed up the future, not that you cant alter it.
Maybe it caused it to have a more positive outcome? Since he said it was the same vision until she spotted the butterfly
29: At least it’s nothing like Monster House
This is beautiful. I love how to dissect each sections. My thoughts concerning Pedro has just been answered.
LITERALLY WHAT U WAS THINKING THAT SHE WIPED HER HAND I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Same here!
The "magic" of the Encanto, of the Casita, of the family... is love. True love brought about by Pedro and Alma.
That´s why the candle is extinguished and cracks form. Because love is no longer the priority.
Mirabel didn´t get a gift because she´s the magic.
She´s the new matriarch, meant to keep them all together through her love and compassion.
She´s quite literally the heart of the house as shown on the new door, or as Bruno said "the real gift".
30: I’m starting to see why Mirabel didn’t get a gift
I like the idea that Casita is Pedro but I also like the idea that Casita acts like an assistive technology to Mirabelsince she’s one of only people that directly speaks to la Casita. I also like the idea that you could kind of interpret Mirabel as being Neuro divergent and the family having their own psychological things they work through
I’d love for Merabel to get a room of her own in the new casita.
She deserves it.

First trio = 2 girls and 1 boy
[Alma's & pedro's kids]
Second trio = 2 boys and 1 girl
[Pepa's & felix's kids]
Third trio = 3 girls
[Isabella,luisa, maribel]
Forth trio [theory: maybe dolores's & mariano's babies] = trio of all boys.
Theory that Dilores and Mariano actually have 5 children, but in keeping up with the trifecta they have 2 sets of twins, and a single child who gains the power to duplicate themselves
To be honest I thought that Mirabel's gift was hidden and that her secret gift was to be able to heal like:
When she fixed her relationship with Abuela
When she helped Bruno
When she helped Luisa
When she helped Isabella
When she put the doorknob on the house the magic returned(would that have worked if someone else have put it back on)
Or maybe she's just a super smart girl who loves her family. She's the greatest anyway.
Julieta can heal a broken hand, but not regain Mirabel’s and Agustin’s eyesight. She has something against them…….
I don't think Julieta sees it as a broken thing to be healed
@@maiadraghici2403 yea she even says to mirabel that she has cool glasses.
It also might not be something she can heal. Like, Mirabel had glasses from a young age, so we can assume it wasn't from injury or anything. There is nothing to "regain", as it was not there in the first place. They were simply born with below average eyesight. It's like, you can't make someone stronger if they weren't strong before if your powers are healing. There is no injury, nothing to heal.
Technically impaired eyesight isn’t an injury. It’s a disability. And I don’t think Juliet’s can heal those
As someone who wears glasses due to myopia: its neither an illness nor a disability, as it can be corrected by a simple surgery or you can live with glasses with no debilitating factors in your life. Julieta might've not cured it because Agustín and Mirabel probably just have myopia, which isn't that great a deal
My theory is that Mirabel is the next Abuela. She has to take the candle and help the future of the family she takes the place of abuela when she passes. I find that foreshadowing when she guides Felix and Pepas son to get his gift, like Abuela did to maribel. Deciding what’s right and what’s wrong, since she’s smart and has a true heart.
Okay so it think that i have a theory: What if Mirabel didn't get her gift because abuela mostly focused on Julieta's side of the family and not really on Pepa's? Like Julieta's gift is more useful then Pepa's, Isabela was the "perfect" one, Luisa was pressured into helping everyone, yet almost nobody from Pepa's side is seen "helping"? ig. So maybe Mirabel not getting a gift is a sign to abuela that she should focus on the whole family not just what they're worth?
Abuela did say to Antonio that she would find a use to his gift for the community.
Dolores and Camilo might have contributed to the community but it wasn't shown in the movie due to the limited time.
@@midnights2631 : Camilo was seen giving the young mother a break from her infant during the opening song.

In less hectic times, I can see him putting on one man/boy shows, as well as plays with other members of the community.
@@marksebree5218 I forgot about that, thank you for pointing it out.
@@midnights2631 True that's why i wasn't really sure of it lmao
The whole "Abuela Alma and Mirabel are very similar yet so different" is one of the many reasons i love Encanto. Their relationship reminds me of mine and my grandma's relationship. They both only want the best for the family but they both have different ways to do so. I swear this entire family reminds me of my own and that just makes me so happy for some reason
Mirabel’s ‘Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood’ (knocking on her family’s doors) at the beginning of the film signaled her connection to Bruno :P.
Plus, if she’s usually the first one up to go set the table, she’s probably the first person Bruno saw every morning from behind the family tree picture.
if shes the first one up bruno wouldn't have seen her
@@staarfall5317 😝Guess I was thinking in terms of her waking him up.
I think Pedro is the casita(the goast hunting it in a positive way) like how the widow blinds go like 🤷♂️ it’s him going 🤷♂️ like yea :]
Camilo, Felix and Mirabel are my favourite characters in encanto
Louisa's pressure was heartbreaking
She's nineteen
A CHILD
I wish that Julieta or pepa has a child or twins who can go back in time to help mirabel get her gift back after they figure out what she did wrong I NEED a sequel for enchanto
I love number 5! But then it was seen that you get just as much pressure whithout a gift so Antonio got one. This makes so much sense
Pedro was a wizard and his sacrifice placed a protective charm over the community. Because he was a wizard, his children and grandkids have powers
I thought for a bit that Mirabel's gift was empathy and didn't realize until the end that she was meant to be Abuela's replacement.
The pastor who married Alma and Pedro and the bald priest are same person and he only blamed Bruno so he wasn't made fun of
Freakin Alma….she’s got that judgy matriarch look all the time. She looks at you and she’s judging you. If I were Mirabel , I would not stick around to take the shade from family who actually got gifts. I’d be like “bye”
I want the theory that the spirit of Casita is actually Pedro's spirit to be true. 🤞🏾
I think the reason Casita responds to Abuela and Mirabel only is because they are the only once seen talking to Abuelo Pedro (Mirabel greeting him and Abuela asking him for help)
Actually mirable has had a gift the whole time if u noticed In the movie a lot of the time the house did what she said and that I could be wrong but I BELIVE her gift is that she has control over the house or she could be. The next to look out for everyone after abula passes
