My favourite thing about this movie that my 10-year-old brother pointed out, is that Mirabel isn't jealous of her family. You can see how proud she is of their accomplishments, albeit slightly annoyed by Isabela's "perfection". But she never gets mad at her family for having gifts and her not having them. It's more-so that she feels like she's not part of the family because of it and that she herself isn't good enough. That's so amazingly refreshing to see. It's not jealousy but a feeling of not belonging and not being good enough.
One thing that always bugged me was how the movie kind of downplays how stupid and horrible everyone was towards Bruno. He literally did nothing but try to help and when he "ran away" they didn't even bother looking for him. That's far worse than anything else they did low-key 😭
Being from a Latino it's sadly really common that the family turns on a member that is slightly different from everyone else. Literally have a cousin that got kicked out for being alternative and really introverted.
I always thought that one of the most fucked parts of this movie was that literally nobody could be bothered to build another room for Mirabel or give her a separate space from Antonio. Like bro come on at least get her a curtain 😢
Mirabel's real gift is the ability to burst into songs that bend reality itself. Isabela is the only one that notices and she hates being woken up at 6 AM and forced to dance every morning.
It was SO unbelievably refreshing to watch a movie where there isnt some twist villain or big bad corporation. Where it is entirely focused on the characters and the relationships between them.
Yeah, them not building Mirabel her own room in that giant-ass house always bothered me. Like, yeah, it wouldn’t be magical, but it’s better than keeping her in the baby room forever.
Annoys me that she doesn't get a power in the end, nor do we get an answer as to why she doesn't have one, like she legitimately doesn't get a lesson about how she's better off without a power or something, it's just constant wondering about WTF is going on with the Magic and why it ain't magic-ing
I think she didnt get one bcus shes supposed to be like the old lady. She doesnt have a power either but she was the keeper of the Candle and when the lady dies Mirabel will be the new candle keeper. But yeah that still doesnt explain much ,like WHY it was mirabel that got chosen like that but oh well.@@Chimerathedragon
@@Chimerathedragon Giving her powers would be so contradictory to the movie (Ignoring that there is a strong implication that her power is to actualize the candle and thus give everyone else their powers) in that what makes her special isn't her powers at all... she doesn't need powers to be special and in the end the house recognizes that and makes her the center of the family.
Everybody was pissed at Bruno for his gift so whenever Dolores brought it up they probably shushed her. Especially Pepa because she seemed to be the most adamant at avoiding the topic of him all together. And since Pepa is Dolores's mother, I wouldn't be surprised if her and Felix told her to stop talking about it.
9:40 I love how many people pick up on Dolores always knowing Bruno was there, questioning why she didn't say anything to help him and casually ignoring her next major line in the song where she mentions Bruno's prophecy that she was destined for a lonely life.
@@Hanmacxye 😔 and ngl, this made me think that the reason she yelled abt the vision at dinner was cus she never felt heard, and knew everyone was goin to listen to her then, and i understand that motive cus i feel that way too (at certain times, that is lol)
I really wish they would explore her character more. The movie doesn’t clearly tell us why she doesn’t tell everyone about Bruno or what she thinks about her gift which makes people think she’s a villain. I hope we can see more of her in a sequel or spin off.
Mirabel has no powers. The Grandma has no powers. I don't think this is a coincidence. The house is setting Mirabel to be the The Gran's successor as the head honcho.
one thing that always concerns me a bit is how everyone in the town will still dislike Bruno or maybe sometime after the movie the family makes a speech and just tell the town the the truth about how he really feels, it would be nice to just see the town apologize to Bruno because they sang an enitre freakin song about how much they dislike him
It seems like a large reason why Bruno’s an outcast is because the town doesn’t understand how his powers actually work, and I’m sure things would get at least kinda cleared up if the villagers actually let Bruno take a few minutes to explain that he doesn’t CAUSE things to happen, he just sees things happen before they actually do.
@@cabsmih7897ye, i always believed that they never actually understood his powers the first time i heard the townspeople sing “your fate is sealed when your prophecy is read” in We Don’t Talk About Bruno and when he tells Mirabel everyone believes that “Bruno makes bad things happen” and “he’s creepy and his vision killed [their] goldfish” in Antonio’s room, and i felt so bad for him 😕 i couldn’t imagine wut he went thru over that simple misunderstanding…and the fact that HE was the one who was apologizing by the end of the movie made me kind of upset 😒 but that’s more of a nitpick ig 😅
@@cabsmih7897I mean, if it wasn’t for his gift Mirable would have never hug Isabella. Which means that technically he does cause some of those things to happen.
So a few fun facts: - When Mirabel is singing during the celebration of her cousins power, her voice actress was literally in labor while recording! - When everyone is singing their own verses together during We Dont Talk About Bruno, that type of harmony is called a Madrigal
I felt the animation of Encanto was on a whole other level. Literally felt like there was a camera implanted in the virtual world recording the characters in real time moving, while the camera moves along with the dancing and singing. The contrast and colours in this movie also felt exceptionally popping to me.
Funny part, in WDTAB Dolores says, "its like i hear him now, I can hear him now" is a Double entendre for hearing Bruno and the guy she likes who is down the road. Also every family member makse an appearance in that song during dinner, because Bruno is behind the family tree picture. Right behind the table and the camera focuses on him first. Not to our knowledge at the time.
More importantly, he's right there in the background on the first floor when Mirabel and Dolores sing together - first sneaking around and then actually dancing to the beat.
You know, Mirabel’s problem might be very much an allegory to those who have disabilities: she’s often left out, as an embarrassment by the family, for starters
There is a theory that Delores relates to Bruno in that they both see their gift as a curse, so she keeps the truth to herself. When she talks about the rats in the wall, she really means Bruno. Like during her section of the song specifically, you can see Bruno sneaking around in the background. And it's the same part of the house that he enters and exits the walls from so it's more likely to be the real Bruno and not Camilo in disguise. And yes, Bruno heard them singing. The hole in the wall that he peaks through in the dining room is in the tree portrait during the final chorus.
@@the1nf3r10rone the line she sings in the last song is "yo, I knew he never left, I heard him every day" but during the rest of the movie she only talks about rats doing and saying the same stuff that Bruno is; implying she was fully aware it was him but chose to say nothing
Its been said before but Dolores probably knows when everyone is having sex or masturbating and she knows what they think about and she lives in a huge family like that would be hell.
@@MouldMadeMindI had the same thought. I bet she can focus on certain sounds and ignore the rest. If she were to listen to someone having sex. She would have to pay attention to it. Which she would probably never do. This would explain how she can hear an eye twitching without getting insomnia.
As a Colombian i had fun watching you guys react to this lol. Also I was very pleasantly surprised with how well they did in showing Colombian culture with magical aspects. The music, family generational truma, the colors/atmosphere as a whole, etc. Still remember how home sick this film made me as i couldnt visit family for many years and the pandemic had ruined that plan family reunion. Thankfully for the first time in many years i got to finally see them this year and we bonded especially talking about how good Disney did with this film.
I don't think I realized it until I watched Mr. Enter's Soul review that unlike practically every animated movie I can think of, Encanto isn't a road trip movie! The entire movie takes place in their village and most of it is inside their house!
The characters, cultural representation, and realistic portrayal of generational trauma are all excellent. And the songs all slap, especially "Surface Pressure" and "We Don't Talk About Bruno." It will always be one of my favorites, and it's momumental praise is truly well earned.
10:19 Love listening to this knowing that if you look closely at the very start of the song in the background during Dolores and Mirabel's part, you can infact see Bruno dancing to the song in the background.
I'll never get over how fucked up it is how the whole family treated Bruno and when he came back HE actually apologized in his little reprise 😭 like both sides were wrong or something
Late, sorry about that.. new subscriber. Anyway I get why he did apologize to Pepa (and Felix) since he accidentally made her nervous enough to storm during her wedding but I don’t think anyone else deserved one Also read a theory yesterday that him walking over to them “creepily” was just him channeling Hernando to cope with social anxiety and that made me so sad
The reason Abuelo took his family (and the other villagers) out of the town was because he hoped for a better future for the children. The butterfly candle represented that hope. Abuela had her hope destroyed when she saw her husband die, and the only thing that kept her going was Abuelo's hope. But she had very little of her own, so the only thing she could do was protect the candle. She didn't cultivate the hope in her children, or in her grandchildren. Gradually, Abuelo's hope wasn't enough (depression has a tendency to win in the long run). When she had so little hope for Mirabel's gift that she forced Bruno to see the future and he didn't see something clearly and obviously good, she gave up (as the song says "your fate is sealed when the prophecy is read", and a sealed fate is the antithesis of hope). Mirabel never gave up hope. She never had a gift and so Abuela never forced her to believe the gift was the only thing of worth. Even when she decided to stop 'waiting for a miracle', she had the will (and what is will but hope manifested?) to succeed at saving her family. It wasn't until Abuela destroyed that hope as well that the final magic of the encanto was broken, and the house collapsed. But when everyone else in the family had lost their magic (the only thing of value they knew), and all their hope was gone, Mirabel still had hers. And she ignited her family's hope once again, all of them, even Abuela. And when they built the new house, all of them together, and their village as well, it was the power of Mirabel's hope that recreated the encanto of the familia Madrigal, and brought their magic back. Mirabel doesn't have a gift. She is the gift.
I thought when she said the part about hearing the rats that it was like foreshadowing she’s actually hearing Bruno talking as well since she says later that she knew and heard him everyday
10:54 The moment about her "hearing the rats" is actually just another bit of foreshadowing that she can here Bruno in the walls, because dude talks to the rats
The mention of the hypothetical friend who owns 5 ferrets reminded me of how I had 5 guinea pigs as a kid and entering the room we kept them in was an olfactory flash-bang.
Fun fact: at 7:37 the One Who says:"Luisa?" Is the same voice actress of Luz Noceda from the Owl house and it's her only line of dialogue in the movie😂
I can't recall a single song that actively "left" the Encanto, except for Pressure. All the other songs directly took place in the house or around the village/landscape, just with added special effects, lots of which can be explained through their powers. It felt like an actual stage production to me at some points, especially "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
About the big family discussions, I can testify that that happens at every single big family dinner. Last big birthday meal, there were like four separate discussions happening at the same time.
6:47 I can attest to this - I'm currently working on a comic where two of the characters where skirts, and I used reference photos of myself with a towel around my waist to help with getting the look right.
I can’t believe Lin-Manuel Miranda said it’s Lin-Manuel Mirandaing time and Lin-Manuel Miranda and all over the music. That’s why all the music is good or mid never in between
Now that u guys made the joke about her stopping time I can’t stop thinking about her just pulling a scooby doo and taking off a mask and it’s just DIO
Being able to talk to animals is such a fucked up gift when you think about it. Like, he can speak to farm animals too and they all have human level intelligence. So unless the who town stops eating meat, that kid can hear the voices of others who are going to die an early death.
@@Mr.Feather130 When they sing the song, watch the second floor when they're out in the courtyard, you can see him kinda hunched over walking by in the background on the second floor
Someone already said this but I’ll say it again. The reason why Dolores doesn’t tell anyone that Bruno is in the walls is because. Well, she did. She always says he’s in the walls but no one listened to her because they were so angry at him that whenever someone mentions him they immediately shushes them. They literally sang a whole song on why they hate and never mentions him.
3:57 "Wait a second, what if she's a bastard child, is that the plot twist?" Mirabel is related to the Madrigals through her mother, not her father. She'd still be a Madrigal, even if Julietta was cheating on Agustin. 😂
me too, bruno is also better than me i would've turned into a super villain with the way they treated him and especially how they just pretend its fine afterwards like he wont need therapy for the rest of his life
Lol I let out an even bigger sigh reading this comment it was obviously a joke, I don't know if you could tell but eden is obviously Hispanic and has said on several occasions that he Literally speaks Spanish 🤦🤦
As a Colombian I can tell you the artists did care to make good research. Even the freaking arepas react realistically to being bitten. Also back then the local joke was that Bruno was a sociology student because half those mofos are hipppies who look exactly like him.
11:03 as someone from a really big family I can confirm that is how family dinners go. Have 19 cousins on just my mom's side. Grandparents had 7 kids and all married. So every holiday was about 40 people eating together, depending on other guests. I can confirm everyone talks at once with many conversations going on, overlapping, merging, or diverging. You get good at listening and talking at the same time. I always found it weird going to friends houses where it's just one thing happening the entire dinner.
As a side note I brought a friend to just a small family party (less than half attending) and he was nauseous from how loud and confusing it was. He ate almost nothing because he was focused on trying to process it all. I felt so bad. I didn't even realize it would be a problem. (edit: typo)
haha same here. about 40-50 (?) cousins on my dads side, and every dinner with that side of the family is just so much going on at once lol. i’m super talkative though so works out well for me, but my sister has to like physically recover for a week after 😭
As a colombian I can confirm when we are displaced by violence magic houses appear out of the blue to make mountain ranges and to give us magical powers
During Dolores' part of We dont talk about Bruno, you could ACTUALLY see him on the top floor if the background, just JAMMING to the song lmao 🤣 Maybe he was salty at some part but over all i think he'd agree its a great musical number!
Fun fact: my default reaction when I don't know how to react is laughter, which has been confirmed to be perfectly normal within the first minute of this video. I've been in trouble for it before because I have laughed (or tried not to laugh but it was still visible) in serious situations as a child like getting reprimanded or grounded and it made it worse for me. So I have been reprimanded for something completely natural that is out of my control multiple times and I am pretty sure it happened to a lot of people. Sending my love to you guys who have been through similar things.
11:06 To answer your question: yes, there is a lot of gossip in big latino families like mine, not bad and evil like this one from the movie... but dinners with the entire family can be a little noisy and messy! And it's a lot of fun! This is the place where you laugh the most!
I know “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” was easily a popular song, but when it started playing on FM radio stations, I underestimated this song’s popularity. I don’t remember the last time hearing a Disney song on the radio. Has “Let it Go” from Frozen ever played on the radio….?
According to a concept animatic, Casita was going to be an extension of Alma's will, obstructing Mirabel and pushing her around. Think the "Monster House" but the woman is still alive. The idea that the house Mirabel lives in dislikes you and would raise floorboards to trip her or lock doors to mess with her was apparently too cruel so Casita and Mirabel are friends but Alma is still Alma.
I'm still entirely convinced that Mirabel's real power is to manipulate reality by singing, when she starts singing the first song she was in the new gift room and when time resume at the end of the song she was downstairs and didn't end the song back where she started, meaning the shift happened in universe, coincidence, i think not
Omg the comment about how the music kind of doesn’t feel part of the show is so spot on!! I think that was my main bone to pick with Encanto. The songs were still really great, but just like you said, a lot of the songs felt like they were meant to be clipped and put on youtube.
18:26 fun fact. Dolores is the only one who is looking directly at the camera. Don’t know why. Also, if she really is suffering from her gift. Why does she look so happy? Even at the start of the movie she looks like the happiest one there.
“Tell me why every latino has an uncle named Tio” was such a stupid joke I laughed too hard over it

You know, Mirabel’s problem might be very much an allegory to those who have disabilities: she’s often left out, as an embarrassment by the family, for starters
I can definitely see that. In a family that all has powers, lacking one COULD probably be seen as a disability in a way.

@@nonexistingbraincellsvery epic OOF!
You can actually see Bruno dancing along to this song in the back when Mirabel and Dolores have their part lol
I don't think I realized it until I watched Mr. Enter's Soul review that unlike practically every animated movie I can think of, Encanto isn't a road trip movie! The entire movie takes place in their village and most of it is inside their house!
The characters, cultural representation, and realistic portrayal of generational trauma are all excellent. And the songs all slap, especially "Surface Pressure" and "We Don't Talk About Bruno." It will always be one of my favorites, and it's momumental praise is truly well earned.
Those are my favorites too.
This movie's just so good all around.
Surface pressure goes so hard.
dos oruguitas is where its at for me. its gorgeous
10:19 Love listening to this knowing that if you look closely at the very start of the song in the background during Dolores and Mirabel's part, you can infact see Bruno dancing to the song in the background.
9:32 still the catchiest song in the whole movie
Talk about a Disney movie that quickly got a fanbase by the time it came out. Name one person that didn’t sing “We don’t talk about Bruno”.
It was super popular on Tumblr partly because of the Lynn Manuel Miranda songs
I didn't because I didn't know the lyrics but now I do
oh god dont remind me of my encanto era
cuz it's their best movie since the lion king or aladdin
We don't talk about Bruno is a better song than Let it Go
*Change my mind*
I'll never get over how fucked up it is how the whole family treated Bruno and when he came back HE actually apologized in his little reprise 😭 like both sides were wrong or something
Late, sorry about that.. new subscriber. Anyway I get why he did apologize to Pepa (and Felix) since he accidentally made her nervous enough to storm during her wedding but I don’t think anyone else deserved one
Also read a theory yesterday that him walking over to them “creepily” was just him channeling Hernando to cope with social anxiety and that made me so sad
The reason Abuelo took his family (and the other villagers) out of the town was because he hoped for a better future for the children. The butterfly candle represented that hope. Abuela had her hope destroyed when she saw her husband die, and the only thing that kept her going was Abuelo's hope. But she had very little of her own, so the only thing she could do was protect the candle. She didn't cultivate the hope in her children, or in her grandchildren. Gradually, Abuelo's hope wasn't enough (depression has a tendency to win in the long run). When she had so little hope for Mirabel's gift that she forced Bruno to see the future and he didn't see something clearly and obviously good, she gave up (as the song says "your fate is sealed when the prophecy is read", and a sealed fate is the antithesis of hope).
Mirabel never gave up hope. She never had a gift and so Abuela never forced her to believe the gift was the only thing of worth. Even when she decided to stop 'waiting for a miracle', she had the will (and what is will but hope manifested?) to succeed at saving her family. It wasn't until Abuela destroyed that hope as well that the final magic of the encanto was broken, and the house collapsed. But when everyone else in the family had lost their magic (the only thing of value they knew), and all their hope was gone, Mirabel still had hers. And she ignited her family's hope once again, all of them, even Abuela. And when they built the new house, all of them together, and their village as well, it was the power of Mirabel's hope that recreated the encanto of the familia Madrigal, and brought their magic back. Mirabel doesn't have a gift. She is the gift.
10:54 correction: she can hear them but only he is able to UNDERSTAND them.
I thought when she said the part about hearing the rats that it was like foreshadowing she’s actually hearing Bruno talking as well since she says later that she knew and heard him everyday
@@4everinthe4d fair enough
Nah i just think she referring to that their is actually rats in the walls...
And also Bruno's tella novella
If i saw my extended family perform an entire banger of a song about how sus I am, I would be honored, tbh.
10:54 The moment about her "hearing the rats" is actually just another bit of foreshadowing that she can here Bruno in the walls, because dude talks to the rats
9:48 If you look in the background, you can see bruno sneaking around
13:51 Jack's right I do have a few family and friends who are mad at me for a lot of things and they just yell at me to "apologize".
i genuinely like when Eden goes on his tangents
The mention of the hypothetical friend who owns 5 ferrets reminded me of how I had 5 guinea pigs as a kid and entering the room we kept them in was an olfactory flash-bang.
Same, I was that one friend except with guinea pigs
Fun fact: at 7:37 the One Who says:"Luisa?" Is the same voice actress of Luz Noceda from the Owl house and it's her only line of dialogue in the movie😂
I can't recall a single song that actively "left" the Encanto, except for Pressure. All the other songs directly took place in the house or around the village/landscape, just with added special effects, lots of which can be explained through their powers. It felt like an actual stage production to me at some points, especially "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
can't believe our boys got a collab with lebron.... so proud of how far they've come
About the big family discussions, I can testify that that happens at every single big family dinner. Last big birthday meal, there were like four separate discussions happening at the same time.
1:15 a soon as mirabel said “ what do you think my gift will be?” a ad popped up on the screen saying “NOTHING”
LOL XD
For some reason it took me way too long to realize this movie is Colombian, so Disney finally gives me representation after 17 years of my life 😀
7:16
I like to imagine them Googling the ages of every character before the reaction so that they know who it's okay to make simp jokes about.
I actually met the voice actor for Antonio (the kid who can speak to animals) one of the nicest kids I’ve met, great guy, really fun to be around
6:47 I can attest to this - I'm currently working on a comic where two of the characters where skirts, and I used reference photos of myself with a towel around my waist to help with getting the look right.
14:00 kor about to get a rizztraining order 💀
3:22 I feel like Eden says that about a lot of movies haha
12:47 Did not expect to see Nagito Komaeda in a STM video, but here we are.
I fr almost fucking screamed 💀
FR LMAO
This is the second time dude 😭
I screamed
I can’t believe Lin-Manuel Miranda said it’s Lin-Manuel Mirandaing time and Lin-Manuel Miranda and all over the music. That’s why all the music is good or mid never in between
Now that u guys made the joke about her stopping time I can’t stop thinking about her just pulling a scooby doo and taking off a mask and it’s just DIO
But it was I Bruno!
Being able to talk to animals is such a fucked up gift when you think about it.
Like, he can speak to farm animals too and they all have human level intelligence. So unless the who town stops eating meat, that kid can hear the voices of others who are going to die an early death.
On the plus side, he can (possibly) also talk to spiders. *wink wink*
"Man, this bacon is delicious! Oh, hi, Pepito! What's wrong?"
"Um, where did mom go yesterday?"
Fun fact in the we don't talk about Bruno song. You can actually see Bruno in the background dancing to his own song.
I didn't freaking notice it!
@@Mr.Feather130 When they sing the song, watch the second floor when they're out in the courtyard, you can see him kinda hunched over walking by in the background on the second floor
@@roronoazoro8322 ooh, totally need to rewatch the movie someday for that Easter egg
The theory is Mirabel’s superpower is to read people’s minds and translates their thoughts and feelings into songs
She’s like a Spanish Zoey Clarke
Someone already said this but I’ll say it again. The reason why Dolores doesn’t tell anyone that Bruno is in the walls is because. Well, she did. She always says he’s in the walls but no one listened to her because they were so angry at him that whenever someone mentions him they immediately shushes them. They literally sang a whole song on why they hate and never mentions him.
3:57 "Wait a second, what if she's a bastard child, is that the plot twist?" Mirabel is related to the Madrigals through her mother, not her father. She'd still be a Madrigal, even if Julietta was cheating on Agustin. 😂
7:46 the fact a Hamilton clip appears lol
What's funny is Bruno is dancing on a balcony during Dolores' part of the song
If I was Mirabel I would have just turned evil. Which is why the Mirabel villain song on TH-cam is a favorite of mine
I would have moved away from that dysfunctional family
Precisely. Alma and the other adults got off way too easily! I love that song too!
me too, bruno is also better than me i would've turned into a super villain with the way they treated him and especially how they just pretend its fine afterwards like he wont need therapy for the rest of his life

“Every Latino got an uncle named tio tho”
I don’t think I could let out a bigger sigh
same
It was a joke?
Lol I let out an even bigger sigh reading this comment it was obviously a joke, I don't know if you could tell but eden is obviously Hispanic and has said on several occasions that he Literally speaks Spanish 🤦🤦
Lin Manual Miranda cooked on this ngl
Shit burnt
HIS RENT WAS DUE
Fun fact: the part at the end of We Don’t Talk About Bruno, where everyone sings their parts at once, is called a Madrigal.
honestly it was really cool that the musical numbers were so obviously non diegetic
I'm gonna do it. I'ma talk about Bruno.

It’s almost like tio is the Spanish word for uncle or something

@@Cheddar-the-Chaos-Editorit was,,, a joke
bro he’s literally puerto rican 😭😭
7:25 That’s why the writers chose her name to be Dolores.
Kind of like how Professor Umbridge’s first name is Dolores because… well, she inflicts pain in *others.* And they take umbrage at her for it.
11:09 also YES istg in a big family reunion or smth theres like 7 different conversations going on istg hearing my name once gets me paranoid
17:38 The mouth movement fit with the one in blue it looked like she said "that actually saved the movie for me"

5:20 bro i'm fucking wheezing
Thank god they did it🚀🚀
As a Colombian I can tell you the artists did care to make good research. Even the freaking arepas react realistically to being bitten. Also back then the local joke was that Bruno was a sociology student because half those mofos are hipppies who look exactly like him.
"Tío" means "uncle" (tía = aunt). In Spain it is used as "dude" as well (Oye, tío! = Hey, dude!)
It was a joke blub
Fun fact: Bruno's original name was Oscar but they changed it so it can rhyme with no no no.
11:03 as someone from a really big family I can confirm that is how family dinners go. Have 19 cousins on just my mom's side. Grandparents had 7 kids and all married. So every holiday was about 40 people eating together, depending on other guests. I can confirm everyone talks at once with many conversations going on, overlapping, merging, or diverging. You get good at listening and talking at the same time. I always found it weird going to friends houses where it's just one thing happening the entire dinner.
As a side note I brought a friend to just a small family party (less than half attending) and he was nauseous from how loud and confusing it was. He ate almost nothing because he was focused on trying to process it all. I felt so bad. I didn't even realize it would be a problem. (edit: typo)
haha same here. about 40-50 (?) cousins on my dads side, and every dinner with that side of the family is just so much going on at once lol. i’m super talkative though so works out well for me, but my sister has to like physically recover for a week after 😭
Bruno's actually in the background of Dolores's part of we don't talk about bruno.❤❤❤
As a colombian I can confirm when we are displaced by violence magic houses appear out of the blue to make mountain ranges and to give us magical powers
as Great as Encanto was I'd never forget how Toxic the Main Family is
I literally cannot stand anyone who's not Mirabel, Antonio, or Bruno. Everyone else I can go on a rant about
@@talkytabby2878real
@@talkytabby2878 I'd love to hear that rant.
During Dolores' part of We dont talk about Bruno, you could ACTUALLY see him on the top floor if the background, just JAMMING to the song lmao 🤣 Maybe he was salty at some part but over all i think he'd agree its a great musical number!
Theirs actually a theory that Delores was actually trying to get rid of the miracle because of both her’s and her moms powers
ye, i mean, her and her mom got powers that they didn’t necessarily want anyways, so the motive is understandable
Fun fact: my default reaction when I don't know how to react is laughter, which has been confirmed to be perfectly normal within the first minute of this video.
I've been in trouble for it before because I have laughed (or tried not to laugh but it was still visible) in serious situations as a child like getting reprimanded or grounded and it made it worse for me.
So I have been reprimanded for something completely natural that is out of my control multiple times and I am pretty sure it happened to a lot of people. Sending my love to you guys who have been through similar things.
Everyone else: Don’t talk about Bruno.
Real intellectuals: The Pressure. Too much Pressure.
Abuela singing "it isn't perfect" IS her changing. She waa trying to make everything perfect before, but now she's accepting it as it is.
Encanto is one of the few Disney movies where I have never wanted to listen to any of the songs a second time.
Excited that Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel’s VA) is in Hazbin Hotel. I think they said she’s Maggie.
11:15 Yeah pretty much. Oh yeah, there's also usually an entire kids table that becomes redundant as all the kids become adults.
Sometimes they’re not spilling the milk, they’re spoiling the milk
unfortunately almost every episode 🤢
11:06 To answer your question: yes, there is a lot of gossip in big latino families like mine, not bad and evil like this one from the movie... but dinners with the entire family can be a little noisy and messy! And it's a lot of fun! This is the place where you laugh the most!
14:17 it's ironically funny because I'm watching Encanto on Disney+ while watching this reaction
I know “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” was easily a popular song, but when it started playing on FM radio stations, I underestimated this song’s popularity. I don’t remember the last time hearing a Disney song on the radio. Has “Let it Go” from Frozen ever played on the radio….?
We don’t talk about Bruno still goes hard
According to a concept animatic, Casita was going to be an extension of Alma's will, obstructing Mirabel and pushing her around. Think the "Monster House" but the woman is still alive. The idea that the house Mirabel lives in dislikes you and would raise floorboards to trip her or lock doors to mess with her was apparently too cruel so Casita and Mirabel are friends but Alma is still Alma.
I'm still entirely convinced that Mirabel's real power is to manipulate reality by singing, when she starts singing the first song she was in the new gift room and when time resume at the end of the song she was downstairs and didn't end the song back where she started, meaning the shift happened in universe, coincidence, i think not
Omg the comment about how the music kind of doesn’t feel part of the show is so spot on!! I think that was my main bone to pick with Encanto. The songs were still really great, but just like you said, a lot of the songs felt like they were meant to be clipped and put on youtube.
10:11 Lin Manuel Miranda movies hit different
18:26 fun fact. Dolores is the only one who is looking directly at the camera. Don’t know why.
Also, if she really is suffering from her gift. Why does she look so happy? Even at the start of the movie she looks like the happiest one there.
Causes she's insane.
I don’t think you know who Film Theory is
Have you hurt of "acting happy"? Its the same as what isabella does. And she looks happy in the last picture because she finally got what she wanted-.
