random detail that stuck out to me about this movie: The family photo that Mirabel gets excluded from in the beginning looks very rehearsed and everyone with a very visual gift is demonstrating their powers in the photo (Luisa lifting a big rock, Isabela's flower petals, etc), but the final family portrait in the end is just them all standing together as a family, without any of that polish or fanfare. Goes to show that even in something as simple as a family photo there was pressure on everyone to be a certain way and make the family look good.
Fun fact: Lin-Manuel Miranda wanted Mirabel's "Waiting on a miracle" to feel out of sync with the family thus making it more true to Mirabel's reality. He wrote this track in a 3/4 measurement, while the rest of the family solo and group songs were written in 2/4 and 4/4. I think that's a very cool detail.
i really don't see many people mention it, but in the very beginning when Abeula is talking about what she went through losing her husband, it's glossed over, and the animation reflects that. Later on, when mirabel see's what she went through, you get the full animation, the pain and agony as she watches her love be taken from her, brings her to her knees. So heart wrenching.
Exactly! Everyone acting like the reconciliation goes too fast between Abuela and Mirabel because she doesn't technically SAY anything outright, but the animation makes it clear that she is finally opening up and telling the full story and _that_ is the reconciliation, that explains why she is like this and how she heals, gods this movie is a masterpiece
It's no wonder the whole family feels pressure to be a certain way because it starts from the top. Abuela kept her past trauma held in and kept up a strong front "for the good of the family" just as much as anyone else. Mirabel is the only Madrigal-born one who is her authentic self. She also cares so much about her family that she is willing to let them shine while she supports them in the background (well, except for Isabela, lol). She is treated like an outsider, like a maid or housekeeper, I think because she is "obviously" not magical/perfect because she wears glasses like her nonmagical father. (I don't see anyone else in the whole town with glasses except the two of them.) The candle knew that she didn't need a gift because she would one day lead the family. She is the new, up-and-coming rock of the family -- the new Abuela.
Fun Fact: Stephanie Beatriz (The voice actor who portrays Mirabel) was 9 months pregnant when she recorded waiting on a miracle, she gave birth about 48 hours after her final recording of the song!
@@heyhai7182 not really, as you see Abuela was in Mirabel's current position, she had control over the house, she used to be the magic of it, but since she's closer to passing then the casita and the magic decided to not give Mirabel a "gift" years ago cause in the future it would all make sense, Mirabel was the in line for the inheritance of the house, Abuela is getting old now and that's why the house and the magic was fading, so it needed the young Mirabel's magic now. So when Mirabel or any of her cousins/sisters have children, one of them will take Mirabel's place as she gets older.
Something I like about Dolores' part in we don't talk about Bruno is the fact that not only does she sing in like a whisper-ish tone but you can also hear all of their movements clearer. Example: their shoes hitting the floor, her grabbing mirabel and pulling her the other way. It's just like we had her powers in that moment and hearing everything amplified
And all of her movements are designed to hide the fact that Bruno is in the background sneaking to the kitchen from his secret entrance behind the painting (you see him on the balcony). She makes obvious footsteps to hide his, and she turns Mirabel away from him, checking to make sure she didn't see him. He also probably knows because he starts dancing to the beat lol
I truly love how, in the beginning, Abuela looks sad when Abuelo dies, but when there is actual footage of what happens, she has the worst grief and pain a person can experience. She shielded the family for so long, she forgot to be part of it :(
I noticed this after a few watch-throughs and every time I see it in a reaction video it's just as heartbreaking as the first time I noticed it. Such a great little detail
I truly hate when people say Abuela Alma is unforgivable. They cant forgive her, she was escaping massacres, destruction of her town, her husband was killed in front of her eyes, she had 3 new babies she needed to be strong for. She had no time to be duel in his sadness. She had to keep going for her kids. I am not taking the blame away from her, but she also had trauma. She said it : "I'm sorry I held on too tight, I was AFRAID to lose you too"
@@milagros104 Not to mention that’s inspired in real life Colombian issues and millions of Colombians have to suffer that too. Honestly I hate it too as they are downplaying all the trauma that actually happens
The animators did amazing work with that scene. The devastation on her face is so visceral and real. I couldn't believe how real and solid everyone in the movie seemed despite so obviously not being real. That expression was a total gut punch, I was super impressed. Y'know, once I was done choking back the tears....
It’s an incredibly nuanced scene. There are many little differences and details. Abuela’s excruciating facial expressions. Mirabel seeing her grief and then turning and seeing not the sanitized childhood story of Pedro being “lost” but the brutal reality of his murder. The candle’s power, which doesn’t rise softly after his death like in the intro scene, but rather explodes violently in defense of Abuela and her babies. It’s masterful story telling.
I AGREE ABOUT THE CHARACTER IN MIRABEL’S VOICE. I see a lot of people talking about the quality of singers in Disney “decreasing” and it’s like first of all, no, they still have immensely talented actors/singers. But in this movie they emphasize the CHARACTER over the singing so while maybe vocally it’s not like the best technique ever it has a lot of life to it and it feels like these people are conversing through song rather than just singing randomly.
Thanks that’s what I’ve been saying as long as we get the emotion from and the feelings from the movie and songs they’ve done their jobs their voices don’t have to be A1 art is about emotion
Yeah! To me it's both THAT and at "Lay down your load, lay down your load, we are only down the road" when the WHOLE FREAKING TOWN came out to help, like a whole darn army of guardian angels!! It gets me. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 🥺🥺
When the kids find out Mirabel doesnt have powers and one girl goes "If I were you I'd be really sad". That is such a kid thing to say. Completely honest and brutal! I found that both funny and very accurate!
Honest and brutal. So true 💀my 3 year old basically emotionally abuses me on a daily basis😭 “mom your breath stinks. Get away from me.” “Mom you should not sing. I will sing instead, ok? I’ll show you how to sing pretty.”
@@HannahBayles kids don't have a filter, for better or worse, and it's one of the things I truly love about them. One time I was helping at a local school to tell kids about my occupation and what I do, and hopefully spark their interest, and they talked about practically anything BUT my job. A few memorable things they said: 5yr old boy "Miss, are you in a relationship?" Me "no I'm not, currently" 5yr old girl "why not? You're really pretty, and smart! If I were older I'd absolutely want you to be my girlfriend!" 6yr old girl: "MISS DO YOU LIKE MAKEUP?" (I'm a beautician studying to be physiotherapist) Me "I suppose so, it's quite fun don't you think?" Girl "then why does it look like... That..?" Me "you don't like it?" Girl "no it should be pink! Brown isn't a pretty colour for your eyes!" Me "so, that was my little say for now, any questions?" 6/7 yr old boy "isn't that school for stupid people?" (PS, how are you and your kid/family doing?)
During Luisa's song ("Surface Pressure"), you caught what a LOT of people seem to miss - the line "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service". That line BANG! Changes the entire mood.
I love how Luisa changes the tone of her voice depending on what she's doing. She gets lighter, and higher pitched when she's talking about what she's really feeling or what she would like to do, but, it gets deeper and more round when she's trying to put on the strong facade.
I see a lot of people really relating to that line tho. I think what’s really sweet in the segment is how she keeps protecting mirabel and even fixes her glasses at one point as a caring older sister.
Y'know, there's something I noticed about Abuela Alma's bit during the Family Madrigal opening number. The way she sings her part sounds like the tune from Dos Oruguitas which is really cool.
Yea there's a similar thing in the part where Mirabel sings "it just seems like your life's been a dream since the moment you opened you eyes" to Isabella in "What Else Can I Do?" Which is sung in the same tune as Isabella sings "he told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine" in "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
8:04 Fun fact no one asked for: The lady saying "Luisa, can you reroute the river?" is voiced by Sarah Nicole-Robles, who has done background/scratch voicework for Disney for yeeears, and now she's best known as the voice of Luz Noceda on the beloved Disney show, "The Owl House!"
tbh his part in bruno is my favorite!!! I really love the whole song obviously, but the way he hits his notes and idk everything about his part I love lol
@@stephanievanderboom7145 I’m always grumpy that nobody mentions Luisa doing that sick shoulder drop on the first chorus of “ Surface Pressure”, so I feel your pain.
One lyric detail I also really like and haven’t seen anyone talk about is in the Family Madrigal, Mirabel describes their family like “a perfect constellation, so many stars and everybody gets to shine”, but in All of You she sings instead “a glowing constellation, so many stars and everybody wants to shine”, like they’re now acknowledging that the family isn’t perfect, but that’s ok, and it’s still good. Also its acknowledging that not everyone actually was treated equally, but everyone in the family wanted to “shine”, and to be perfect and have Abuela’s validation.
@@ThatOneLadyOverHere after Luisa sing "but sometimes I cry" Mirabel sing " the stars don't shine they burn, and the constellations glow" meaning there better when they work together not against each other
I also think that the "the stars don't shine they burn" makes it clearer that that performance of the gifts take effort and risk burnout. It's not just effortless shiny display.
@@amberprophet I didn't even think of it in the context of burnout. I kinda interpreted it as "shine" being an innate quality, like you describe something as shiny, whereas "burn" takes active effort and is more dynamic and more alive, like people are always growing and changing
It was recently confirmed that Bruno’s room didn’t originally look like that. It wasn’t as destroyed but because he was isolated and alone, and wasn’t using his gift, his room started to represent that feeling of being deserted, alone, and lifeless. And it was also confirmed by the makers that Dolores room was made soundproof so when Abuela was talking out the window or when Bruno and mirabel were talking, she wouldn’t have been able to hear it if she was in her room since everything is soundproof.
I love that while everyone else reacts to the "Was Hercules ever like, 'yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?'" line, you instead reacted to the next line which always caught me as the more impactful line, "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service." Also, Bruno's room. I always saw it as being kind of weird and broken because his connection with the rest of the family is severed.
huh, i never see anyone react to the Hercules not wanting to fight Cerberus line and typically see people react more to the feeling worthless if she can't be of service. I find both of them resound so heavily emotionally with me.
@@felixhenson9926 Those that react are usually reacting to the construction of the line, how Cerberus is shortened to make it match the rest of the lines around it. Neat musical trick.
That look that Louisa gives Mirabel when the pile of rocks comes down on her gets to me. That combination of helplessness, desperation, and pleading makes me cry every single time. An entire lifetime of need to be heard, summed up in a single look is heartbreakingly beautiful.
Luisa* Latino/Spanish (language wise ) way of spelling it is Luisa. Louisa is more of a white /English way to spell it. My name is also Luisa and hate when people spell it as Louisa . I always have to spell it out for ppl to avoid the O. My diploma unfortunately is spelled as Louisa which gave me a hard time proving it was mine later on.
I always saw Mirabel's voice kinda straining with "Waiting On A Miracle" because she was physically holding back her grief at being brushed aside by her family. She's keeping herself together through pure force of will, and the fact Stephanie Beatriz can communicate that in her singing without actually crying, since that would make her voice all stuffy, is incredibly impressive. Also, in regards to Dolores and privacy, the writers confirmed that Dolores' room is completely soundproofed.
I used to thinl this too but how is her room soundproofed if she heard Luisa's eye twitching all night? And always listens to Mariano's poetry before going to sleep?
@@mari_0556 Dolores heard Luisa's eye twitch during the party, and it's likely she just hung out on a balcony and listened to Mariano's poetry before going to bed.
Well, that really helps since she lives a house with two married couples, and one of them is her parents. Edit: the Dolores part is what I'm referring to.
21:42 This movie touched the hearts of SO MANY Colombianos who saw it because it sheds light on Colombia's very tragic, bloodshed-filled history and the sacrifices many people made to keep their families alive and hopefully let them have a future, like Abuelo Pedro did. It helps un-erase something from a lesser-known country's history that many people haven't wanted to talk about because honestly, ... it's very painful and so, so hard.
Now theres Venezuela threatening to invade Guyana. Conquer it because the colonial charter or whatever they say should make them own the oil. Still the only reason it causes us sadness is because the beauty outweighs the evil, if it were mostly bad we'd have nothing to lose, but we do have things to lose which is why we have everything instead of nothing@@Crazy_Diamond_75
There's so much emotion behind everyone's voice acting and singing that I can't NOT cry when simply watching other people react to the movie. I ball my eyes out every time.
Mirabel's voice is made by Stephanie Beatriz, who portrays Rosa in Brooklyn 99. If you haven't watched it you should check out how different she sounds (appart from season 1). It' s crazy.
she's so fucking versatile. She CANNOT be typecast. This, Heights, 99, Bojack, everything is so different, there's no breaking the illusion like with Patrick Stewart or someone
A fun fact with Luisa, the animators actually had to fight to get her to be buff and designed how she was. Disney originally didn't want her to be a buff and thick character.
I saw this sweet girl breakdown in a tikrok video saying that "Luisa" was the first time she saw her own body represented in a movie in that way. It brought me to tears.
What's even more hilarious is that when they made the merch, they SEVERELY underestimated how popular Luisa would be bc they thought girls would all want Isabella. So they ended up selling out of Luisa merch and having a surplus of Isabella merch 😂
The part when the donkeys were playing the violin on the titanic was based off real people that were musicians and when the titanic was sinking they were playing music because they weren’t allowed on the safety boats
@@pinkclouds1292 This actually isn't true. They made equal amounts of Luisa and Isabella merch, and they both sold about the same because both characters are lovable and relatable. The only one who got fucked over by the toy companies was Camillo. xD
@@destineeinness6821 I know it's not much, but I kinda would like to honor them by telling the names of those eight musicians. Maybe their love for music was bigger than their fear of death. Wallace Hartley, 33 years old, the bandmaster and violinist from Colne, England. Percy Cornelius Taylor, 40 years old, cellist from London, England. John Wesley Woodward, 32 years old, cellist from West Bromwich, England. John Frederick Preston Clarke, 28 years old, bassist from Liverpool, England. Theodore Ronald Brailey, 24 years old, pianist from London, England. Georges Alexandre Krins, 23 years old, violinist from Spa, Belgium. John Law Hume, 21 years old, violinist from Dumfries, Scotland. Roger Marie Bricoux, 20 years old, cellist from Cosne-sur-Loire, France. Only three of the musicians bodies were recovered: Wallace Hartley, John Frederick Preston Clarke and John Law Hume. The other 5 were never found.
It's been over a year now, but I still can't get over how brilliantly 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' is composed and performed It's like the perfect storm of musical talent coming together to crush all resistance.
It's insane because it's really only three cords until Isabella's part, in which it shifts from C minor to the relative E major. Then, some spicy jazz cords, then finally back to the same three 1, 4, 5 C minor cords.
So, we not gonna talk about Camillo? Like, his Part in “we don’t talk about Bruno” alone was astronomical, and being him must give the word identity crisis a whole new meaning. Imagine others constantly wanting you to be someone else, and never really needing *you*
Honestly i love Camillo and Im full onboard with the idea of them being gender-fluid or nonbinary considering that they dont shapeshift exclusively into men. But you're right on the identity crisis thing, they get the gifts when they are so young, Camillo never got a chance to learn who they are before they started being everyone else, regardless of gender or age.. Even one of the screenplay writers has started that Camilo is someone who "doesn't quite know who they are yet"
20:25 When Isabela gets yellow on her dress from her plants she freaks for a second and looks at Mirabel for approval, and when she gives it to her Isabela lets herself do what she wants. I personally think that that's beautiful. Idk if this is what's happening but I think it's a nice interpretation.
It's cut out from this reaction but when Alma comes back to start yelling at Mirabel, Isabella starts panicking and then defaults to her "perfect, pretty" mode where she pulls her hair back and goes back to the shadows. Alma really controlled her whole life
When Isa has a little freak out about the guy wanting 5 babies and her hair produces flowers, Abuela picks out the odd white flower from the bunch. So even her freak outs have to appear “perfect”
The main thing I’m obsessed with animation wise is the skirts and other fabrics, like we’ve had decent fabric engines for a few years but to have them actually pick up and hold them, dance with them? And how fluid they are? Phenomenal Also, that animal you didn’t know is a capybara and they are adorable
Just to note, none of this film was motion capture, unlike most animation films or shows. All of the movement with clothes and particles was done painstakingly by a team of wonderful artists with just some reference notes. None of it is particle renders that are made by a simulation. It’s truly amazing
My favorite part about Isabella's song difference between We Don't Talk About Bruno and What Else Can I Do is the pitch. She's so much higher and princess perfect, then she actually gets to sing more like "herself" and get some low notes and belts. It's such a subtle character change but I love it so much.
One thing that adds onto that is that the final verse/bridge of "What Else Can I Do" modulates DOWN into the final chorus, instead of up. Instead of reaching new heights and soaring above her family as the beautiful flower-power angel, she instead grounds herself (roots herself? eh?) in her new identity, doubling down on choice to live for herself instead of for her family. It's an incredible choice which I would chalk up to coincidence but it's Lin Manuel Miranda and every single aspect of this music is deliberate.
I love how in “Surface Pressure” Luisa says “all WE know is pressure like a drip drip drip” pointing out that not just her but the entire family feels pressure
just a nice fun fact abuela is voiced by the same actress that was abuela claudia in both in the heights movie and musical on broadway, lin wont let go of her and i thank him for that
Dude I just noticed that whenever a gifted family member is singing, their song sequences are imaginative and Mirabel struggles to keep up, for example getting knocked around during we don’t talk about Bruno and falling off the donkey in surface pressure. But when mirabel has her own songs they happen in freezeframe sometimes, but always in real life
I am fascinated by how different the two versions of the story Abuela tells Mirabel are. The first is sanitized for a small child, and the second is full of all the pain now that Mirabel is old enough to understand, and acknowledging the trauma is important to healing
I’m glad I’m not the only one who realized this. The shift between both scenes, while telling the same story, makes them seem completely different stories.
This is literally the epitome of Latin families and the problems on us having to live to our elders expectations. The amount i uncontrollably sobbed while watching this, this movie literally made my family and I all have a 4 hour in depth discussion about our issues lmao
Suena surreal para mi, mi familia y yo lo vimos y creo que fui una de las únicas que casi se puso a llorar Para ellos fue solo una película mas a pesar de que les encantó (pun intended?) No creo que hayan entendido bien la peli
Good for you. My adult family, siblings already having families of their own, just dismissed everything as just another magical Disney movie😂 Oh to be a young family and growing up with siblings that are close to your age.
@@nycolleamendez5608 ni me atrevo a ver la película con mi papa. La otra vez que vimos una película y hablamos después de lo que se trató, no vio el mensaje DEL TODO. Y pensó que el tenía razón. (Mientras era obvio que no era eso).
My favorite part is 12:15 when Luisa is clearly struggling so hard and Mirabel finally sees the pain and anguish in her older sister and it breaks her heart.
Fun fact: Due to COVID-19 All the songs especially “we don’t talk about Bruno” the voice actors were in separate studios when they recorded the mix which in my opinion was probably very hard with all the parts over lapping and with Pepa and Felix’s part.
the first part with felix and pepa wouldn't have been super hard since most of felix's parts could absolutely be placed wherever necessary, but as for the rest of the harmonies they all had to be perfectly in tune and cut off at the right time, i think of which there's two, + the part where they're resinging their lines
Quite literally, all of them met up with each other for the first time at the premiere of the movie, due to Covid. None of the songs were sung together in the same place.
The sound prodicers, engineers, and mixers deserve their own Oscars or Grammies. And who ever conducted or directed too, I can't imagine how challenging, all that vocal orchestration would be.
@@sethsavsien3138 but she could hear Luisas eye twitch all night, hear "walls talk" and Isabelas bf read poetry at night. I kind of think she could hear everything from her room
A good vocal observation I have seen by someone on TH-cam was that Isabella looks and acts and sings like a classical Disney Princess. But during her song she learns more about being herself by Mirabel and this could be heard vocally. She sings louder and more out there and her last belting is actually the only true one she did in the song despite having some other loud moments. It keeps ramping up until she literally sings out of the standard princess range that is normally stays around the same tone hight.
Especially knowing she sings abour jacarandás, a tree that is known for being stunning but also having the perfect wood, bc its beautiful but also sturdy/strong on the inside, even mites dont dare getting near it
Fun fact: Stephanie Beatriz, who voices Mirabel, also played a role in a show called Brooklyn 99 in which she played this very violent and emotionally detached character who’s basically Mirabel’s complete opposite
I feel like no one even really talks about how young they are to have all this pressure either, not only do they get their gifts at such a young age but Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio (Pepa's children) are 21, 15, and 5 respectively. While Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel (Julieta's children) are 21 (a few months older than dolores), 19, and 15.
Exactly. Think about Dolores in particular, being completely overwhelmed with noise all of a sudden with no way to turn it off at 5 years old. Thats traumatising
I really love Luisa's part, her struggles of self worth being connected to her powers, being the older sister and carrying all the family burdens. Also, the song is really catchy.
i think there's something so special about the fact that this movie doesn't actually have a villain, it's just about how complex family can be and i just. yeah i cried a lot watching this lmao even cried watching ur reaction lmfao it just gets me
As someone with sensory issues due to autism and ADHD Dolores's gift would be hell on earth. Imagine you can hear every single sound and voice for miles all overlapping cacophonously from every direction at every time of day and being unable to tune it out. How does she function without constantly being overwhelmed with all of that auditory stimuli? How is she able to hone in on specific noises or voices and pinpoint their source? How does she sleep? I physically could not deal.
Only Disney could make me cry over a doorknob, lol. In all seriousness, this is probably one of my favorite movies Disney's put out in a while. It's surpassed Coco and Inside out as my favorite.
@@Lady_Ginnie I think it’s because it’s Bruno and Antonio. They are the purest characters and the only ones who always saw and accepted Mirabel as she is
That whole segment honestly makes me bawl now. That and when the villagers come to help them. I was kind of indifferent to that song compared to the others but now it’s probably like no. 2 after we don’t talk about bruno just bc of the emotion it brings.
"I'm not crying, you're crying." Was my thought through half the movie. Being able to say, "I'm not fine" is something I still struggle with and seeing them struggle with that alone yet come together in the end ... 😭
One of my favourite things about Encanto isn't just how good the songs are, but how each and every song is a central part of the storytelling, and not just a side event. The songs are the heart of this movie.
I agree. I also think that it’s a shame that not everyone can understand the song ‘Dos Oruguitas’ as they watch the movie for the first time, because it’s so emotional, and describes the images onscreen beautifully.
@@thebanana7331 I don't understand Spanish, though I've read the translation. At the end he sings it in English. But the pain and grief on abuelas face during the song makes me cry every time. The animators did an amazing job capturing human emotion visually and llm captured it in song.
Something cool I learned is that a "Madrigal" is a style of song where multiple vocal parts stack overtop of each other to come together into a single polyphonic piece. Like during We Don't Talk About Bruno when the whole family is singing different parts at the same time.
Okay… BUT HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT ENCANTO’S SCORE?!?!?! It is just so well done and every single backing track is so beautiful with these incredible themes especially Casita’s theme. And going into the album and seeing their names is so fun too. Like did you know that the backing track for the scene where Mariano is going to propose to Isabela is called the Dysfunctional Tango? That one is one of my favorites along with Family Allies which plays during the scene in the aftermath of the dinner with the Guzmán’s and the kids stand outside the house frightened of it and Abuela is talking to Julietta and Agustín. Also the songs Dos Orugutias and Columbia, Mi Encanto they wrote those songs in such a way that they sound like real Columbian pop-like songs but with lyrics that perfectly fit the plot of the movie. Also, I highly highly recommend looking up the English lyrics for Dos Oruguitas if you don’t speak Spanish. The lyrics just hit home so much more during the flashbacks of abuela and abuelo Pedro. Another great backing track though is El Baile Madrigal which plays underneath the party scene in Antonio’s room. Another one to check out is Mirabel’s Cumbia, it just has such an amazing melody and I love it. That’s all, byeeee
LITERALLY same the songs are great but the score is too I really liked the music in the part where Antonio gets his gift and rides the jaguar through his room and that part is called Antonio's voice and the score just sounds SO GOOD
@@Ganychan the soundtrack sure but not the score. The score is the music that plays underneath all of the scenes and don’t have any lyrics or have very simple lyrics sung by a choir like the opening to frozen.
Honestly haven't liked all the characters so much in a Disney movie in a while, but I genuinely like every character here. I love Abuela's voice, and it was so cute when she just hugs him and says Brunito and ahhhh when Pepa and Julietta hug him! And also this movie just made me love their names, like all the names just sound so great
Right? I like pretty much everything Disney has put out, but this... this was different. I connected to this way more than anything Disney's released in years.
@@Spectralyzed there was one thing that I felt they should have delved into deeper, why Abuela and Pedro had to leave and their story, but like other than that all the characters are likable on a whole new level
@@carolinemasson7172 well it all comes down to Displacements Which still happens in Colombia nowdays I can't say much since I'm from Venezuela but the most recent is as far as I know the displacement in Arauca
My favorite part of the whole movie was actually Pepa and Julietta's reaction to Bruno coming back. You could see from the looks on their faces that even though "we don't talk about Bruno" he left a big gaping hole in the family. Like even though they say the reason is his bad futures, its also from the fact that (like when there's a death in some families) they don't want to think about him, because it means they have to accept that he's gone.
25:20 The song "Colombia, Mi Encanto" was performed by Carlos Vives, one of my FAVORITE singers/musicians/songwriters since I was a very small child! My mom would play his music for me all the time and we love listening to his work today! He is a native Colombian, and he sings a style of music called Vallenato, which is one of Colombia's folkloric song styles; the name "vallenato" means "born in the valley". The songwriters at Disney wrote this particular song with his Vallenatos and another Colombian style of music called "champeta" as inspiration/as a basis, and sort of wrote it with him in mind before asking him to sing it for the film, to which he happily obliged! He loved Lin-Manuel Miranda's (and the other people at Disney's) enthusiasm for learning more and more about Colombia and its diversity, and their love for the country!
Random thing That stuck out to me from this movie: whenever Mirabel was sad, stressed or uncomfortable the cracks appeared Therefore, per my hypothesis, I believe that the door didn’t disappear the first time she touched it because she was denied a gift, but because the door became her, Casita became connected to Mirabel and her door was Casita
Others have talked about this, but I honestly think this movie sticks out among a lot of the classic Disney flicks- likely because the music was done by Lin Manuel Miranda, this show's soundtrack sounds like a stage musical, not a Disney Musical. The songs are highly, highly character driven, reflected in every single person having a perfectly unique voice that directly suits the character. The emotions just feel so much more raw, it sucks you in. I know it did me, and I literally had no expectations for this film. Yet it still punched me in the gut.
What do you think the chances are that they make a Stage Musical out of this? I say 100%. Disney isn't stupid. Just like they looked at Lion King and Frozen the animated versions and went BROADWAY!, they HAVE to know these songs have an audience already and will spend the money to give the people what they want. Don't you think?
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 Definitely agree there. I highly doubt it will take long. The stage crew though will need to be stupidly impressive for them to design a functioning Casita, or else they're have to make use of beauty and the beast style actors dressed as furniture to recreate certain scenes.
I've never watched this movie I've only seen clips of it and listen to the songs. Imo this movie is the best Disney movie. The last song always makes me want to cry even after listening to it so many time. We don't talk about Bruno is also a great song. How all of the singing comes together makes it so great. I just wish I can watch the movie soon
I love her having an attitude about Mirabel not having a gift. She reacted perfectly as a first time watcher for this movie to this movie on all parts.
“It’s bigger on the inside?!” Whoever wrote that line….HUGE Doctor Who fan. 😂 And “Waiting On A Miracle” is DELIBERATELY in 3/4 Waltz time to emphasize the point of Mirabel being different from the rest of her family.
@@allymensforth67 hmmmm us doctor who fans might be theorizing a bit to much but my theory is that casita is a version of the Tardis and Bruno is a time traveler! That explains his “visions” lol
@@axyur sure, look up Doctor Who BBC show and look at the thing called TARDIS. That’s what we are referring to! It’s a mystery sci-fi show on a time traveling alien and his human companions discovering new planets and monsters.
Dolores's part in when "WE Don't Talk About Bruno" one of her lines literally says " i can always hear him muttering and mumbling" at 16:10 so when at the end of the movie she says "i always knew he was there i heard him" like she tried cluing her cousin in...on a secret she couldn't say part of her reason for cracks in the house other the Luisa's and Isabella's.
She also says she can hear the rats TALKING in the walls. But only Antonio can hear animals talking. So, even if she told someone that, they probably all wrote her off as a bit crazy.
I think something that was so awesome about the last song is that it incorporated all of the previous songs rhythms into certain sections. Like when Luisa said “but sometimes I cry”, it was the in the same rhythm as when Isabela sang in “We don’t talk about Bruno”. :) very neat
fun fact: Stephanie Beatriz who played Mirabel was IN ACTUAL LABOR WHILE she recorded "waiting on a miracle". There was social distancing so no one at Disney even knew until after the film's release.
Sorry this is such a late response but for clarification, contractions can start days before active labor. It sounds like Stephanie may have been having contractions but she probably wasn’t in labor yet. She was probably very close though as it sounds like she gave birth less than 48 hours later!
Well...they're not all singing together, so as long as the sound editors do their job correctly, it'll sound amazing every time. It's difficult to harmonize with someone while you're hearing both your voice, and theirs. With more people, it gets even more difficult. But when everyone's in their own recording booth and doing their part separately and perfectly, it's just a question of putting it all together correctly. . It's still a fantastic job by everyone, but it's not as if they all got together and did it. That would've been massively challenging even for professional singers...let alone amateurs.
As a colombian, I wanna thank you Hannah for this amazing reaction! This movie means a lot to me and people of my country, because all the representation is magical and beautiful. The idea of showing to the world about the different cultures of Colombia is just fantastic. Also, "Dos Oruguitas" is very emotional for us, because we can see how Abuela Alma's husband was k!lled (is a sad representation of Colombian armed conflict), so it's a topic very hard for us and for our history as a country. Anyways, I'm so proud of this movie, thanks Disney and Lin Manuel for this amazing songs. Ps: sorry for my not perfect English, my native language is Spanish.
Your English is really good, also I’m glad you felt represented, I’m always wondering if people who these movies are about feel it’s accurate or hurtful so it’s nice to know encanto was good for you :)
I really relate to Pepa, and think she's a very underrated character. Like, I relate to her cuz she low-key has anxiety, and has a really hard time hiding and controlling her emotions, so she may come across as mean even though she's not, and needs someone very patient lol. When did this become a therapy session??? Anyways thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
Me: “why is she not sobbing at Luisa’s song??” Hannah: “I’m the youngest of 10” me: oh 😅 *cries in oldest child anxiety* Love you Hannah! Love your reaction almost as much as watching the movie!
Man, I'm the youngest but started crying at the song since my older sister has anxiety and my parents expect me to be perfect and strong (and I have to reassure her and kinda look after her LMAO)
Hannah I just want you to know that we really appreciate all of your hard work and your editors. Thank you for reacting to this movie for us. Your reactions are priceless and adorable
Not sure if this has already been said in any other comments but if you ever get the chance you should watch the song "Dos Orguitas" (the song that is being sung when Abuela goes over what happened in the past with Mirabel) with the subtitles on because the understanding the story being told in the song while watching the scene is beautifully heartbreaking. Essentially it's about two caterpillars who love each other but deep down know that there will be a time when they have to separate to grow and become the butterflies they are meant to be. Which, is why the butterfly symbol is so important.
Well, the actually fun thing is that during the credits you can hear the English version of that song, which nobody seems to know about. Am I the only one who sits through credits on non-Marvel movies anymore? xd
20:57 Notice how Abuela Alma was gesturing vehemently towards Mirabel, BUT here's an important thing to note: she never points or shakes just her index finger at Mirabel, which is something not many Latinos who I know do when they're angry/arguing. Instead, Alma uses her lower three fingers with the index finger and thumb folded in, or a closed fist with the index finger only slightly extended out past the other fingers, but still curled. My own family (we're Mexican) has done the second gesture when upset. It's just another unique, small, but meaningful cultural thing Pixar/Disney got right in this movie! (Like Camilo shaking his hand while repeatedly snapping his fingers when Antonio gets his room. This is commonly used to show amazement and awe when seeing something cool and impressive! Mirabel also points with her lips to Antonio's wrapped present she gives him before his Gift ceremony.)
I've noticed Disney doing that a lot with their recent animated films, actually paying attention to the cultures themselves and making it a part of the story instead of just a backdrop. They even use people from those cultures in the cast. Like with Moana, except for the chicken, every single cast member is Maori, Pacific Islander or Hawai'ian. Coco had much of their cast from the Mexican-American community and this had a lot of people from Central and South America. I hope they keep that up.
This movie does a really good job of representing latino households, especially those of the Catholic religion. Everyone's gimmick is an exaggeration of family life. The way the women are all in power. The pressures everyone feels. The way theres no such thing as boundaries under their roof. The only thing unfortunately is that they would never accept and acknowledge that we have mental health issues. That doesn't exist so therefore many of us never really get that resolution this movie gives. It lowkey made me sad thinking about how if I had this movie as a kid, it would have led to arguments in my house. This movie is dangerous if you have unresolved family trauma lol
Not just latino Catholic households. It definitely resonated with me and how I was raised in a traditionalist Catholic midwestern home. There really is no such thing as privacy and the pressure to be the 'perfect son' was heavy as hell.
umm you mean representing “COLOMBIAN” households because as far as i know we’re one of the few cultures where there’s a matriarch instead of a patriarch like mexico, cuba, etc…this movie is exclusively based in colombian culture let’s not forget that.
@@NinjaGidget no one’s referring to that song, they brought up the point on how the movie is representing other cultures when the producers and directors have said that the movie is representing exclusively colombian culture, with the traditions, people, beliefs, food etc…
@@itsokandres sorry, I should have made it clearer that I was responding to the original post. I totally agree with you that the creators were very focused on and intentional about putting Colombian life and culture on screen. My comment was more about how the portrayal of family life seems to have resonated with a lot of non-Colombian and even non-Latinex people. I didn't want to comment on how it felt for Colombians in particular because I'm not Colombian myself.
One of my favorite things is that, at the end of Surface Pressure, the last line is "No cracks, no breaks _no pressure"_ and that's really important. We say "no pressure" either as a sarcastic comment (" You just have to impress the in-laws or they'll never accept you, no pressure") or as an actual comfort ("Hey, it's a small gathering, no big crowds or extravagant speeches, no pressure"). Luisa's line is very clearly the former. "I can't have a single crack or break in my image or I'll end up being an outcast, a burden, or useless to everyone around me. No pressure!" It's such a small detail, but it's _so_ important, both to her character and to the song.
To add to that, she also says no mistakes before saying no pressure. This would mean that if she made a mistake, her entire image would be destroyed. Like it's expected that she would make no mistakes ever.
I relate to Luisa on so many levels. I’m the oldest of 4 and it really is a lot. Especially when she sings “see if she can handle every family burden” and “never wonder if the same pressure would’ve pulled you under” it hits me right in the heart.
It's not the same as having her sing more in the movie, of course, but her voice actress has been VERY happy to contribute to many fan works, including the fan song "Turn It Down," (set after the disastrous dinner/proposal party but before "What Else Can I Do?") where Dolores voices her fear and concern for the family and the miracle falling apart. HIGHLY recommend, the rest of the singing is average quality but Adassa is, well, herself
I LOVE the imagery of Mirabel putting her glasses back on, that blur, and then seeing her sister CLEARLY… just… AH! She’s seeing her sister and her struggles and her wants and needs for the first time and it’s represented soooo beautifully in the animation. Disney just GETS IT.
I just want to say for the record that pausing the movie while you make comments is SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE TO WATCH than 90% of other reactors on YT who just talk over important scenes & miss crucial information because they stopped paying attention to monologue. I get so frustrated by it so it's really refreshing to see someone who actually wants to watch the movie & also make comments without sacrificing one or the other. Your editor may not appreciate the extra footage but I certainly do! And on the topic of Luisa's character design, it's actually pretty funny because one of the animators tweeted about how hard they had to fight Disney to let them give her substantial muscles to match her strength. I'm guessing adding body hair was an equally big struggle for them, they really are the true heroes of this film.
Yes exactly! Their gift is their connection to Casita and that they help protect and nurture the magic to be the best it can be they just went about it in different ways! Abuela felt she had to be tough on the family because of the trauma she went through with losing her home, she felt like she had to protect the family and the town as a whole from going through that again but Mirabel with the new generation notices different problems and finds new ways to keep people safe without accidentally harming anyone in the process! Sorry I went on a bit of a ramble I just love this film-
I love Mirabel's character. She is so empathetic and kind. And funny! At first I hated how Isabella treated Mirabel but now I know her better. Still, I think Isabella reminds of the worst parts of myself, parts that I'm working on changing, and so I resent her. I try very hard not to be so casually cruel like she is in this movie & be kinder to my sisters now🖤
The literal and allegorical representations of a broken home and the fixing of it are so tactfully and well done. It doesn't get resolved as easily in real life but if a family sits down to watch this movie and it helps even a little bit, the message has done its job.
You would think that, but in reality trying to use this movie to bring out and heal family trauma will just incite denial and arguments. Bc we can watch movies about broken homes all day but the second you try to shine that light on *your* family, suddenly everyone is fine and doesn't have a problem and you're the problem for trying to talk about it. This is, unfortunately, the situation I'm in.
@@pinkclouds1292 That's what I meant by "it doesn't get resolved as easily in real life." Not every family would be open to that conversation. I feel for you. I also hail from a hopeless broken home.
Lin Manuel Miranda did a freaking miracle with this soundtrack. I mean, everyone who worked on this movie just created a masterpiece together. It's just perfect!
Luisa is the middle child and I’ve never felt more represented in my life. Very relatable and realistic roles Oldest: has to stay perfect due to the younger ones. They feel like they have to be the parent in whatever ways their parents fail, (because we're all human) and they also have more pressure. Middle: has to hear about everybody’s crap, because who else will they dump their loads on? Plus being older and younger (I’m the middle child). We feel obligated to stay quiet and bury down emotion for the other two. Youngest: often doesn’t know what their role is in the family because they feel like they don’t have as much importance or roles.
It's especially unfair that Mirabel doesn't get her own adult room even though Abuela, who also has no 'gift', DOES have her own room with a special door. Hopefully Casita gave her a room after they rebuilt the house.
I get that it’s unfair for Mirabel to not have her own room, but your reasoning is a bit off. Abuela is literally the HEADMASTER of the family. It just doesn’t makes sense for her to not have a room even if she doesn’t have any powers
I think it's implied that Mirabel is intended to be the next head of the house, and the one who continues the tradition of presenting the doors/gifts to the family. So, presumably, when Abuela eventually passes away, she would be given her room.
The front door has her initial on it and my friend came up with the idea that her “gift” is the casita. We believe she is the next matriarch of the Madrigal family.
Well, to be honest. Is wasn't Casita the one who build itself. But the family, even Mirabel. I don't think they forget about giving her a room (even Mirabel could ask for it during the build process) I'm sure she has a room on her own. Not a magical one, but a room to her taste.
I was a Soprano 1 in all of my choir classes, always was, always have been. Until one choir teacher tested my range and put me in alto 2, she didn’t do it because I sung low notes, not even close. She did it because I could reach a C7 but I for the life of me couldn’t do low notes. She did it to expand my range, in her words exactly she said “you’re amazing, really, you are, but you won’t stand out if you can’t do both.” I’ll never forget that. In the time I was in alto I realized how under appreciated they are. It’s something you don’t really pay attention to when you’re a soprano, when you’re a soprano it’s like being the favorite child. I watched Encanto with the friends I made while being an alto and one of them actually cried, it was tears of joy, she’s fine.
@@kittykatsanchez one isn’t better than the other, everyone knows that but for some odd reason altos are always under appreciated in choirs and groups, since sopranos are usually the lead.
you're being very condescending. That is my point. One isn't better the other so one shouldn't be appreciated more. One should not have all the leads. Sopranos should not be the favorite children and you are not more special than the rest. That is what you're saying, isn't it? I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve being unnecessarily argumentative with someone who's not disagreeing with you.
Don’t know if you noticed but when they gave her the doorknob, this is the reason why mirabel lost her door, so she could open the door that brought back her family & house together. As well as when she sang Im not fine, she sang in the lyrics, i want to move mountains, i want to make things grow and talking to her two sisters, she help move mountains for louise by showing her that its okay not to always be strong and for isabella not to always be perfect as long as you grow and build something new.
One of the best things about 'Waiting on a Miracle' is that the Voice Actress for Mirabel was going into labor while singing it. She didn't tell anyone because she didn't want to delay the song. Once it was over, she was rushed to the hospital to have her baby.
“Why do people just walk into her room without asking?” Welcome to a hispanic household 😂 At least Augustin had the decency to knock before shimmying in 😂
The animal with the deadpan expression during Bruno's ritual is a capybara, and the ones you were calling red pandas are coatimundis. All of the animals in Antonio's room are native to Columbia.
really late but at 23:20 when bruno is singing "let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it go" the beginning of let it go from frozen plays in the background. i think that's just a really cool easter egg
All the songs are wonderful, but my absolute favorite is Surface Pressure. The lines "Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks" and "Give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would have pulled you under" hit me like a ton of bricks. I just, ugh, love this song so much. Also when you kept talking about Bruno and how we need to talk about him I was laughing "Does she knew?!" Loved it.
As a Colombian girl I fell this movie really deeply! The songs, the coffee, the Palma de cera.... Everything is just beautifully done and with a lot of respect of our culture ❤️ you are right loving this movie!
I’m just watching your reaction video, but let me tell you that this movie and every song hit HOME for me. Coming from a Latino family, with me in every one of the Madrigal Grandkids and Bruno’s roles, it hit me hard. I cry every time I see it, although Mirabel got her happy ending and so far I haven’t, this movie has helped me through so much trauma because of the music and characters. I’m really glad you liked it!!
I was the black sheep of the family. My grandparents wanted a boy so badly that when I was born they were disappointed. I never noticed how much so until my younger brother was born and they basically ignored me and acted like I wasn’t even there. I grew up wishing I was better and acted out trying to have someone care. After many years and meeting some amazing friends (and cutting off a few family branches) I finally learned to love myself and be happy I was born the way I am. This movie hits home so hard for me, not being special enough and being ignored by the matriarch… I won’t lie I’ve cried a few times watching this over and over again.
*"We don't talk about Bruno..BUT we do sing about him."*
-The Madrigals, except for Abuela
And Luisa... She's good just crying in the background
And Julieta cause she ain’t gonna talk trash about her bro behind his back like that
And Antonio because he never knew about bruno
and the rats, because they be loyal
What about Agustin, you guys?
random detail that stuck out to me about this movie: The family photo that Mirabel gets excluded from in the beginning looks very rehearsed and everyone with a very visual gift is demonstrating their powers in the photo (Luisa lifting a big rock, Isabela's flower petals, etc), but the final family portrait in the end is just them all standing together as a family, without any of that polish or fanfare. Goes to show that even in something as simple as a family photo there was pressure on everyone to be a certain way and make the family look good.
It’s also kind of blurry from them moving last second. Really a true large family photo!
This!!
dam i never knew that !! great detail luv !
oo then I can add pepa's rainbow & dolores' hand cupping her ear
Bro shut up you're so smart
Fun fact: Lin-Manuel Miranda wanted Mirabel's "Waiting on a miracle" to feel out of sync with the family thus making it more true to Mirabel's reality. He wrote this track in a 3/4 measurement, while the rest of the family solo and group songs were written in 2/4 and 4/4. I think that's a very cool detail.
It is!
Ooooh I didn't know that, that's actually really cool!
Wow that's such a cool detail
wow
That's so clever!
i really don't see many people mention it, but in the very beginning when Abeula is talking about what she went through losing her husband, it's glossed over, and the animation reflects that. Later on, when mirabel see's what she went through, you get the full animation, the pain and agony as she watches her love be taken from her, brings her to her knees. So heart wrenching.
Also, abuela sings almost exclusively in the melody of Dos Oruguitas
Exactly! Everyone acting like the reconciliation goes too fast between Abuela and Mirabel because she doesn't technically SAY anything outright, but the animation makes it clear that she is finally opening up and telling the full story and _that_ is the reconciliation, that explains why she is like this and how she heals, gods this movie is a masterpiece
I noticed that when I first watched it. It struck me how that pain and grief came through so strong. Heartbreaking, but excellently done.
It's no wonder the whole family feels pressure to be a certain way because it starts from the top. Abuela kept her past trauma held in and kept up a strong front "for the good of the family" just as much as anyone else. Mirabel is the only Madrigal-born one who is her authentic self. She also cares so much about her family that she is willing to let them shine while she supports them in the background (well, except for Isabela, lol). She is treated like an outsider, like a maid or housekeeper, I think because she is "obviously" not magical/perfect because she wears glasses like her nonmagical father. (I don't see anyone else in the whole town with glasses except the two of them.) The candle knew that she didn't need a gift because she would one day lead the family. She is the new, up-and-coming rock of the family -- the new Abuela.
Fun Fact: Stephanie Beatriz (The voice actor who portrays Mirabel) was 9 months pregnant when she recorded waiting on a miracle, she gave birth about 48 hours after her final recording of the song!
Wow ! I guess that was her miracle
damn thats some talent
@@ilovegod0106 lol yes
@@FlowersOfAmity Ikr?!
AWWW
Mirabel didn't get a gift because she's a gift herself. She's the magic. She didn't get her own room but Casita is hers.
Ha ha ha yeah she didn’t get a gift but she’s getting all the inheritance 😅🙈
Does that mean when Mirabel dies, so does the miracle (like how the candle went out and so did the magic)
@@heyhai7182 not really, as you see Abuela was in Mirabel's current position, she had control over the house, she used to be the magic of it, but since she's closer to passing then the casita and the magic decided to not give Mirabel a "gift" years ago cause in the future it would all make sense, Mirabel was the in line for the inheritance of the house, Abuela is getting old now and that's why the house and the magic was fading, so it needed the young Mirabel's magic now. So when Mirabel or any of her cousins/sisters have children, one of them will take Mirabel's place as she gets older.
@@Starlight-nd3pw that makes much more sense thank you!
@@Starlight-nd3pw yea,, it was like her door bonded with casita.
Something I like about Dolores' part in we don't talk about Bruno is the fact that not only does she sing in like a whisper-ish tone but you can also hear all of their movements clearer. Example: their shoes hitting the floor, her grabbing mirabel and pulling her the other way. It's just like we had her powers in that moment and hearing everything amplified
mhm same
And all of her movements are designed to hide the fact that Bruno is in the background sneaking to the kitchen from his secret entrance behind the painting (you see him on the balcony). She makes obvious footsteps to hide his, and she turns Mirabel away from him, checking to make sure she didn't see him. He also probably knows because he starts dancing to the beat lol
yes, and she is singing in the minor of that one chord progression... knowing Miranda that means something.
@@LPnerd oh I see, yea the suspense in the music and melody gives a suspenseful feeling as well
Yep. So clever.
19:25 when Camilo shifts into that half baby person and shouts "Mirabel" is like the funniest thing ever to my omg
I truly love how, in the beginning, Abuela looks sad when Abuelo dies, but when there is actual footage of what happens, she has the worst grief and pain a person can experience. She shielded the family for so long, she forgot to be part of it :(
I noticed this after a few watch-throughs and every time I see it in a reaction video it's just as heartbreaking as the first time I noticed it. Such a great little detail
I truly hate when people say Abuela Alma is unforgivable. They cant forgive her, she was escaping massacres, destruction of her town, her husband was killed in front of her eyes, she had 3 new babies she needed to be strong for. She had no time to be duel in his sadness. She had to keep going for her kids. I am not taking the blame away from her, but she also had trauma. She said it : "I'm sorry I held on too tight, I was AFRAID to lose you too"
@@milagros104 Not to mention that’s inspired in real life Colombian issues and millions of Colombians have to suffer that too. Honestly I hate it too as they are downplaying all the trauma that actually happens
The animators did amazing work with that scene. The devastation on her face is so visceral and real. I couldn't believe how real and solid everyone in the movie seemed despite so obviously not being real. That expression was a total gut punch, I was super impressed. Y'know, once I was done choking back the tears....
It’s an incredibly nuanced scene. There are many little differences and details. Abuela’s excruciating facial expressions. Mirabel seeing her grief and then turning and seeing not the sanitized childhood story of Pedro being “lost” but the brutal reality of his murder. The candle’s power, which doesn’t rise softly after his death like in the intro scene, but rather explodes violently in defense of Abuela and her babies. It’s masterful story telling.
hannah: "we should be talking about Bruno"
me: "don't worry the entire fanbase has that covered"
BRUH TRUE
Yesss lol
WE
DONT
Bruno is the resident woobie!
I AGREE ABOUT THE CHARACTER IN MIRABEL’S VOICE. I see a lot of people talking about the quality of singers in Disney “decreasing” and it’s like first of all, no, they still have immensely talented actors/singers. But in this movie they emphasize the CHARACTER over the singing so while maybe vocally it’s not like the best technique ever it has a lot of life to it and it feels like these people are conversing through song rather than just singing randomly.
And the hilarious thing is, the people who are complaining probably can't hold a note
@@MyLittleGreenHairdedMermaid CORRECT. EXACTLY. YES.

@@HannahBayles My family got you beat by six. I am the youngest of sixteen kids
@@HannahBayles kids don't have a filter, for better or worse, and it's one of the things I truly love about them. One time I was helping at a local school to tell kids about my occupation and what I do, and hopefully spark their interest, and they talked about practically anything BUT my job.
A few memorable things they said:
5yr old boy "Miss, are you in a relationship?"
Me "no I'm not, currently"
5yr old girl "why not? You're really pretty, and smart! If I were older I'd absolutely want you to be my girlfriend!"
6yr old girl: "MISS DO YOU LIKE MAKEUP?" (I'm a beautician studying to be physiotherapist)
Me "I suppose so, it's quite fun don't you think?"
Girl "then why does it look like... That..?"
Me "you don't like it?"
Girl "no it should be pink! Brown isn't a pretty colour for your eyes!"
Me "so, that was my little say for now, any questions?"
6/7 yr old boy "isn't that school for stupid people?"
(PS, how are you and your kid/family doing?)
@@HannahBayles “I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO SING PRETTY” HAHAHAHAHA
During Luisa's song ("Surface Pressure"), you caught what a LOT of people seem to miss - the line "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service". That line BANG! Changes the entire mood.
My favorite song of the movie.
YES Bruv
You could hear my heart shatter on that line
I love how Luisa changes the tone of her voice depending on what she's doing. She gets lighter, and higher pitched when she's talking about what she's really feeling or what she would like to do, but, it gets deeper and more round when she's trying to put on the strong facade.
YES, that line and the one in Isabella's song "it didn't need to be perfect, it just needed to be" are just it
I see a lot of people really relating to that line tho. I think what’s really sweet in the segment is how she keeps protecting mirabel and even fixes her glasses at one point as a caring older sister.
Y'know, there's something I noticed about Abuela Alma's bit during the Family Madrigal opening number. The way she sings her part sounds like the tune from Dos Oruguitas which is really cool.
Yea there's a similar thing in the part where Mirabel sings "it just seems like your life's been a dream since the moment you opened you eyes" to Isabella in "What Else Can I Do?" Which is sung in the same tune as Isabella sings "he told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine" in "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
Other characters sing in their own "theme" song too! In "All of You" at the end they all sing in their own theme during their parts.
Lin does this in every one of his musicals, it’s amazing
@@mamajenkins1981 Yes! He's a genius!

One lyric detail I also really like and haven’t seen anyone talk about is in the Family Madrigal, Mirabel describes their family like “a perfect constellation, so many stars and everybody gets to shine”, but in All of You she sings instead “a glowing constellation, so many stars and everybody wants to shine”, like they’re now acknowledging that the family isn’t perfect, but that’s ok, and it’s still good. Also its acknowledging that not everyone actually was treated equally, but everyone in the family wanted to “shine”, and to be perfect and have Abuela’s validation.
Then add that too "but stars don't shine they burn" and you have the fact that their original goals weren't even in their nature.
@@ThatOneLadyOverHere after Luisa sing "but sometimes I cry" Mirabel sing " the stars don't shine they burn, and the constellations glow" meaning there better when they work together not against each other
I also think that the "the stars don't shine they burn" makes it clearer that that performance of the gifts take effort and risk burnout. It's not just effortless shiny display.
@@amberprophet I didn't even think of it in the context of burnout. I kinda interpreted it as "shine" being an innate quality, like you describe something as shiny, whereas "burn" takes active effort and is more dynamic and more alive, like people are always growing and changing
@@amberprophet also stars really do burn not shine ✨ it’s pretty cool they added knowledge too
It was recently confirmed that Bruno’s room didn’t originally look like that. It wasn’t as destroyed but because he was isolated and alone, and wasn’t using his gift, his room started to represent that feeling of being deserted, alone, and lifeless. And it was also confirmed by the makers that Dolores room was made soundproof so when Abuela was talking out the window or when Bruno and mirabel were talking, she wouldn’t have been able to hear it if she was in her room since everything is soundproof.
Then how did Dolores know that Luis’s eye was twitching all night
@@acatonceattackedmeandscrat6302 She was simply not in her room
@@TechBlade9000 *ok*
Not arguing but where was this confirmed?
@@mattieRcox prob twitter
I love that while everyone else reacts to the "Was Hercules ever like, 'yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?'" line, you instead reacted to the next line which always caught me as the more impactful line, "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service." Also, Bruno's room. I always saw it as being kind of weird and broken because his connection with the rest of the family is severed.
huh, i never see anyone react to the Hercules not wanting to fight Cerberus line and typically see people react more to the feeling worthless if she can't be of service. I find both of them resound so heavily emotionally with me.
@@felixhenson9926 Those that react are usually reacting to the construction of the line, how Cerberus is shortened to make it match the rest of the lines around it. Neat musical trick.

Lol yes many people are misinterpreting Antonio's and Mirabel's relationship as that of a nephew-aunty instead of bro-sis cousins.
That look that Louisa gives Mirabel when the pile of rocks comes down on her gets to me. That combination of helplessness, desperation, and pleading makes me cry every single time. An entire lifetime of need to be heard, summed up in a single look is heartbreakingly beautiful.
Ikr 😭 the song goes from her denying she has a problem to a call for help it makes my heart hurt every time
Same! That exact same moment. I cry every single time in that part of the song.
Luisa*
Latino/Spanish (language wise ) way of spelling it is Luisa. Louisa is more of a white /English way to spell it. My name is also Luisa and hate when people spell it as Louisa . I always have to spell it out for ppl to avoid the O. My diploma unfortunately is spelled as Louisa which gave me a hard time proving it was mine later on.
@@Salazuki I did not know that. Thank you for letting me know, and I will make sure that I do better on that in the future
@@kimberlyrodrigues2998 I didn't even know people spelled it that way lol
I always saw Mirabel's voice kinda straining with "Waiting On A Miracle" because she was physically holding back her grief at being brushed aside by her family. She's keeping herself together through pure force of will, and the fact Stephanie Beatriz can communicate that in her singing without actually crying, since that would make her voice all stuffy, is incredibly impressive.
Also, in regards to Dolores and privacy, the writers confirmed that Dolores' room is completely soundproofed.
I used to thinl this too but how is her room soundproofed if she heard Luisa's eye twitching all night? And always listens to Mariano's poetry before going to sleep?
@@mari_0556 Dolores heard Luisa's eye twitch during the party, and it's likely she just hung out on a balcony and listened to Mariano's poetry before going to bed.
@@mynameischris378
Ohhhh good point! These theories and stuff are getting quite confusing lol. Thx:)
"She communicated holding back her grief"
To be fair, she was holding back a baby during that recording
Well, that really helps since she lives a house with two married couples, and one of them is her parents.
Edit: the Dolores part is what I'm referring to.
21:42 This movie touched the hearts of SO MANY Colombianos who saw it because it sheds light on Colombia's very tragic, bloodshed-filled history and the sacrifices many people made to keep their families alive and hopefully let them have a future, like Abuelo Pedro did. It helps un-erase something from a lesser-known country's history that many people haven't wanted to talk about because honestly, ... it's very painful and so, so hard.
❤I wish world leaders would focus more on healing trauma than starting wars.
Now theres Venezuela threatening to invade Guyana. Conquer it because the colonial charter or whatever they say should make them own the oil. Still the only reason it causes us sadness is because the beauty outweighs the evil, if it were mostly bad we'd have nothing to lose, but we do have things to lose which is why we have everything instead of nothing@@Crazy_Diamond_75

Mirabel's voice is made by Stephanie Beatriz, who portrays Rosa in Brooklyn 99. If you haven't watched it you should check out how different she sounds (appart from season 1). It' s crazy.
How she sounds as Rosa isn't her real voice.
she's so fucking versatile. She CANNOT be typecast. This, Heights, 99, Bojack, everything is so different, there's no breaking the illusion like with Patrick Stewart or someone
@@QuikVidGuy my mind still cannot accept the fact that Stephanie voices Mirabel and plays Rosa Diaz.
Stephanie Beatriz is a chameleon of an actor.
@@kentinson1670 me too! She’s so amazing!!
She is also in “in the heights” another lin-Manuel musical.
A fun fact with Luisa, the animators actually had to fight to get her to be buff and designed how she was. Disney originally didn't want her to be a buff and thick character.
I saw this sweet girl breakdown in a tikrok video saying that "Luisa" was the first time she saw her own body represented in a movie in that way. It brought me to tears.
What's even more hilarious is that when they made the merch, they SEVERELY underestimated how popular Luisa would be bc they thought girls would all want Isabella. So they ended up selling out of Luisa merch and having a surplus of Isabella merch 😂
The part when the donkeys were playing the violin on the titanic was based off real people that were musicians and when the titanic was sinking they were playing music because they weren’t allowed on the safety boats
@@pinkclouds1292 This actually isn't true. They made equal amounts of Luisa and Isabella merch, and they both sold about the same because both characters are lovable and relatable.
The only one who got fucked over by the toy companies was Camillo. xD
@@destineeinness6821
I know it's not much, but I kinda would like to honor them by telling the names of those eight musicians. Maybe their love for music was bigger than their fear of death.
Wallace Hartley, 33 years old, the bandmaster and violinist from Colne, England.
Percy Cornelius Taylor, 40 years old, cellist from London, England.
John Wesley Woodward, 32 years old, cellist from West Bromwich, England.
John Frederick Preston Clarke, 28 years old, bassist from Liverpool, England.
Theodore Ronald Brailey, 24 years old, pianist from London, England.
Georges Alexandre Krins, 23 years old, violinist from Spa, Belgium.
John Law Hume, 21 years old, violinist from Dumfries, Scotland.
Roger Marie Bricoux, 20 years old, cellist from Cosne-sur-Loire, France.
Only three of the musicians bodies were recovered: Wallace Hartley, John Frederick Preston Clarke and John Law Hume.
The other 5 were never found.
It's been over a year now, but I still can't get over how brilliantly 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' is composed and performed It's like the perfect storm of musical talent coming together to crush all resistance.
Ikr
That song, and indeed the whole movie, deserved all the hype that it got! Love it!
It's insane because it's really only three cords until Isabella's part, in which it shifts from C minor to the relative E major. Then, some spicy jazz cords, then finally back to the same three 1, 4, 5 C minor cords.
Aaaaaaaand that way of singing is actually called… a madrigal
So, we not gonna talk about Camillo? Like, his Part in “we don’t talk about Bruno” alone was astronomical, and being him must give the word identity crisis a whole new meaning. Imagine others constantly wanting you to be someone else, and never really needing *you*
we don't talk about Camillo-o-o-o
We don’t talk about Camilloooooooo
Honestly i love Camillo and Im full onboard with the idea of them being gender-fluid or nonbinary considering that they dont shapeshift exclusively into men. But you're right on the identity crisis thing, they get the gifts when they are so young, Camillo never got a chance to learn who they are before they started being everyone else, regardless of gender or age.. Even one of the screenplay writers has started that Camilo is someone who "doesn't quite know who they are yet"
CASITA NEEDED TO GO OUT BECAUSE HER GIFTS WERE ALLOWING EVERYONE TO DIVIDE THEMSELVES
Sequel/TV-series idea
20:25 When Isabela gets yellow on her dress from her plants she freaks for a second and looks at Mirabel for approval, and when she gives it to her Isabela lets herself do what she wants. I personally think that that's beautiful. Idk if this is what's happening but I think it's a nice interpretation.
Omg yess!
I never noticed that- that’s rlly depressing now that I think abt it
You're totally on to something, I didn't notice that.
It's cut out from this reaction but when Alma comes back to start yelling at Mirabel, Isabella starts panicking and then defaults to her "perfect, pretty" mode where she pulls her hair back and goes back to the shadows. Alma really controlled her whole life
When Isa has a little freak out about the guy wanting 5 babies and her hair produces flowers, Abuela picks out the odd white flower from the bunch. So even her freak outs have to appear “perfect”
The main thing I’m obsessed with animation wise is the skirts and other fabrics, like we’ve had decent fabric engines for a few years but to have them actually pick up and hold them, dance with them? And how fluid they are? Phenomenal
Also, that animal you didn’t know is a capybara and they are adorable
The dancing in general is incredibly detailed. I’m obsessed as well.
One of the few animals Disney can't make cuter than it already is.
Just to note, none of this film was motion capture, unlike most animation films or shows. All of the movement with clothes and particles was done painstakingly by a team of wonderful artists with just some reference notes. None of it is particle renders that are made by a simulation. It’s truly amazing
same I love me some flowy outfits
Yeah that and the hair animation are extraordinary
My favorite part about Isabella's song difference between We Don't Talk About Bruno and What Else Can I Do is the pitch. She's so much higher and princess perfect, then she actually gets to sing more like "herself" and get some low notes and belts. It's such a subtle character change but I love it so much.
One thing that adds onto that is that the final verse/bridge of "What Else Can I Do" modulates DOWN into the final chorus, instead of up. Instead of reaching new heights and soaring above her family as the beautiful flower-power angel, she instead grounds herself (roots herself? eh?) in her new identity, doubling down on choice to live for herself instead of for her family. It's an incredible choice which I would chalk up to coincidence but it's Lin Manuel Miranda and every single aspect of this music is deliberate.
How are we going to miss the iconic scene of Camilo singing "SEVEN FOOT FRAME, RATS ALONG HIS BACK"
That's how you know for sure she hasn't been seeing the memes lol
Yes! I came to comment she skipped the best part!
I was just thinking she didn’t talk about my favorite parts of We Don’t Talk About Bruno (Camilo and Dolores).
I love how in “Surface Pressure” Luisa says “all WE know is pressure like a drip drip drip” pointing out that not just her but the entire family feels pressure
I think maybe the "we" was about sisters who take on the pressure?
just a nice fun fact abuela is voiced by the same actress that was abuela claudia in both in the heights movie and musical on broadway, lin wont let go of her and i thank him for that
Abuela's singing voice! Abuela's speaking voice is Maria Cecilia Botero :D
Lin really went: You're my abuela now. no take backsies.
Olga Merediz only did the singing voice for Abuela in this movie
@@rileykveton9866 "That was abuela, she's not really my abuela but-"
In the height movie was great too
Dude I just noticed that whenever a gifted family member is singing, their song sequences are imaginative and Mirabel struggles to keep up, for example getting knocked around during we don’t talk about Bruno and falling off the donkey in surface pressure. But when mirabel has her own songs they happen in freezeframe sometimes, but always in real life
Fun fact: In the family Madrigal song, in Abuela’s part, you can hear a bit of Dos Oruguitas because she can’t let go of Pedro.
I'm not crying you're crying
No everyone is crying
"sob*
That's so cool and sad at the same time :(
Ohhh!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am fascinated by how different the two versions of the story Abuela tells Mirabel are. The first is sanitized for a small child, and the second is full of all the pain now that Mirabel is old enough to understand, and acknowledging the trauma is important to healing
I’m glad I’m not the only one who realized this. The shift between both scenes, while telling the same story, makes them seem completely different stories.
This is literally the epitome of Latin families and the problems on us having to live to our elders expectations. The amount i uncontrollably sobbed while watching this, this movie literally made my family and I all have a 4 hour in depth discussion about our issues lmao
Suena surreal para mi, mi familia y yo lo vimos y creo que fui una de las únicas que casi se puso a llorar
Para ellos fue solo una película mas a pesar de que les encantó (pun intended?) No creo que hayan entendido bien la peli
Good for you.
My adult family, siblings already having families of their own, just dismissed everything as just another magical Disney movie😂
Oh to be a young family and growing up with siblings that are close to your age.
That's awesome! So many families choose to live in denial, so at least yours has a chance for growth. I'm glad you got to talk it out with tjem.
@@nycolleamendez5608 ni me atrevo a ver la película con mi papa. La otra vez que vimos una película y hablamos después de lo que se trató, no vio el mensaje DEL TODO. Y pensó que el tenía razón. (Mientras era obvio que no era eso).
My favorite part is 12:15 when Luisa is clearly struggling so hard and Mirabel finally sees the pain and anguish in her older sister and it breaks her heart.
Fun fact: Due to COVID-19 All the songs especially “we don’t talk about Bruno” the voice actors were in separate studios when they recorded the mix which in my opinion was probably very hard with all the parts over lapping and with Pepa and Felix’s part.
the first part with felix and pepa wouldn't have been super hard since most of felix's parts could absolutely be placed wherever necessary, but as for the rest of the harmonies they all had to be perfectly in tune and cut off at the right time, i think of which there's two, + the part where they're resinging their lines
Quite literally, all of them met up with each other for the first time at the premiere of the movie, due to Covid. None of the songs were sung together in the same place.
The sound prodicers, engineers, and mixers deserve their own Oscars or Grammies. And who ever conducted or directed too, I can't imagine how challenging, all that vocal orchestration would be.
About Dolores’s gift. She has a section in her room that is sound proof. So she doesn’t always hear everything.
YEAH BUT SUPER SOUND PROOF
All her room is sound proof, as in it she can have a break of her own gift. However, I am not certain if she is safe from the sounds in her room...
@@sethsavsien3138 but she could hear Luisas eye twitch all night, hear "walls talk" and Isabelas bf read poetry at night. I kind of think she could hear everything from her room
HAVE YOU BEEN lN HER ROOM ???
@@evie.2179 That was a theory that has been confirmed.
A good vocal observation I have seen by someone on TH-cam was that Isabella looks and acts and sings like a classical Disney Princess. But during her song she learns more about being herself by Mirabel and this could be heard vocally. She sings louder and more out there and her last belting is actually the only true one she did in the song despite having some other loud moments. It keeps ramping up until she literally sings out of the standard princess range that is normally stays around the same tone hight.
I believe I know which reactor you’re talking about. And yeah, he compared her vocal evolution to transitioning from “Princess” to “Idina”/Elsa.
@@rivendells_shona yeah that one. I have seen almost every vocal reaction to the songs so I really don't know who said it. I only know it was a guy XD
Especially knowing she sings abour jacarandás, a tree that is known for being stunning but also having the perfect wood, bc its beautiful but also sturdy/strong on the inside, even mites dont dare getting near it
@@Smartie234 Tristan something or another. I can’t remember his channel name.
@@rivendells_shona Tristan Paredes!
Fun fact: Stephanie Beatriz, who voices Mirabel, also played a role in a show called Brooklyn 99 in which she played this very violent and emotionally detached character who’s basically Mirabel’s complete opposite
I feel like no one even really talks about how young they are to have all this pressure either, not only do they get their gifts at such a young age but Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio (Pepa's children) are 21, 15, and 5 respectively. While Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel (Julieta's children) are 21 (a few months older than dolores), 19, and 15.
Exactly. Think about Dolores in particular, being completely overwhelmed with noise all of a sudden with no way to turn it off at 5 years old. Thats traumatising
all the pressure put on antonio to continue the family miracle makes me so sad
I really love Luisa's part, her struggles of self worth being connected to her powers, being the older sister and carrying all the family burdens. Also, the song is really catchy.
Forget "We don't talk about Bruno" - Luisa's song is the best. "Surface Pressure" SLAPS.
I think someone mentioned that Luisa was thr middle child, and that Isabel was the oldest.
@@paleindian10 yeah, she is the middle child, I learned that after commenting that, my bad
@@allih8021 I loved "We don't talk about Bruno", but "Surface Pressure" hits different

i think there's something so special about the fact that this movie doesn't actually have a villain, it's just about how complex family can be and i just. yeah i cried a lot watching this lmao even cried watching ur reaction lmfao it just gets me
Yes! Exactly!
As someone with sensory issues due to autism and ADHD Dolores's gift would be hell on earth. Imagine you can hear every single sound and voice for miles all overlapping cacophonously from every direction at every time of day and being unable to tune it out. How does she function without constantly being overwhelmed with all of that auditory stimuli? How is she able to hone in on specific noises or voices and pinpoint their source? How does she sleep? I physically could not deal.
The creators of the movie confirmed that her room is completely soundproof
In addition to the soundproofed room, I would presume it's like superman - learn to filter.
But yeah, hell on earth until you do.
Yes, you should buy the glasses. Also, for the songs and dances they contracted a lot of choreographers to help with the animations

In all seriousness, this is probably one of my favorite movies Disney's put out in a while. It's surpassed Coco and Inside out as my favorite.
And it doesn't matter how many times I've heard or seen it, "we made this one for you" flips the switch every. Single. Time.
@Adam Davis SAME!!
"You're the real gift, kid. Let us in," also undoes me every. Single. Time.
@@Lady_Ginnie I think it’s because it’s Bruno and Antonio. They are the purest characters and the only ones who always saw and accepted Mirabel as she is
That whole segment honestly makes me bawl now. That and when the villagers come to help them. I was kind of indifferent to that song compared to the others but now it’s probably like no. 2 after we don’t talk about bruno just bc of the emotion it brings.
"I'm not crying, you're crying." Was my thought through half the movie. Being able to say, "I'm not fine" is something I still struggle with and seeing them struggle with that alone yet come together in the end ... 😭
One of my favourite things about Encanto isn't just how good the songs are, but how each and every song is a central part of the storytelling, and not just a side event.
The songs are the heart of this movie.
It's a true musical in cgi form which stays true to Lin-Manuel Miranda's style, too.
I agree. I also think that it’s a shame that not everyone can understand the song ‘Dos Oruguitas’ as they watch the movie for the first time, because it’s so emotional, and describes the images onscreen beautifully.
@@thebanana7331 I don't understand Spanish, though I've read the translation. At the end he sings it in English. But the pain and grief on abuelas face during the song makes me cry every time. The animators did an amazing job capturing human emotion visually and llm captured it in song.
Something cool I learned is that a "Madrigal" is a style of song where multiple vocal parts stack overtop of each other to come together into a single polyphonic piece. Like during We Don't Talk About Bruno when the whole family is singing different parts at the same time.
Okay… BUT HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT ENCANTO’S SCORE?!?!?! It is just so well done and every single backing track is so beautiful with these incredible themes especially Casita’s theme. And going into the album and seeing their names is so fun too. Like did you know that the backing track for the scene where Mariano is going to propose to Isabela is called the Dysfunctional Tango? That one is one of my favorites along with Family Allies which plays during the scene in the aftermath of the dinner with the Guzmán’s and the kids stand outside the house frightened of it and Abuela is talking to Julietta and Agustín. Also the songs Dos Orugutias and Columbia, Mi Encanto they wrote those songs in such a way that they sound like real Columbian pop-like songs but with lyrics that perfectly fit the plot of the movie. Also, I highly highly recommend looking up the English lyrics for Dos Oruguitas if you don’t speak Spanish. The lyrics just hit home so much more during the flashbacks of abuela and abuelo Pedro. Another great backing track though is El Baile Madrigal which plays underneath the party scene in Antonio’s room. Another one to check out is Mirabel’s Cumbia, it just has such an amazing melody and I love it. That’s all, byeeee
LITERALLY same the songs are great but the score is too I really liked the music in the part where Antonio gets his gift and rides the jaguar through his room and that part is called Antonio's voice and the score just sounds SO GOOD
Everybody is talking about the Encanto soundtrack.
@@didntseeyatherehi oh my god. My phone corrected it to Columbia like the brand. Yeah I meant Colombia. Whoops
@@Ganychan the soundtrack sure but not the score. The score is the music that plays underneath all of the scenes and don’t have any lyrics or have very simple lyrics sung by a choir like the opening to frozen.
Howard Ho is absolutely not shutting up about the score. No worries 😁
Honestly haven't liked all the characters so much in a Disney movie in a while, but I genuinely like every character here. I love Abuela's voice, and it was so cute when she just hugs him and says Brunito and ahhhh when Pepa and Julietta hug him! And also this movie just made me love their names, like all the names just sound so great
Right? I like pretty much everything Disney has put out, but this... this was different. I connected to this way more than anything Disney's released in years.
I think abuelas voice from encanto is abuela claudia voice from the movie in the heights
@@Spectralyzed there was one thing that I felt they should have delved into deeper, why Abuela and Pedro had to leave and their story, but like other than that all the characters are likable on a whole new level
@@carolinemasson7172 well it all comes down to Displacements
Which still happens in Colombia nowdays
I can't say much since I'm from Venezuela but the most recent is as far as I know the displacement in Arauca
My favorite part of the whole movie was actually Pepa and Julietta's reaction to Bruno coming back. You could see from the looks on their faces that even though "we don't talk about Bruno" he left a big gaping hole in the family. Like even though they say the reason is his bad futures, its also from the fact that (like when there's a death in some families) they don't want to think about him, because it means they have to accept that he's gone.
25:20 The song "Colombia, Mi Encanto" was performed by Carlos Vives, one of my FAVORITE singers/musicians/songwriters since I was a very small child! My mom would play his music for me all the time and we love listening to his work today!
He is a native Colombian, and he sings a style of music called Vallenato, which is one of Colombia's folkloric song styles; the name "vallenato" means "born in the valley".
The songwriters at Disney wrote this particular song with his Vallenatos and another Colombian style of music called "champeta" as inspiration/as a basis, and sort of wrote it with him in mind before asking him to sing it for the film, to which he happily obliged! He loved Lin-Manuel Miranda's (and the other people at Disney's) enthusiasm for learning more and more about Colombia and its diversity, and their love for the country!
Random thing That stuck out to me from this movie: whenever Mirabel was sad, stressed or uncomfortable the cracks appeared
Therefore, per my hypothesis, I believe that the door didn’t disappear the first time she touched it because she was denied a gift, but because the door became her, Casita became connected to Mirabel and her door was Casita
You also don't see the house interacting with anyone else the way it interacts with Mirabel.
Interesting!
@@kaylee5438 Other than Abuela
"I believe." Without evidence supporting it, though. People are getting really fanficky with this film.
@@carlotta4th ok don’t be a sourpuss and knock fanfic. The movie left quite a few things unanswered and we’re just trying to make sense of it.
Others have talked about this, but I honestly think this movie sticks out among a lot of the classic Disney flicks- likely because the music was done by Lin Manuel Miranda, this show's soundtrack sounds like a stage musical, not a Disney Musical. The songs are highly, highly character driven, reflected in every single person having a perfectly unique voice that directly suits the character. The emotions just feel so much more raw, it sucks you in. I know it did me, and I literally had no expectations for this film. Yet it still punched me in the gut.
What do you think the chances are that they make a Stage Musical out of this? I say 100%. Disney isn't stupid. Just like they looked at Lion King and Frozen the animated versions and went BROADWAY!, they HAVE to know these songs have an audience already and will spend the money to give the people what they want. Don't you think?
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 Definitely agree there. I highly doubt it will take long. The stage crew though will need to be stupidly impressive for them to design a functioning Casita, or else they're have to make use of beauty and the beast style actors dressed as furniture to recreate certain scenes.
I'm just happy they used all of Lin Manuel Miranda's talents on the soundtrack instead of having him do two songs like in Moana.
I've never watched this movie I've only seen clips of it and listen to the songs. Imo this movie is the best Disney movie. The last song always makes me want to cry even after listening to it so many time. We don't talk about Bruno is also a great song. How all of the singing comes together makes it so great.

She literally said "Do you understand?" 💀 😮
No sarcasm btw I genuinely didn't even think about it "
She also says she can hear the rats TALKING in the walls. But only Antonio can hear animals talking. So, even if she told someone that, they probably all wrote her off as a bit crazy.
She also said “I can hear him now” that was her last line when Mariano was coming!
There's also her line, later in the song, "It's like I hear him now. I can hear him now." I love Delores.
I think something that was so awesome about the last song is that it incorporated all of the previous songs rhythms into certain sections. Like when Luisa said “but sometimes I cry”, it was the in the same rhythm as when Isabela sang in “We don’t talk about Bruno”. :) very neat
fun fact: Stephanie Beatriz who played Mirabel was IN ACTUAL LABOR WHILE she recorded "waiting on a miracle". There was social distancing so no one at Disney even knew until after the film's release.
NO WAY
@@kirstenkolkman6758 yes way. She said it in an interview.
Yep!! I read the interview as well!!
Sorry this is such a late response but for clarification, contractions can start days before active labor. It sounds like Stephanie may have been having contractions but she probably wasn’t in labor yet. She was probably very close though as it sounds like she gave birth less than 48 hours later!
The harmonies are to DIE for - especially in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "All Of You" 😭❤️👏
@Carlito Norvincent then don’t

Well...they're not all singing together, so as long as the sound editors do their job correctly, it'll sound amazing every time. It's difficult to harmonize with someone while you're hearing both your voice, and theirs. With more people, it gets even more difficult. But when everyone's in their own recording booth and doing their part separately and perfectly, it's just a question of putting it all together correctly.
.
It's still a fantastic job by everyone, but it's not as if they all got together and did it. That would've been massively challenging even for professional singers...let alone amateurs.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 I'm not quite sure that needed to be pointed out. Because I think every one knew that. But thanks for the info anyways ig😂💖🤘
YES YES YES 👏👏👏
As a colombian, I wanna thank you Hannah for this amazing reaction! This movie means a lot to me and people of my country, because all the representation is magical and beautiful. The idea of showing to the world about the different cultures of Colombia is just fantastic. Also, "Dos Oruguitas" is very emotional for us, because we can see how Abuela Alma's husband was k!lled (is a sad representation of Colombian armed conflict), so it's a topic very hard for us and for our history as a country.
Anyways, I'm so proud of this movie, thanks Disney and Lin Manuel for this amazing songs.
Ps: sorry for my not perfect English, my native language is Spanish.
Hell yes, Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius. I love him so much!
Your English is really good, also I’m glad you felt represented, I’m always wondering if people who these movies are about feel it’s accurate or hurtful so it’s nice to know encanto was good for you :)
Ppl from Colombia? Bro we international 😆 perioddd
I really relate to Pepa, and think she's a very underrated character. Like, I relate to her cuz she low-key has anxiety, and has a really hard time hiding and controlling her emotions, so she may come across as mean even though she's not, and needs someone very patient lol. When did this become a therapy session??? Anyways thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
You may want to check out Cinema Therapy's reaction to Encanto but ....bring a whole truck of tissues, seriously.
Me: “why is she not sobbing at Luisa’s song??” Hannah: “I’m the youngest of 10” me: oh 😅 *cries in oldest child anxiety*
Love you Hannah! Love your reaction almost as much as watching the movie!
OMG - RIGHT?! Oldest child anxiety felt on the the worst level here! Love that song so much but can't not tear up during it either!
It’s about the middle child….Isabella is the oldest child, not Luisa.
@@trivialove4565 didn’t say she was the oldest. I just said I related to the pressure as an oldest child.
@@Red99Blue81 for sure!! We’ve watched it 20+ times & I still have to fight back tears! 😭
Man, I'm the youngest but started crying at the song since my older sister has anxiety and my parents expect me to be perfect and strong (and I have to reassure her and kinda look after her LMAO)
Hannah I just want you to know that we really appreciate all of your hard work and your editors. Thank you for reacting to this movie for us. Your reactions are priceless and adorable
Not sure if this has already been said in any other comments but if you ever get the chance you should watch the song "Dos Orguitas" (the song that is being sung when Abuela goes over what happened in the past with Mirabel) with the subtitles on because the understanding the story being told in the song while watching the scene is beautifully heartbreaking. Essentially it's about two caterpillars who love each other but deep down know that there will be a time when they have to separate to grow and become the butterflies they are meant to be. Which, is why the butterfly symbol is so important.
when i heard it with subtitles I SOBBED
I speak spanish and when I heard the song for the first time I cried for like 10 minutes straight
i always watch movies with subtitles because it helps me take in everything a little more and watching that scene with subtitles just wrecked me
Well, the actually fun thing is that during the credits you can hear the English version of that song, which nobody seems to know about. Am I the only one who sits through credits on non-Marvel movies anymore? xd
@@ippinkorca Same here. Spanish is my first language but I watched the movie in English but that song WRECKED me.
20:57 Notice how Abuela Alma was gesturing vehemently towards Mirabel, BUT here's an important thing to note: she never points or shakes just her index finger at Mirabel, which is something not many Latinos who I know do when they're angry/arguing.
Instead, Alma uses her lower three fingers with the index finger and thumb folded in, or a closed fist with the index finger only slightly extended out past the other fingers, but still curled. My own family (we're Mexican) has done the second gesture when upset.
It's just another unique, small, but meaningful cultural thing Pixar/Disney got right in this movie! (Like Camilo shaking his hand while repeatedly snapping his fingers when Antonio gets his room. This is commonly used to show amazement and awe when seeing something cool and impressive! Mirabel also points with her lips to Antonio's wrapped present she gives him before his Gift ceremony.)
I've noticed Disney doing that a lot with their recent animated films, actually paying attention to the cultures themselves and making it a part of the story instead of just a backdrop. They even use people from those cultures in the cast. Like with Moana, except for the chicken, every single cast member is Maori, Pacific Islander or Hawai'ian. Coco had much of their cast from the Mexican-American community and this had a lot of people from Central and South America. I hope they keep that up.
This movie does a really good job of representing latino households, especially those of the Catholic religion. Everyone's gimmick is an exaggeration of family life. The way the women are all in power. The pressures everyone feels. The way theres no such thing as boundaries under their roof. The only thing unfortunately is that they would never accept and acknowledge that we have mental health issues. That doesn't exist so therefore many of us never really get that resolution this movie gives. It lowkey made me sad thinking about how if I had this movie as a kid, it would have led to arguments in my house. This movie is dangerous if you have unresolved family trauma lol
Not just latino Catholic households. It definitely resonated with me and how I was raised in a traditionalist Catholic midwestern home. There really is no such thing as privacy and the pressure to be the 'perfect son' was heavy as hell.
umm you mean representing “COLOMBIAN” households because as far as i know we’re one of the few cultures where there’s a matriarch instead of a patriarch like mexico, cuba, etc…this movie is exclusively based in colombian culture let’s not forget that.
I thought the whole "we don't talk about Bruno" thing was pretty emblematic of how a lot of traditional families regard mental health issues?
@@NinjaGidget no one’s referring to that song, they brought up the point on how the movie is representing other cultures when the producers and directors have said that the movie is representing exclusively colombian culture, with the traditions, people, beliefs, food etc…
@@itsokandres sorry, I should have made it clearer that I was responding to the original post. I totally agree with you that the creators were very focused on and intentional about putting Colombian life and culture on screen. My comment was more about how the portrayal of family life seems to have resonated with a lot of non-Colombian and even non-Latinex people. I didn't want to comment on how it felt for Colombians in particular because I'm not Colombian myself.
One of my favorite things is that, at the end of Surface Pressure, the last line is "No cracks, no breaks _no pressure"_ and that's really important.
We say "no pressure" either as a sarcastic comment (" You just have to impress the in-laws or they'll never accept you, no pressure") or as an actual comfort ("Hey, it's a small gathering, no big crowds or extravagant speeches, no pressure").
Luisa's line is very clearly the former. "I can't have a single crack or break in my image or I'll end up being an outcast, a burden, or useless to everyone around me. No pressure!" It's such a small detail, but it's _so_ important, both to her character and to the song.
To add to that, she also says no mistakes before saying no pressure. This would mean that if she made a mistake, her entire image would be destroyed. Like it's expected that she would make no mistakes ever.
I relate to Luisa on so many levels. I’m the oldest of 4 and it really is a lot. Especially when she sings “see if she can handle every family burden” and “never wonder if the same pressure would’ve pulled you under” it hits me right in the heart.
Ouch!
Same here. Oldest of four and it's so draining.
@@cloudyyy- I know!
I’m an only child, and the fourth born cousin, but I felt this pressure growing up, too.
Im the youngest but i relate to this from the pressures of living up to my sister and school expectation
I will forever be upset that Dolores didn't get more singing parts. Her voice is simply the best
If there’s ever a sequel I want more of Dolores and her brothers singing because they are all awesome!
It's not the same as having her sing more in the movie, of course, but her voice actress has been VERY happy to contribute to many fan works, including the fan song "Turn It Down," (set after the disastrous dinner/proposal party but before "What Else Can I Do?") where Dolores voices her fear and concern for the family and the miracle falling apart. HIGHLY recommend, the rest of the singing is average quality but Adassa is, well, herself
You’d probably like the song Turn It Down by OR3O. Trust me.
I LOVE the imagery of Mirabel putting her glasses back on, that blur, and then seeing her sister CLEARLY… just… AH! She’s seeing her sister and her struggles and her wants and needs for the first time and it’s represented soooo beautifully in the animation. Disney just GETS IT.
I didn't think about that!
I just want to say for the record that pausing the movie while you make comments is SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE TO WATCH than 90% of other reactors on YT who just talk over important scenes & miss crucial information because they stopped paying attention to monologue. I get so frustrated by it so it's really refreshing to see someone who actually wants to watch the movie & also make comments without sacrificing one or the other. Your editor may not appreciate the extra footage but I certainly do!
And on the topic of Luisa's character design, it's actually pretty funny because one of the animators tweeted about how hard they had to fight Disney to let them give her substantial muscles to match her strength. I'm guessing adding body hair was an equally big struggle for them, they really are the true heroes of this film.
I think that Mirabel is like a “new Abuela” because Abuela do not have a gift too but she can control the house.
Yep! Mirabel is the next candle holder.
Her grandma was old school and she didn't realize it,so she hade to save the family from the old ways
@@soniatafoya8863 ,
An old school grandma would've ran after seeing magic. 🤣
Yes exactly! Their gift is their connection to Casita and that they help protect and nurture the magic to be the best it can be they just went about it in different ways! Abuela felt she had to be tough on the family because of the trauma she went through with losing her home, she felt like she had to protect the family and the town as a whole from going through that again but Mirabel with the new generation notices different problems and finds new ways to keep people safe without accidentally harming anyone in the process!
Sorry I went on a bit of a ramble I just love this film-
The fact that you can see the stress and the sadness and depression in Luisa's eyes is heartbreaking
I love Mirabel's character. She is so empathetic and kind. And funny! At first I hated how Isabella treated Mirabel but now I know her better. Still, I think Isabella reminds of the worst parts of myself, parts that I'm working on changing, and so I resent her. I try very hard not to be so casually cruel like she is in this movie & be kinder to my sisters now🖤
The literal and allegorical representations of a broken home and the fixing of it are so tactfully and well done. It doesn't get resolved as easily in real life but if a family sits down to watch this movie and it helps even a little bit, the message has done its job.
You would think that, but in reality trying to use this movie to bring out and heal family trauma will just incite denial and arguments. Bc we can watch movies about broken homes all day but the second you try to shine that light on *your* family, suddenly everyone is fine and doesn't have a problem and you're the problem for trying to talk about it. This is, unfortunately, the situation I'm in.
@@pinkclouds1292 That's what I meant by "it doesn't get resolved as easily in real life." Not every family would be open to that conversation.
I feel for you. I also hail from a hopeless broken home.
Lin Manuel Miranda did a freaking miracle with this soundtrack. I mean, everyone who worked on this movie just created a masterpiece together. It's just perfect!
Just an FYI on Delores' gift, it's been confirmed that her bedroom is soundproofed so she has a respite from her power
I'm an alto, and after since I saw this movie, I've been singing Luisa's song non-stop because there is FINALLY a Disney solo in my range!
"Non-Stop" Omygosh lol
(Sorry Its another song by the same writer of encantos music, Lin Manuel miranda~ :>

Luisa is the middle child and I’ve never felt more represented in my life. Very relatable and realistic roles
Oldest: has to stay perfect due to the younger ones.
They feel like they have to be the parent in whatever ways their parents fail, (because we're all human) and they also have more pressure.
Middle: has to hear about everybody’s crap, because who else will they dump their loads on? Plus being older and younger (I’m the middle child). We feel obligated to stay quiet and bury down emotion for the other two.
Youngest: often doesn’t know what their role is in the family because they feel like they don’t have as much importance or roles.
As an oldest daughter in a latin family... SO TRUE

My favorite part of the video ahahaha
It's especially unfair that Mirabel doesn't get her own adult room even though Abuela, who also has no 'gift', DOES have her own room with a special door. Hopefully Casita gave her a room after they rebuilt the house.
I get that it’s unfair for Mirabel to not have her own room, but your reasoning is a bit off. Abuela is literally the HEADMASTER of the family. It just doesn’t makes sense for her to not have a room even if she doesn’t have any powers
I think it's implied that Mirabel is intended to be the next head of the house, and the one who continues the tradition of presenting the doors/gifts to the family. So, presumably, when Abuela eventually passes away, she would be given her room.
Mirabel's door is the front door to casita 🙂 (but I agree she shouldn't have to stay in the nursery until Abuela dies, unless she chooses to)
The front door has her initial on it and my friend came up with the idea that her “gift” is the casita. We believe she is the next matriarch of the Madrigal family.
Well, to be honest. Is wasn't Casita the one who build itself. But the family, even Mirabel. I don't think they forget about giving her a room (even Mirabel could ask for it during the build process) I'm sure she has a room on her own. Not a magical one, but a room to her taste.
I was a Soprano 1 in all of my choir classes, always was, always have been. Until one choir teacher tested my range and put me in alto 2, she didn’t do it because I sung low notes, not even close. She did it because I could reach a C7 but I for the life of me couldn’t do low notes. She did it to expand my range, in her words exactly she said “you’re amazing, really, you are, but you won’t stand out if you can’t do both.” I’ll never forget that. In the time I was in alto I realized how under appreciated they are. It’s something you don’t really pay attention to when you’re a soprano, when you’re a soprano it’s like being the favorite child.
I watched Encanto with the friends I made while being an alto and one of them actually cried, it was tears of joy, she’s fine.
What you said is so so true ! I used to be an alto but now they put me in sopranos, I love the fact that I can do both!
That's so weird about sopranos. One isn't better than another. It's just different voice types.
@@kittykatsanchez one isn’t better than the other, everyone knows that but for some odd reason altos are always under appreciated in choirs and groups, since sopranos are usually the lead.
you're being very condescending. That is my point. One isn't better the other so one shouldn't be appreciated more. One should not have all the leads. Sopranos should not be the favorite children and you are not more special than the rest. That is what you're saying, isn't it? I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve being unnecessarily argumentative with someone who's not disagreeing with you.
@@kittykatsanchez I’m not trying to be, sorry if it came off that way
Don’t know if you noticed but when they gave her the doorknob, this is the reason why mirabel lost her door, so she could open the door that brought back her family & house together. As well as when she sang Im not fine, she sang in the lyrics, i want to move mountains, i want to make things grow and talking to her two sisters, she help move mountains for louise by showing her that its okay not to always be strong and for isabella not to always be perfect as long as you grow and build something new.
One of the best things about 'Waiting on a Miracle' is that the Voice Actress for Mirabel was going into labor while singing it. She didn't tell anyone because she didn't want to delay the song. Once it was over, she was rushed to the hospital to have her baby.
“Why do people just walk into her room without asking?” Welcome to a hispanic household 😂 At least Augustin had the decency to knock before shimmying in 😂

The animal with the deadpan expression during Bruno's ritual is a capybara, and the ones you were calling red pandas are coatimundis. All of the animals in Antonio's room are native to Columbia.
Encanto. Or as I like to call it, "This One is For the Altos." Finally, a soundtrack I can actually sing!
i personally believe sopranos are superior but ig y’all can have this one
@i’m so slow turtles are my spirit animal 🐢 ... could you just not.
@@jesussaves_28 altos are so much better. sopranos just scream the song lmao
Facts. Finally I can sing Disney music without sounding like I’m screeching
really late but at 23:20 when bruno is singing "let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it go" the beginning of let it go from frozen plays in the background. i think that's just a really cool easter egg
All the songs are wonderful, but my absolute favorite is Surface Pressure. The lines "Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks" and "Give it to your sister and never wonder if the same pressure would have pulled you under" hit me like a ton of bricks. I just, ugh, love this song so much.
Also when you kept talking about Bruno and how we need to talk about him I was laughing "Does she knew?!" Loved it.
The minute Hannah said "she's so fun!" i already knew this would be like an emotional rollercoaster by the time waiting on a miracle was over
As a Colombian girl I fell this movie really deeply! The songs, the coffee, the Palma de cera.... Everything is just beautifully done and with a lot of respect of our culture ❤️ you are right loving this movie!
I’m just watching your reaction video, but let me tell you that this movie and every song hit HOME for me. Coming from a Latino family, with me in every one of the Madrigal Grandkids and Bruno’s roles, it hit me hard. I cry every time I see it, although Mirabel got her happy ending and so far I haven’t, this movie has helped me through so much trauma because of the music and characters. I’m really glad you liked it!!
I was the black sheep of the family. My grandparents wanted a boy so badly that when I was born they were disappointed. I never noticed how much so until my younger brother was born and they basically ignored me and acted like I wasn’t even there. I grew up wishing I was better and acted out trying to have someone care. After many years and meeting some amazing friends (and cutting off a few family branches) I finally learned to love myself and be happy I was born the way I am. This movie hits home so hard for me, not being special enough and being ignored by the matriarch… I won’t lie I’ve cried a few times watching this over and over again.
I’m so happy for you! You deserve the world, my love! 💗
