- Gdiddilyday, favourites!
I was indeed an emotional wreck at the end of this one, so apologies for not being able to close out properly. This movie was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every moment of it. Such beautiful individual characters, outstandingly gorgeous animation, and a family centric story that pulled at my heartstrings.

Fun Spanish note:
When Mirabel's father finds out Dolores heard them, he says 'miercoles.' Literally, this means... Wednesday. Which might seem a weird thing to randomly say.
But it's a riff on 'mierda,' which means poop. It's like saying 'fudge'.
That's awesome. He's basically like "ah... shit". 🤣
I remember my best friend pointing that out, and he was confused cuz he was learning Spanish but didn't know the context of it, it gave us a big laugh afterwards.
I'm a grown ass boomer vet, and my eyes water everytime I watch that Dos Origuitas scene.
It hits me HARD every damn time. I just showed the movie to my mother yesterday because she's from a similar large family and we were both messes at that scene.
Every time. I've probably watched two dozen reactions to this movie, and Dos Oruguitas makes me tear up always.
Me too, bruh. And as a Colombian, the scene resonates with me.
Encanto hits me hardest in three sections.
First, Surface Pressure. As an older sibling, husband, and the father of two boys, I tend to put my own needs behind those of other people. If I'm in pain, I'll push through it because people need me to be strong and do things. If I'm feeling sad/depressed, I hide it the best that I can because I need to be productive at work to earn money for my family. There are so many times when, like Louisa, I was strong on the outside but crumbling inside. Plus, I'll often feel like time spent on me is time taken away from doing for others so "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" hit extra hard.
Next up is Dos Oruguitas. Not for any personal reason. It's just a masterfully performed scene that uses imagery and music to rip your heart out and stomp on it. I wouldn't trust anyone who makes it through that scene and isn't, at best, barely holding back the tears. If a person watches that and their reaction is "meh," I'd back away slowly.
Finally, the doorknob scene. Mirabelle is finally recognized by her family. She's seen for being an amazing young woman regardless of her gift status. As I said, I push myself to do so much for others. Oftentimes, it feels like I'm not appreciated so when people see my efforts and let me know that they appreciate me, it feels great. As Mirabelle walks past her family, my eyes always tear up.
Some details i noticed:
The madrigals get their gift at age 5 (antonio is 5 during the movie) and Bruno left right after mirabel didnt receive a gift, so since shes 15 now, hes been behind the walls for 10 years.
Julieta and Agostin wear blue and purple tones, so does Luisa Mirabel and Isabela
Felix and Pepa wear yellow orange and red so does Antonio, Dolores and Camilo
Mirabel got little details on her clothes that have the symbols for everyone in the family.
Coffee is very common on latino countries, and children do drink it (mostly with milk but some do drink it pure)
Fun Fact: the word "madrigal" is a type of secular acapella singing that became popular in the Renaissance. Each singer sang a different part at the same time but it was all connected through similar sounds and melodies - just like the final section of We Don't Talk About Bruno, where they all sing their parts at the same time. And the family's name is Madrigal.
I absolutely adore that, thank you for telling me!! 🥰
Also, Madrigal sounds like magical and Mirabel like miracle, so at the end Mirabel is the miracle that her family needed and restore the magic :)
I love you. this is the best reaction of Encanto I've seen and I love your energy!!! Fun fact... well, not so fun, actually: sad fact, it was not colonizers. Us Colombians have had a history of violence since the birth of our country and our history is full of people killing people bc of political differences. it is very sad how our country, being so magical and beautiful, has so many problems with violence, corruption, poverty, massive forced displacement, etc. Anyways, Thank you so much for such amazing work and you have a new subscriber. Love from Colombia!!!
Thank you, that’s so sweet of you! And thank you again for the information! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment 💕💕
@@JabberwockyReacts Yup, the real life events that influenced the violence in this movie came quite a while after colonization...however, the systemic damage from colonization laid the foundations for a lot of the subsequent violence, corruption and everything else.
Honestly, if someone didn't get emotional at Encanto I'd be a bit taken aback.
As an older sibling there is a lot of pressure to be the strong one
I can't imagine! I feel like as an only child I have to somehow balance being all and neither, but always doing my best to make mumma proud.
I cried so much during that song lmaoo
I have watched this a thousand times and every time, I sob. Disney and Pixar have been putting out movies about healing the inner parts of yourself that have been hurt and traumatized. In my opinion...their stories all connect to an inner "hurt" on the inside of all of us. Acceptance and healing is the true miracle. That's why in a part of Bruno's vision, you see the grandmother's inner young adult that needs an understanding hug because she went through so much, alone...but when the image turned around, you see it had to start with understanding "Miss Perfection". This was great!!!
I am an older sibling but honestly where Surface Pressure got me was I have disabling medical issues & I'm a mom to a glorious kiddo who just happens to have special needs. When the pandemic hit, I lost the ability to care for myself because I felt like being Mom came first. The first time I saw this movie, I ugly sobbed when Surface Pressure came on. It's exactly how I was feeling on the inside but always struggle to admit. It might sound strange but this movie has been so healing for me ❤
One little detail that i love is that during "waiting for a miracle", the first firework is a bright green like Tio Bruno's eyes when he uses his powers and the glass slates they make.
A fun fact about Waiting on a Miracle: Mirabel's voice actress was actually in labor when she recorded that song. It's pretty impressive. ^^
I'm a musical theatre kid and I don't think I could do that well sitting down, let alone birthing a child
Was she literally in labor, or was she heavily pregnant?
@@KaleidoAbridged She was literally in labor. It's pretty impressive. ^^
@@KaleidoAbridgedthe labor started, she wasn't pushing the baby out or anything :)
If you don’t still run on all fours up the stairs you’ve lost a bit of your childhood. 👍
"I'm Jorge. I make the Spackle."
I love Bruno so much XD
You get lots of bonus points for the Sergeant Schultz reference.
You have no idea how exciting it was to finally find a reactor who even MENTIONED ocd when it comes to Bruno oh my god. His actions tend to get brushed off as "he's just superstitious" and it's frustrating af. So. You rock. Is what i'm saying. The reaction as a whole was great of course, you're super entertaining, but I just wanted to mention that specifically because it's important. Also: Your makeup here is amazing. The eyeshadow color is so pretty i kept wanting to focus on it jskdhks
Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle to the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle fixes it.The front door is her room and the whole house is her room. And The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift. she is possibly the next Abuela/matriarch of the next generation
14:14
I’m the eldest of a family of six turned five after my stepdad passed. I was the third parent and constantly trying to be good enough so that my mom and stepdad didn’t need to stress. I was used to it, as I already had most of my childhood taken by divorce and being newly medicated (Autism, ADHD, and depression). Then, when my stepdad passed, the scraps I had were taken by his death.
I was the gold child, much like Isabella. I got the perfect grades, I was social, I was friendly, I was well liked (I hung out with everyone and even won Prom Queen). But when I wasn’t the golden eldest, I was the taxi driver, the maid, and the comforter. I was the anchor, but I was struggling mentally due to being overused, overwhelmed, and over worked. I was burnt out by the time I turned 18, and everything kind of just became a routine (much like Luisa).
I wouldn’t say I regret baring the burden, I regret keeping them secretive. Anytime I’d cry over little things, my family called my overdramatic. I don’t have the heart to explain that it’s just a culmination of stress that I’m too afraid to let out. And tbh, I don’t think any of them would listen anyway.
If you are a child-parent like I was, don’t make the same mistake I did. Talk to someone, I still have the awful habit of restraining my emotions for the sake of others and it’s not healthy. But I’m working on it.
I’m sorry if this bummed anyone out, but just thought I’d give insight on what being the eldest is like for some people 💛
I loved your reaction. You are one of a very few reactionsts that pretty much caught the concept of the entire movie from the very beginning. You actually apologised abuela for being too harsh on her, rather than ostracising her - very much the essence of the entire movie. And don't worry about getting emotional. I've seen the entire movie at least 5 times by now and I've seen a countless amount of reactions and every time it gets me. Actually if I were doing a reaction you'd see a pile of sobbing mess at one point. No other film ever hit me that hard.
29:33 so funny how Dolores was just crouching on Mariano's back just waiting for an opening to show up
I showed this to my little niece and the look on her mum's face when the 'pressure' song came on was incredible. She spent the rest of the night talking about the pressure daughters are put under, I think this film really pulls the bandaid off a bit quick.
A friend actually sat me down and showed me the clip of the song before I'd even heard of the film and I just stared at it slack jawed and trying to react normally to it. I have had three twitches in my eye at once.
My mum absolutely adores that song and part of the movie, because she was the sibling that raised most of her younger brothers nd sisters, and had a lot of responsibilities from a young age, so she related heavily!
@@JabberwockyReacts wow she was so courageaous.
The song is incredivle when you know that Luisa is the middle child
I want to say i am also an only child and my mother was supposed to not be able to have children. But as a so called 'miracle child' i relate so much to having so much preasure to be perfect
Thank you so much for this great reaction! 🙏🥰😍
Your comments were witty and insightful 😊❤
You understood everything and didn't vilify any of the characters (which is unfortunately a common thing that happens, especially with Alma's character). You really "got" it 😊🥰😍
Good reaction. I've watched way too many, and I still tear up at all the right places. My advice to you (other than to be kind to yourself) is to put your makeup on AFTER the tear-jerker. We won't mind.
I'm not even halfway through your video yet but I had to stop and thank you for your comments about Dolores' power! 🥰😍🥰
As a person on the Autism spectrum, my sensory issues mean that I cannot tune out the noises most people don't even realize they are hearing!
When you hear a car alarm down the street or a siren in the neighbourhood or an aeroplane going by, that gives you an idea of the range of the average human's hearing. BUT most people's brains only notice the alarming or unusual sounds whereas I hear all the commonplace sounds as well 🙉
Especially when you said about the water in the pipes! I live in a colder climate, so all winter, the hot water in the cold pipes and the furnace running and the wind...I often miss what someone in my own living room is saying due to distracting background noises.
I'm planning to get earbuds that control voices, ambient sounds, amd bluetooth all separately so that I can turn up what I WANT to hear and turn down the rest, but I only learned recently that they existed! I knew there were noise cancelling headsets, but headsets drive me nuts (like having your head in a vice) so the earbud kind would be something I can actually use!
Dolores is such a relatable character for me and I am so glad so many people can see that and empathize because it really IS a lot for our brains to process! 🙏💕
"This is the only place we'd be safe from Darth Vader." 😄
When Mirabel was pledging with her hands on the candle to honor the family & community with her gifts, she then wiped her hands on her dress, wiping the magic of the candle on herself. So she became an Embodiment of the candle. When Bruno had his vision of her in front of the house, with all the cracks, she was 5, but the vision showed her as a teen. What the vision depicted, was the house cracking, in reaction to her. Before & at Antonio's party, she gets hurt, & distressed by the micro aggressions (telling her to step aside) & the passive aggression (leaving her out of the picture), & the house begins cracking & falling apart. Then it seems to at least temporarily heal itself. All the cracks through the years that Bruno has been patching up, are a result of the fractures in the family relationships, & the stress & pressure Abuela puts on the younger generations to put up a front at all times. And this includes Mirabel. It's like stress fractures in the house. And when Mirabel loses all hope (temporarily), it all falls apart & the flame goes out completely. Yet the house helps her get to the candle, & not Isabella, or Camilo. When the house is rebuilt, & Mirabel connects the doorknob, the magic is restored & everyone's powers return, without the candle - because she holds the magic. Also she is appointed for Abuela's mantel to pass down to her. She literally & figuratively mends the house & family, & helps hold it all together. Also there are only 2 people in the house who speak directly to Abuelo. And 2 people who speak to the house. And the house helps everyone in it, but it only obeys 2 people. In each of those instances it's Abuela & Mirabel.
It may not be an original idea, but with the scene of Mirabel bringing the magic back with the doorknob, I suspect she's meant to take over the role of "abuela" to carry on the family keeper of the magic.
25:31 That's not weird at all. I actually thought that too until I realized Pedro isn't the House he's the Candle.
15:03 OMG YES My sister and I always did that
YES! The primal urge to simply crawl up the staircase like an animal lmaoo
By 28:39 - "It was the power of the coffee!" This made me laugh so very hard!
I watched this having just gotten my booster... I was feeling sick and emotional... I cried NON-STOP the entire movie XD XD
This is the exact energy I needed to lift my spirits, amazing reaction!! please keep it up, i'd love to see more
Casita might be my favourite sidekick character in any Disney movie.
I love this movie ...I relate so much to Mirabelle and kinda to Luisa indifferent ways and both their songs feel very strong to me
I don't think Pedro was in the final but there was concept art and such with him as the house spirit.
15:30 I react the same when Animals give me side-eye. Like “don’t look at me like that. I’m doing the best I can and you don’t have thumbs!” 😂
I am new to this channel and I loved your reaction, you are very charismatic, +1 sub
By the way, I thought I was the only one who was desperate to see the children drinking coffee all the time lmao-
When you said “yhue” at like, 30:49, I felt that.
Great reaction!
Thank you!! 😍
Eyyy I run up the stairs on all fours too! It makes me feel fast gjsfsjd
I think we are best friends separated at birth 😹 amazing reaction and also fucking weeped when I watched this movie! But your humor!!! 💀 immediately subscribed
Lmao omg thank you 🤣🤣
A wonderful surprise for me to find your channel! You're terrific as a reactor, love the energy and the jokes.
Welcome back, sorry for the Covid and the job, and huge congrats on getting married! Insta-subbed because, honestly, how the hell are there not millions loving your content??
omg thank you - I am so sorry I missed your comment. Still getting used to working TH-cam from this side :P I appriciate the sub and the congratulations! Thank you so much
@@JabberwockyReacts No worries whatsoever! I completely empathize with you puzzling out TH-cam's technical side, technology always wants to be a bastard if it can! 😂
Keep doing You, and you're doing great. 😄 Let me, while I have your ear, strongly recommend a series named "The Legend of Vox Machina". Can't say enough about it, and while I respect you are probably swamped with requests, I'm patient. Put it on The Long List and get to it when you can. 🙂👍
@@landail5681 I think I've heard of that one from the ether of TH-cam - is it the show based on Critical Role's campaign??? :D Also thank you - I actually don't have a lot of requests so I can chuck it on the Not So Long list :P
@@JabberwockyReacts That is ABSOLUTELY the one based on Critical Role's first campaign! It's an absolute treat, even if you've seen the actual Critical Role streams. Treat yourself, treat us the viewing public, and be sure to remember me when you're swearing like a sailor at how good it is. 😄
@@landail5681 Awesome! I haven't actually watched Critical Role - tried to start their most recent campaign but I got too far behind and now can't catch up :(
I will 100%! Consider it on the list.
We don't make fun of anyone showing their feelings. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
I crawl up stairs but I'm afraid of falling and dying very painfully
Hi! I'm also an only child, and I believe Luisa's song gits older and younger siblings, but also us only kids who have to fit on all three roles. At least, I felt it
An Luisa is the middle child
I find really amusing that most non latino reactions always make comments about not giving coffee to children, meanwhile I distinctly remember my family being weirded out that I didn't liked coffee as a kid because it was so normal for other kids to drink it. To put into perspective, my bf has been drinking coffee since he was 3 😂
Great reaction! I'll watch more of your stuff.
Loved the reaction. I cried for us both. :-) New Subscriber.
love the bond bettween Merbel andAntonio
Merbel;s actress went into labor during waiting for a miricle
Yay! u r back :D
Hell yeah I am 💪💪

You had me laughing and reminding me of times I use to have when I had friends LOL
Subscribing and excited for more reactions!
NAAAW thank you, you’re amazing 💕 I really appreciate the support!
@@JabberwockyReacts also you might have an American twin because you look very similar to my friend 🤣 I sent her a link to your channel 💕
@@NekoMurasakiX3 that’s so kind of you honestly thank you, and you must have one super amazing beautiful friend 💪🏻💪🏻🤣🤣
I'm really liking your reactions, really discovered your channel. :) +1 subscriber!
Thank you!!! I honestly appreciate it 🥰🥰
I feel like theres so much in this movie to relate to, surface pressure gets me choked up every time. Great to see your recation :D
Hiya. Old git. Cry at the drop of a hat. Only child. Troubled family history. Loved the reaction. Love your accent/tonality. New subscriber. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Thank you!! You stay safe too, and all the best as well - one only child to another :P
powerful movie
Holy shit, you had a Sgt Schultz reference!
i
You said having super-hearing would be 'annoying'. ... It's... potentially _much_ worse than that. And you noticed how she has to know all the secrets... and that she knew Bruno was there... you're pretty close.:
th-cam.com/video/Xz2oowy5JxY/w-d-xo.html
Random question... is it a trend now to have every nail painted the same color except the ring finger...? I see that style a lot....
It’s a trend that comes and goes. I tend to do something different each time I get them done. Usually I make my middle finger the one with the glitter so it’s extra pretty when I flip people off 🤣🤣
If it is, it's been around a long time. We did it in the 90s.
Epic
I was hoping you would react to this!!!
Nawah Jabber :')
_Actually..._ it wasn't "dem fuckin' colonizers"... this movie actually deals with a very painful part of Colombian history, where political parties actually sent out bands of raiders to pillage towns populated by their political opponents! So... you know... a Disney movie!
But yeah, I love the theory that Mirabel's gift was always to be the next keeper of the miracle. Cassita only really directly interacts with two characters super actively: Aubuela and Mirabel. Beyond that, she brings out the best in everyone, and is able to connect with them in a way that isn't born of the trauma that created the Cassita. The movie really shows very well how much that trauma shaped how Aubuela led the family and the community, but it is time for the healing to move on and go from... struggling to thriving.
Is Felix and Tia pepe the first couple in Disneydom who actually seems to have a sex life?
Bold of you to assume King Triton don't FUCK. 🤣🤣 But for real, they do seem to have a great, really healthy relationship.
@@JabberwockyReacts no dout, and i'm sure he and Ursula have a juicy backstory, but he is never shown with the same kind of physical connection with anyone
Merida's parents (Brave) FOR SURE was still doing it. He even grabbed her butt!
It was most likely other Colombians, not colonizers. There is a long history of Colombiand being forced away from their living areas by opposing sides.
many people feel the house isPatro
👏👏👏👏👏
(hugs) It would be weird if you didn't want to cry for at least the last 15 minutes of the movie. As others have said, I would be wary of anyone who watches this movie and doesn't at least get a little misty-eyed. The next time you watch it sans audience (and you will want to), let yourself weep. It weirdly feels great.
I've rewatched this movie a bunch and listened to the soundtrack over and over again. And if nothing else gets me teary, then it's the end song. Right when Abuela is apologizing in song and bringing out Bruno from behind a wall and you get to see the joy on Julieta & Pepa's faces at getting to see their brother again after so many years, it always gets the waterworks going. And then when it's Antonio walking Mirabel to her door at the end of the song.. 🥹😭😭
