Its actually very subtle: her gift is the same as Abuela Alma's. She's connected to the house itself. That's why she can communicate with it, and why the house doesn't come back alive until SHE puts the doorknob in. Or, in other words, her door was the house's FRONT door!
@@hcroussette no, the house cracked bcse the family broke. The miracle keeps togheter bcse the family keeps togheter, so if the family dies the miracle dies too
Interesting fact about everyone singing their part together: there's a name for when a song does that, when the singers sing different verses at the same time, it's actually called a Madrigal! So smart of them to pay attention to this!
I think the miracle is a combination of many factors: the love energy originated from Abuelo's sacrifice, the grief from Abuela's tears spilled on the ground, Abuelo's spirit trying to save his family by becoming one with the candle, and also some divine intervention/justice (since God/saints/angels intervening when good virtuous people suffer some kind of injustice are common occurences/stories in Latino American culture and popular Catholicism. The town in wich Encanto is located on is also clearly and heavily influenced by Catholicism, as we can see with the priest and the local church)
Maybe the candle is sort of like a gnosis. Gnosism is a form of Christianity, where the gnosis is a magical filter so god can allow his magic into the world.
Candles in Colombian culture, specifically those from that particular event Abuela attends (I believe something for Mother Mary) apparently represent "wishes for loved ones". So even though they don't characterise it as such, the miracle seems to stem from both Alma and Pedro's wish to keep their family safe and happy.
personally I think Mirabel would be the next matriarch and taking Abuela's place when her time came and being the one who would have a connection with the house
That would be a great idea for a sequel whenever that comes along, and Mirabel definitely has the ambition, the courage, and the drive to take her Abuela's place as the matriarch of the Madrigal family and to be a fine leader for her family and even for the village!
Honestly, Abuela is probably my favourite character because of just how complex she is. She's such a grey character, though she's leaning more heavily to the good spectrum. She's genuinely a good person, she really does want to help her community and we can tell underneath her surface she cares for her family. But because of her trauma and loss then being given a gift, a second chance, she is so desperate not to lose it again that she ends up hurting her family. In the end, there's no more candle. The candle was born from trauma, Abuela keeping it around just shows that she hasn't completely moved on from that trauma. Then in the end, when their magic returns but there's no more candle, Abuela was finally able to move on. The gift no longer came from a traumatic memory, it now comes from the love of the family. Abuela is so complex, so well written, she ends up being such a fascinating character to analyse. Because of that, she is definitely one of my favourite characters.
This is such a perfect description of Abuela. Yes she made mistakes but I understood where she was coming from. This movie painted a beautiful picture of what people are going through and what society sees them as through different presceptives.
Righ, she was wrong but she wasn't cruel or taking her trauma out on the family, she thought she was protecting them. She lost everything and when given a second chance she thought she was ensuring her family wouldn't lose everything again. I can understand her and die to everything, that understanding brings compassion and forgiveness. She also reminds me to my own abuela 😭 and I miss her.
Yeeees!! Exactly I don't understand people that say "oh she didn't do anything she's just traumatized" and others that say "she's a evil monsters that don't deserve hapiness" like..??? Two extremes
@@lokismilinguido7262 saying those things is so damaging and insensitive it hurts. Just because it seems too late when the damage is done, does not mean they can't change. Abeula literally said sorry and admits shes in the wrong. If you don't give that a chance on her first chance then yikes.
@@lokismilinguido7262 people who say she did nothing wrong are probably the "Abuela" of their own life situations. They see the vision of keeping the family together but probably don't see the family members who are hurt or neglected along the way Alternatively, those who say she's evil are probably those very family members who were hurt or neglected. It's not as much as an extreme as it is two very specific view points of a highly emotional topic 🤷🏾♀️
I'm from Colombia and I cried since the first minute when I saw all the details about my country. Everything was so accurate: the clothes, the food, the music, the animals, the plants... I loved it! They even included a real fact: forced migration. Abuela's story is the story of thousands of colombians, who had to leave their villages because of violence. Disney made an excellent work representing Colombia in this film! 🇨🇴
I do believe that maribel is one with the house 😭😭 “we don’t talk about bruno” is like my favorite song and Dolores is my favorite character along with the Felix I just love how he cares for his wife and child Pepa and Antonio❤️🩹😂
The talk about intergenerational trauma in this movie is really real with Delores being a sort of therapist by calming everyone’s nerves by knowing everything that people say Camilo is like the jokester and calms everyone down whenever fights or anything happens with his gift Julieta is in my opinion the oldest triplet because she feels like she needs to get involved and everything to fix it as in her power fixing wounds, Peppas traumas being constantly gaslit about her emotions and never being able to really express them because if she does a hurricane thunderstorm might happen with Bruno he’s constantly used as a scapegoat for anything bad that ever happens, and Antonio even has some generational trauma with him getting a gift because the main reason I think he got a gift is because he stole all the pressure of having to use that gift and he wants to be a part of that if not he’ll be use like a scapegoat for anything bad that happens like mirabel and Bruno Louisa is the middle child but with her gift of being strong she never gets to take a break or anything she just has to keep doing what she can for the family because if she doesn’t the whole world basically cracks because she does so much .. Isabela Is constantly put to perfection with the golden child syndrome where anything she does Hass to be perfect and if she does anything bad no one believes her because she’s the golden child being the golden child like I am put a lot of pressure on you to be perfect for always never being able to be you because you know the sacrifices your family has made and you don’t want to do anything that might make those sacrifices Worth it, And Abuela also has a lot of trauma with having to raise triplets on her own and watching her own husband die in front of her at such a young impressionable age because she is around 25 and your brain is still forming at those years In conclusion there is no villain in this story Because they are all victims somehow and their gifts call align with what an actual Latin family of refugees goes through anyways I love this movie and I can really relate
The villian was generational trauma. No one talked openly. Everyone living up to expectations that abuela put on them. THAT was the villain; the silent depression.
Can we talking about Bruno being a homie? Bruno resembles his father. He's selfless, loves his family enough to separate himself from them and 'sacrifice' himself if that means that his family would be happy. Just like his father did. He was described as Seven foot frame by Camilio (shape-shifting boy) probably because he was a kid and Bruno just seemed tall to him. Plus after years of hearing bad stories about it, it probably elevated that image to about seven foot, towering, creepy man.
Honestly, I think Mirabel's gift is the magic itself (and Casita by proxy). It would make sense that her door disappears if all of Casita is already her 'room', and her "door" at her ceremony was just a way to connect her with the already existing magic in the house. There's also the fact that the house only cracks when Mirabel is experiancing emotion crisis, and it's only when she's starting to feel more distant from her family that the magic starts to faulter. When Abuela Alma places all the blame on Mirabel, she emotionally breaks which causes the house to fall apart. Plus, Luisa is the only person to fully lose her gift before Casita crumbles. After her song surface pressure, she tells Mirabel she felt weak, which implants the idea that Luisa's gift was fading. (Like Bruno joking about rain at Pepa's wedding, and then it happens because Pepa's powers go brrr) When Abuela had the magic, Casita came to life. But Mirabel is like the new torch holder, and when their home was lost- she gets to be the one to bring it back. Finally getting her own door, because her gift is the magic in the family.
The fact that they took a picture with mirabel's dad and antonio/camilo's dad who have no gift but then left out mirabel says a LOT about the family dynamic before all this.
The reconciliation scene made me cry. It's great to see someone who is old, proud and made sacrifices own up to their mistakes to someone they're supposed to be respected by, to someone who they had previously blamed for the things that went wrong. I don't see older people take responsibility often, especially in family. She did not ask forgiveness or say BUT or IF YOU HAD ONLY. She took sole responsibility and held her tongue on her pride. That's maturity to me.
Isabela’s storyline is my fave - she’s the eldest daughter & grandchild and she clearly looks the most like abuela so her entire life abuela has been trying to live vicariously through her wanting isa to have the ~perfect~ life abuela wasn’t able to! even down to the detail of mariano looking similar to abuelo pedro and abuela being so eager for the marriage proposal and what it will do for the family when isa clearly doesn’t want it.. all she wants is to live her life how she wants with no expectations
Imagine growing up in a family where everyone is gifted with sports ability or intellectual superiority or musical genius, and you are just average or your gifts disappoint everyone. That is what the story was about. Gramma unfortunately forgot that people are valuable because they are human beings, not because of what they can do. Gramma was afraid. Fear was the reason for Gram’s negative attitude towards her granddaughter and son, and when she realized this, she was able to love her Granddaughter and son again. Then everyone in the neighborhood as well as her children and grandchildren came around her in support, she received her real blessing, and the family received healing. I liked how Mirabel began to understand her Abuela Alma, and Abuela Alma did the same for Mirabel and truly missed Bruno. There was no real villain, just people who needed to learn to get along with each other and set boundaries with each other as well as accept each other for who they really were.
I think it's interesting that even though it's such a loving family full of good people. One granddaughter is having a nervous breakdown because she ties her self worth to overworking. One granddaughter is living a fake life and marrying a man she doesn't love. One son is so traumatized he knocks on wood everytime he talks. And another granddaughter is told to stay out of the way. Trauma works in ways you don't expect and they get passed down. Everyone just wants to please the grandmother that they would twist themselves into shapes for her praise.
Bruno literally disappeared to save Mirabel, because he knows how everyone would react, especially Abuela. And he didn't want her to have the same outcome as him, of being unloved and an outcast. Or even worse. This family was truly dysfunctional in the inside. But Bruno really loved his family and cared about Mirabel, even tho he didn't know her very much.
I felt like if he stayed and just not reveal the vision he could have developed a deeper relationship with her, she was kinda hated in even though he left anyways
@@WeiYinChanBruno has more love for his family than Abuela Madrigal and did what he thought was best for his family even if that means living in the walls of the family home and dining with his family every night to feel like he was 1 of them
the thing about Bruno which proves to me how amazing he is is that he doesn't just see the future, there's a whole ritual he has to do and only has visions when asked to, only for people to turn back against him when they don't like the visions. AND YET HE NEVER GOT UPSET ABOUT IT HE JUST WANTED TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY
Mirabel was the physical manifestation of Abuela's fear - that the magic was dying. If the magic was dead, this signified that she would no longer have a connection with her husband and that they would experience the same struggles of the past. Yes, she had no right to treat Mirabel that way,
I don't comment really ever but I am so genuinely impressed by how you you edit your videos and still keep the storyline intact. Not everyone can do that but you, my friend, have some skill ;)
This movie hit different for me tbh> In my interpretation I feel like the movie gave us the lesson of no matter what, we fit in somewhere and have a purpose, but it's kind of up to us to figure out how to find our way. Other than that, HOLY SCHNITZEL, the songs were so good! 10/10 on all of them. I also love the diversity in this film, I feel like everyone had their own personalities and their own relatable struggles.
The reason Abuelo took his family (and the other villagers) out of the town was because he hoped for a better future for the children. The candle represented that hope. Abuela had her hope destroyed when she saw her husband die, and the only thing that kept her going was Abuelo's hope. But she had very little of her own, so the only thing she could do was protect the candle. She didn't cultivate the hope in her children, or in her grandchildren. Gradually, Abuelo's hope wasn't enough (depression has a tendency to win in the long run). When she had so little hope for Mirabel's gift that she forced Bruno to see the future and he didn't see something clearly and obviously good, she gave up (as the song says "your fate is sealed when the prophecy is read", and a sealed fate is the antithesis of hope). Mirabel never gave up hope. She never had a gift and so Abuela never forced her to believe the gift was the only thing of worth. Even when she decided to stop 'waiting for a miracle', she had the will (and what is will but hope manifested?) to succeed at saving her family. It wasn't until Abuela destroyed that hope as well that the final magic of the encanto was broken, and the house collapsed. But when everyone else in the family had lost their magic (the only thing of value they knew), and all their hope was gone, Mirabel still had hers. And she ignited her family's hope once again, all of them, even Abuela. And when they built the new house, all of them together, and their village as well, it was the power of Mirabel's hope that recreated the encanto of the familia Madrigal, and brought their magic back. Mirabel doesn't have a gift. She is the gift.
To be for real I'd be more salty about my family leaving me out of the photo then not having powers that could do a 180 if I'm under any amount of stress
I think her gift is the house because the first thing she said before touching the candle was Casita probably saying that she loves the house and the candle didn't show it because the house was the one that got the magic
Fun facts about Encanto: Bruno's original near was supposed to be Oscar but while the writers were writing the song they thought Bruno sound better Dolores was supposed to originally have Mirabel's mom powers. Is a looked very different in another concept and she was supposed to have a secret boyfriend in that concept.
Lin Manuel Miranda Is just everything & more He literally puts his whole soul blood tears sweat etc into everything he does & makes it seems so effortlessly
Was I literally waiting for you to see this and love bruno like me ? ......yes 😂😂😂I love you lakia and much light and peace being sent from your number one south African black girl fan ❤🌈❤❤❤❤
There are two types of Encanto Reactors: those who dance to Luisa's Song because it's a bop and they be jamming And those that break down crying because they're listening to the lyrics and recognizing how tragic it is.
Quick fact : Maribel didn’t get a door because her gift is the entire house (She controls the house), so she didn’t get a door because she is the Casita. When she was angry at Abuela the Cracks came back, because he was angry. And at the end when she put on the doorknob, the house came back to life, because of her magical power of controlling the house.
how could you cut out Dolores’s part of We Don’t Talk About Bruno it’s literally my favorite part (other than when they all sing together of course) 😭 plus she’s literally singing that she knows Bruno’s still around lol
Bruno was actually supposed to have another name, but when they made the song: We don't talk about.... They thought Bruno would fit better, because of the: ''Bruno no no no. ''' - So they changed it.
Yeah, I watched this and I knew I’d seen his name before but I didn’t remember where. Then I looked him up and “oh, he’s the Hamilton guy? No *wonder* all the songs had more layers than a baklava.”
you've become my fav channel recently with your shadow & bone, ginny & georgia and outer banks reactions and ive been going back and watching old videos from you and i am absolutelyyyy loving ittttt ahh. you're amazing !
YOU HAD ME CRACKING UP the ENTIRE VIDEO! I've seen so many of these reactions but you're one of the only ones that make me feel like im watching a completely different movie.
i feel bad for bruno..i mean he saw maribel in that vision when she was 5 and left now shes about 15 he has been hiding in the walls for 10 years...(at least thats how i think it went)
This reminds me of alot things I have seen in my own life with family. Honestly, this is very beautiful example of reconcilation, healing and forgiveness. False image of perfection is the worse.....because 9 times out of ten you can't face your own flaws. When everyone is okay to be imperfect with one another and just love, thats where the blessing comes/ miracle. That's what I got out of it.
My favourite theory is that Maribel is connected with the house, maybe taking her Adbuela's place in the future. But I will say... there's also a theory that the reason Maribel didn't get her gift was because she wiped her hands before touching the door handle. It makes sense but it feels so stupid lmao
3:35 "She's a muggle" lmaoooooo why is this so hilarious🤣 but yeah, she is and why I didn't think about it even once, I've watched encanto like 5 times?😂
The thing that gets to me is that the Abuela wasn't even wrong - she did her best, tried to make sure her family was using their gifts for the benefit of the town, that they remained worthy of the miracle they were given and stayed safe. Her problem was exactly as she said - pushing perfection too much, losing sight of WHO the miracle was for 😭
I love the contrast between when Abuela tells child mirabel the story of how the miracle came to be and then at the end when Mirabel is old enough to understand the trauma that birthed their miracle. As soon as Abuelo sacrifices himself and the miracle is born, we see the entire rest of the town looking to Abuela for guidance. She was JUST widowed with her triplets and she has an entire community looking towards her. She never had a chance to process her trauma and Mirabel not getting a gift seemed to have brought her trauma back to the surface.
Hope you get to react to _Raya and the Last Dragon_ whenever you have the opportunity along with the following Disney and Pixar films: _Toy Story 1-4, Finding Nemo, A Bug's Life, Ratatouille, Wall-E, Inside Out, The Incredibles 1-2,_ _Frozen 1-2, Zootopia, Moana, The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Aladdin, Lilo & Stitch, The Princess and the Frog,_ and _Beauty and the Beast_
I love that the family picture at the beginning is super posed and perfect, and the one at the end is messy but real. Also, Maribel getting a gift at the end would have been kind of a cop-out storytelling-wise
Its actually very subtle: her gift is the same as Abuela Alma's. She's connected to the house itself. That's why she can communicate with it, and why the house doesn't come back alive until SHE puts the doorknob in.
Or, in other words, her door was the house's FRONT door!
Ahh I see that
also why the house started cracking when Mirabel started feeling upset
@@hcroussette no, the house cracked bcse the family broke. The miracle keeps togheter bcse the family keeps togheter, so if the family dies the miracle dies too
@@nuggetsplace8273 but the house starts to crack while the family is happy celebrating Antonio's gift and the only one who is upset is Maribel
@@hcroussette yet the only one seeing it is mirabel. the house hasn't actually broken yet.
the way every song in this is a 10/10… especially the end of we don’t talk about bruno when everyone was singing their parts together!
Yasss 👌🏾
That is my favorite part of that ENTIRE song!
Interesting fact about everyone singing their part together: there's a name for when a song does that, when the singers sing different verses at the same time, it's actually called a Madrigal! So smart of them to pay attention to this!

So even though they don't characterise it as such, the miracle seems to stem from both Alma and Pedro's wish to keep their family safe and happy.
If we're theorizing, then it's worth mentioning that the miracle happened both times at same spot in the river.
personally I think Mirabel would be the next matriarch and taking Abuela's place when her time came and being the one who would have a connection with the house
That makes sense
That would be a great idea for a sequel whenever that comes along, and Mirabel definitely has the ambition, the courage, and the drive to take her Abuela's place as the matriarch of the Madrigal family and to be a fine leader for her family and even for the village!

They even heavily imply that Abuela Alma's story took place during the real "1000 Days War", so they REALLY went all-in on their research.
I do believe that maribel is one with the house 😭😭 “we don’t talk about bruno” is like my favorite song and Dolores is my favorite character along with the Felix I just love how he cares for his wife and child Pepa and Antonio❤️🩹😂
Yessss I love delores
Sameeeeee
You and I literally are the same on everything
We don’t talk about Bruno is my favorite as well. Dolores is definitely my favorite also.

And Abuela also has a lot of trauma with having to raise triplets on her own and watching her own husband die in front of her at such a young impressionable age because she is around 25 and your brain is still forming at those years
In conclusion there is no villain in this story Because they are all victims somehow and their gifts call align with what an actual Latin family of refugees goes through anyways I love this movie and I can really relate
Also to add with Camilo he loses a sense of who he actually is because he forms into whatever they need him to be physically and metaphorically
The best part that was good about this movie is that there was no villain which was surprising cause Disney always has these weird and iconic villains
right? I think its cool to see a very realistic plot in a fantasy story.

the part where they showed bruno having his on plate painted to eat with the fam had me crying my eyes out
“You know, whatever he has to do to cope” I felt that 💀😂
i think your gift is hyping mirabel up when she has no gift😭
Lol I’m dying 😂
2:41 and 8:54 Awww I just melted. Haha gorgeous indeed! Isabela and Dolores deserve all the love and acceptance in the world!
Bruno literally disappeared to save Mirabel, because he knows how everyone would react, especially Abuela. And he didn't want her to have the same outcome as him, of being unloved and an outcast. Or even worse.
This family was truly dysfunctional in the inside. But Bruno really loved his family and cared about Mirabel, even tho he didn't know her very much.
I felt like if he stayed and just not reveal the vision he could have developed a deeper relationship with her, she was kinda hated in even though he left anyways
@@WeiYinChanBruno has more love for his family than Abuela Madrigal and did what he thought was best for his family even if that means living in the walls of the family home and dining with his family every night to feel like he was 1 of them
The “because you’re a muggle?! wHy?” KILLED ME
my favorite part of the whole damn film is the dinner scene. that is ABSOLUTELY how rumors spread in our family lmao
the thing about Bruno which proves to me how amazing he is is that he doesn't just see the future, there's a whole ritual he has to do and only has visions when asked to, only for people to turn back against him when they don't like the visions. AND YET HE NEVER GOT UPSET ABOUT IT HE JUST WANTED TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY
Mirabel was the physical manifestation of Abuela's fear - that the magic was dying. If the magic was dead, this signified that she would no longer have a connection with her husband and that they would experience the same struggles of the past. Yes, she had no right to treat Mirabel that way,
I saw this movie three times and still cried at the “he gave me you” line. 😭😭😭
I don't comment really ever but I am so genuinely impressed by how you you edit your videos and still keep the storyline intact. Not everyone can do that but you, my friend, have some skill ;)
Thank you 😊
We don’t talk about Bruno is one of the best Disney songs I’ve ever heard
Abuela's gift is literally gaslighting that woman did Mirabel DIRTY
Dolores Antonio mirabel and Luisa and Bruno and Isabella carried the whole movie on there shoulder
Carried…💪🏾
Camilo is punching the air rn
@@Mari17897 HE ATE HIS LINE IN WE DON’T TALK ABOUT BRUNO THO
I hope she at least got her own room in the new house, before she was sleeping in the nursery.
This movie hit different for me tbh>
In my interpretation I feel like the movie gave us the lesson of no matter what, we fit in somewhere and have a purpose, but it's kind of up to us to figure out how to find our way.
Other than that, HOLY SCHNITZEL, the songs were so good! 10/10 on all of them. I also love the diversity in this film, I feel like everyone had their own personalities and their own relatable struggles.
The reason Abuelo took his family (and the other villagers) out of the town was because he hoped for a better future for the children. The candle represented that hope. Abuela had her hope destroyed when she saw her husband die, and the only thing that kept her going was Abuelo's hope. But she had very little of her own, so the only thing she could do was protect the candle. She didn't cultivate the hope in her children, or in her grandchildren. Gradually, Abuelo's hope wasn't enough (depression has a tendency to win in the long run). When she had so little hope for Mirabel's gift that she forced Bruno to see the future and he didn't see something clearly and obviously good, she gave up (as the song says "your fate is sealed when the prophecy is read", and a sealed fate is the antithesis of hope).
Mirabel never gave up hope. She never had a gift and so Abuela never forced her to believe the gift was the only thing of worth. Even when she decided to stop 'waiting for a miracle', she had the will (and what is will but hope manifested?) to succeed at saving her family. It wasn't until Abuela destroyed that hope as well that the final magic of the encanto was broken, and the house collapsed. But when everyone else in the family had lost their magic (the only thing of value they knew), and all their hope was gone, Mirabel still had hers. And she ignited her family's hope once again, all of them, even Abuela. And when they built the new house, all of them together, and their village as well, it was the power of Mirabel's hope that recreated the encanto of the familia Madrigal, and brought their magic back. Mirabel doesn't have a gift. She is the gift.
…da dang 😮 this is a very long paragraph😂 but this is a VERY good theory :)
I love how you speak in first person for Mirabel sometimes haha, its so fun
We don't talk about Bruno, but we do sing about him
Omg the fact that Dolores can hear Luisa's eye twitching all night means she can hear everything... _everything_ 😳
To be for real I'd be more salty about my family leaving me out of the photo then not having powers that could do a 180 if I'm under any amount of stress
Right
I think her gift is the house because the first thing she said before touching the candle was Casita probably saying that she loves the house and the candle didn't show it because the house was the one that got the magic
Fun facts about Encanto:
Bruno's original near was supposed to be Oscar but while the writers were writing the song they thought Bruno sound better
Dolores was supposed to originally have Mirabel's mom powers.
Is a looked very different in another concept and she was supposed to have a secret boyfriend in that concept.
Lin Manuel Miranda
Is just everything & more
He literally puts his whole soul blood tears sweat etc into everything he does & makes it seems so effortlessly
Bruno did not deserve this fr fr like his gift didn’t help but Delores just can hear everything still love Delores
IDGAF whether Mirabel gets a power, tbh. I just want her to have a ROOM! The very IDEA that she can't have her own BEDROOM - just - AUGH!
I am OBSESSED with this movie, I just can’t get enough and I love that you reviewed it because you’re my favorite movie commentator.
The fact that you and billy reacted to this movie on the same day just made my day(no pun intended lol 😂)
🤣🤣I just finished watching Billy's video and immediately came to Lakia's
Was I literally waiting for you to see this and love bruno like me ? ......yes 😂😂😂I love you lakia and much light and peace being sent from your number one south African black girl fan ❤🌈❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰
There are two types of Encanto Reactors: those who dance to Luisa's Song because it's a bop and they be jamming
And those that break down crying because they're listening to the lyrics and recognizing how tragic it is.
Quick fact : Maribel didn’t get a door because her gift is the entire house (She controls the house), so she didn’t get a door because she is the Casita. When she was angry at Abuela the Cracks came back, because he was angry. And at the end when she put on the doorknob, the house came back to life, because of her magical power of controlling the house.
I actually love how Bruno was supposed to be called Oscar but they changed it simply because of the line "We don't talk about Bruno-no-no-no" lmao😂
camilo bruno and pepa r so UNDERRATED. my absolute favs besides antonio
how could you cut out Dolores’s part of We Don’t Talk About Bruno it’s literally my favorite part (other than when they all sing together of course) 😭 plus she’s literally singing that she knows Bruno’s still around lol
Sorry 🥲
@@LakiaJaiTV it’s ok I forgive you
Bruno was actually supposed to have another name, but when they made the song: We don't talk about.... They thought Bruno would fit better, because of the: ''Bruno no no no. ''' - So they changed it.
I absolutely LOVE this movie.
Tysm for reacting to this movie 💖
I am so happy you watched this movie, I think it's one of my favorite Disney movies. I adore Bruno and Dolores.
I believe Mirabel would be the next matriarch/protector of the candle
Omg i literally screamed when I got the notification
🤭 thank you
Lakia: Such a cute love story!
Disney: Remember those first few minutes from Up... Let's do that again!
i just finished watching encanto !!!! the timing of this video is ✨impeccable✨
also lin-manuel miranda’s music came throughhh, he never misses tbh
Yeah, I watched this and I knew I’d seen his name before but I didn’t remember where. Then I looked him up and “oh, he’s the Hamilton guy? No *wonder* all the songs had more layers than a baklava.”
"Maybe her gift is singing," haha eveyone sings. That was funny
you've become my fav channel recently with your shadow & bone, ginny & georgia and outer banks reactions and ive been going back and watching old videos from you and i am absolutelyyyy loving ittttt ahh. you're amazing !
I live for you giving up on saving the family after seeing how many stairs you'd have to climb in Bruno's room
11:27 yup
12:48 HUHUHUHUHUUHUHAHAHAHA *sobbing*
17:52 lol
20:38 ISABELA IS OBSESSED
YOU HAD ME CRACKING UP the ENTIRE VIDEO! I've seen so many of these reactions but you're one of the only ones that make me feel like im watching a completely different movie.
I always thought that this movie is what happens if you took Umbrella Academy and made it a Hispanic Musical with a happy ending
Lol
“And if you don’t believe in god hi sir there”💀💀💀 that took me out
i feel bad for bruno..i mean he saw maribel in that vision when she was 5 and left now shes about 15 he has been hiding in the walls for 10 years...(at least thats how i think it went)
You was trying so hard to give Mirabel some type of gift!! 🤣🤣🤣😂
Lol I know
This reminds me of alot things I have seen in my own life with family. Honestly, this is very beautiful example of reconcilation, healing and forgiveness. False image of perfection is the worse.....because 9 times out of ten you can't face your own flaws. When everyone is okay to be imperfect with one another and just love, thats where the blessing comes/ miracle. That's what I got out of it.
My favourite theory is that Maribel is connected with the house, maybe taking her Adbuela's place in the future. But I will say... there's also a theory that the reason Maribel didn't get her gift was because she wiped her hands before touching the door handle. It makes sense but it feels so stupid lmao
You're so cute!! I love how you call her muggle. Surface pressure is my fave, mostly because of how relatable it is for me.
YAY! You're watching my favorite movie!
Amen girl! Praise God for another year!!💯💯
2:11
It's Spanish for " charm"
That montage at 1:57 SENT. ME. The editing in your videos is the best!
“Anddd... where’s yours sir?”🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣👌🏽
3:35 "She's a muggle" lmaoooooo why is this so hilarious🤣 but yeah, she is and why I didn't think about it even once, I've watched encanto like 5 times?😂
I LOVE YOU LITERALLY UR SO NICEEEE AND U LEAVE BIBLE VERSES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN LIKE AHHHHH U MAKE ME SO HAPPY OMLLLL
YOUR FACE AT 13:28 HAD ME CRYINGGGG
7:11 im crying 😭😭
You are literally the only one who realizes mirabels mom and sister and brother are triplets. Thank you for paying attention loll love ya
"What can I do? Idk, but y'all can't do it." I DIED LOOL
The thing that gets to me is that the Abuela wasn't even wrong - she did her best, tried to make sure her family was using their gifts for the benefit of the town, that they remained worthy of the miracle they were given and stayed safe. Her problem was exactly as she said - pushing perfection too much, losing sight of WHO the miracle was for 😭
LOL I LOVE THE TITLE
2:56 YO I remember that show! I even remember that they made a crossover with Sofia The First!
you dead wrong for that edit with the empty boxes at the beginning lmaoo
After all the Bruno abuse Disney better have a princess named Bruno! Bruno can be a princess if they want.
I love the contrast between when Abuela tells child mirabel the story of how the miracle came to be and then at the end when Mirabel is old enough to understand the trauma that birthed their miracle. As soon as Abuelo sacrifices himself and the miracle is born, we see the entire rest of the town looking to Abuela for guidance. She was JUST widowed with her triplets and she has an entire community looking towards her. She never had a chance to process her trauma and Mirabel not getting a gift seemed to have brought her trauma back to the surface.
Hope you get to react to _Raya and the Last Dragon_ whenever you have the opportunity along with the following Disney and Pixar films: _Toy Story 1-4, Finding Nemo, A Bug's Life, Ratatouille, Wall-E, Inside Out, The Incredibles 1-2,_ _Frozen 1-2, Zootopia, Moana, The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Aladdin, Lilo & Stitch, The Princess and the Frog,_ and _Beauty and the Beast_
i woulda been so salty not gettin powers lmao
Amé tu reacción, morí de la risa lol
I love how the movie show more of the colombiam culture and represents a lot Brazil too 🇧🇷 ❤
Camilo: SEVEN FOOT FRAME-
bruno in one scene: Bye
Camilo: We totally underestimated him..
literally subbed in the first 5 seconds of the vid, your energy is unmatched
I love that the family picture at the beginning is super posed and perfect, and the one at the end is messy but real. Also, Maribel getting a gift at the end would have been kind of a cop-out storytelling-wise
