I’m Colombian and in my mid forties. To see such representation of fair and dark skinned Colombianos including the biodiversity of plants and animals native to the country just made me thrilled beyond words. All the voice actors killed it but I really liked John Leguizamo’s performance as Bruno. My mom passed away last year and she was such an amazing cook. To see people eating buñelos and arepas in brief moments in the movie brought tears to my eyes. I hope this wins some awards . Great reaction Seb…and good job on rolling the r’s.👍🏼 Happy New Year!
@@mobs_killer7175 I had a bad experience when I first saw this and it was wrong of me to vent here when it really had nothing to do with his reaction. I am sorry, I will learn from this.
I'm off African background, and reading your comment made me smile . Representation is so very important, and it's even better when it's fine WELL. I loved how this film discussed intergenerational trauma and healing. Just beautiful
Im also Colombian and this Movie really made me happy because any representation about Colombia is either about Pablo Escobar or it’s a Movie made by Colombia, which to be fair I don’t really like and I normally ain’t to big on Disney or Musicals but this movie I love
When you mentioned movies about Colombia by Colombia I knew exactly what you meant 😂 and yes, if one more person recommends for me to watch Narcos …🤦🏽♀️ I love Pedro Pascal as much as the next person so I recommend the sci-fi movie Prospect that he’s in.
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!
@@Depths17 I think it'd because she was supposed to inherit Abuela Alma's role but she want ready yet as a kid. (And LBR even grown up Abuela wasn't ready to give up that power)
9:27 "She's got such a good voice!" Yeah, she does! Can you ever imagine she was on Brooklyn 99? PLUS, when Stephanie Beatriz, Mirabel's VA, was called to record this song during the pandemic, she was 9 months pregnant and had gone into labor that morning. She was having contractions DURING the recording but didn't tell anyone bc she didn't want anyone to freak out. Less than 48 hours later, her daughter was born. She recorded "Waiting On a Miracle" while waiting for her miracle to arrive!
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.
I believe Camilo is just teasing her. Camilo and Mirabel both canonically share the age of fifteen, so they would probably have pretty similar image in their heads of what Bruno was/is like. Yeah, Bruno is clearly taller than a five-year-old (how old Mirabel and Camilo would have been when Bruno disappeared), but I don't think Camilo would really think Bruno has a "7-foot frame". Surely they both had seen him interacting with the other adults.
@@TheRawrnstuff I took it more so that since they were both only 5...their memories of their Uncle have been tainted by 10 years of superstition and spooky stories. So Camilo is telling her his rendition of their Uncle...which paints him as a creepy dream eating monster.
One thing that someone mentioned and I can’t stop thinking about is, when Abuela is telling the story of Pedro. The version from when Mirabel is younger it’s very censored for a child, but the one when she is older shows how much anguish and pain was felt. Abuela’s reaction is very different in each one
To me the message was "Don't let your talent be the only thing that defines you." The point isn't "Having a special talent is bad and will make you unhappy." And I found that very refreshing. So many movies these days end up with the characters losing their powers, and I get it the message is "You are just as important without a special ability." But it mostly comes across as "Be happy to be ordinary, having anything special about you will just ruin your life." with it being repeated so many times. I loved this ending
Maribel's gift is empathy. She takes care of the family, make sure that everyone's well and feeling loved and that the house and the magic are safe. All of those things, Casita couldn't give her that gift, because she naturally had them. Also, she's like her grandmother and is most likely to become the new matriarch of the family.
encanto is my new comfort movie, it just hits home. also the soundtrack is sooo amazing, i'm obssesed with no se habla de bruno (we don't talk about bruno, but it's the spanish version)
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.
@@a.g.demada5263 is about what tells the movie in that part with the song as well. The armed conflict and the forced displacement of the madrigal family, represents what colombians went through at that time and how the wounds caused by that conflict continue healing! 💖
Camilo and Dolores are my favorite characters. The girl who gets all the gossip and T dropped on her even if she does want it and the teenage boy with a major identity crisis, it’s like they wrote those characters just for me. 😂 This film was therapy for everyone who grew up having to deal with inter generational trauma and toxic families.
Also, notice the butterfly symbolism: they’re stitched into Mirabel’s dress, and the she’s added a few more in colour herself. They’re stitched at the bottom of the Abuela’s black shawl-almost like a mourning shawl. And a butterfly is on the candle itself. The reconciliation song is about them growing up ‘out of their chrysalis’ (I.e. beyond the generational trauma (Abuela) and unhealthy expectations (Louisa, Isabela, Bruno)). Mirabel’s gift is to reunite the family by exposing the underlying weakness (cracks in the house) and bringing them together to make them whole again (one front door for everyone, rather than isolated doors).
the movie is about generational trauma in latino families, each of their gifts represent the role each family member plays in the family Abuela is the matriarch Julieta's healing power represents her being the one who picks up the pieces in the family Pepa's weather power represents her emotions, how they affect the family and how the family influence them Isabela is the perfect golden child, has to marry for status and to preserve the family Luisa is the eldest sister, carrying family problems on her back, resulting in pressure, stress and anxiety she wishes to break free from Dolores could be interpreted as the nosey cousin who knows everything about everyone, representing a family member who knows everyone's problems yet must keep quiet about all of them Camilo's shape shifting to me represents him being a people pleaser, changing himself according to the person or situation Bruno is the outcast, the one who doesn't typically agree with the family values, the black sheep, representing the same thing in latino families, that one relative who was exiled and we're not allowed to talk about (we see this with Hector in Coco too) Some people see Abuela as the villan. The reality is, she herself has suffered from trauma, having been chased out of her home from colonizers who also brutally murdered her husband in front of her. She had to raise triplets and make a home all by herself. Everything she did was to ensure her family would never have to go through that again, but, as is common in almost every latino household, this resulted in an insane amount of trauma, pressure, and expectations on the younger generations. The ending symbolizes breaking down that generational trauma (the broken house) and building a new foundation based on love and acceptance of every family member as they come.
"Villain" is not the term I would use for Abuela. I think the more fitting term is "Antagonist" because even loved ones can be the obstacle in the way of happiness without even realizing it due to how life has worked up until the problems become prominent.
" The reality is, she herself has suffered from trauma, having been chased out of her home from colonizers who also brutally murdered her husband in front of her. " IIRC, the events portrayed causing them to flee are part of La Violencia....just going t show how terrible Civil War can be. Since they're being killed by their own neighbors.
I'm brazilian and i think that even if you're not Colombian, you can relate to Encanto because generational trauma is such a problem no matter what latino country you come from. My family lives all together like the Madrigal family, we have to deal with this things in a daily baises. It can be a lot. Even tho family is important in any part of the world, it doesn't seem to have the same weight like it have for us. That's why non latinos seem to have a more difficult time understanding that the plot is not really about Mirabel having a gift or not. We can all relate the characters to someone in our family because we see this happening everyday.
I interpret camilo as being a child forced to act as an adult by having too many responsibilities placed on him. This is exemplified by the fact that when everything starts falling apart he regresses to a baby, a thing some people traumatised into acting as an adult too early often do throughout life
I love the the different families represent different triads. Abuelta's children represent the Past (Julieta's healing is repairing past mistakes), Present (Pepa's emotions are what she is feeling at the moment), the Bruno's visions of the Future. Also, Pepa's children represent the senses: Delores' Hearing, Sight (Camilio's shapeshifting allows him to be seen in different ways) and Antonio's Speaking with animals. This also represents the See, Hear, Speak no evil. Maribel and her sisters represent Mind (Isabela always being concerned what others think about her being "perfect"...and how her power grows when she doesn't), Luisa's Body which means Maribel represents the Spirit.
I'm not ashamed to admit that, when the trailer came out, I wanted to watch this film for Luisa because I'm 100% a simp for a strong buff woman. HOWEVER the fact it's Colombian, has diverse characters with emotional struggles that weren't turned into jokes, and is about discussing and acknowledging generational trauma makes this film so so important. So happy you enjoyed and reacted!! Luisa stayed my favourite honestly (thank you middle child overcompensation complex that hit me wayyy too hard) and I've genuinely played Waiting On A Miracle every day for a week at least once.
You are the first reactor I have seen that understood the house and town were her "door" upon first watch. Everyone else thinks she got powers or restored the powers. She is meant to be the next "Abuela". That's why she didn't get a door inside the house as a child.
I have been watching Encanto on repeat for days And just been singing all the songs on repeat especially "we don't talk about Bruno". Encanto is awesome and has such a beautiful lesson...the miracle is YOU not some gift just you and I love that. But it wasn't about not having gifts, it was about showing that the gifts aren't all they are. That's why Mirabel got none but now Mirabel is like the candle, even though she had no gift she is what holds the family together. The miracle wasn't the candle, it was the love for not just the gifts but the person behind the gift. Or at least that's how I see it.
Everyone says that Mirabelle‘s gift is empathy and connecting to the house, and while I agree, I think her real gift is getting people to open up to her through song 😂
18:07 If you didn't recognize this scream, Seb, the other character you've heard scream/yelp like that has a HEAVY lisp, ends up being the butt of the joke from his prehistoric friends, walks on two feet, and has large finger-like claws... and a LOT of space between his eyes. It's Sid the Sloth! John Leguizamo voices both of them.
This movie is amazing, I’ve watched it so many times in a very short amount of time already, it’s a new comfort movie. Seeing how I grew up in a family with immigrant parents who always thought they were doing the right thing and never apologised for the mistakes they made (unlike Mirabel‘s abuela), I related to Mirabel and Bruno sm. It makes me cry sm bc the intergenerational trauma is smth I know myself as well and this movie is all about healing this very trauma and to be the one to break the cycle.
I've seen this 3 times now in 1 week. I love it. No villain, just family and love. My daughter has just seen it with me and loves it too. Great reaction
My partner watched this the day it came out and I woke up from a nap at the credits. It was really cute how he rewatched it with his eyes on me the entire time during my first watch.
For me Louisa’s song at first was good fun and a great tune but then the message behind it and the emotions just make it so phenomenal, it’s my favourite moment in the film and she is my favourite character
Capybaras are the most chill animals on the planet. They will calmly hang out with... loads of other animals. Seriously, do some image searches for 'capybara with other animals'
I wish we could have seen at least a brief glimpse of every family member's room, or that there will be a sequel for us to see them. It would hv been cool to see Luisa's room early in the film (maybe w/ everything made of stone/ focused on her strength like the concept design), & then see Luisa's, Bruno's & Isabela's rooms *after* Casita is rebuilt, getting to see how they've changed w/ the new family dynamics, (I.e. Luisa given space to relax, & Isa having ALL kinds of plants, Mirabel hving her own room, etc)
Did you know? In the song 'We don't talk about Bruno' everyone say's mean stuff about him all but one. The one is Dolorous since she has super hearing so she must off heard Bruno and everything. Bonus! But this also could lead to her being the villian if she could hear Bruno why didn't she told her family? If she did the family and Bruno could be back as a family!! And not going through house crashing and all that!!
And that’s why I love it! It’s like movies that have a redeemable villain, and I love that plot! (Sometimes) I also watched Wish, and it was better than what I expected! I thought Magnifico was gonna turn good!
9:00 she has a power! She can freeze time!!! Also Mirabel didn’t get a power because she wiped her hand on her dress, and the one who hears everything anywhere near her heard the cracks
You might be the only person who reacted by saying that it might not be such a terrible thing if Antonio didn't get a gift b/c it would mean that A) Mirabel wasn't the only one w/o a gift and B) that it's not terrible that you didn't have a gift. All the other reactions I've seen were relieved when Antonio got his power. Thanks for this reaction~
As a Latina, this movie made me feel so seen and actually having Latino representation outside of Mexico is so refreshing as well, I'm not Colombian but my environment is really similiar to the one shown in this movie so I really aprecciate it. Thanks for the reaction btw ^^
I assume Mirabel's powers are in line with the grandmother's- a connection to the miracle itself, the house, and the protected place they live (perhaps hinting she'll eventually be stepping into the grandmother's family role when Abuela passes) My favorite character is Bruno, I feel like I have a lot in common with him as someone misunderstood. I'm a very practical, pragmatic woman so sometimes I give advice to my friends & family or "predict" consequences of someone's actions that seem like common sense to me, but it sometimes gets mistaken as me not caring about their feelings or wishing those things would happen. Like warning a cousin taking back a cheating bf that "once a cheater, always a cheater." First I get accused of being insensitive towards her heartbreak for being cheated on, then a couple months later when he does cheat again I get accused of having wanted that to happen even though I was trying my best to warn her against taking him back at all. Yeah, definitely feeling the Bruno character.
I cried when I saw this in the theater. I cried even harder the second time I saw it at home. Such a good movie. As the oldest of 3 girls in a military family, I relate so much to Isabella and Luisa, expected to be strong and perfect and how that can just completely overwhelm anyone. I honestly cannot choose a favorite character, I love them all! Yes, even Abuela.
My favorite character is definitely Casita, though the most relateable to me would be Pepa (The nervous wreck) or Luisa (The one who has to be strong) Ik, kind of a contradiction
There's an interesting Reddit theory I love that points out that each group of siblings & powers are divided into threes, i.e.: Julieta, Pepa, & Bruno - powers are based on the past, present, & future. * Julieta cures wounds created in the past * Pepa changes the weather in the present * Bruno predicts the future Dolores, Camilo, & Antonio - powers are based on the sayings hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil. * Dolores has super hearing powers * Camilo can take on anyone’s appearance * Antonio can understand animals Isabela, Luisa, & Mirabel - powers are based on beauty, brawn, & brain. * Isabela produces beautiful plants * Luisa is so strong that she can move buildings * Mirabel doesn’t have powers like the rest, but she’s the brain that pieces everything together
Im ok with them getting their gifts back. We came full circle. Before they had so much pressure on them, but now they dont, and now they can be an actual happy magical family
25:33 If no one had noticed yet, all the Madrigals with a Gift had a door; everyone except the husbands and I think Abuela, and of course Mirabel. The images of them on their doors, and now the big family portrait front door, all have their eyes closed. But Mirabel's eyes on this new for are the only ones that are upturned/smiling instead of downturned/relaxed. Many fans have speculated that she didn't get a "Gift" like her family did because she was destined to be the next matriarch/leader of the family and household like Abuela is. She didn't get Marvel-level superpowers because her power was the hidden ability to stop the family's cycle of generational trauma, and then finally bring the family together again to remind them what the Gift really is: Abuelo's sacrificial desire to keep them safe and happy. This idea is further reinforced by Mirabel being in the front and center of the portrait, plus she was the one who put the doorknob in and gave the magic back to Casita, therefore giving everyone's Gifts back. I think her actual magic just lay dormant all those years so she could return it once the family learned their lesson; and she didn't need superpowers to be who she was, anyway.
"Why did the door close for her?" Because Mirabel already had her door. It was the front door of casita. Notice that when Mirabel touched the candle the flame turned into Abuela. She's the next keeper of the Miracle.
Lin Manuel Miranda did the songs for this movie. Probably best known for Hamilton (which I would reccommend - also on Disney Plus). If you want more I would also suggest "In the Heights" another Lin Manuel Miranda musical as well as "Tick Tick Boom". Music is by Jonathan Larson but Lin directed the film.
I was shocked to find out Rosa from Brooklyn 99 is the voice of Mirabel 😅. Also I have a headcanon that Dolores may have made up the part about 5 babies to try and dissuade Isabella from accepting the proposal.
I must say, I’ve never cried while watching a Disney movie (almost during the Lion King but not completely) but this movie was so good and emotional (I think we all do have some similar problems in our own families, for me it’s my grandma for who I will never be good enough like my sister even tho I try to be here for her more often). Plus the cinematography, songs and great characters make it easily one of my 3 most favorite Disney movies (and defenetly the best Disney movie from this century).
If you go back to ,,We don't talk about Bruno song" during Dolores part, she actually hints that she knows that Bruno is in the house and doesn't talk bad about him. Also in same part when Dorores is singing there for Mirabel, you can actually see Bruno walking in the background of ground floor and then on first floor. He was even vibing there with song about him, swinging his head to music.
why he said that mirabel was gonna get cast out by her mom i think he got abuela confused with her mother; mirabel moms is the one that heals people with food and her abuela is the old lady in magenta.
The cool thing about Dolores. She knew Bruno was still around and she most likely gave him food and stuff. :) do many small details like that you need to think about too. My favorite characters were Bruno, Isabella and Maribel and her parents. :)
i thought her gift was seeing things in others they couldn't see in themselves. if you rewatch the movie, take note of every time you hear the word "see", it's almost always connected to mirabel. she's also the only one with glasses. I originally thought it could also be connected to her name as Mirar (conjugated to mira) can mean "to watch" in Spanish, but Mirabel actually means "wonderous"
The story for me us less about "you're fine without your gifts" and more about "you are more than what you have to offer others". Luisa was stressed out of her mind worrying that she'd have to carry every family and village berdan for the rest of her life, Isabella was always trying to be perfect to uphold the family's stature in the community, Julietta was constantly cooking enough food every day to feed an entire village worth of sick and injured and Pepa had to have constant and complete control over her emotions go help the community as well. They were existing only to keep other people happy and not just living for themselves, which is a sad way to be. Allowing that generational trauma to be broken and showing everyone the way back to the lives they deserve is Mirabel's true gift 🥰 I have no doubt that if they make a second film it's going to be about her becoming the new family matriarch
What a great reaction! I genuinely loved Mirebel, she was so sad and yet still tried to live up to the family expectation (as did everyone) and I think she did it in a positive manner and from her heart and I love that.
I love this one, the capibara is my favourite character. I already know how to play all of the songs and they are stuck in my head ever since i watched the movie. I do agree that in a better ending they wouldn't have gotten their gifts back, but that is my only complaint
This is the theory that Maribel has the same Don as the grandmother, to deliver gifts and communicate with the house, in addition to keeping the family together, she did not receive her door as a child because perhaps the grandmother saw it more as a duty, more than from the heart, so it was because of the grandmother, while with the cousin, as Maribel believed in him, he gave him the gift, apart from the fact that the candle represented how fragile the miracle of the grandmother was, while in the end the miracle of Mirabel is represented with the Door, which comes to indicate that it is strong, for the next generations of the Door, which comes to indicate that it is strong, for the next generations of the family, well all that is theory, but it is nice to think that 💜
Finally got Disney+ over in my country, so I can go back to all the Disney reactions I've not seen before, thrilled! This was such a lovely, colourful story.
Stephanie Beatriz was actually in labour while recording "Waiting on a Miracle" but at first she didn't know, then once she realized she was in the middle of recording and didn't want to panic anyone, so didn't say anything.
my family and i are absolutely *in love* with this movie and the soundtrack during christmas and new years the only songs we played were off the soundtrack lol happy new year seb
Kinda wanted to see more of you reaction of the Dos Oruguitas song as well as what happens in that part but also kind of happy you didn't because I cry every time that part comes on.
Julieta(mirabel’s mom) was my favorite character. I loved how supportive and positive she was towards Mirabel. She was the only one who believed she was special even when Mirabel didn’t believe it.
Favorite character… Luisa. As a Mexican American who takes care of her father… I’m expected to do all for my father. My child followed her dreams and is working where she dreamed of as a child, half way across the country. I take care of my dad while I get help from a few of my four siblings and a single nephew out of his many grandchildren. Luisa has to take on the pressure of family and it’s expected by all of those around her…
honestly my favorite character is camilo. there’s so much unexplored potential with his character and i’d love to see a sequel about him. he’s a teenage boy who is trying to find himself and grow up and there could be a lot of topics discussed in his storyline that disney has never tackled
This movie has a beautiful message that everyone is special, no matter what. As a Latin American guy, I'm happy to see this movie getting so much attention. I love how well they've mixed English and Spanish here. Even though I'm not Colombian, this movie made me so happy with its representation. And I can see in other comments that Colombian people is proud with it so that is something well-made.
Seb, sure someone pointed it out; but Doloros outright talks about the fact that she hears him during "we dont talk about Bruno" and than further confirms it at the finale about "[she] heard it every day".
i got to watch it yesterday and just cried at the first 20 minutes when mirabel didn't got into the photo. idk if it is because of the maternal relationship pictured or bc i'm a latina, but this movie got me feeling things
One thing that few people noticed is that when Mirabel is standing in front of Abuela who is holding the candle, she offers her the candle for Mirabel to touch and proceeds to touch the doorknob that would be hers, but before touching the doorknob, Mirabel passes her hands over her own clothes, that is, she passes the miracle of the candle on herself. She becomes the candle, her handle is herself.
You’re very funny, so many chuckles! This is my favorite Disney movie, and top 3 favorite of all time. This music was my most played music last year lol

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.
I believe Camilo is just teasing her. Camilo and Mirabel both canonically share the age of fifteen, so they would probably have pretty similar image in their heads of what Bruno was/is like.
Yeah, Bruno is clearly taller than a five-year-old (how old Mirabel and Camilo would have been when Bruno disappeared), but I don't think Camilo would really think Bruno has a "7-foot frame". Surely they both had seen him interacting with the other adults.

Really ? Can you explain please because I'm french
@@a.g.demada5263 is about what tells the movie in that part with the song as well. The armed conflict and the forced displacement of the madrigal family, represents what colombians went through at that time and how the wounds caused by that conflict continue healing! 💖
Definitely the most beautiful song in the entire movie
Camilo and Dolores are my favorite characters. The girl who gets all the gossip and T dropped on her even if she does want it and the teenage boy with a major identity crisis, it’s like they wrote those characters just for me. 😂 This film was therapy for everyone who grew up having to deal with inter generational trauma and toxic families.
Dolores*
@@nancycrazyau5987 thank you! I’ll edit the post now. Appreciated.
Also, notice the butterfly symbolism: they’re stitched into Mirabel’s dress, and the she’s added a few more in colour herself. They’re stitched at the bottom of the Abuela’s black shawl-almost like a mourning shawl. And a butterfly is on the candle itself. The reconciliation song is about them growing up ‘out of their chrysalis’ (I.e. beyond the generational trauma (Abuela) and unhealthy expectations (Louisa, Isabela, Bruno)). Mirabel’s gift is to reunite the family by exposing the underlying weakness (cracks in the house) and bringing them together to make them whole again (one front door for everyone, rather than isolated doors).
the movie is about generational trauma in latino families, each of their gifts represent the role each family member plays in the family
Abuela is the matriarch
Julieta's healing power represents her being the one who picks up the pieces in the family
Pepa's weather power represents her emotions, how they affect the family and how the family influence them
Isabela is the perfect golden child, has to marry for status and to preserve the family
Luisa is the eldest sister, carrying family problems on her back, resulting in pressure, stress and anxiety she wishes to break free from
Dolores could be interpreted as the nosey cousin who knows everything about everyone, representing a family member who knows everyone's problems yet must keep quiet about all of them
Camilo's shape shifting to me represents him being a people pleaser, changing himself according to the person or situation
Bruno is the outcast, the one who doesn't typically agree with the family values, the black sheep, representing the same thing in latino families, that one relative who was exiled and we're not allowed to talk about (we see this with Hector in Coco too)
Some people see Abuela as the villan. The reality is, she herself has suffered from trauma, having been chased out of her home from colonizers who also brutally murdered her husband in front of her. She had to raise triplets and make a home all by herself. Everything she did was to ensure her family would never have to go through that again, but, as is common in almost every latino household, this resulted in an insane amount of trauma, pressure, and expectations on the younger generations. The ending symbolizes breaking down that generational trauma (the broken house) and building a new foundation based on love and acceptance of every family member as they come.
"Villain" is not the term I would use for Abuela. I think the more fitting term is "Antagonist" because even loved ones can be the obstacle in the way of happiness without even realizing it due to how life has worked up until the problems become prominent.
luisa is actually the middle sister! isabela and dolores are actually the same age, i think they're around 23, while luisa is 19 and mirabel is 15
" The reality is, she herself has suffered from trauma, having been chased out of her home from colonizers who also brutally murdered her husband in front of her. "
IIRC, the events portrayed causing them to flee are part of La Violencia....just going t show how terrible Civil War can be. Since they're being killed by their own neighbors.
I'm brazilian and i think that even if you're not Colombian, you can relate to Encanto because generational trauma is such a problem no matter what latino country you come from. My family lives all together like the Madrigal family, we have to deal with this things in a daily baises. It can be a lot. Even tho family is important in any part of the world, it doesn't seem to have the same weight like it have for us. That's why non latinos seem to have a more difficult time understanding that the plot is not really about Mirabel having a gift or not. We can all relate the characters to someone in our family because we see this happening everyday.
I interpret camilo as being a child forced to act as an adult by having too many responsibilities placed on him. This is exemplified by the fact that when everything starts falling apart he regresses to a baby, a thing some people traumatised into acting as an adult too early often do throughout life
I love the the different families represent different triads. Abuelta's children represent the Past (Julieta's healing is repairing past mistakes), Present (Pepa's emotions are what she is feeling at the moment), the Bruno's visions of the Future. Also, Pepa's children represent the senses: Delores' Hearing, Sight (Camilio's shapeshifting allows him to be seen in different ways) and Antonio's Speaking with animals. This also represents the See, Hear, Speak no evil. Maribel and her sisters represent Mind (Isabela always being concerned what others think about her being "perfect"...and how her power grows when she doesn't), Luisa's Body which means Maribel represents the Spirit.
Wow, that's a good interprétation
duddeeee
Wooooaaahhh
I really don't think Pepa's kids are the senses. For one, speaking isn't a sense. It's sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
6:47 That little "I need you." has ALWAYS made every TH-camr cry at most, or "AWWWWWW" at least!
I'm not ashamed to admit that, when the trailer came out, I wanted to watch this film for Luisa because I'm 100% a simp for a strong buff woman. HOWEVER the fact it's Colombian, has diverse characters with emotional struggles that weren't turned into jokes, and is about discussing and acknowledging generational trauma makes this film so so important. So happy you enjoyed and reacted!!
Luisa stayed my favourite honestly (thank you middle child overcompensation complex that hit me wayyy too hard) and I've genuinely played Waiting On A Miracle every day for a week at least once.
She's my favorite character too. It's cute to see her always taking care of Mirabel during her song and when Mirabel hugs her after
In the end, she got her door (the front door) - she embodies the love an unity that holds the family together.
You are the first reactor I have seen that understood the house and town were her "door" upon first watch. Everyone else thinks she got powers or restored the powers. She is meant to be the next "Abuela". That's why she didn't get a door inside the house as a child.
I have been watching Encanto on repeat for days And just been singing all the songs on repeat especially "we don't talk about Bruno". Encanto is awesome and has such a beautiful lesson...the miracle is YOU not some gift just you and I love that.
But it wasn't about not having gifts, it was about showing that the gifts aren't all they are. That's why Mirabel got none but now Mirabel is like the candle, even though she had no gift she is what holds the family together. The miracle wasn't the candle, it was the love for not just the gifts but the person behind the gift. Or at least that's how I see it.
Everyone says that Mirabelle‘s gift is empathy and connecting to the house, and while I agree, I think her real gift is getting people to open up to her through song 😂
18:07 If you didn't recognize this scream, Seb, the other character you've heard scream/yelp like that has a HEAVY lisp, ends up being the butt of the joke from his prehistoric friends, walks on two feet, and has large finger-like claws... and a LOT of space between his eyes. It's Sid the Sloth! John Leguizamo voices both of them.
This movie is amazing, I’ve watched it so many times in a very short amount of time already, it’s a new comfort movie. Seeing how I grew up in a family with immigrant parents who always thought they were doing the right thing and never apologised for the mistakes they made (unlike Mirabel‘s abuela), I related to Mirabel and Bruno sm. It makes me cry sm bc the intergenerational trauma is smth I know myself as well and this movie is all about healing this very trauma and to be the one to break the cycle.
I've seen this 3 times now in 1 week. I love it. No villain, just family and love. My daughter has just seen it with me and loves it too. Great reaction
My partner watched this the day it came out and I woke up from a nap at the credits. It was really cute how he rewatched it with his eyes on me the entire time during my first watch.
It's hard to choose a favorite, it started out being Luisa but then you meet more characters and I start listening other family members
I love how quick you got the message at the end there when you said, "oh.. that's HER door!" 🎶❤️
For me Louisa’s song at first was good fun and a great tune but then the message behind it and the emotions just make it so phenomenal, it’s my favourite moment in the film and she is my favourite character
Same, especially as an older sister. Her song gets overshadowed by we don't talk about bruno but its my favorite part of the movie as well.
@@Cowgirlkatelynn actually, Luisa is the middle child
@@a.g.demada5263 Ik but she’s the older sister to mira
Capybaras are the most chill animals on the planet. They will calmly hang out with... loads of other animals.
Seriously, do some image searches for 'capybara with other animals'
I wish we could have seen at least a brief glimpse of every family member's room, or that there will be a sequel for us to see them.
It would hv been cool to see Luisa's room early in the film (maybe w/ everything made of stone/ focused on her strength like the concept design), & then see Luisa's, Bruno's & Isabela's rooms *after* Casita is rebuilt, getting to see how they've changed w/ the new family dynamics, (I.e. Luisa given space to relax, & Isa having ALL kinds of plants, Mirabel hving her own room, etc)
Did you know?
In the song 'We don't talk about Bruno' everyone say's mean stuff about him all but one. The one is Dolorous since she has super hearing so she must off heard Bruno and everything.
Bonus!
But this also could lead to her being the villian if she could hear Bruno why didn't she told her family? If she did the family and Bruno could be back as a family!! And not going through house crashing and all that!!
Mirabelles gift is the new ruler of the house and family- same thing as abuela
Bruno is like the anti-disney twist villain
Ikr
And that’s why I love it! It’s like movies that have a redeemable villain, and I love that plot! (Sometimes)
I also watched Wish, and it was better than what I expected! I thought Magnifico was gonna turn good!
The bigger on the inside line was actually a Doctor Who reference because one of the directors is actually a Doctor Who fan.
this movie is soooo good. a 10/10, also made me cry like a baby.
9:00 she has a power! She can freeze time!!!
Also Mirabel didn’t get a power because she wiped her hand on her dress, and the one who hears everything anywhere near her heard the cracks
Mirabel is my favorite. As the family outcast in a Latino family, I really related to her. But, the Tucan is my favorite support character!
You might be the only person who reacted by saying that it might not be such a terrible thing if Antonio didn't get a gift b/c it would mean that A) Mirabel wasn't the only one w/o a gift and B) that it's not terrible that you didn't have a gift. All the other reactions I've seen were relieved when Antonio got his power. Thanks for this reaction~
OMG thank you for getting the reference to the TARDIS, not many do. 😂
My daughter has had this movie on repeat since it came out so I know every word to every song lol
the movie's over-arching message is about generational trauma actually! it conveys toxic family structures and there's not always one person to blame.
We don't talk about Bruno, but we sing about Bruno!
Moral: if you want to discuss a forbidden topic, song is a way to go
absolutely loved this movie!!! the visuals and music is just beautiful af and the message too 💙
As a Latina, this movie made me feel so seen and actually having Latino representation outside of Mexico is so refreshing as well, I'm not Colombian but my environment is really similiar to the one shown in this movie so I really aprecciate it. Thanks for the reaction btw ^^
COLOMBIA,Mexico NO.
@@josemariajaramillo9339 No sé si me malentendiste pero dije que es refrescante que haya representación latina que no sea México c:
I assume Mirabel's powers are in line with the grandmother's- a connection to the miracle itself, the house, and the protected place they live (perhaps hinting she'll eventually be stepping into the grandmother's family role when Abuela passes)
My favorite character is Bruno, I feel like I have a lot in common with him as someone misunderstood. I'm a very practical, pragmatic woman so sometimes I give advice to my friends & family or "predict" consequences of someone's actions that seem like common sense to me, but it sometimes gets mistaken as me not caring about their feelings or wishing those things would happen. Like warning a cousin taking back a cheating bf that "once a cheater, always a cheater." First I get accused of being insensitive towards her heartbreak for being cheated on, then a couple months later when he does cheat again I get accused of having wanted that to happen even though I was trying my best to warn her against taking him back at all. Yeah, definitely feeling the Bruno character.
My favorite is absolutely Camilo, he didn't have that much of screen time, but i love his attitude
I cried when I saw this in the theater. I cried even harder the second time I saw it at home. Such a good movie. As the oldest of 3 girls in a military family, I relate so much to Isabella and Luisa, expected to be strong and perfect and how that can just completely overwhelm anyone. I honestly cannot choose a favorite character, I love them all! Yes, even Abuela.
We dont talk about bruno is the catchiest for me
Is the one I have listen to least
I just started to see the reaction but the whisper "I need you" aaw It melted my heart 💛
My favorite character is definitely Casita, though the most relateable to me would be Pepa (The nervous wreck) or Luisa (The one who has to be strong) Ik, kind of a contradiction
There's an interesting Reddit theory I love that points out that each group of siblings & powers are divided into threes, i.e.:
Julieta, Pepa, & Bruno - powers are based on the past, present, & future.
* Julieta cures wounds created in the past
* Pepa changes the weather in the present
* Bruno predicts the future
Dolores, Camilo, & Antonio - powers are based on the sayings hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil.
* Dolores has super hearing powers
* Camilo can take on anyone’s appearance
* Antonio can understand animals
Isabela, Luisa, & Mirabel - powers are based on beauty, brawn, & brain.
* Isabela produces beautiful plants
* Luisa is so strong that she can move buildings
* Mirabel doesn’t have powers like the rest, but she’s the brain that pieces everything together
Im ok with them getting their gifts back. We came full circle. Before they had so much pressure on them, but now they dont, and now they can be an actual happy magical family
25:33 If no one had noticed yet, all the Madrigals with a Gift had a door; everyone except the husbands and I think Abuela, and of course Mirabel. The images of them on their doors, and now the big family portrait front door, all have their eyes closed. But Mirabel's eyes on this new for are the only ones that are upturned/smiling instead of downturned/relaxed. Many fans have speculated that she didn't get a "Gift" like her family did because she was destined to be the next matriarch/leader of the family and household like Abuela is. She didn't get Marvel-level superpowers because her power was the hidden ability to stop the family's cycle of generational trauma, and then finally bring the family together again to remind them what the Gift really is: Abuelo's sacrificial desire to keep them safe and happy. This idea is further reinforced by Mirabel being in the front and center of the portrait, plus she was the one who put the doorknob in and gave the magic back to Casita, therefore giving everyone's Gifts back. I think her actual magic just lay dormant all those years so she could return it once the family learned their lesson; and she didn't need superpowers to be who she was, anyway.
"Why did the door close for her?" Because Mirabel already had her door. It was the front door of casita. Notice that when Mirabel touched the candle the flame turned into Abuela. She's the next keeper of the Miracle.
Lin Manuel Miranda did the songs for this movie. Probably best known for Hamilton (which I would reccommend - also on Disney Plus). If you want more I would also suggest "In the Heights" another Lin Manuel Miranda musical as well as "Tick Tick Boom". Music is by Jonathan Larson but Lin directed the film.
Abuelo Pedro is my favorite character ❤️
Bruno is my favorite 😊. He's such a precious dork
I was shocked to find out Rosa from Brooklyn 99 is the voice of Mirabel 😅.
Also I have a headcanon that Dolores may have made up the part about 5 babies to try and dissuade Isabella from accepting the proposal.
I must say, I’ve never cried while watching a Disney movie (almost during the Lion King but not completely) but this movie was so good and emotional (I think we all do have some similar problems in our own families, for me it’s my grandma for who I will never be good enough like my sister even tho I try to be here for her more often). Plus the cinematography, songs and great characters make it easily one of my 3 most favorite Disney movies (and defenetly the best Disney movie from this century).
In the we don't talk about bruno you can see Bruno in the Background by dolores part and you look closly you can see him vibing to his own song
i'm glad i waited to watch it myself before seeing reactions or movie breakdowns, these movies are something that you need a fresh mind for.
We Don't Talk About Bruno is my favorite Disney song now.
If you go back to ,,We don't talk about Bruno song" during Dolores part, she actually hints that she knows that Bruno is in the house and doesn't talk bad about him. Also in same part when Dorores is singing there for Mirabel, you can actually see Bruno walking in the background of ground floor and then on first floor. He was even vibing there with song about him, swinging his head to music.
why he said that mirabel was gonna get cast out by her mom i think he got abuela confused with her mother; mirabel moms is the one that heals people with food and her abuela is the old lady in magenta.
Mirabel is the GOAT! I've never connected so quickly to a character in Disney before.
The cool thing about Dolores. She knew Bruno was still around and she most likely gave him food and stuff. :) do many small details like that you need to think about too.
My favorite characters were Bruno, Isabella and Maribel and her parents. :)
If you haven’t looked it up yet, the voice actress for Mirabel is Stephanie Beatriz, who plays Officer Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine Nine.
i thought her gift was seeing things in others they couldn't see in themselves. if you rewatch the movie, take note of every time you hear the word "see", it's almost always connected to mirabel. she's also the only one with glasses. I originally thought it could also be connected to her name as Mirar (conjugated to mira) can mean "to watch" in Spanish, but Mirabel actually means "wonderous"
Nothing to prevent it from meaning both.
I noted her glasses were green, tying her special sight to the green top of her seer uncle Bruno.
Mirabel gift is empathy and knowing qhat her family needs emotionally. She was always intuned with the house
Yea, she's the one who talks the most with Casita
The story for me us less about "you're fine without your gifts" and more about "you are more than what you have to offer others". Luisa was stressed out of her mind worrying that she'd have to carry every family and village berdan for the rest of her life, Isabella was always trying to be perfect to uphold the family's stature in the community, Julietta was constantly cooking enough food every day to feed an entire village worth of sick and injured and Pepa had to have constant and complete control over her emotions go help the community as well. They were existing only to keep other people happy and not just living for themselves, which is a sad way to be. Allowing that generational trauma to be broken and showing everyone the way back to the lives they deserve is Mirabel's true gift 🥰
I have no doubt that if they make a second film it's going to be about her becoming the new family matriarch
I love Bruno, such a great character.
What a great reaction! I genuinely loved Mirebel, she was so sad and yet still tried to live up to the family expectation (as did everyone) and I think she did it in a positive manner and from her heart and I love that.
I love this one, the capibara is my favourite character. I already know how to play all of the songs and they are stuck in my head ever since i watched the movie. I do agree that in a better ending they wouldn't have gotten their gifts back, but that is my only complaint
The animals were adorable. I smiled when Antonio told his Jaguar not to eat Bruno's rats. The capybara and the coatis were adorable!
Abuela: "I'm sorry"
Seb: "Aw, we forgive you"
Me: "Speak for yourself"
it still makes me so angry when they didn't include her in the family photo, but it drives home how little they think about her.
This is the theory that Maribel has the same Don as the grandmother, to deliver gifts and communicate with the house, in addition to keeping the family together, she did not receive her door as a child because perhaps the grandmother saw it more as a duty, more than from the heart, so it was because of the grandmother, while with the cousin, as Maribel believed in him, he gave him the gift, apart from the fact that the candle represented how fragile the miracle of the grandmother was, while in the end the miracle of Mirabel is represented with the Door, which comes to indicate that it is strong, for the next generations of the Door, which comes to indicate that it is strong, for the next generations of the family, well all that is theory, but it is nice to think that 💜
Finally got Disney+ over in my country, so I can go back to all the Disney reactions I've not seen before, thrilled! This was such a lovely, colourful story.
She is heart of the hous!
15:40 I do in fact know all the lyrics 😂
Stephanie Beatriz was actually in labour while recording "Waiting on a Miracle" but at first she didn't know, then once she realized she was in the middle of recording and didn't want to panic anyone, so didn't say anything.
my family and i are absolutely *in love* with this movie and the soundtrack during christmas and new years the only songs we played were off the soundtrack lol happy new year seb
Kinda wanted to see more of you reaction of the Dos Oruguitas song as well as what happens in that part but also kind of happy you didn't because I cry every time that part comes on.
Saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia My friend. Encanto is a beautiful movie. Thanks My friend for your reaction. Happy new year. God bless You.
I like Camilo, Antonio, Bruno, Surface Pressure, and We Don’t Talk About Bruno. The Movie is Amazing
Julieta(mirabel’s mom) was my favorite character. I loved how supportive and positive she was towards Mirabel. She was the only one who believed she was special even when Mirabel didn’t believe it.
Favorite character… Luisa. As a Mexican American who takes care of her father… I’m expected to do all for my father. My child followed her dreams and is working where she dreamed of as a child, half way across the country. I take care of my dad while I get help from a few of my four siblings and a single nephew out of his many grandchildren. Luisa has to take on the pressure of family and it’s expected by all of those around her…
it took a while to belive Rosa Diaz is also played by Mirabel's VA (but Diane Guerrero was easy thanks to her many voices on Doom Patrol)
honestly my favorite character is camilo. there’s so much unexplored potential with his character and i’d love to see a sequel about him. he’s a teenage boy who is trying to find himself and grow up and there could be a lot of topics discussed in his storyline that disney has never tackled
YES YES YES HE IS FOREVER MY FAVORITE
Yes, some of us DO know the bruno song by heart. It is truly a masterpiece
If you look on the second floor during Delores part of we dont talk about Bruno you can see him sneaking around and even dancing in the background
Dunno if you’ll see this since it’s months after you asked, but my favorite character is Bruno. He’s just perfect.
ahh was so happy to see you reacted to this!! love this movie so much
This movie has a beautiful message that everyone is special, no matter what. As a Latin American guy, I'm happy to see this movie getting so much attention. I love how well they've mixed English and Spanish here. Even though I'm not Colombian, this movie made me so happy with its representation. And I can see in other comments that Colombian people is proud with it so that is something well-made.
Seb, sure someone pointed it out; but Doloros outright talks about the fact that she hears him during "we dont talk about Bruno" and than further confirms it at the finale about "[she] heard it every day".
i got to watch it yesterday and just cried at the first 20 minutes when mirabel didn't got into the photo. idk if it is because of the maternal relationship pictured or bc i'm a latina, but this movie got me feeling things
My favorite thing you said was, “Come back and help her Bruno, she’ll sing you a song.” Omg I died lol so spot on.
One thing that few people noticed is that when Mirabel is standing in front of Abuela who is holding the candle, she offers her the candle for Mirabel to touch and proceeds to touch the doorknob that would be hers, but before touching the doorknob, Mirabel passes her hands over her own clothes, that is, she passes the miracle of the candle on herself. She becomes the candle, her handle is herself.
You’re very funny, so many chuckles! This is my favorite Disney movie, and top 3 favorite of all time. This music was my most played music last year lol
OMG FINALLY !! I was waiting for your reaction to this film. I love your reaction as much as the film haha
I love your reaction! I have watched it like 3 times already and I am singing the songs still both in english and spanish, specially Bruno's and familia Madrigal ❤
