The film tackles generational trauma passed down through the family & the candle is born from Abuela's grief. Mirabel's gift is the house - aside from Abuela, she is the only one who can command the house. Butterflies are a symbol of transformation and change, which is used as imagery throughout the film, since the family needs to change in order to heal. Stephanie Beatriz nailed it in this role!
@@AdamfromFWCI The men that kill Abuelo represent the 1000 days war that ravaged Colombia 1899-1902. This gives a bit more idea of when and where. Also it has been revealed that this movie is in the same universe as Moana, so the candle can be a gift from the gods drawn in by Abuela's grief. Mirabel seems to have the power to get people to express how they feel and so help heal the broken dynamic of the family. As for why Bruno left... The powers come when they are 5 years old. When Mirabel is 15 it was 50 years ago that Bruno was born. As he left when Mirabel was 5 it would have been 35 years of demands for his visions and then that his powers are no good and that he only brings bad things. After 35 years of that anyone would leave. If there is a villain in this story it's the villagers towards poor Bruno.
Baby Mirabel didn't get a door because she had one all along - it was just the front door of the house. This gets me every time, I love this film so much
okay, I know I'm late to this video lol but I just wanted to say that from what I've researched, the conflict that Alma (Abuela) and Pedro go through is based on a real "civil" war that happened in Colombia where neighbors killed each other based on difference of political views. Supposedly that's why Abuela is so concerned with keeping the townspeople happy and why she puts so much pressure on everyone and why she's so obsessed with keeping the miracle alive. Knowing all of that, it makes me cry every time at the end when the townspeople come together to help them because it's the opposite of what Abuela went through in her early life and is just really beautiful. The whole movie is stunning and beautiful and it really resonates with so many people because you can also view it as a story of breaking generational trauma. Great reaction!!!
I think you're spot on with the theory that Mirabel is the next matriarch for the Madrigal family. Neither she nor abuela had any powers, their ability is to bring family and their people together which isn't necessarily supernatural/magical in nature. I guess people have mentioned the above and what I'm about to mention, but yeah, the movie takes place in Colombia during the... I want to say early 20th century when Colombians experienced a lot of internal strife and displacement like you see at the beginning of the movie during a period referred to as La Violencia. The effect of which has been so long lasting that you see displaced Colombians to this day.
This movie is so good! Abuela's silent cry of agony in the flashback moves me to tears everytime. Also, how different Stephanie Beatriz sounds as Rosa vs in her more regular voice is always fascinating. For movie suggestions, I definitely agree with Moana and also, while it's a cliché by now, Frozen is genuinely just a good movie too.
This movie was such a surprise to me. It was far deeper and nuanced than anything else Disney has done. There are so many, hidden, little details that you can see with rewatching it. I will say I think you are right about the family being pretty toxic, but no one was a bad person. 1. Bruno wanted to help people, but everyone only remembered the bad things he said, and blamed him for them. 2. Pepa was, constantly, stressed, because it was very easy to get into a negative loop with her emotions, and she was, constantly, reminded of when she did. It is horrible when people tell you that you have to be happy ALL THE TIME, because you are a burden to everyone else, when you aren't. 3. Luisa was pushing herself to the breaking point to be able to be helpful and useful to everyone, because she saw her strength as the only thing of value she had, and no one seemed to bother to make her feel otherwise. 4. Isabela was being forced to maintain a perfect image to everyone, and not allowed to be herself, at all. In fact, the whole animosity between Isabela and Mirabel stemmed from each being jealous of the other's position. Mirabel wanted more responsibility and to help, and resented Isabel being doted upon as being perfect, as saw hers as a life of privilege and leisure. Isabel saw herself as in a gilded cage and being sold off to marriage to help the family, and resented Mirabel because no one expected anything from her, no one really cared what she did. Luisa's song is chock full of symbolism, far too much to list here. But one of my favorites is near the end. When the rocks are falling on Luisa's shoulders, you see Mirabel try and help, briefly, before being forced to retreat.
Yup, which is why her door disappears. The most accepted theory is that the "miracle", which grants and fuels everyone's powers, had determined that Mirabel would be the next matriarch. This being said Abuela Alma had already shown signs of favoritism (pause the scene when Mirabel is looking at the pictures of everyone's celebrations and look for Isabella's... you'll be able to tell) and she was increasing the pressure on everyone to be perfect. If it had been revealed that Mirabel was to be the next "candle bearer" there's no saying how much Abuela would have pushed Mirabel to be just like her, which would have removed what made Mirabel unique. That's a lot of pressure for a 5 yro. Plus growing without powers made Mirabel more emphatic and closer to the townspeople. If you pay attention during the movie you see instances of how separated the family is from everyone else. Especially towards the end when everything is going wonky the townspeople go to the house looking for reassurance that everything is fine. She was sort of a bridge between them all.
I feel like this is a great depiction of what I call legacy families. Families that feel that they have to push their legacy from one generation to another. And how it effects people. This represents my childhood so much. I am so happy Disney showed its toxicity. Edit: If there are likes eventually I edited this before there were any. I added the last 2 sentences about my childhood and gratitude towards this film.
Another way to describe that is generational trauma, which is so common among immigrant families from all over the world. The older generation fled terror in their home, which is something they rarely discuss, but are also desperate to prevent from happening again. The younger generations often feel pressured to be perfect and live up to the older generation’s expectations because doing anything else disrespects the sacrifices the older generation made. Yet, at the same time, the younger generation chafes at their inability to deviate from those expectations. Encanto demonstrates that dynamic so well. In the end, Abuela learned that she had to let go a bit and let her grandchildren live with less pressure, but, at the same time, Mirabel was able to fully understand what Abuela had lost and why she was so afraid of losing the miracle that had saved the family. Abuela wasn’t a villain; she suffered a tragedy and reacted like many people who have suffered great trauma. By telling her true story and Mirabel realizing the depth of Abuela’s loss, they were able to understand one another. That restored the family harmony and allowed the miracle to be restored.
Late to the party, but one thing I love most about this movie that I don't see a whole lot of people talk about is the difference between the story of how the miracle was created from the beginning of the movie to the end. The story Abuela tells at the beginning is very sanitized and watered-down (dare I say... Disneyfied), appropriate for the five year old she's telling it to... her younger self looks vaguely sad when her husband dies, but it's not more than that. And for the most part, we don't see what's around her and her family. We don't see the burning, or most of the river, or how many people they're with as they flee. The magic is gentle. At the end, it's so much more raw. We see people burning houses, we see that there are many people with them crossing the river. We see the sword in the hand of one of the riders... and Abuela's devastation when she watches her husband killed. The magic explodes from the candle and throws back the attackers. It's so much more intense and real and while the version at the beginning is a nice fairy tale to tell children, this is what Mirabel actually needed to hear in order to start understanding her grandmother's pain and trauma. Which she needed in order to begin the real healing process. It's so good. Encanto might be my favorite movie of all time.
So to answer some of your questions, this is set in Colombia which has a fairly recent history of some utterly brutal civil wars, literally neighbor against neighbor. That's what the Alma and Pedro Madrigal and the other refugees with them were running from. Abuela Alma has lived with the trauma of not only running from her own (former) neighbors but seeing them murder her husband. That trauma shaped her behavior, which in turn affected her children and then her grandchildren. Abuela is the antagonist but the real villain is generational trauma. Why was the miracle dying? I think it was because Abuela was starting to value the gifts more than her own family members. And everyone was keeping secrets/pretending they're always fine, which is super unhealthy. Why didn't Mirabel get a door? I think it's because the miracle chose her to "fix the cracks" that were already starting in her family. (There's a theory that Mirabel became her own door or internalized her gift because at her ceremony, after she touched the candle she touched her dress and then touched the doorknob. I have no opinion on this.) What is Mirabel's power, since she got a door now? I think she's the new Keeper of the Miracle like Abuela was with the candle. (Mirabel and Abuela are the only ones to really interact with Casita.)
It's funny you mention wanting a Luisa action figure. When Disney released the line of Encanto toys, they expected Isabella to be the best seller, so they overstocked her. Luisa sold out in record time.💪
I love this movie, the fear that abuela has about losing everything again making her unintentionally hurt her family. It reminds me of my family and older generations. Having to to through trauma that they don’t get to process. Cry everything during the flashback.
Normally, you face your door alone. It's a testament not only to Antonio and Mirabel's relationship, but to Mirabel herself, that she chooses to be looked upon as even more of an outcast by not forcing Antonio to face an uncertain fate all alone.
Lemurs are from Madagascar. This film is set in Colombia. All the animals in the film are endemic to Central and South America. The animals you saw are coati/coatimundi. The other animals are jaguars, capybara, hummingbirds, butterflies, toucans, tapirs, pythons, and other animals found in Colombia. The butterflies and flowers are prominent in Colombian culture. Colombian Nobel Prize winning author and filmmaker Gabriel Garcia Marquez features these symbols as part of magical realism "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of his famous works. Abuelo suffered demise from marauders who continue to this day to terrorize villages. These events occur in reality. The film mentioned the location during the opening song. The family members clothing are identified by the colors of the Colombian flag. It's set in Colombia.
Did anybody notice that in the end of the movie when the magic came back it wasn't only confined to the house that it went through all the town and that the magic extends outside now?
It's set in Columbia with many Columbian artists in it. It's so beautiful. The hip hop is from Lin Manuel-Miranda who did all the music for Encanto and Hamilton which also has a lot of rap and hip hop in it! He's incredible.
My believe is that Mirabel was an Empath. She didnt get a room becauae that would seclude her from everyone. The more she broke the more the Casita broke.
This reminds me very much of a cartoon movie in the 70's called The Point by Harry Nillson. In it the main character is different from everyone else because he doesn't have a pointed head but the message of the film ultimately is "you don't have to have a point to have a point". And that is definitely the vibe I get here, " you don't have to have a power (or gift) to have a power, especially for good!" I really enjoyed this film as well, very beautiful and vibrant and fun. Others you might want to explore include Soul and Luca (more recent ones) and of course if you have never seen it Finding Nemo which takes place in Australia I believe!
There is never an exact explenation what the candle _is_ but it seems to have been born out of Abuelas grief and her desire to protect her children and her people (You can see that Pedro is elading the Villagers, suggesting that he had some sort of leadership role. When he died Abuela probably became the de facto leader). Over time, her unwillingness to let go of her grief made her hard and inflexible. Grief is born out of love, but she started to deny her Children and grandchildren that love out of fear to lose it all again. The prevailing theory is that Mirabel is chosen by Casita to be the next head of the family. You may notice, abuela herself does not have a gift either and no one communicates as well with Casita as Abuela and Mirabel. It seems their 'gift' is an enhanced connection to casita and the miracle itself, not a direct magical manifestion
Encanto is inspired by Colombian culture. Abuela's story is based on the violence Colombia has suffered from 90s. Thousand of colombians had to leave their villages because of the violence, and of course, some people died. The yellow butterflies are inspired by the colombian winning Nobel book: 100 years of solitude.
Mirabel's gift is being the family therapist. She didn't get it when she was five because that would be horrible. She heals minds the way her mom heals bodies
I think the whole point is that Mirabelle was the miracle all along, like Pedro‘s spirit kind of went into her, not literally, but like she is the embodiment of who he was, and the love of the family, and all of that kind of symbolised the passing of the torch between Abuela and Mirabel as the candleholder or the one responsible for the magic.
@@AdamfromFWCI Hamilfans will be here for it👍🏾 With over 40 songs and almost 3 hours, you may want to get suggestions from your subs on what songs to group together.
There is an intermission halfway through so you don't need to feel intimidated. You can always break it into two 1.5 hour sessions. But it is hard to stop in the middle 😉
Funny that you mentioned a Slytherin character. I've always thought that the characters in this movie fit the house tropes really well. I'd say Lousia (the strong one that has to be of service and protect everyone), would be Gryfindor, Mirabel (the steadfast, steady, and loyal but seen as unexceptional one, as well as the nurturer and closest to the home), would be Hufflepuff, Bruno (the misunderstood, eccentric one, think Luna), would be Ravenclaw, and Isabella, (the somewhat snotty, but perfect at all times one with the high expectations), would be Slytherin.
I think Encanto is as much for people of all ages. At least the movie's message is for everybody. You need to watch the whole movie. My suggestion for a Disney movie is Moana! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this one.
It’s interesting to hear your interpretation of what the candle represents - I think different people see it differently depending on their experiences. I’m not Columbian, but I am from a family that were displaced due to war and death. I view the candle as sort of the strength and drive to overcome the past’s pain. That message can get lost through the generations and the family can lose track of its origin. I think In the movie Mirabel becomes the family member that brings perspective back to the family so they can appreciate what they have.
I think it’s funny so many people have no idea where this movie is supposed to take place seeing as in the very first song there’s literally a huge wall with Columbia written on it.
If you think about it many of the gifts were actually sorta a curse. Doloras was maybe the most prevalent one being able to hear everything. Throughout the movie every time she speaks it is a whisper because her talking regular would most likely hurt her ears. We see her finally speak normal after she loses her power. Also just think that she never has any peace and quiet hearing everything always at all time, even at night she would probably have issues sleeping hearing the rats in the walls and who knows what else if as she stated, she could hear Louisa’s eye twitching all night. Pepa is basically forced to be happy at all times otherwise the weather turns bad and she gets scolded by Abuela to be happy. Also just think how she is constantly getting wet from the cloud raining on her. Antonio might end up becoming a vegetarian since he can talk to animals and might have issues eating meat that use to be an animal he talked too. Also hearing all the animals talking all the time could cause sleeping issues like Doloras. The other son who can change into other people probably has some identity crisis issues since everyone wants him to be someone else and expects him to do something to make them happy. Louisa was pretty well shown that since she had super strength she was taken advantage of and everyone wanted her to be at their beck and call doing labor from sun up to sun set with no break. Isabella was less her power and more Abuela expecting her to be perfect at all times which caused her to have an identity crisis because she couldn’t be herself and had to be what Abuela wanted her to be. Maribels mother power didn’t have many drawbacks except that she probably had to constantly cook all the time to heal others. Bruno’s power was prophecy but sadly everyone just saw the bad parts of his prophecies and blamed him for what happened even tho it wasn’t his fault at all. I think many of them were happier without their gift or opened up to be more of who they truly are.
You knowm you are have been asking for movie recommendations of movies that have wrestlers in it, I would recommend Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride as a must viewing, if you haven't seen it. It's a really touching adventurous action film that you can see with your entire family. It has Andre the Giant in it playing a hilarious and endearing role. There are tons of stories about the film since it has suck a devoted fan base. It's one of my favorite films and I seen it several times.
You should watch Coco! It's set around the Mexican Holiday Día de Muertos and that's on November 2 I think. You are just around the perfect time for that! Btw! You know Mirabel is Rosa from Brooklyn 99?! [Another edit, I just now noticed you look for the credits 😅】
This movie takes place in Colombia. And what Abuela went through is something that used to be very common there due to conflict. Many people have been displaced in that country because of conflict.
Can't believe I just saw this reaction! And you sir have very spot on reactions I really enjoyed it! Complimenting Lin-Manuel and liking hip hop only mean one thing: HAMILTON: American Musical. Best ever. If you enjoyed the hip hop music vibes of Encanto, Hamilton is for you no doubt 😌👌
I like a person who can appreciate what an absolute bomb-ass babe Luisa is. There are dolls for her and her dolls have been outselling all the other characters. The funny thing is, the producers (Disney) wanted her to *not* be buff, to look like a "normal" woman, but magically super strong, but the designers/directors held their ground and now she's one of the most popular characters. Also, It feels so weird that you're saying "I like hip-hop" and also "Lin Manuel Miranda, who?" Have you not heard of Hamilton? It's one of the biggest Broadway hits of the millennia so far. LMM is famous for telling this pseudo-historical biography in hip-hop form. Honestly, watch it, it *will* blow your mind.
Well buckle up because a Hamilton reaction is on the way. I also reacted to LMM on the Always Sunny Podcast on this channel. I'm a lot informed on him now lol. Oh and I got my mini Luisa figure
@@AdamfromFWCI Can't wait! I love re-experiencing shows, movies, and music that I love through these reaction videos. It's interesting to see if people catch the same things you did or come to the same conclusions. I was going to recommend CoCo, which is another one that wrecks you emotionally, but I see that you're on top of it. XD
I hope you will give "Moana" and "Hamilton: An American Musical" a try. Both are on Disney and both were written by Lin Manuel Miranda. He's a writing hero of mine. Very talented
I highly recommend Zootopia if you're looking for another recent Disney flick. It's a lot of fun and has themes that keep getting more relevant as the years go by.
So many good films, tangled, frozen, Moana, coco, incredibles, ratatouille, Luca, turning red, inside out, Merida, finding Nemo, monsters inc, up, onward, WALL·E, zootopia, big hero 6, ice age the original, wreck it Ralph, the emperor’s new groove, dinosaur, Hercules, Tarzan, lilo & stitch, chicken little, rays and the last dragon, tinker bell. I included some older cause I don’t know at what point you stopped watching Disney animated films.
I highly recommend listening to the soundtrack of this movie while wearing headphones. Songs like We Don't Talk about Bruno have some cool effects that are best appreciated with headphones. Also, you can get a bunch of videos out of reviewing them lol
Something I always wondered was about Antonio's leopard. Was it created by the magic cuz it's his favorite animal, or was there a wild leopard hanging around just waiting for an excuse to get chummy with people? Cuz I can't imagine the people it ran past to get to him were overly excited to see a giant predator in the house.
the movie is straight up set in Colombia (a bunch of locations are literal representations of famous Colombian landmarks and the architecture and costumes are recognisable as such). the events that kick off the movie are the political troubles of the 1000 days war, during which a lot of poor people were forcibly displaced, as in, had to run for their lives to escape persecution and violence on political grounds. the candle and it's magic, symbolised by the butterflies, don't have an explicit mechanic... they represent magical realism, a literary device that is part of Colombian culture. what is very "real" is the generational trauma that is represented and affects every member of the family in different ways... another element that is very recognisable is the matriarchal family, coupled with the need for younger generations to be the best they can, have a duty of care, and basically be in service of the family ... something many second generation (im)migrants are very familiar with.. especially if they move from poor countries to a rich one... having to honour the sacrifices made by those who made the move by working hard and trying your best is ingrained in many cultures, and a point of honour for many... that can lead to some very fraught relationships. Abuela was hanging on for dear life to the candle, a magical device she had no real understanding of... anything that could put the magic, and the survival of her family, at risk, was a danger, something to avoid, distrust and try to ignore... Mirabel is the first instance in which the candle flickers and almost goes out.... and when she asks Bruno to find an explanation, he abbandons the family. Abuela probably spent most of her life torn by grief she never had the time to let go off (represented by her black shawl, which she puts on when Pedro dies, and only takes off at the end of the movie), fear of future loss, anxiety and a sense of obligation towards the family and the village at large. all in all, it's a wonder she was only a cranky old woman set in her ways... she could just as well have gone batshit crazy.
It's a bit sad to see how many people got Mirabel's 'gift' wrong. Jared Bush, the main producer of Encanto, stated that (not word-for-word, my memory sucks) "Mirabel didn't get a Gift because she doesn't need one. She is without a Gift because that's who she is." The message of the movie is that you don't need to be exceptional at something to be worth anything, or have a "Gift" in order to be seen as important. You just need to be yourself. Just like one line from the final song 'All Of You', "I think it's time your learned, you're more than just your Gift". Mirabel doesn't have a Gift because she doesn't need one. It's as simple as that.
I love the fact this detail is left open ended. I kind of agree with people who said her gift was empathy. She uses empathy on all of her family throughout the movie so I kinda feel like thats her "power" (aka non power since Empathy is a human thing, not magic)
@@AdamfromFWCI But... it's not open ended. Mirabel literally does not have a Gift or a "hidden power". Jared Bush himself, who literally made the movie, said the explaination for her not having a Gift is simple; she doesn't need one. There's no secret Gift within her. She is a Gift, just like the rest of her family members. That's the entire message of the movie.
Generational trauma is a very sad fact and it goes on for, well, generations. My grandmother had some really traumatizing experiences in WW2 and it still affects our family today. The house breaking was a physical manifestation of the cracks in the family. For instance you can see new cracks forming when Abuela is arguing with Mirabels parents because it's straining their relationship. Everyone was given a pretty raw deal in this movie but I Abuela had it the worst. Closely followed by poor Bruno who had to spend 10 years hiding in the walls. At least he had Dolores to help him.
Moana is a good suggestion. Not Disney, but if you want to do some more animated stuff how to train your dragon and Kung fu Panda is quite good if you haven't seen it already.
I absolutely love this movie and I watched a lot of people react to it this is my first time seeing you come up and suggested but I absolutely want to watch you react to the Harry Potter series because I love watching people react to that series
"is this on a nondescript Latin American country?" During the opening song we see a big shot of the word COLOMBIA in flowers and the song that plays at the end/during Antonio's door ceremony says "Colombia" like a million times lmaooooo
Wow! You nailed the ending. Mirabel will be the new caretaker of the house. It took me some research to understand that. Love this movie. I waited so long to watch it. And now I've seen it several times.
I really don't feel sorry for Abuela. Her kids(Bruno, pepe, and mirabels mom) are estimated to be in their late 30s to early 40s, and she knew the miracle was dying. She had all that time to fix it, but her pride got in the way.
You wanted suggestions for Disney, and Pixar. To be honest I usually like the Pixar films much better than Disney. The latest Pixar I didn't care for much. But the movie Luca, is my favorite Pixar film. Onward it super good. What I think is Pixar's absolute masterpiece is the movie Coco. You will really enjoy reacting to any of these. They are all emotional, and all have good messages within. I liked all of them more than Encanto. That said Encanto is one of my favorite movies. It is the best Disney has made in recent years, and they have made several excellent movies.
If you want something more classic I would recommend "A goofy movie" its more or less Goofys way of dealing with being a single dad to a teenage boy. Don't get fooled by the name, its a lot of deep scenes and heavy moments, its a GREAT movie
There's another movie you should check out called in the Heights it's based off of lin-manuel Miranda's first Broadway musical that went big before Hamilton p.s. and Camilo's verse of we don't talk about Bruno it was a reference and a nod to Bruno's original design back when he was called Oscar he was originally supposed to be 7 ft tall balding with rats all over him
That's not a leopard this is South America that's a jaguar leopards are not as heavy as them and they're from the old world Africa and Asia jaguars look pretty similar but they're much heavier and able to take down much bigger prey and they also kill a different way they go for a bite to the head when basically every other type of cat goes for the throat these things I s*** you not can take down payment which are the South American crocodilian
The film tackles generational trauma passed down through the family & the candle is born from Abuela's grief. Mirabel's gift is the house - aside from Abuela, she is the only one who can command the house. Butterflies are a symbol of transformation and change, which is used as imagery throughout the film, since the family needs to change in order to heal. Stephanie Beatriz nailed it in this role!
Yes it is lol. I check the credits at the end lol
Sorry to nit pick, but Colombia is spelled with two "o"s.
Also the house is Abuelo. He is trying to tell his wife to stop destroying the family with her fears.
Mirabel is the candle
@@AdamfromFWCI The men that kill Abuelo represent the 1000 days war that ravaged Colombia 1899-1902. This gives a bit more idea of when and where.
Also it has been revealed that this movie is in the same universe as Moana, so the candle can be a gift from the gods drawn in by Abuela's grief.
Mirabel seems to have the power to get people to express how they feel and so help heal the broken dynamic of the family.
As for why Bruno left... The powers come when they are 5 years old. When Mirabel is 15 it was 50 years ago that Bruno was born. As he left when Mirabel was 5 it would have been 35 years of demands for his visions and then that his powers are no good and that he only brings bad things. After 35 years of that anyone would leave. If there is a villain in this story it's the villagers towards poor Bruno.
Baby Mirabel didn't get a door because she had one all along - it was just the front door of the house. This gets me every time, I love this film so much

Thankyou for your comment JMB. I still think about this movie lol
This movie is so good! Abuela's silent cry of agony in the flashback moves me to tears everytime. Also, how different Stephanie Beatriz sounds as Rosa vs in her more regular voice is always fascinating.
For movie suggestions, I definitely agree with Moana and also, while it's a cliché by now, Frozen is genuinely just a good movie too.
Rosa slips through a bit at "Am I fighting or hugging?" and it's hilarious.
The real villain was generational trauma.
Thats not untrue lol
This movie was such a surprise to me. It was far deeper and nuanced than anything else Disney has done. There are so many, hidden, little details that you can see with rewatching it. I will say I think you are right about the family being pretty toxic, but no one was a bad person.
1. Bruno wanted to help people, but everyone only remembered the bad things he said, and blamed him for them.
2. Pepa was, constantly, stressed, because it was very easy to get into a negative loop with her emotions, and she was, constantly, reminded of when she did. It is horrible when people tell you that you have to be happy ALL THE TIME, because you are a burden to everyone else, when you aren't.
3. Luisa was pushing herself to the breaking point to be able to be helpful and useful to everyone, because she saw her strength as the only thing of value she had, and no one seemed to bother to make her feel otherwise.
4. Isabela was being forced to maintain a perfect image to everyone, and not allowed to be herself, at all. In fact, the whole animosity between Isabela and Mirabel stemmed from each being jealous of the other's position. Mirabel wanted more responsibility and to help, and resented Isabel being doted upon as being perfect, as saw hers as a life of privilege and leisure. Isabel saw herself as in a gilded cage and being sold off to marriage to help the family, and resented Mirabel because no one expected anything from her, no one really cared what she did.
Luisa's song is chock full of symbolism, far too much to list here. But one of my favorites is near the end. When the rocks are falling on Luisa's shoulders, you see Mirabel try and help, briefly, before being forced to retreat.
In my estimation Mirabel's true power is the house itself, at least symbolically; she holds the family together, she's the glue.
That's how I interpret it too :)
Yup, which is why her door disappears. The most accepted theory is that the "miracle", which grants and fuels everyone's powers, had determined that Mirabel would be the next matriarch. This being said Abuela Alma had already shown signs of favoritism (pause the scene when Mirabel is looking at the pictures of everyone's celebrations and look for Isabella's... you'll be able to tell) and she was increasing the pressure on everyone to be perfect. If it had been revealed that Mirabel was to be the next "candle bearer" there's no saying how much Abuela would have pushed Mirabel to be just like her, which would have removed what made Mirabel unique. That's a lot of pressure for a 5 yro.
Plus growing without powers made Mirabel more emphatic and closer to the townspeople. If you pay attention during the movie you see instances of how separated the family is from everyone else. Especially towards the end when everything is going wonky the townspeople go to the house looking for reassurance that everything is fine. She was sort of a bridge between them all.
I feel like this is a great depiction of what I call legacy families. Families that feel that they have to push their legacy from one generation to another. And how it effects people. This represents my childhood so much. I am so happy Disney showed its toxicity.
Edit: If there are likes eventually I edited this before there were any. I added the last 2 sentences about my childhood and gratitude towards this film.
Another way to describe that is generational trauma, which is so common among immigrant families from all over the world. The older generation fled terror in their home, which is something they rarely discuss, but are also desperate to prevent from happening again. The younger generations often feel pressured to be perfect and live up to the older generation’s expectations because doing anything else disrespects the sacrifices the older generation made. Yet, at the same time, the younger generation chafes at their inability to deviate from those expectations.
Encanto demonstrates that dynamic so well. In the end, Abuela learned that she had to let go a bit and let her grandchildren live with less pressure, but, at the same time, Mirabel was able to fully understand what Abuela had lost and why she was so afraid of losing the miracle that had saved the family. Abuela wasn’t a villain; she suffered a tragedy and reacted like many people who have suffered great trauma. By telling her true story and Mirabel realizing the depth of Abuela’s loss, they were able to understand one another. That restored the family harmony and allowed the miracle to be restored.
@@jwsel my family isn't an immigrant family though and it still happened
Late to the party, but one thing I love most about this movie that I don't see a whole lot of people talk about is the difference between the story of how the miracle was created from the beginning of the movie to the end.
The story Abuela tells at the beginning is very sanitized and watered-down (dare I say... Disneyfied), appropriate for the five year old she's telling it to... her younger self looks vaguely sad when her husband dies, but it's not more than that. And for the most part, we don't see what's around her and her family. We don't see the burning, or most of the river, or how many people they're with as they flee. The magic is gentle.
At the end, it's so much more raw. We see people burning houses, we see that there are many people with them crossing the river. We see the sword in the hand of one of the riders... and Abuela's devastation when she watches her husband killed. The magic explodes from the candle and throws back the attackers. It's so much more intense and real and while the version at the beginning is a nice fairy tale to tell children, this is what Mirabel actually needed to hear in order to start understanding her grandmother's pain and trauma. Which she needed in order to begin the real healing process.
It's so good. Encanto might be my favorite movie of all time.
The music in Moana as well as Hamilton are both written by Lin Manuel Miranda, and both would be amazing for you to react to!
In the Heights too 🙏🏾
@@ENJvideo Stephanie Beatriz is in In The Heights (Rosa) so you might like that connection. It is a cute little movie.
So to answer some of your questions, this is set in Colombia which has a fairly recent history of some utterly brutal civil wars, literally neighbor against neighbor. That's what the Alma and Pedro Madrigal and the other refugees with them were running from. Abuela Alma has lived with the trauma of not only running from her own (former) neighbors but seeing them murder her husband. That trauma shaped her behavior, which in turn affected her children and then her grandchildren. Abuela is the antagonist but the real villain is generational trauma.
Why was the miracle dying? I think it was because Abuela was starting to value the gifts more than her own family members. And everyone was keeping secrets/pretending they're always fine, which is super unhealthy.
Why didn't Mirabel get a door? I think it's because the miracle chose her to "fix the cracks" that were already starting in her family. (There's a theory that Mirabel became her own door or internalized her gift because at her ceremony, after she touched the candle she touched her dress and then touched the doorknob. I have no opinion on this.)
What is Mirabel's power, since she got a door now? I think she's the new Keeper of the Miracle like Abuela was with the candle. (Mirabel and Abuela are the only ones to really interact with Casita.)
They show that it's Colombia towards the beginning of the movie, it's on the wall during the first song. Plus Carlos vive's song
It's funny you mention wanting a Luisa action figure. When Disney released the line of Encanto toys, they expected Isabella to be the best seller, so they overstocked her. Luisa sold out in record time.💪
I got a very small one but there's a $200 set on Amazon I've got my eye on lol
I love this movie, the fear that abuela has about losing everything again making her unintentionally hurt her family. It reminds me of my family and older generations. Having to to through trauma that they don’t get to process. Cry everything during the flashback.
I could see how emotional you got at certain points of this kids' movie from Disney.
Glad I'm not the only one
Lol cheers Coco got me too
Normally, you face your door alone. It's a testament not only to Antonio and Mirabel's relationship, but to Mirabel herself, that she chooses to be looked upon as even more of an outcast by not forcing Antonio to face an uncertain fate all alone.
Lemurs are from Madagascar. This film is set in Colombia. All the animals in the film are endemic to Central and South America. The animals you saw are coati/coatimundi. The other animals are jaguars, capybara, hummingbirds, butterflies, toucans, tapirs, pythons, and other animals found in Colombia. The butterflies and flowers are prominent in Colombian culture. Colombian Nobel Prize winning author and filmmaker Gabriel Garcia Marquez features these symbols as part of magical realism "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of his famous works.
Abuelo suffered demise from marauders who continue to this day to terrorize villages. These events occur in reality.
The film mentioned the location during the opening song. The family members clothing are identified by the colors of the Colombian flag. It's set in Colombia.
Did anybody notice that in the end of the movie when the magic came back it wasn't only confined to the house that it went through all the town and that the magic extends outside now?
It's set in Columbia with many Columbian artists in it. It's so beautiful. The hip hop is from Lin Manuel-Miranda who did all the music for Encanto and Hamilton which also has a lot of rap and hip hop in it! He's incredible.
My believe is that Mirabel was an Empath. She didnt get a room becauae that would seclude her from everyone. The more she broke the more the Casita broke.
This reminds me very much of a cartoon movie in the 70's called The Point by Harry Nillson. In it the main character is different from everyone else because he doesn't have a pointed head but the message of the film ultimately is "you don't have to have a point to have a point". And that is definitely the vibe I get here, " you don't have to have a power (or gift) to have a power, especially for good!" I really enjoyed this film as well, very beautiful and vibrant and fun. Others you might want to explore include Soul and Luca (more recent ones) and of course if you have never seen it Finding Nemo which takes place in Australia I believe!
There is never an exact explenation what the candle _is_ but it seems to have been born out of Abuelas grief and her desire to protect her children and her people (You can see that Pedro is elading the Villagers, suggesting that he had some sort of leadership role. When he died Abuela probably became the de facto leader). Over time, her unwillingness to let go of her grief made her hard and inflexible. Grief is born out of love, but she started to deny her Children and grandchildren that love out of fear to lose it all again.
The prevailing theory is that Mirabel is chosen by Casita to be the next head of the family. You may notice, abuela herself does not have a gift either and no one communicates as well with Casita as Abuela and Mirabel. It seems their 'gift' is an enhanced connection to casita and the miracle itself, not a direct magical manifestion
Encanto is inspired by Colombian culture. Abuela's story is based on the violence Colombia has suffered from 90s. Thousand of colombians had to leave their villages because of the violence, and of course, some people died. The yellow butterflies are inspired by the colombian winning Nobel book: 100 years of solitude.
Mirabel's gift is being the family therapist. She didn't get it when she was five because that would be horrible. She heals minds the way her mom heals bodies
Mirabelle's power is supposedly empathy to everyone.
I think the whole point is that Mirabelle was the miracle all along, like Pedro‘s spirit kind of went into her, not literally, but like she is the embodiment of who he was, and the love of the family, and all of that kind of symbolised the passing of the torch between Abuela and Mirabel as the candleholder or the one responsible for the magic.
Watch the musical Hamilton to experience Lin Manuel Miranda. 😁
I think I will actually
@@AdamfromFWCI Yes please! It would be awesome to see your reaction!
@@AdamfromFWCI Hamilfans will be here for it👍🏾
With over 40 songs and almost 3 hours, you may want to get suggestions from your subs on what songs to group together.
@@aj71169 wow! That's quite a project lol. It's been on my list for a whole so I'm very excited to watch it
There is an intermission halfway through so you don't need to feel intimidated. You can always break it into two 1.5 hour sessions. But it is hard to stop in the middle 😉
Funny that you mentioned a Slytherin character. I've always thought that the characters in this movie fit the house tropes really well. I'd say Lousia (the strong one that has to be of service and protect everyone), would be Gryfindor, Mirabel (the steadfast, steady, and loyal but seen as unexceptional one, as well as the nurturer and closest to the home), would be Hufflepuff, Bruno (the misunderstood, eccentric one, think Luna), would be Ravenclaw, and Isabella, (the somewhat snotty, but perfect at all times one with the high expectations), would be Slytherin.
I think Encanto is as much for people of all ages. At least the movie's message is for everybody. You need to watch the whole movie. My suggestion for a Disney movie is Moana! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Well ask and u shall receive! My Moana video went up on the weekend
@@AdamfromFWCI Thanks!
It’s interesting to hear your interpretation of what the candle represents - I think different people see it differently depending on their experiences. I’m not Columbian, but I am from a family that were displaced due to war and death. I view the candle as sort of the strength and drive to overcome the past’s pain. That message can get lost through the generations and the family can lose track of its origin. I think In the movie Mirabel becomes the family member that brings perspective back to the family so they can appreciate what they have.
It is pretty ambiguous but it's a very sweet plot device.
Thankyou you for checking out my video.
Mind if I ask how you found my channel?
@@AdamfromFWCI I think it was suggested to me based off of your Harry Potter reactions
I think it’s funny so many people have no idea where this movie is supposed to take place seeing as in the very first song there’s literally a huge wall with Columbia written on it.
If you think about it many of the gifts were actually sorta a curse.
Doloras was maybe the most prevalent one being able to hear everything. Throughout the movie every time she speaks it is a whisper because her talking regular would most likely hurt her ears. We see her finally speak normal after she loses her power. Also just think that she never has any peace and quiet hearing everything always at all time, even at night she would probably have issues sleeping hearing the rats in the walls and who knows what else if as she stated, she could hear Louisa’s eye twitching all night.
Pepa is basically forced to be happy at all times otherwise the weather turns bad and she gets scolded by Abuela to be happy. Also just think how she is constantly getting wet from the cloud raining on her.
Antonio might end up becoming a vegetarian since he can talk to animals and might have issues eating meat that use to be an animal he talked too. Also hearing all the animals talking all the time could cause sleeping issues like Doloras.
The other son who can change into other people probably has some identity crisis issues since everyone wants him to be someone else and expects him to do something to make them happy.
Louisa was pretty well shown that since she had super strength she was taken advantage of and everyone wanted her to be at their beck and call doing labor from sun up to sun set with no break.
Isabella was less her power and more Abuela expecting her to be perfect at all times which caused her to have an identity crisis because she couldn’t be herself and had to be what Abuela wanted her to be.
Maribels mother power didn’t have many drawbacks except that she probably had to constantly cook all the time to heal others.
Bruno’s power was prophecy but sadly everyone just saw the bad parts of his prophecies and blamed him for what happened even tho it wasn’t his fault at all.
I think many of them were happier without their gift or opened up to be more of who they truly are.
If you notice on mirabel’s dress.. she has all the powers of her family!! I love this movie and Lin Manuel Miranda did amazing on the songs!!
You should consider watching Rise of the Guardians. Very underrated.
You would get a kick out of Coco and Moana, I think. Maybe Tangled too, it's pretty good.
Tangled is coming soon too
I truly appreciate how much he is appreciating this movie! ❤
You knowm you are have been asking for movie recommendations of movies that have wrestlers in it, I would recommend Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride as a must viewing, if you haven't seen it. It's a really touching adventurous action film that you can see with your entire family. It has Andre the Giant in it playing a hilarious and endearing role. There are tons of stories about the film since it has suck a devoted fan base. It's one of my favorite films and I seen it several times.
Oooh yes!! I've been meaning to watch that for years
You should watch Coco! It's set around the Mexican Holiday Día de Muertos and that's on November 2 I think. You are just around the perfect time for that!
Btw! You know Mirabel is Rosa from Brooklyn 99?! [Another edit, I just now noticed you look for the credits 😅】
Gilly... you have great ideas. I'll do it
This movie takes place in Colombia. And what Abuela went through is something that used to be very common there due to conflict. Many people have been displaced in that country because of conflict.
You should definetly watch Rango!! Sooo good and beautiful! Underrated!
Can't believe I just saw this reaction! And you sir have very spot on reactions I really enjoyed it! Complimenting Lin-Manuel and liking hip hop only mean one thing: HAMILTON: American Musical. Best ever. If you enjoyed the hip hop music vibes of Encanto, Hamilton is for you no doubt 😌👌
I like a person who can appreciate what an absolute bomb-ass babe Luisa is.
There are dolls for her and her dolls have been outselling all the other characters. The funny thing is, the producers (Disney) wanted her to *not* be buff, to look like a "normal" woman, but magically super strong, but the designers/directors held their ground and now she's one of the most popular characters.
Also, It feels so weird that you're saying "I like hip-hop" and also "Lin Manuel Miranda, who?" Have you not heard of Hamilton? It's one of the biggest Broadway hits of the millennia so far. LMM is famous for telling this pseudo-historical biography in hip-hop form. Honestly, watch it, it *will* blow your mind.
Well buckle up because a Hamilton reaction is on the way.
I also reacted to LMM on the Always Sunny Podcast on this channel.
I'm a lot informed on him now lol.
Oh and I got my mini Luisa figure
@@AdamfromFWCI Can't wait!
I love re-experiencing shows, movies, and music that I love through these reaction videos. It's interesting to see if people catch the same things you did or come to the same conclusions.
I was going to recommend CoCo, which is another one that wrecks you emotionally, but I see that you're on top of it. XD
The old lady got me lol
I hope you will give "Moana" and "Hamilton: An American Musical" a try. Both are on Disney and both were written by Lin Manuel Miranda. He's a writing hero of mine. Very talented
I highly recommend Zootopia if you're looking for another recent Disney flick. It's a lot of fun and has themes that keep getting more relevant as the years go by.
I'll add it to the list
So many good films, tangled, frozen, Moana, coco, incredibles, ratatouille, Luca, turning red, inside out, Merida, finding Nemo, monsters inc, up, onward, WALL·E, zootopia, big hero 6, ice age the original, wreck it Ralph, the emperor’s new groove, dinosaur, Hercules, Tarzan, lilo & stitch, chicken little, rays and the last dragon, tinker bell. I included some older cause I don’t know at what point you stopped watching Disney animated films.
I think Mirabel getting a power would have been a cop-out storytelling-wise
I highly recommend listening to the soundtrack of this movie while wearing headphones. Songs like We Don't Talk about Bruno have some cool effects that are best appreciated with headphones. Also, you can get a bunch of videos out of reviewing them lol
"Bruno you need to get some fresh air." Lol... don't know why this cracked me up.
I find it amazing that the lady who voiced mirabel was pregnant and was going into labor while singing "waiting for a miracle"
lol wow thats crazy!
Amazing movie! Bruno and Dolores are my favorire characters! Yes, Wilmer Valderrama voices Agustin (Mirabel's dad).
Something I always wondered was about Antonio's leopard. Was it created by the magic cuz it's his favorite animal, or was there a wild leopard hanging around just waiting for an excuse to get chummy with people? Cuz I can't imagine the people it ran past to get to him were overly excited to see a giant predator in the house.
Please check Coco next,set in Mexico during the day ov the dead. I believe you will like it,also Moana, Zootopia...
Good news. It's already up ;)
I loved this movie. Coco is also an amazing story ❤
the movie is straight up set in Colombia (a bunch of locations are literal representations of famous Colombian landmarks and the architecture and costumes are recognisable as such).
the events that kick off the movie are the political troubles of the 1000 days war, during which a lot of poor people were forcibly displaced, as in, had to run for their lives to escape persecution and violence on political grounds.
the candle and it's magic, symbolised by the butterflies, don't have an explicit mechanic... they represent magical realism, a literary device that is part of Colombian culture.
what is very "real" is the generational trauma that is represented and affects every member of the family in different ways...
another element that is very recognisable is the matriarchal family, coupled with the need for younger generations to be the best they can, have a duty of care, and basically be in service of the family ... something many second generation (im)migrants are very familiar with.. especially if they move from poor countries to a rich one... having to honour the sacrifices made by those who made the move by working hard and trying your best is ingrained in many cultures, and a point of honour for many... that can lead to some very fraught relationships.
Abuela was hanging on for dear life to the candle, a magical device she had no real understanding of... anything that could put the magic, and the survival of her family, at risk, was a danger, something to avoid, distrust and try to ignore...
Mirabel is the first instance in which the candle flickers and almost goes out.... and when she asks Bruno to find an explanation, he abbandons the family.
Abuela probably spent most of her life torn by grief she never had the time to let go off (represented by her black shawl, which she puts on when Pedro dies, and only takes off at the end of the movie), fear of future loss, anxiety and a sense of obligation towards the family and the village at large.
all in all, it's a wonder she was only a cranky old woman set in her ways... she could just as well have gone batshit crazy.
It's a bit sad to see how many people got Mirabel's 'gift' wrong. Jared Bush, the main producer of Encanto, stated that (not word-for-word, my memory sucks) "Mirabel didn't get a Gift because she doesn't need one. She is without a Gift because that's who she is."
The message of the movie is that you don't need to be exceptional at something to be worth anything, or have a "Gift" in order to be seen as important. You just need to be yourself. Just like one line from the final song 'All Of You', "I think it's time your learned, you're more than just your Gift".
Mirabel doesn't have a Gift because she doesn't need one. It's as simple as that.
I love the fact this detail is left open ended. I kind of agree with people who said her gift was empathy. She uses empathy on all of her family throughout the movie so I kinda feel like thats her "power" (aka non power since Empathy is a human thing, not magic)
@@AdamfromFWCI But... it's not open ended. Mirabel literally does not have a Gift or a "hidden power". Jared Bush himself, who literally made the movie, said the explaination for her not having a Gift is simple; she doesn't need one. There's no secret Gift within her. She is a Gift, just like the rest of her family members. That's the entire message of the movie.
Generational trauma is a very sad fact and it goes on for, well, generations. My grandmother had some really traumatizing experiences in WW2 and it still affects our family today.
The house breaking was a physical manifestation of the cracks in the family. For instance you can see new cracks forming when Abuela is arguing with Mirabels parents because it's straining their relationship. Everyone was given a pretty raw deal in this movie but I Abuela had it the worst. Closely followed by poor Bruno who had to spend 10 years hiding in the walls. At least he had Dolores to help him.
Moana is a good suggestion. Not Disney, but if you want to do some more animated stuff how to train your dragon and Kung fu Panda is quite good if you haven't seen it already.
I recall seeing Kung Fu Panda a looooong time ago, i remember it being pretty fun.
Great suggestion though
I absolutely love this movie and I watched a lot of people react to it this is my first time seeing you come up and suggested but I absolutely want to watch you react to the Harry Potter series because I love watching people react to that series
Lol buckle up for that series. Apparently I had a pretty unique take on certain characters in the Potterverse lol
Yes, you got it! Mirabel will be the Abuela for future generations!
Some people are saying the bandits that kill Abuelito are part of the thousand days war.
Love love loved it!! I hope you watch Moana next, and yes! Luisa is also one of ky Dave, her song is my fav in the movie!
"is this on a nondescript Latin American country?" During the opening song we see a big shot of the word COLOMBIA in flowers and the song that plays at the end/during Antonio's door ceremony says "Colombia" like a million times lmaooooo
Ha, I love how he isn't intimidated by Luisa xD Nothing like a tall strong amazon 😏
My uncle was 50 when my cousin was born. He's 75 and still working.
I'm not usually a big Disney fan, but this one knocked it out of the park.
Colombia,la tierra del encanto.
Love that you recognized the capybara!
Wow! You nailed the ending. Mirabel will be the new caretaker of the house. It took me some research to understand that. Love this movie. I waited so long to watch it. And now I've seen it several times.
Well yea since all the songs were written by Lin Manuel Miranda
if you've never seen brave i HIGHLY suggest it! its a great movie!!!!
10:09, he snaps his fingers instead of clapping because his sister has super-hearing
It’s also a Colombian gesture
You should watch Moana, Frozen, Despicable Me. You're welcome 😉
@Cio Lake it's a similar vibe to Disney movies but yeah it's a different studio it's still definitely worth a watch
the family harmony is the source of the candles magic.
Loved how obsessed you were with Luisa lol😂❤
Lol she just made it into the 2023 intro for the channel lol
loved your reaction tp this (and your surprise at who voices Mirabel LOL)
If you decide to watch Up, I implore you: do so with tissues!
If you really want to hear Rosa, listen to the sentence, "Am I fighting or hugging"...
Some of the actors are from Colombia and others are Colombian-American.
I really don't feel sorry for Abuela. Her kids(Bruno, pepe, and mirabels mom) are estimated to be in their late 30s to early 40s, and she knew the miracle was dying. She had all that time to fix it, but her pride got in the way.
I don’t know if you know this, but Mirabel is Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa Diaz) from Brooklyn 99. I was shocked when I found that out
You wanted suggestions for Disney, and Pixar. To be honest I usually like the Pixar films much better than Disney. The latest Pixar I didn't care for much. But the movie Luca, is my favorite Pixar film. Onward it super good. What I think is Pixar's absolute masterpiece is the movie Coco. You will really enjoy reacting to any of these. They are all emotional, and all have good messages within. I liked all of them more than Encanto. That said Encanto is one of my favorite movies. It is the best Disney has made in recent years, and they have made several excellent movies.
Well, in a couple of days I'm sure you'll "Remember Me" and check back for my reaction to the amazing Mama Coco :D
If you want something more classic I would recommend "A goofy movie" its more or less Goofys way of
dealing with being a single dad to a teenage boy.
Don't get fooled by the name, its a lot of deep scenes and heavy moments, its a GREAT movie
The leopard she gave him in the nursery came alive once he got his gift..
If you've ever heard or seen the musical Hamilton, Lin Manuel Miranda did that as well!
There's another movie you should check out called in the Heights it's based off of lin-manuel Miranda's first Broadway musical that went big before Hamilton p.s. and Camilo's verse of we don't talk about Bruno it was a reference and a nod to Bruno's original design back when he was called Oscar he was originally supposed to be 7 ft tall balding with rats all over him
"The magic is strong! (And so are the drinks!)"
Abuela, are you implying that your fifteen-year-old granddaughter is drunk?
Love your reactions 👏🏻
This movie is taking place in Colombia.
this film is actually set in 1950s collumbia
Antonio is a Disney princess
Have you seen How to Train your Dragon? You would love it!
I actually have not. I think I might be ready too though
welcome back to Disney!
It's been a fun journey so far. Encanto and Tangled are my favourites, with Coco close behind

Hamilton…You Have to watch Hamilton.
I’m sure I’m not the only one to say this.
Lol you are not. Its on the list ;)
@@AdamfromFWCI you wont regret it
That's not a leopard this is South America that's a jaguar leopards are not as heavy as them and they're from the old world Africa and Asia jaguars look pretty similar but they're much heavier and able to take down much bigger prey and they also kill a different way they go for a bite to the head when basically every other type of cat goes for the throat these things I s*** you not can take down payment which are the South American crocodilian
