ENCANTO (2021) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@ReadingOne]

I just love that when the house starts collapsing and the candle tips over, Isabela and Camilo look like they're rushing to help Mirabel and not to grab the candle...since we don't see either of them start moving until Mirabel's already on her way to the candle...and when she's in there alone, we don't hear anyone call for her to get the candle, they all just call for her to get out and to leave the candle. They cared about *her*, not the candle or the miracle.

[@mrflickswatches]

Nice catch !!

[@billyytac4294]

Could be. Or it could be that both Camilo and Isabela rush in to save the candle so Mirabel didn’t have to.

[@Blue_Ninja_Lover]

@@billyytac4294 that could be true too... That would just show that they care about the candle a lot too.

[@StoryMing]

It’s not just, _she gave them back their gifts._ Think of Mirabel’s impact on her family through the whole movie: Antonio was nervous for his big day. She got him to his door. Luisa was carrying way too much; she got her to open up about her burdens. Bruno was ostracized and alienated from the family; she reached out and brought him home. Isabela felt stuck, trapped having to be perfect; she inspired her to explore what else she could do- and be. Abuela had deep unhealed trauma from the past; Mirabel opened her eyes, not only to the effect this was having on the rest of the family, but also to a way forward. Mirabel is the glue binding the family together- the new, living embodiment of the candle which went out in her hands. She didn’t get a door when she was small, because her door is the front door. She interacts and has a relationship with Casita in a way that none of the rest of the family does except Abuela; and she is the one who will inherit Abuela’s position as keeper of the family miracle, when Abuela passes on.

[@tracyreeves4551]

it sounds like her gift was empathy. she was able to see somewhat of everyone's emotional cracks and was able to help them...

[@tiawilliams5690]

Yes to everything except she's already inherited the role. Abuela protected the candle (which is now gone) but we never quite see her interact with the house the way Mirabel does.

[@GlennWH26]

Mirabel is Abuela's successor. Like her grandmother, she has no gift, but does have a special bond with the house. She is the source of the gifts now. The Encanto (Enchantment) originally came from Abuela Alma's grief and desire for safety; it was renewed by Mirabel's love and desire for growth and acceptance.

Bruno's power was to tell the future, not to give solutions to problems. So when he showed Mirabel hugging Isabella, it's because it was going to happen, not because he was providing the answer to the problem.

[@danasadventures1194]

Wow

[@destinyswanigan1854]

The anger I feel when I see people react to this and say “so it wasn’t supposed to be Isabella”. Yes it was Bruno says the visions were out of order you see the butterfly landing on the grass and then you see the mirabel hugging Isabella. It was supposed to happen they were two separate events. His visions arent wrong ever but you can usually do something to make or not make it happen. She needed to embrace the whole family and fix her relationship with all of them. I’m even sure talking to Luisa about her pressure problem helped a bit. The house is tied to mirabels feelings. The cracks Bruno were patching for years was mirabel bottling up how she was feeling and when she started to show them the cracks started to show. Hugging Isabella was working and the house probably would’ve been fine if her abuela would’ve stopped and listened

[@annaschwirian7548]

Her power is Balance. She listens and can help the family balance. Honestly she becomes the candle

[@lifeofahecticmama8406]

There is a lot of discussion that Mirabel will be the next ‘keeper of the gift’ after Abuela passes. Each characters clothing represents their powers, and both Mirabel and Abuelas dresses are covered in butterflies. They are also the only 2 who ever talk to The house directly.

[@frazzlekat3110]

I think that Mirabel is supposed to replace Abuela as the head of the family. Someone must guard the candle and communicate with the house. And the house specifically asked Mirabel for help.

[@elliesue23]

Fun fact: Stephanie Beatriz (Mirabel) did her final take of “Waiting on a Miracle” when she was 9 months pregnant 😮 and went into labour a few days later

[@GoddessGirl2121]

Mirabel’s gift is that she’s the one that brought the family together and when Abuela passes on Mirabel is going to be the head of the family that keeps the community together.

[@talkingwithtyvethia7283]

Mirabel’s gift is the same as her grandmother’s technically nothing but actually the keeper of the house! The house speaks to her! And he is the new glue

[@milenefontelas]

I saw somewhere that Mirabel not having a power means that she's the "next abuela", like, her gift is to be the lider of the family. Like you said, she's the glue keeping the family together.

[@SilverionX]

Mirabel had to embrace both Isabela and Abuela. The cracks in the house were the physical manifestation of the cracks in the family. That's why the house cracks more when Abuela and Mirabel's parents argue and heals when Isabela and Mirabel make up. It's just the biggest rift was between Mirabel and Abuela and their argument finally breaks the family, and the house, in two. It's my favorite Disney movie and possibly my favorite movie ever.

[@syurjevic]

Her door is the front door of the house, she’s the heart of the family, that’s her gift.

[@theotherjake]

And Abuela is a caterpillar. Wait, what…

[@mariondaim4491]

Mirabel have the same gift as her grandmother she can talk to the house "she's the heart of the house", when they both fight that what made the house broken down and her door was the door of the house not just a room she may be the next to take care of the power for the next generations like Abuela have done .

[@timkruse9912]

yup, she's the heir, the house is her room,

[@daisy3525]

It was Isabela she had to hug because by realizing that Isabela had been suppressing her real self this whole time, and it was tearing her apart, Mirabel was able to realize what was wrong with the family, and why the miracle was dying in the first place. It wasn't random. She had to heal her family, and for that, she had to Hear them, properly, and see how they were all struggling.

[@daisy3525]

Of course, the thing with abuela was also important, but keep in mind, Bruno's gift is to see the future, not specifically to give solutions, and his vision was right. She did hug Isabela, and the candle did grow brighter. It was just one part of the puzzle.

[@mrflickswatches]

Thank you for this clarification 🙏🏼🤍 me and her both enjoyed this very much

[@em5522]

Plus, Bruno explained that his visions weren't always in order. So, Mira hugging her abuela was in his vision too. At one point, just before Isa is shown, you can see an incomplete outline of Alma before the image shrinks down to a much clearer outline of Isabela hugging Mirabel.

[@Yugioh420]

Her specific thing is the power of heart. Think of her like Hestia from Greek mythology she has the power of home. She makes a house a home, a town a community and a group of relatives into a family

[@marro1998]

mirabel is the next generation leader of the house and to protect the ‘ encanto power ‘ mirabel power is just like her grandmother power.

[@leandrodavidgarcia5711]

She is the new guardián of the magic, she is the new abuela. That is her gift

[@WaryJester]

Isabella WAS the person in Bruno's vision of the candle. If Mirabel didnt break through her issues (like she did with Louisa), then she wouldnt have confronted her Abuela. The vision was about her hugging Isabella and making the candle burn, which it did. The stuff with Abuela at the river is caused by Mirabel's decision.

[@danaesiaterrell519]

I think her purpose wasn’t to hug Isabella, but to help her power grow like Bruno predicted. If you pay close attention to the vision, the silhouette is of her grandma. The candle lighting higher, then nothing changing is what pushed mirabel to realize that her issues with her sister weren’t what was causing the house to crumble

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

Mirabella's POWER/GIFT is she gives the family HOPE and HER DOOR is the FRONT DOOR of the House. She is the NEXT Leader of the Family basically Grandmas Position.

[@tenaciouspadma]

the way i saw it all was that mirabel would be the next matriarch of the family, the keeper of gifts or something. i picked up on that a little when she told antonio you're an animal person and then his powers were centered around animals. i felt she had a bigger connection to everyone's gifts instead of just the one gift even though she herself couldn't have one?

[@CafeDeDuy]

Bruno’s vision still stands true. It’s supposed to be Isabela that Mirabel is supposed to hug. The embrace wasn’t about abuela. Every family structure and connection had to be fixed, and Mirabel-Isa’s had to be fixed. Bruno also said his vision is out of order. What he saw was destruction of the house with Mirabel in it, the butterfly, the hug, and Isabel. The order ended up being: Isabel, the hug, the destruction, then the butterfly

[@BetangaX]

I think the initial body features for the person that Mirabel was supposed to fight/embrace in the vision look more like Abuela's than Isabella's. I figure that represents she needs to embrace both, but since she also will have a fight with Abuela at first, Bruno is confused between fight and embrace.

[@CafeDeDuy]

@@BetangaX honestly, we’d love to see Mirabel fighting both. Give Mirabel the respect she deserves.

[@BetangaX]

@@CafeDeDuy And a quick scolding to her parents as well. Anyway at the end of the movie I think Mirabel has not only the respect of her entire family, but the whole town as well.

[@jehn1407]

Well it's actually a really important gift. If you think about it, she will be the next Abuela; the person in charge. They are going to respect her because she is the reason they has their gift, I mean abuela doesn't have one her self. Yet people still respect her because of not only the hardships she went through, but the miracle she holds. She is the foundation of casita, and Mirabel is too. That's why the cracks happened when they fought, and that's why the house reawakened when Mirabel put the door knob in. If anyone else were to touch the door I'm sure the house wouldn't have been sentient again.

[@_Edwin_]

Yeah, I agree, also Mirabel and Abuela are the only ones who talk to Casita.

[@kaitlinmotta7653]

She’s is the successor to the house. She will take abuelas place as she passes. She is the only (besides abuela) that speaks to casita.

[@Yugioh420]

Another way to think of it is she is kind of like Hestia in that she makes the house a home, she has the power of heart. The power of family

[@JennyMorash]

Mirabel doesn't need a gift to be special or "useful". That's the whole point. I'd have been super disappointed if she had gotten one, and I'm impressed they didn't cave and do that. Also, Abuela has no gift. Mirabel is the next matriarch. Like Abuela. The glue holding it all together, look at how she helped Luisa, Isabella and Bruno, and finally Abuela, just by listening.

[@johnobrien7562]

yes! the way both Alma and Mirabel wave to the casita. And Mirabel is helping heal from the trauma that always left Abuela too afraid to let her children and grandchildren fully thrive. And the Encanto itself needed the Madrigals to lose their magic to learn they can do things themselves instead of relying on the family's gifts too.

[@anahi_naya_ledesma]

Mirabel is the new guardian of the miracle. She will be the one who delivers the gifts to the next generations. Her door is the main door of the Madrigal house. The name "Mirabel" means "The one who sees with a beautiful gaze". That is, she is able to see the essence of others and bring out the best in other people.

[@CrazyJodice]

Who else think La Cassita is grandpas spirit continuing to shelter, protect, and provide for his family and wife

[@Kaybri0526]

I still think that Mirabel is the next Abuela. Abuela doesn’t have a gift but because the candle’s magic came from her, she’s in charge of it. At the end of the movie when mirabel puts the doorknob in place, SHE’s at the front of the family and HOLDING THE CANDLE. So I guess her gift is maintaining the magic itself.

[@ieshagames]

I agree. I was just saying this in my comment as well. This was a beautiful movie.

[@Nancydrew301]

23:00 like bruno said the vision was out of order. It probably was abuela that she was hugging at first but then the vision shifted back to what needed to happen first. It was only because of her and Isabella having fun and getting along that gave mirabel the strength to stand up to abuela when she tried to once again blame her for bad things happening.

[@annecdlf1579]

Bruno's vision wasn't wrong. Mirabel had to embrace Isabela for the next part to happen

[@rpottage]

Mirabel's power is Casita. Her door vanished from inside because her door is the front door and her power comes from her love from her family which is why her entire family is on her door.

She's not the first Disney main movie character with glasses (Milo from Atlantis was the first, then Chicken Little, then Lewis from Meet the Robinsons). However she is the first female main character to wear glasses and if she becomes selected to be apart of the Disney Princess lineup come the future that she would be the first to wear glasses also (In Ralph Breaks the Internet a concept of Snow White wearing glasses 'backstage' as she reveals she's near sighted would of made her be the first but that idea and concept got abandoned). As a person that needs to wear glasses she excited me for being a glasses wearing main character also and she became a character I adored.

Mirabel is the Miracle (that pronunciation thing is no coincidence). And also Abuela’s replacement as chief, since they both have no apparent gift other than comunicating with the house and getting/restoring the Encanto.

[@ieshagames]

They say that Mirabel didn’t get a door because Casita was supposed to be her door. That’s why when the house glowed at the end it was a sign that the house was Mirabel’s miracle. It was also a way to tell everyone that Mirabel is supposed to take abuelita’s place as patriarch because the grandmother was also the other person in the family who didn’t have a special gift.

[@Huge_XG-Xpop_Stan]

I felt SO dumb after realizing Dolores (the cousin with the super hearing btw) could hear Bruno THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME and she mentioned that she heard him in the walls in one of the songs!!!😭

[@mrflickswatches]

Right !! Lol

[@s.n.11]

And she listened “the rats talking in the walls” worrying about the magic too. Probably it was Bruno, because she can’t understand the animals. But it seems the whole family ignores the most of what she is saying and nobody wants to “talk about Bruno” so she was probably tired of trying to say he was there.

[@pacio49]

There are two women in the house who don't have magic gifts. One is Mirabel, and the other is Abuela. Both women's magical power is the Candle. Abuela brought the magic when Abuelo Pedro died to light the way for the next generation. Mirabel got no room in the Old Casita because Abuela was occupying the only space for the glue of the family. But in the new house, Abuela steps aside some and acknowledges her granddaughter's contribution. We didn't see a room for Mirabel specifically, but her Door was the Front Door. She represents the next generation of the Abuela's role. And if you think about it, Mirabel is the one who manifests all of the family powers in turn. She might not have the weather, but her moods revealed the Cracks. Only she could see inside Bruno's vision to find deeper meaning. She's strong like Luisa, and graceful like Isabella. She is in tune to everything happening around her like Dolores. And she knows or learns how to speak to everyone in their preferred language style like Antonio. She is capable of changing on a dime to become what is needed in the moment like her shapeshifting cousin. And where her mother heals the body with food, Mirabel heals the soul (Abuela "Alma", literally Soul) with her heart. And she steers and guides the whole family like Abuela. She doesn't have one gift, she has all of them. And the town relates to her because she's "normal" like they are, even though she's a centerpiece in the Amazing Madrigals. The one thing that didn't reappear at the end was the Candle. The light of the miracle is now in the Family, and it's embodied by Mirabel until she has a grandchild of her own to take over as the Matriarch of the family. New magic gifts for new children in the family will now come from holding hands with Mirabel (and Abuela while she survives) before opening a Door.

[@yarielvargas7011]

Always remember: the best ending for a character is always the one they deserve, not the one they want. That's why Mirabel not getting a power is the best for her

Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle to the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle fixes it.The whole house is her room. And The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift.

[@bryan-cf1bf]

Abuela didn’t have a power either. But she was the head of the family. I believe that mirabel showed that she will be the next head of the family. May not be a gift per se but probably the most important role in the family

[@dehro]

Isabela looks a lot like abuela Alma when she was young.. that's where (intentionally) the confusion comes from, in the vision. and Maribel's door is the main door to the house.. she "is" the family and she will take Alma's place when she passes away

[@sarahamirasamsulbahrin6816]

Fixing the relationship with the sister was important to understand that even the perfect golden child is living a life she never wanted. By breaking free from the image of the golden child, we can see that abuela blames mirabel for everything. Thus causing a crack in their relationship.

[@lilynixt5721]

basically the plot of the movie was the miracle was granted to abuela alma in that moment because all she wanted was to protect her family, and so the miracle gave her casita as a home and her children gifts to protect themselves, however she saw this miracle as her second shot, and would do anything to keep it. she lost sight of the fact that the miracle was for her children, not for her and her reputation- they should get to do what they wanted with it, not be forced to spend every waking moment being exactly what abuela wanted and doing everything they could for the town. they should make their own choices and take breaks. of course, no one in the family realized it until it finally clicked for mirabel when she understood that it wasn’t just luisa taking on too much, putting herself under pressure, not just isabela having an idea of what is supposed to be perfect, but abuela forcing them to do this after she yelled at mirabel. the cracks were (supposedly) from every time that abuela had a bad thought about a member of the family, like “mirabel is a disgrace” or “bruno better get his act together or else” because those were moments where she no longer wanted the best for her family. at the end, mirabel is the one to open the door and supposedly the one to now carry the job that abuela once did, of handing out gifts and representing the madrigals. but hey, remember, thats justa. theory, A FILM THEORY!

[@mrflickswatches]

Sounds pretty accurate to me 👀

[@AngelJD]

Mirabel's 'door' is the front door of the house. Indicating that she will become the new family matriarch. Also the family on the outside looked perfect but internally there was 'cracks' forming. Like Mirabel who might smile but is really not fine inside. Everybody had some sort of issue that in time will need to be addressed. Much stemming from the grandmother's trauma that just stemmed down (aka they needed a new foundation). Mirabel power is family importantly making sure they are ok and happy as people plus the house is now her domain while they have rooms housed within ('let us in kid').

[@laenaeverwood7453]

I think it was Isabella hugging Mirabel in the vision, since it was actually showing future events but jumbled. The hug, the butterfly on the grass and the candle falling.

The vision was of isabela because helping isabela was a necessary step in seeing what was causing the miracle to die. Isabela looks similar to Abuela and Mariano kind of looks like Abuelo, which is why Abuela wants them to get married and be the "perfect" couple. it's not until after finding out that Isabela never wanted to be perfect and that it is Abuela pushing that life onto her that Mirabel sees it is Abuela that is causing them to lose the miracle

[@unvoicedapollo3318]

So here's my theory (spoilers): Bruno's vision wasn't either/or. The cracks in the house where symbolic of the cracks in the family. Getting the issues out to the point of the house crumbling was necessary for the grandmother to see how she was in the wrong. It took Mirabel to reassure the grandmother and heal what is broken (something she said she couldn't do in "Waiting on a Miracle). The house had to crumble so the family could rebuild with a new foundation.

[@dcaslick]

The vision has multiple parts that were out of order. Bruno himself mentions it’s out of order. Mirabel did hug Isabela in the vision, but it wasn’t what was going to happen last. It was however a necessary step on the path to saving the magic.

[@joaovictorm.revoredo9513]

Throughout the movie you can see she is the only one besides abuela that talks to the house

[@laticiadavis8627]

Imo "the book of life "was more like cocoa,because they had a similar subject matter.

[@jasont3348]

whenever yall wanna say something always pause what you're watching, you're missing a lot of good parts

[@Cedricccccccc]

her gift is "family" if you think about it, because of Mirabel that Isabela broke from her "little miss perfect" persona she didn't like, she help Luisa to relax and not carry all the family burden and asking for help isn't a bad thing, and she also help Abuela to realize that "the the miracle is you, not some gift just you", and Isabela and Dolores's prophecy came true because of Mirabel.

I've been watching reaction after reaction of this movie because it's so awesome and it just occurred to me that Bruno is the same voice as Sid the Sloth from Ice age.

Yeah I didn’t know until someone told me! And I love the ice age movies !

I love your interpretation of Mirable’s power I think Mirable is basically the candle

[@greekmillennial4540]

Well obviously giving Mirabel powers would go against the movie’s message. The writers are saying it’s beside the point whether she gets a gift, she’s still an important part of the family

[@YourXavier]

And she does get a door: The front door that everyone comes through. Her gift is the ability to heal the family.

[@Jaws-yl8np]

Throughout the movie she also didn’t really seem that upset that she didn’t get a super ability. More like she just wanted acceptance and appreciation from her family instead of a gift which is exactly what she gets in the end.

Encanto has many different meanings. In this context it means charm.

[@beatrizmn]

I have the feeling that when this guy watches Hamilton he will totally freak out LOL

[@scream7709]

The way I saw it, Mirabel did get a gift technically, because the gifting ceremony played out the way Antonio's did. And since the inside of the door is what your gift is special to, that means Mirabel's gift is the family and the house. After all, the house only really responds to Abuela and Mirabel the most, the two people without a "gift". They both probably share the same gift, to be the glue that holds the Encanto

[@Iamwoman27]

No! Ya'll! Look! Mirabel IS the miracle. She's the embodiment of the candle. She is the hope. She brought the family together. The house listens to her. Her door is the house!

[@addictedtoJB]

Isabella actually closely resembles a young abuela, which, in my opinion, is why they were confused with 1 another. That or Bruno's gift can only see the individual's next important scenario/life event

[@ninjasjams3776]

she doesnt have the door but she has the whole house 0w0

[@BdeezyGaming]

Movie was amazing ! Soundtrack was even better! 🤍

[@lilybethkuhn9650]

Mirabele has a gift. She is next to the throne for being the ruler of the house and family. Abuela doesn’t have a gift either just she is the one who makes sure things are working out and being done and that’s what mirabele has. She was on the front of the photo on the door at the end and her door was the house. Also she can talk to the house/ understand it

[@angelboy147]

Encantado means like affected by magic. As in under a spell or charmed. It also means something delightful.

[@TideChef]

Disney movie’s core is family. In most of their movies it’s very prominent but even if it’s not then they’re usually about finding a place where you belong/can be accepted. Alice in Wonderland, Wreck it Ralph, Wallee

[@unvoicedapollo3318]

As for homework, that all depends on what you mean by "family oriented". Cinderella & Tangled is about escaping your only known toxic family. But family is still a present theme. "Family oriented" is top general a term without more defining elements.

[@mrflickswatches]

True true ! I guess it was just me stating there aren’t very many of them that doesn’t focus on family good or bad. But … that’s ok that’s also why most of love these movies. They all have that in common but are all still different movies. I’ll love Disney forever

[@johnnsip5431]

In every Diney movie, the heroe makes his journey with a sidekick but Mirabel, as in real life, she makes her journey alone. Another interesting thing is that in Disney movies the color green is for evil magic, but Colombia is a country where green is the king of colors, from emeralds to the vegetation that covers everything, that is why the future it looks green. You may be surprised to learn that all landscapes are real, for example, that river really exists and is called Caño Cristales or the river of 5 colors or liquid rainbow. The valley also exists and is called the Valle de Cocora. There is also a little town called Salento, you can also search for Feria de las Flores in Medellín or Puente de Boyacá or Chiquinquira Church. Every building, animal, plant, flower, color and object are real. You may also be interested in watching this video about "El Encanto Nature Reserve" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnvVqYCniNCDZ5I Mirabel did not get a gift because she was already born with him, she is the heir to the power of the grandmother, the power to unite and protect everyone. The Grandma´s story is the story of 99% of Colombian families. Due to the political violence of the last 100 years, some family member has had to live exactly the same situation. Despite all the difficult situations, Colombians can still say that we are happy and that my house is also your house. Disney thanks for showing us to the world as we are without stereotypes and Thank you for your reaction.

[@weirdbunmi]

21:07: "I hope you're happy. I hope you're happy, Abuela." My brain: "I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever! I hope you think you're clever!"
