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.

Its actually very subtle: her gift is the same as Abuela Alma's. She's connected to the house and family 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!

Also for Isabela’s case, I think you missed her point of being stuck perfect. She’s constantly being put into high expectations into being this perfect, elegant, golden child and she feels pressured to please the people around her. She sees Mirabel as someone who’s free of expectations while she has to keep up with high expectations. In the song, she’s exploring her identity and goes beyond this perfect facade and is finally being true to herself.

[@redhead0122]

Doesn’t help either that Mirabel kinda gives her crap for being the perfect one until she realizes how much she actually gave up for the family. Makes it not easier. I loved seeing her character. I related to her as this is exactly why my sister and I can’t get along.

[@bintangmeneroka]

@@redhead0122 Yup! Isabela’s character and her relationship with her sister is so realistic to me and I immediately related to her as the eldest sister in my family. I’m really glad she’s not some shallow mean sister and is actually someone who has depth and realistic flaws and struggles.

[@francinev3971]

yes! her relationship with mirabel is actually how jealous siblings end up when they grew up with someone like abuela and their family dynamic in general. her insulting mirabel and using mirabel's insecurities is shitty but that's the point. she was being shitty to mirabel just like how mirabel misunderstood her because she didn't have the courage to even understand her own self. she did realize what she was doing was wrong though and reconciled with mirabel (something a lot of siblings could only wish for)

[@ambriaashley3383]

Yes. But we gotta admit for most of this movie she was mean 🤣🤣 I was mean to my younger sister at times for the exact same reasons/pressures, I admitted it, & I have apologized for (most) of those incidents lol

This movie is very much for us Latinos, Abuela isn't a monster or evil in any way, she has real trauma from war, imperialism etc, the only way she copes is by making sure she never loses another loved one, and in typical fashion a lot of us would much rather fix our family than simply cut them off. She's a reflection of many of our parents and grandparents and I hate how so many people are reducing her to the "evil" character.

[@anacarolina9071]

Thank you! I'm so tired of people treating abuela as this irredeemable villain, and ignoring all her trauma. Encanto is clearly about generational trauma, there is no villain, and somehow people didn't understand that.

[@bluewolf6323]

I love Abuela...I saw instantly that she wasn't a bad guy, she's just following a tradition and stand point she set up and trauma clouded the fact that her tradition and stands are toxic. Even when I saw Isabela, I didn't see her as annoying or an antagonist, because I've seen this trope before. She's a teen who's whole life is 'perfect' and trying so hard to keep that image. Hell, she wants approval so much that she's willing to lower her sister so that she can be more 'perfect'. They both needed to see that imperfections are perfect in life.

[@bookwormer9130]

she was classed as the antagonist, she wasn't irredeemable but she didn't treat Mirabel well, with no actual excuse other than she's hurting family members because she doesn't want to lose them. forgivable but not forgettable.

[@anacarolina9071]

@@bookwormer9130 She still tried her best, even if it wasn't enough, and at the end she chose the path of healing because she realized how badly she had hurt her family. That's how you end the cycle of generational trauma. It's a solid Latino family representation.

[@kenna_elyse]

isabela’s storyline is my fave. she’s the eldest grandchild & looks the most like abuela so she’s clearly her favorite. abuela has been putting pressure on isa to be perfect since birth because she wants isa to live the perfect life that she wasn’t able to! even down to wanting her to marry mariano who resembles abuelo pedro. abuela lives vicariously through isabela & it’s not until abuela addresses her past trauma & grief that she’s been pushing down that she’s able to view isa as her own person & give her the freedom to live her own life

[@silverstarlightproductions1292]

That's a good point. I also read on Internet, she's not only the eldest sister but also the oldest grandchild of Abuela

[@miss8054]

Ok but I love Isabela. Yes she’s a bit too harsh to her sister but I think it’s because she envy’s the fact that Mirabel can do so much wrong and be “imperfect” it not matter much whilst she has to always be perfect and be the family’s golden child. Which would include marrying someone you don’t want to marry for the sake of the family. I get that being perfect might seem like a dream but it just makes you miserable since you can’t truly be yourself and you can’t slip up once.

[@redhead0122]

So true. And then on top off that to be hated for that. Because no one sees how much you are giving up for everybody else . Just so devestating to never be able to act out your feelings and test boundaries. I really appreciated them showing it in this movie and going deeper than the classical mean perfect girl. So relatable since this is exactly the conflict I have with my younger sister.

I watched this with my mother and she called it "lacking" even while I had tears streaming down my face. I think a bunch of toxic people (especially parents) are just confused that the movie doesn't validate them and instead tells them to get their shit together.

[@ezjimenez]

Abuela was never the villain. the “villain” is intergenerational trauma. Abuela suffered so much in her life that she was doing what she thought was best to protect her family. yes, she ended up hurting them more than helping them, but the point was not to demonize Abuela. It was that the cycles of passed-down trauma that are so normalized in Hispanic culture need to be broken by recognizing them and changing them.

[@NarfiRef]

@Creepy Girl Exactly. She couldn’t even see what she was doing to the family until Mirabel stood up to her, because no one had ever done that before. Everyone else either suffered in silence, or just disappeared like Bruno.

[@memyselfandi7782]

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.

[@camhoyos]

I am from Colombia and there are several things to tell. The clothes are inspired by traditional Colombian clothing (each region has its style and the movie shows them) and the music has different styles for the same reason. The places that are shown in the film are places in Colombia, for example the house is located in the Valle del Cocora where you can see the wax palms and you can also see the coffee and banana plants, and the river refers to caño cristales also known as the river of 5 or 7 colors. These are all things you can only see in Colombia

[@RabbitsFunWorld]

Not to mention, during the first song, you can literally see a house that says Colombia on it. 😂

I was always interested in traveling to different countries and Encanto made me so curious for Colombia.

Also, the culture seems so familiar to the Turkish culture that I grew up with. Food and family being the most important things 😂

I love all the different messages in this movie. Luisa learned you don't always have to be strong and can take a break from time to time Abuela learned you can't expect everyone to be the perfect family members and there will always be flaws Isabella learned that you don't have to be perfect 24/7 and you can be yourself and let your feelings be known to others.

[@RiaDae]

My theory for Mirabel's power is hidden in symbolism throughout the movie. The only other person in the family that doesn't have magic is her abuela. I believe Mirabel didn't receive a door because her room is currently occupied. The reason the door lit up at the end was to symbolize the magic/miracle being restored and the family being mended. If anything I believe Mirabel's power is actually to take over as being the "holder of the miracle" like her abuela is before her. In the final door you see abuela behind Mirabel. In the rooms at the beginning Mirabel's room is directly across from the "courtyard". Honestly if they went that route it would make a lot of sense for Disney to make a sequel. I dunno, just a theory of mine.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Love this

[@hahaha4556]

Thank you! People are so obsessed with giving her a magic power or assuming she has a sort of magical connection to Casita that they completely ignore Abuela is also technically Giftless even though she had a door of her own. I’d bet you anything when Alma passes away her door will reset and Mirabel will inherit it.

[@windwhisper2456]

🤦 THANK YOU

[@WulfysGamingTidbits]

I've been waiting for you to do this one. Surface Pressure literally broke me as an older sibling. Like having all of that pressure on you and having to internalize your fears, worries, and anxieties while putting on a mask of happiness is the toughest thing. As a teen I was like, give it all to me, I can handle it, don't worry I got this, I can get through anything because that's my job. What I love is that this movie has someone that everyone can relate to. Some of us feel massive amount of pressure, some of us strive for perfection because that's what's expected of us, some of us sacrifice everything for our families, and some of us don't know our place or feel like an outcast. This movie really shows that it's okay to just be a person, that feeling broken, used, upset, or overwhelmed is okay.

[@MoviesinDepth]

[@lisemzarate4029]

My favorite thing about Luisa's song is that her voice in the beginning sounds like she's trying to be aggressive and as the song progresses she sounds lighter and higher and more natural, like she's trying less and feeling more, this move is precious.

[@philipseven9215]

18:27 I understand why you said you don't care about Abuela's past, but it's kind of (a bit) undermining what they're depicting, which is a very real issue Colombians faced AND still face, about people being internally displaced forcibly due to violence or other factors, and it's taken a toll or had repercussions on further generations with how matriarchs, like Abuela in the movie, tend to act and put pressure on the family in fear of experiencing the same again and losing everyone. It's intergenerational trauma. It's meant to be something to care about, although it's still understandable it must've been with the narrative and execution while some people feel that way and just see Abuela negatively, but I personally didn't.

[@NewLeif]

THISS! The whole point is to understand her past and how the trauma affected everyone’s lives in the long run. HOW could you not care about that?

[@mycroft16]

We are the sum of our experiences and learning. And Abuela has had some extremely traumatizing experiences. She built her life on those as all she knew.. solved them the only way she could. Being hurtful for what you feel are the right and good reasons. It's a crazy movie taken in light of the psychological trauma.

[@anatimonet269]

You simping for Luisa might be the most relatable sh*t I've ever seen and I love it. Also, Luisa's song speaks to my heart because it really is difficult being the older sibling. Having all these expectations that you have to fullfil and, if you don't do them or you do it wrong, you are seen as a failure.

[@camhoyos]

The film also shows the family union that is a pillar of Colombian families (there are always exceptions) and when it shows that the grandmother had to flee her home, it refers to the situation of forced displacement that many families in Colombia have lived and continue to live.

[@MoviesinDepth]

UGH. LOVE THIS.

[@sandpiperr]

I saw another comment that mentioned a fascinating detail. All of the gifts before Mirabel's ceremony are things that Abuela wanted for the family based on the trauma of having lived through political stife: The ability to know what's going on and what's coming - Bruno and Dolores The ability to be strong against any obstacle - Luisa The ability to get people on your side and serve the community - Camilo and Isabela The ability to put out fires and always be able to grow things - Pepa and Isabela And the ability to heal - Julieta However, the first gift after Mirabel's ceremony was Antonio's, and he got a gift that she, rather than Abuela, would have wanted for him...a gift that he'd love based on his personality. So the keeper of the magic, which was Alma, but then transfered to Mirabel may actually influence the gifts.

I never got the "gift" of not experiencing racism and seeing myself in every movie, every classmate and every teacher. Since I'm also the youngest I constantly heard "Oh Let the others do that, you're just in the way". Especially Isabela hit hard because my older sister is basically the same (except for the fact that she put expectations on me because of HER talents). So this movie was amazing to watch because I could finally see myself in something, even if it's not directly about the skin color. But it's nice that they're not Caucasian!

I have a theory about Mirabel. So when the Abuela dies who will give gifts to new family members when she’s gone?

Maybe when Mirabel becomes older she will pass the candle onto one of her grandchildren who might not have a gift

She does get her power; her power, like the grandmother, is to be the foundation for the family. But like you said, the first foundation was built out of turmoil and fear. And trying to hold things together, the grandmother unintentionally was making it worse because of what the family was trying to live up to. Now they have a new foundation, one based on love and the strength of the family for everything they are. This is basically the same lesson as Frozen, they are just told in different ways: the non-magical person bring stability and love for the magical one who is crumbling because they're based on isolation and fear. Once they get the foundation from the person who loves them for who they are completely, their abilities, their lives, all get to working beautifully together. Mirabella is Anna.

[@ashleyrojas3695]

I think part of what was causing the cracks in the house/their foundation was because they were shutting out Bruno. Their own family member.. a piece of the house, was missing.

[@evelynd9240]

My feelings are complicated. Abuela is not a villain, but she is certainly an antagonist, although the real "villain" of this story is the family's intergenerational trauma and inability to communicate effectively. There are some days where I feel like the kindness and understanding shown to Alma was so beautiful, and other days where I almost wish they hadn't forgiven her so easily. Alma had unaddressed trauma, and that led to her causing trauma to the younger generations of the family. She's not a bad person, but she wasn't kind to her family, and while that's not ignored within the context of the movie, it is often ignored, or amplified to extremes, in discussions of the movie.

Dos oruguitas just broke me so bad, if my eyes tarnished with tears with Toñito ceremony because Maribel “Dos orguitas” was the bomb 😩🌈✨❤️ Hello from Mexico by the way, sorry for my english is not perfect😩

[@michaelklaus]

20:29 I don't think Mirabel is given a power in the end. When we finally see the flashback of the original miracle it seems like Alma in her grief enchants the candle and equally Mirabel enchants the front door. From these enchanted items they manifest (the house and) the gifts for their family members. So besides Mirabel's many talents (singing, parkouring, embroidering, and most importantly understanding and leading her family members) I think she has the same magical powers that Alma has while the others can only rely on them to share some of it. It is also in the song Dos Oruguitas (which is afaik given in the credits in the dubbed versions for non spanish speakers). When the song starts out it seems like Pedro and Alma are the oruguitas/caterpillars who have to part and transform into mariposas/butterflies just as Alma transformed herself into the leader and protector of the community of the Encanto. But in the end we see that Alma was still inside her cocoon protecting herself from the outside world and her past. Mirabel and Alma had to let go of trying to control/earning the respect of the other to transform. Then again I think that the house is not siply concious but also a time traveler. Think about it: it manifests around Alma and her children before it is properly built. BUT most importantly there is a collection of photographs of each (grand) child opening their door: the doors already looked the same when the kids got their gifts; only Camilo is a teen on the door and Antonio a child. Because they show them around the time when the house is destroyed and (re)build.

Oh and when you rewatch the movie: notice how Dolores is trying to break to Mirabel that Bruno hides inside the house. Her "issue" is that she tries to keep many of the secrets she knows but more importantly does not step up for herself. She told her about the rats first before bringing up Luisa and during We Don't Talk About Bruno she keeps telling them that she can hear Bruno. Also his shadow is seen ont he balcony during her bit (not sure if that's Camilo though) and while they lay the table during the song his hideout is directly behind the wall. The gifts can also interestingly be interpreted in two ways: Alma sees them as tools the community needs but Mirabel gives Antonio the plushy because he loves animals before the gift cements this character trait. So all the gifts can instead be seen as manfestastions of the character traits.

I’ve felt like crap all morning long this makes me feel better

[@MoviesinDepth]

♥️

[@amberbradshaw1461]

Yo. Your reaction to this movie made me laugh/ cry. I relate so much with Luisa (aka. "the strong one") in so many ways it's uncanny.

[@jasminerasheed9855]

The whole soundtrack is 🔥🔥

[@omnidragon713]

I have to say Disney actually got truly deep with Abuelo's death, because that is actually accurate

[@vamvam7690]

Haven’t seen anyone else comment this so maybe I’m just imagining it but I reckon those few seconds where Mirabel is getting dressed to go save the Miracle (before she stops and ask herself…wait, how do I save a Miracle??) that little bit reminds me SO much of Mulan as she’s getting ready to leave home with her fathers armour. The music seems very similar and it shows her feet walking the floor similarly plus just the fortitude and determination the character shows too. Anyone else?

[@shevonneworley9631]

Abuela isn't evil. She's traumatized because of everything that she's been through, so she holds on too tight and expects soo much from them. And the expectation that is put on Isabela to be perfect is what keeps her from being closer to Mirabel. They envy each other.

[@cpcoultertweedles7216]

I’ve heard two theories about the state of Bruno’s tower: either it grew in response to the distance between himself and the family, or he asked Casita to make it as hard as possible to access when he ‘left’, to make sure no one found Mirabel’s vision

[@erendiramunoz831]

Lost it when you said "MAMACITA" to Luisa, you definitely have a hard crush on her xD. She's my favourite character too, btw.

[@MoviesinDepth]

She. Is. The. Best.

[@markjade3587]

YEEEES!!! im so happy u finally reacted to one of my all time favorite disney movie!!

[@TheAnnaPhilharmonic]

YAYYYY ENCANTO REACTION!!! Love this movie

[@larirodrigues25]

8:33 her mother was trying to be sweet but she didn't believed her anyway, between that and the grandma KNOWING there was something wrong but denying to everyone and humiliating Mirabel, I was literally bawling my eyes out

[@shanajeangedeon9060]

I like how in love he is with Luisa🤣 I am too honestly🥰

[@MoviesinDepth]

She is bae

[@scwlc]

"He just head-butted his way through that door!". (17:25) I know someone else must have said it, but: Ahem. That is a *wall*.

[@moonweaver77]

2:18 Ironically I thought the same thing, then near the ending I damn near cried when the house fell apart especially while it was protecting Maribel till the last second, that was the only part that made me cry in this movie lmaoo

[@davannahjones3529]

He was uneasy about the house and then he loves the house.."Thanks house "

[@spiderfingers86]

Brought to you by Disney+ starring Maribel who is the only member of her family who has no abilities. When the village is having some sort of issues it is affecting everyone. But who is the culprit behind it all and why is it happening?

[@chloejoyhenry3137]

Fun fact: Parents in Columbia actually give their kids coffee.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Those kids are ridiculously productive I’m sure

[@nicolaspicon2968]

Fun fact: It's Colombia*

[@ireneterwilliger17]

Bruno and Héctor Rivera are similar characters, talkative about them was banned and, fortunately, they're came to theirs families 😌❤️

[@gabrielavilajr.9148]

Welcome to 🇨🇴 !!! Glad you enjoyed.

[@becausemiro]

Wait, did he just say “what is wrong being stuck to be perfect”?! 😂😂😂 dude!

[@stevenwright7863]

One of the most fun reactions I have seen. New subscriber!

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

I didn't cry the first time I saw this, but I had a fever and I was in the theater, so there you go. I cried every time I saw it after that 30 times in a row, on a loop, with covid.

[@fantasyland3646]

Love watching you react to movies your really fun,funny and entertaining to watch your one of my fave KZbinrs.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is without a doubt a bop and I love it, but I also love “Waiting On a Miracle”, “Surface Pressure” and “What Else Can I Do?”

[@MoviesinDepth]

All the songs are bops

[@LordSesshomaru69]

Some people theorize that Maribel Powers is she’s the heart of the house itself and the candle is the heart and soul of her grandpa

[@Faith-fb1gl]

This movie is great. It deals with real life issues grief, trying to be perfect, pressure to help others, and pressure to prove your self to your family. It shows how hard it can be when you have a talented just being recognised can be hard. And that you shouldn't ignore others just because you don't understand them. And overlooking anyone hurts everyone. It's better to be open and honest because bottle up doesn't help anyone.

[@theacentricbean]

Rosa Diaz voiced this sweet and compassionate lead. I genuinely cannot believe that. It's been over a year and I still don't believe it

[@Shia224]

“We don’t talk about Bruno” and Dolores are my favorite ❤️‍🩹 I also think that the reason why Maribel doesn’t have a power is bc when she touched the candle she also wiped her hands off on her dress before touching the door 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@giannascandone8942]

It’s so cute and funny how he was simping over Luisa the entire time she came on the screen😂, and I love it!😊❤

[@Xenotric]

Her power basically is being the new foundation for the family magic, essentially she tore down Abuelas foundation for the miracle which was based on grief and fear of losing the protection of the Encanto allowing the violence to destroy their home again. They then built a new home and miracle based on being together as a family, replacing the candle and individual doors with Mirabels front door that has the entire family instead (inside doors looking like they remain blank but magical). Mirabel became the heart of the magic in the same way her grandmother was with her candle so no actual gift other than being the core that the miracle evolves from. Does mean technically the grandmother has no "gift" any more as the candle is absent in the new house.

[@stars4jes]

I look at it as she is the one to take care of the family when Abuela is gone and she will be the guide for the family. Abuela doesn't have any powers she is just the guide for the family to guide the powers and take care of the village.

[@rodrigoocampospenaloza604]

Minute 16:03, What a coincidence, I said the same thing when I saw The Incredibles 2, specifically the scene where Violeta got mad knowing that Tony no longer remembers her because Dicker erased her boyfriend's memory, and it was really her fault, because, yes If she hadn't told her father about Tony and dealt with it herself, Tony would still remind her

[@emmaebaldwin]

Ahhh!! Yes! I was hoping you’d watch this soon.
