Fridge horror moment: Can you imagine being Bruno and getting out of the house, turning around, and seeing your niece going after the candle - and then watching the house fall on her? And not even being able to go be with the rest of your family while you process her apparent death, until you notice the family spreading out to look for her? Bruno needs about five million hugs for those five minutes alone.

[@alexisdowers2030]

I actually found a comic I don't remember where, but the comic is basically what if Bruno went out the other way and he saw the house about to fall on Mirabel. He does the instinctual thing and goes to shield her, yeah he does not make it in that comic. 😭

One of the best movies ever made. Bold of Disney to show grief in it's true form, in Abuela's flashback her reaction to the murder of her husband is one of the most heartbreaking and realistic depictions of grief I've seen in animation film.

[@lilmilontiktok]

💀💀

[@Tooba-K123]

Totally agreed. It was the first time I felt Disney showed true emotions of grief.

[@cupguin]

I didn't catch it the first time through but the depiction shifts from the opening scene when she's telling her granddaughter the story and then at the end when Mirabel finally understands her grandmother. The grief and the lasting trauma is handled so wonderfully but that tiny change in telling the same story is so moving. How do you explain to a child something that traumatic? It's important for her to know because it's been poisoning their relationship for years. On the other hand Alma clearly wanted to spare her granddaughter from the whole horror. He's not just a man in a picture, this was a man she loved. She didn't just had a life with but was planning a future with. Then she's alone with three children reminding her of the life she lost each and everyday. It's exactly what Mirabel needs to hear but it's the last thing Alma wants to tell her.

When Mirabel's father says 'miercoles' it's actually a Spanish joke. Miercoles literally means 'Wednesday' which doesn't make any sense... but it's similar to 'mierde' which means poop. So a polite way to say sh* is to say miercoles instead.

[@VeeAllar738]

This movie is so great and there's something about the gifts that makes everything better. The triplets gifts represented things Abuela wanted when her husband was lost. Bruno because she wished she could've seen what was coming, Pepa because she needed someone to put out the fires, Julieta because she needed magical healing to save him. Then the next gen is also things she wanted. Isabela because she wanted to be loved by the town, Dolores so she could know what was going on around her, Luisa because she wanted the family to be helpful and useful, Camilo because she was missing her husband, then Maribel didn't get a gift because Abuela needed someone to one day take her place. Finally Antonio got a gift that Maribel thought he would love, showing that the gifts are switching to Maribel now!

[@goldennebula5013]

OHHHH SHIZAP

[@kateiannacone2698]

See, a friend of mine has the opposite theory. That the powers each person gets connect to their own emotional needs. Pepa, for example, is the middle child of the triplets, and middle children are often overlooked. The weather responding to her emotions FORCES people to pay attention and take notice of her feelings.

[@angieortizurena3327]

They represent the roles people take inside family dinamics, specially in toxic ones or in those that have suffered intergenerational trauma: the perfeccionist, the strong one, the shape shifter that models his/her behavior according to the dynamic needs, the healer, the moody one that reflects the family’s emotions, that one hypersensitive that “sees” things just because he/she is more observing than the average person, and the empath that monitors the members of the family and it’s the source of warm and comprehension

[@3kylajsmith]

Bruno breaks my heart, yes Mirabel had it rough, they all did, but her family loved her, she was looked after. Bruno got blamed for bad things happening when he didn't cause them he just saw them, then he spent 10 years in basically solitary confinement. He said he had a lot to apologize for what did he have to apologize for? He didn't do anything, he ran away, sort off but what else could he do?

[@JohnDoe-ur3tr]

You can't really say Bruno ran away. He hid away to protect Mirabel so no one would think she might wreck the house as she grew up. Remember, only Bruno knew about the vision until Mirabel found it again and let it public. If he wasn't trying to protect her, he would have still be there albeit the miserable "creepy" uncle that no one is friends with.

[@3kylajsmith]

@@JohnDoe-ur3tr Exactly, he had to abandon his home and live alone, because he knew how his family would react. We saw them freak out at the during the engagement dinner. Poor Bruno knew they would assume the worst and tried to protect her. I shudder to think how he got food and where he washed, etc. We saw him sneaking around, so I'm assuming he was getting food and going to the bathroom. The magic could have stepped in earlier, poor man spend 10 years in the walls.

[@blade7y156]

@@3kylajsmith Actually Dolores very probably helped him getting food. If you watch carefully during the last part of "We don't talk about Bruno", we can see Dolores checking around her, and then, in a dance step, coming close to the family tree, probably to call Bruno for dinner. There are even very cool and funny theory about how Dolores was found of Rats Telenovas of Bruno that she could hear through the walls.

The dad getting bee stings and other unfortunate accidents almost on the daily shows a hidden lovestory between him and the mom. The guy is basically unlucky (a stereotype in hispanic culture) and the mom's cooking can cure anything. So it hints that they probably met due to his accidents. Meanwhile for a husband he is a very good listener, which is shown by Mirabel opening up to him first about Bruno's final vision.

it's such a sweet movie right? I think it could have been a bit better but overall it was really endearing and well done and the animations are super lovely. glad you guys enjoyed! edit: I think her gift is her connection with the house and family? she's basically the house's best friend and everything? essentially she's the one who will take over as the family caretaker from her grandmother or so it seems.

[@goldennebula5013]

Yea, especially since she was the one first embraced by the house at the end and how when she put the doorknob back on the whole house was given light again and everyone’s powers were reignited. She is not the one who must carry the candle

[@lilybirdflowergum8683]

I don’t feel like that was Mirabel’s gift. If you look at her character, it could be interpreted as a metaphor for being disabled, physically or mentally. Especially since she’s the only person outside of her father in the family that wears glasses, aka a disability. She’s treated as different, unable to do the same things as everyone, in the way, etc. Same could be said for Bruno. They’re not physically abused, but in a family that wants perfect, busy children, they are seen as imperfect and therefore neglected for the more perfect children. And the point of the movie could be that you don’t need to have a “gift” or a talent to be worthy of love. You don’t need to be able to do the same things as everyone else. So to say that Mirabel’s gift is the house is sort of undermining the point of the movie as well as the multiple interpretations that Mirabel’s character has. Not every giftless protagonist has to have a power at the end of their movie, right?

[@mellysomethingclever]

Luisa’s song hits so hard for me, cause I know what’s it’s like to be the “strong one” in the family. And that pressure of always having to be on point and to make sure things went smoothly. Never being able to crack, and always having to make sure you handle everything that’s out on your back. Until you really feel like you’re gonna break. It’s not just about being strong physically, but mentally and emotionally to always have to carry the weight of your family on your back. To the point that any sight of weakness is considered a flaw. It’s such a bop, but it always makes me cry.

[@cheyennepeterson6499]

I love that they're no villains in this movie just misunderstanding and lack of communication and how everyone has family problems the abuela never wanted to be the bad guy she was just hurting and trying to keep her family close but it was suffercating them and abuelo dying must have been a horrible death if they didn't show it

If you pay attention to "we don't talk about bruno" you can actually tell that bruno was still there if you focus on Delores. In her first part she always talks about him in the present tense "i can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling" also in the background if you watch the balcony he will pass across the screen with a green glow and dance at the end. And in her sacond part she says, "it's like i hear him now... i can hear him now!"

[@BoxOKittens]

I LOVE that the family being fixed had to begin with Isabela and Mirabel hugging. They're two sides of the same coin. Isabela is raised to be the next matriarch, but that's actually Mirabel's destined role. Isabela feels trapped into her circumstance and feels resentful of Mirabel because she sees her being ignored as having freedom, and Mirabel resents Isabela because she's jealous of her golden child status. They were the two key family members who had to come to an understanding before the family could begin to heal.

[@76rvega]

Mirabel's gift is taking over for the Grandmother as the conductor the one that watches over everyone and keeps everyone balanced. Such a brilliant film! The animation is mind-blowing..

The Dos Oruguitas scene never fails to make me cry like a baby

[@ThatBrunetteFromCali]

There’s a lot of theories as to why Mirabel didn’t get a gift. But the one that makes the most sense is this: The casita is the embodiment of the spirit of Pedro, Alma’s husband. And he gave each Madrigal member a specific gift to protect themselves & others around them. A lot of people think Dolores has super hearing so in case the valley got attacked by the conquistadores, Dolores could hear them coming. Luisa could fight off armies, Julieta could heal any injured villagers, Bruno could see them coming in the future, Pepa could basically flood them, Isabella unlocking her plant growing potential could grow more crops if the Cons burnt them down. But because Alma lost sight of what the miracle was for, Pedro needed someone to basically be a voice for him to relay the message of the fading magic. Overall, Alma was the key to restoring the magic because the family wasn’t “healed” until Alma returned to the river where Pedro died. Even the images on there doors was foreshadowing how old each Madrigal would be when the house fell.

What about Antonio's powers?

[@writer4life724]

@@janicespivery333 He essentially has his own spy network that can relay messages or cause chaos at a moments notice should the cons catch on to Dolores' abilities. He could also cause the cons horses to rebel, forcing them all on foot.

conquistadores? this movie is definitely not set in that era lol

[@sunnydpanda3479]

I'm surprised yall didnt cry at Surface Pressure, as the oldest sibling, the first time I heard that song in the movie I balled my eyes out like you did with Waiting on a Miracle lol but I guess the lyrics hits different for us eldest.

[@terrylewis_]

The scene where little Mirabel looks up at her Abuela when the door fades BREAKS me. Like "What did I do?" I watch this at least once a week.

[@isakito1997]

actually that movie has a great message. doesn't matter how related a family is by blood. they're differentwith their own insecurities and fights. we need to remember that and encourage every member to be greater and the olders to recover their path.

I need to admit this one, I cried a lot with Encanto.

[@postachonomas7257]

I swear i've seen so many reactions to the movie and the songs, and I never get to not cry

Mirabel is definitely my new favourite Disney Animation character (or at least on par with my old favourites).

The mass sobbing really is appreciated guys, thanks for the reaction! 💛

I'm 44 yrs old and I absolutely loved this movie. Everything about it was fun, creative, and catchy. Thanks for checking this one out!!

I cry so much every time I watch this movie. During Dos Oruguitas, I sobbed so much I could barely breathe. It's a beautiful movie. I've watched it MANY times. I love how Greg giggles so much.

I love this movie because I saw the A cappella group Voiceplay sing their cover of "We Don't Talk About Bruno". Nice reaction, y'all Take Care & God Bless.

I’m not sobbing- you are! Disney just keeps topping itself with music and story and animation time and time again. Screw romance- let’s keep on with outcasts being more important than anyone thinks.

Is a very beautiful movie with a beautiful message, I can tell you guys resonated with it a lot, great reaction and great to see Lauren again

[@KeitieKalopsia]

One of my favorite things is how the house, with its last dying energy, saves Mirabel’s life. It’s that moment that truly sells the casita as a living character and it almost made me cry.

[@HenryLoenwind]

Did you notice how in the introduction Song, Famila Madrigal, not a single word was said about who those people are or what they're like? It's all about what they can do.

[@h.p.chicken]

I love that y'all don't apologise for crying, but that you embrace it and give thanks for the opportunity to shed some tears. Enchants is my new go-to movie when I need a good cry to pick me up. Great reaction ✌️

[@andyherrera5871]

Mirabel already had a gift this whole movie because she is just like her grandmother. Her gift is miracle

[@jamesfoster9613]

The idea is definitely that she's the heir to the Miracle itself, because she sees the family and not just the magic/safety. It's just so good, and between Dos Oruguitas (best song) and the sister's embracing Bruno upon his return I just can't ever stop the tears. But, NEAT FACT (which you might have noticed but it was edited out): during We Don't Talk About Bruno, during Dolores' (super hearing) part (where she is DEFINITELY HINTING (do you understand!?) that she can hear Bruno), you can see Bruno behind her up on the balcony creeping around and even vibing to the music.

[@MiguelSilva-ty5do]

I've watched different reactors reacting to Encanto and I've always come back to yours more than I can count. Lauren's reaction is so authentic and I get emotional just watching her. A lot of people like Coco and I think that is a good movie but this one is amazing. This movie is very relatable. Lin-Manuel Miranda said it best, it is about how simple family is and how complicated it is. This was by far one of the best reactions I've seen.

[@chasekerlin9787]

If you didn't know, Mirabelle is voiced by Rosa from Brooklyn 99

[@owlxle]

It's funny that you mention how you can relate on some level as a Filipino. As a fellow Filipino, stories of brown families (Encanto and Coco come to mind) always get to me.

[@squeebers]

The following is half confirmed/partly widely theorized/ and all my personal head-canon. Abuela didn't have a Magical power. She was however, given a gift. The Encanto. She received it when Abuelo Pedro gave his life to protect his wife and children. In that moment Abuela became the "candleholder" or others use the name "Miracle Holder." She was the one to keep the family and, even more so the town together. Eventually when the family got bigger and more complicated, the "foundation" the Encanto was built on grew unstable. Because Abuela was always from the very beginning full of greif for her husband, and fear that she may lose her home and/or family members again. Her fear was amplified more and more by Bruno's constant visions of the future. Until finally, Bruno had the vision of Mirabel. I don't think Abuela saw the vision judging by her reaction when Mirabel found it. Bruno disappeared. This upset Abuela much deeper than the other fsmily members. This was her son. She felt like she had lost another family member. My theory and personal head-canon is that Casita, is Pedro's spirit incarnate. And the candle was in Pedro's lantern when he gave himself up. That's the item that was enchanted. Pedro's spirit in Casita (to be referred to as Casita from this point on) could tell that the magic was fading LONG before the family members even noticed. That's why Mirabel wasn't given a gift. Because she would be the next "Miracle Holder" after Abuela, because without a magical power she'd be able to investigate the familily's issues more closely and more determinedly. But it goes deeper than that. Notice at the end of the movie, the candle doesn't come back. They don't show you the candle. Well, do you think any of the family members could've put that doorknob on and gotten the magic back? No. Only Mirabel. Why? Because Casita used Mirabel's door when she turned 5 to imbue her with just enough of the candle's magic, so that when the candle inevitability went out and the house fell, the Encanto, the mountains that sprung up to encase the town, would stay intact. And if Mirabel had led the family down the right path, the magic could be restored without the need for a candle. And eventually another kid in the Madrigal family will watch their door disappear and they won't be sad. They will know that that means they are the next "Miracle Holder." BOOM!!!!!! If you have any questions please reply. I know I've left some stuff out.

[@AFC-ef4gs]

Mirabel doesn't have a gift because she will take over as the matriarch of the family. Abuela didn't have a gift either, she received the miracle. Mirabel reignited it.

[@aaliyahhernandez223]

I cried sooo hard at the end. During the “stars don’t shine, they burn” song. I was hoping to catch your guys reaction during that. Oh wow. This was absolutely fantastic.

[@MTG_Scribe]

I think "Surface Pressure" is my favorite Disney song ever. I really like this movie, but I particularly like that the plot can be completely summed up by saying, "A girl has several conversations with her family".

I love that Mirabel has glasses and curly hair. Small minor details but differentiate her from the traditional princess type.

I like how with some of the visions it was stuff that would inevitably happen but it gets complicated when Delores and Isabella sung their parts in “we don’t talk about Bruno”; Isabella was told she’d get the life she wanted, while Delores was told her love would be with someone else. Isabella didn’t want a life with that man, that was Delores’s love. If it all went one way in life then one of their lines wouldn’t have been a thing, either Isabella would’ve gotten the life she wanted(this time line) or Delores would’ve been heart broken (another time line). Bruno was getting undecided fates before seeing the vision about Mirabel.
