1. What are Mirabel’s powers? 2. Do Augustine & Felix have powers & if they don’t what explains Augustine’s deformities? 3. Is Mirabel the next Disney Princess?

[@hammyfan6060]

1. Mirabel doesn’t have powers. 2. Lol Augustine’s “deformities” are just allergic reactions. 3. No she is not, because mirabel is not a princess nor did she marry into a royal family in the movie like past movies.

Who is that fish lady and why does she prominently appear dancing at the end of We Don't Talk about Bruno?

[@trinaq]

I love how during "We don't Talk about Bruno", Dolores is the only character to discuss Bruno in the present tense, which is a clue that he's still around.

[@chasehedges6775]

Same. She’s also the only one to show him sympathy. Along with Isabella.

[@alllittlethingzz]

I always wanted to know why she makes that cute squeaking sound though lol

[@ChaoticNalilitoMC]

Also my take on why she didn't spill about Bruno (but spilled the other secrets so easily) is that due to just the mere NAME of Bruno around her mother caused her mood to go so south she probably learned to keep quit to avoid causing her mother more stress. And given the pressure Abuela put on the family to use their gifts to help the community, this was Dolores's version of cracking under the pressure put on her by Abuela like how Isabela had to be perfect and Luisa had to be strong. So she had to tell the truth about the vision since it impacted their image towards the community, aka Abuela always going on and on about them being strong and everything being fine

[@PrismOpal64]

I mean... Camilo also sings about him in present tense. "7 foot frame, rats along his back When he calls your name, it all fades to black Yeah he sees your dreams, and feasts on your screams"

Bruno’s vision about Mirabel was spot on too. The house did crumble not because of Mirabel but she is the one who sees it first. It also is rebuilt, intact, and strong because of Mirabel.

[@kizuna2225]

Bruno was definitelly unrightfully judged by everyone because when you see something that will happen you dont make it happen, it was already gonna happen he just saw it before it happened, that goldfish was gonna die with or without bruno, with bruno you just had someone to blame it on instead of poor caregiving cause look at that fish bowl.

I feel so very sorry for Bruno, ~50 years old and unmarried, alone in the walls. Unloved... 😢 How he bonded so warmly with Mirabel, I can only imagine what kind of Father he would have been had he any children of his own.

[@callmeharper19]

unloved in the movie...we all know he has simps irl

[@Furienna]

Actually, I believe that his family loved him more than he thought they did. But he must have been really lonely and unhappy during those years, when he thought that he had to hide from the world.

[@crazypurple9550]

His family may have been mad at him, but I doubt they stopped loving him. He has depression, which is made apparent by his choice to isolate because he felt like he was the cause of his family's problems. I would almost argue he was the first to feel the pressure of his gift considering Abuela asked him for a vision the night Mirabel didn't get her power, but because he chose to go into hiding instead of trying to maintain the family tradition and image he was able to hide it better. When Mirabel first saw the cracks at the party Bruno clearly had been patching up cracks longer than that considering he already had the mortar and patched them up so quickly.

[@Furienna]

I'm writing a story right now about an alternative universe, where Bruno is married and has two kids and definitively isn't unloved even if people in the village still slander him. But having two kids of his own in my story means that Bruno never bonds with Mirabel that strongly even though he still does what he can to protect her and help her. They are still family and still care about each other in a more normal uncle/niece kind of way, but it's not in the same way as it is in the movie. But instead, Mirabel is very close to Bruno's daughter and considers her her best friend. Also, I really don't think that Bruno would have gone into hiding for ten years if he'd had a loving wife to talk to and two kids to take care of. So he didn't do that in my story, but he didn't tell anybody but his wife what he saw in his vision about Mirabel even though his mother was furious when he didn't tell her. ETA: And I just realized one more thing. Antonio is very quick to bond with Bruno as well in the movie, but he bonds with Bruno's son instead in my story.

[@Furienna]

@@callmeharper19 I'm such a Bruno simp that it can scarcely be believed! 😆

I assumed that because Augustine is "accident prone but he means well" he often visited Julietta for food to heal any injuries that where a result of his clumsy nature. I think that his frequent accidents ment they developed a close relationship and eventually they fell in love.

IMO, The brilliance of “we don’t talk about Bruno” is that Camillo, who barely, if at all, remembers Bruno, Bruno has become this mythical creature. Delores, who still hears Bruno, has more realistic lyrics about him.

My theory is that Camillo saw him late one night sneaking food as a little kid and that influenced his description of Bruno

[@emilemarin5966]

[@seol7035]

She kept that secret because she wasn't allowed to talk about bruno, but the prophecy was literally going to affect the entire encanto's fate and she was overwhelmed by the fear that she might not be able to keep the secret (which made it worse)

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Everyone said Abuela is the villain of this movie since she resents Mirabel very much but I think Dolores is the main villain of this movie. In the beginning, she told the kids that Mirabel doesn't have a gift and made Mirabel sad and lost her self confidence. Then, she's probably trolling Isabella that Mariano wants 5 kids and made Isabella shocked. Then, she heard the conversation between Mirabel and her dad and decided to spread the gossip to her family and ruined Isabella's engagement and gets Mariano in the end.

[@CamilaVanilla]

I'm glad my theory about Camilo's description of Bruno was correct. It seemed obvious to me that Camilo was just embellishing rumors to amuse himself and creep out Mirabel. It surprised me that people online didn't seem to realize that.

[@cadence_stoops]

Same here. I just assumed it was common knowledge. No judgement to the people who didn’t realize though!

[@nenaorta4581]

True, I think that he embellished Bruno's hight because he was five when bruno left and to a kid, everyone is a giant.

With Antonio getting a gift relative to his interests, it makes me wonder if all the kids got gifts relative to their interests before. Like julietta just was already really into cooking, or Camilo was already doing impressions. And Delores was eavesdropping on conversations.

[@pinkllama5453]

Lol true. Abuela changed her to abuela

[@chevgage6210]

I interpreted the gifts as being their strength to compliment their weakness. Dolores has hearing because she's unabled to speak up. Her strength is hearing, not being heard. Luisa's strength is physical, but she's emotionally insecure. Antonio is great with animals but struggles to connect with people. So forth, so forth. Mirabel didn't get a gift because her power is love and empathy, and that's the source of the magic. She has a bit of low self esteem but she doesn't actually have a major weakness for the magic to address. Mirabel doesn't get a power the same reason Alma doesn't, she is the power, she inherits the source of it, as the power comes from intense love and the ability to bring people together. Everyone else has a weakness, so the miracle gives them a strength to compliment it.

For the first, I would say that it mainly depends on whether the 'Mirabel is the next Candle Holder' theory is true which would Imply that the Candle Holder after her also won't have a gift.

Bruno "left" the Casita 10 years before, so when Dolores was around 10-12. He probably gave her prophecy few years before. So I can easily imagine Dolores starting to cry when she saw that her love story would never happen and Bruno stopped like he did with Mirabel prophecy to confort her. So nobody knew the end of the vision. And it helped to make Bruno even more anxious and to grow even more his need to go away to protect his familly.

About the second question, i may have an idea... but English it´s not my first language so i´m not sure if i´ll be able to explain my thought. Do you remember the way she got to the entry of the cave, with one ot the strings of the bridge and she swang to the other side? I think she could have easily (not that easily but still) done the same thing to get out of there... like... she could have made the same process but from the other side, with the same string that she used before, since she attached this one to a bunch of rocks that where in the cave´s side, i think it´s save to assume that the string was still there while she was looking for the vision... so she just had to attach it to some rocks on the other side...swing again...this time maybe being more cautious and getting out of there... it´s my theory. I might be wrong tho.

[@anyasingh697]

Theory: Mirabel's door was the main door of the Casita even before they built Casita again? When Mirabel's gift ceremony is held, the door disappears into the walls, as if absorbing Mira's essence. The Casita also responds to Mirabel's emotions. On the night of Antonio's gift ceremony, after she sang 'Waiting on a Miracle', Casita started cracking. Then healed when she got control of her emotions, and when she ruined Isa's proposal, the same happened. She didn't get control of her emotions after her fight with Alma, so Casita fully broke. I feel Mira's gift *is* Casita, as she's the only one who has two way convos with Casita?

[@katrinschirmer8018]

yeah, I'm pretty sure her gift is her connection to Casita. it helps her with everything from getting ready in the morning to singing a song, even helping her reach the candle while it's crumbling around her and I don't think you ever see it interacting with everyone else to that extent. it's like everyone else gets a room, but the whole house is kind of her space.

[@nataliacruz6218]

I thought that was pretty implied

[@draguta8995]

My theory is that Abuela's gift was power itself. I think that the power was already in her, and the trauma of loosing Pedro unleased it. But because there's no other magical entity in the movie world, she doesn't know what's happening. In her perspective, she sees the candle morphing and a safe environment has been created, so that the candle becomes the hero of the story. How did Abuela know to get her triplets in front of their room doors and commune with the candle (which I think became Abuela's magical foci, like wands are for witches/wizards) to get their own power? I think the candle drew magic from Abuela and enhanced an ability already within the individual. Julieta was already a care-taker personality, Bruno being exceptionally good at making predictions about the results of people's actions, Pepa being good at predicting the weather, Luisa liked lifting heavy things, Isabella liked flowers, etc.

[@randomitalianinthecomments]

they kinda did, when Abuela said to Mirabel that sometimes the only way for people like them (people without gifts such as herself and Mirabel) to help is to step aside.

[@marleinasmom]

Abuela's gift was her control of the house. Casita only responded to Abuela and Mirabel. It would help the others, but only those two could direct it's actions... like Abuela asking Casita to move Maribel's seat at breakfast, Mirabel asking for accompaniment to start The Family Madrigal, or Mirabel asking Casita to help her reach the candle. They get the Head of the Family powers.

[@bastian_1991]

@@marleinasmom I really don't think Casita only responds to them. Remember Luisa's corridor treadmill ? I think Abuela is kind of the power holder, she represents authority, the magic comes originally from her and her grief and loss, therefore Casita will obey her first and foremost. And in the case of Mirabel, I think it is as simple as Mirabel being more caring and compassionate, more empathetic than everyone else, which is the reason why she can heal everyone's stress. And that's why she communicates more with Casita and why Casita is always helping her. Another reason why Mirabel interacts more with Casita is probably because, deep inside, despite being surrounded by a big family, she feels so alone being the only kid with no inherited power. The others simply do not interact as much with Casita, they probably do not need to. But remember Casita was there to help them all, like saving them from falling towards the end.

My question is: how did some of the family members figure out their gifts? Because as we see, as soon as Antonio gets his gift, the bird flies up and he starts talking to it. So, how did Julieta figure out she could cook to heal people, like, did the house just bring her the stove or something? Or how did Bruno figure out he could predict the future without having to set up the whole ring of sand?

[@hearmeout1767]

It would be nice if we could see a video of the other gift ceremonies.

[@paige13]

i think when they went inside their room it reveals it. for example, i saw a video of a guy predicting what everyones room looked like. he said that Julieta’s room could’ve welcomed you with a kitchen and further out there’s an herbs garden. And maybe since Antonio was an animal guy at the start, and he got a power associated with animals, maybe since Julieta is such a kind and gentle and caring mom, she would help people, heal them, cure them. And maybe before her gift, she was really into food or cooking of some sort or interested in it as a child, so they figured it fits into that category. And With Camilo’s room he said that he pictured Camilo’s room to be full of mirrors. He thought this because Encanto’s creator mentions that Camilo is a theater kid. Maybe he liked acting, so the room was filled with mirrors so he could practice his acting or shapeshifting. Dolores was obviously blasted with a bunch of ringing in her ear and combustion of the ear drum so she would’ve probably have dropped to the ground in pain and agony with blood all over her face and ears so they *probably* have guessed what her “gift” was. I can’t quite think of how Bruno could’ve figured out his, but maybe the gods told him or whatever. It’s a Disney movie, what did you expect?

at the end, when the magic goes through the house and all is restored. if you pay attention not only does it cover the house but it covers the townspeople's homes as well. so it could be a hint that everyone that lives with the Encanto can help and release the burden from just the family. plus they helped build casita as well you know. I felt that Mirabel had many gifts, singing, the gift of comfort and nurturing, bravery, persistence, courage, and sewing and crafts kind of like regular human gifts, and some people have to work hard to achieve. not to mention the fact that she was the only one who could actively see the house cracking and the gift of recognizing her intuition, and she physically saw brunos vision vs everyone else hearing about his vision.

I feel like Julieta was the most understanding sibling, because as soon as he started trying to apologize she hugged him and told him he doesn't need to.

Both, actually. If you watch the scene where he needs healing from bees, he is wearing one of his daughter's roses. He knows it's going to attract bees, but he doesn't care cause he supports his daughters unconditionally.

[@indigothecat]

My theory is that Abuela has been sort of "arranging" the marriages of her family since the beginning, which is why she had no problems basically grooming 22-year-old Isabela into marrying Mariano. It's not that Mariano is a bad guy, definitely not, but my guess is that she was trying to pick spouses that would compliment her children's gifts or needs. For example, poor Pepa has developed all kinds of anxiety issues over constantly having to control her emotions, so picking out the warm and go-with-the-flow Felix was meant to give her emotional support, and she also knew that, as Mirabel put it, Agustin is clumsy but he means well, and thus, the hard working yet accident prone Agustin (who was also allergic to bees) would be a good match for Julieta. Thus, as Abuela says, her "perfect Isabela" who is the very image of grace, beauty, and literally makes the flowers grow, needed a husband that was basically the equivalent of a gallant prince charming who was looking for his princess to profess his love to. I recognize that this also calls into question the marriages of Agustin and Felix, as Isabela definitely wasn't happy with Abuela's choice for her. It's not a perfect theory, but my other theory to go along with it is that after Mirabel didn't get a gift nor a door, Abuela's control issues went into overdrive, which hurt the family overall, with Bruno being the first to buckle under the pressure. I would imagine it was also around this time that Pepa started to develop her severe anxiety problems (after all, she had just lost her triplet brother, and wasn't allowed to talk about it), and Luisa was pressured hard to basically take care of the entire damn village, Abuela developed lightning focus on Isabela and grooming her to be the perfect future bride (then forcing the issue as soon as possible), meanwhile relegating poor Dolores to being her personal PA System and spy drone (she has no problem asking Dolores to tell her when Mariano is going to propose, rather than waiting for the information to come directly), causing Dolores to become a bit of a shrinking violet who has a hard time speaking up for herself.

I think the casita breaks everytime any family members argue. I think it's obvious that the casita represents the family relationships. Gradually it breaks because gradually, the pressure presses on. Mirabel confronted Abuela and the hatred just surged on. We can also see that the ground between them broke which proves that the characters developed distant feelings toward each other. They even said in the last song, "we need a new foundation." Because their family's foundation were grounded on their gifts and expectations. Mirabel even said, "I love the new foundation." because now, the foundation is love and acceptance.

Isabella could have explored her potential earlier, were it not for the pressure of Abuela. Dolores could have proactively sought out the man of her dreams, instead of pitying herself. Maybe even talked to Isabella about it and found out "Wait, Isa doesn't want this either." This all plays into a line from Doloroes: Prophecies they don't understand. They didn't understand Bruno's power; they assume that it tells them the exact future, so they always assume the worst when he tells them what might happen.

Encanto beautifully describes the stress of family expectations, and long seeped traumas, that were repaired by immense duty of family and moving on in life.

When I grew into an adult, my own mother at last broke down a little and told me about all the traumas she had in life, and it was a honour to listen to her worries as one of her own.

As someone who lives in a house with 1 bathroom, I would've liked if there were stalls but no, you either had to be rich to have something like toilets and stalls in one bathroom. It's typically just the toilet bowl and two meters away is the shower. No sinks or whatsoever.

@@mad3739 true but I don't think your house was as magical as the Casita

[@GlawiousAldredMarci]

The problem with the visions were that it looked like Bruno never learned to use his powers as he always looked at the visions from one angle and saw only a glimpse. The first time he actually tries to look into a future with full attention is when he sees Mirabell's future and even then he only sees that she can be the problem or the solution. Then Mirabell actually notices that his visions are only half baked as Bruno never actually found the subtle parts, hints and meanings behind them which could have prevented that praticular future he saw from happening. :)

[@bitterbugs.1]

Hey Mojo, I've got a question that I think about a lot; Would Dolores have been *almost* disappointed to get her gift back after the magic was restored? Of course, she would have been happy for her family members that their gifts had returned, but I wonder if she wishes she could have just been able to shout and yell as much as she wanted a little longer before the magic returned. In the montage when the town helps to rebuild casita, Dolores had yelled out in joy as she was swinging on some kind of rope. I assume she'd never really gotten the chance to do so after she got her gift, to avoid hurting her own ears.

[@lReclipse]

I think Pepa was also happy with the little break with no gift. She always has to repress her emotions so that her powers don’t go out of control. It was probably nice for her to get to feel any emotion freely without any repercussions during that time. And also not be rained on almost everyday. But I don’t think either of them were unhappy about it coming back. They probably liked the break, but they both looked happy when the magic came back.

The way Bruno loves and supports Maribel makes me cry

[@jessgarcia1909]

I second Karen Hansen-Smith’s questions: 1. After the miracle was restored, did Mirabel still have to stay in the nursery, or did she get a room suited to her? 2. How did Mirabel get back across the crevasse in Bruno's tower when she had nothing to swing on, and had such a hard time getting over in the first place? AND I also wonder if the doors/rooms remained specific to individuals after the magic was restored, considering the closing scene doesn’t show each person’s name/face… lastly, the doors all picture the characters at their current age -Antonio’s door shows him as a little boy, Abuela’s as an old woman, etc… does this mean the images on the doors change/evolve as the characters grow/age??

[@Steeksify]

I would assume so, since Alma's door changed to Abeula when she became one.

[@ashleafwing1706]

If you look at the pictures on the wall of when Pepa and Julieta and everyone else got their gift, the doors already show them as the age they are in the movie.

Honestly I found the fact that what Bruno said about Dolores not winding up with her beloved to be spot on despite her winding up with her beloved in the end for the exact reasons which is Bruno didn't see that far into the future to be very obvious. I'm honestly shocked that others didn't see it as very obvious it seems very obvious.

[@ac.car88]

Yes he even tells Mirabel that he gets bits and pieces and sometimes the visions can be uncertain. Like the one he had of her which is why he didn't tell Abuela because he wanted to protect her since he didn't know for sure what would actually happen. So with Delores he probably only saw that part. As the director said he never said married he said betrothed so it was implied that the marriage may or may not happen.

[@ArmelleK]

Thanks for this video 'cause I didn't understand why Camilo can speak so well about Bruno but Mirabel can hardly say anything about him ! Now it's clear. But I think that if Luisa has force, Isabella beauty, Mirabel has intelligence, because she asked questions that shows how clever she is, and it's quite a gift to me !

[@livingpicture]

Ok, not a question, but an interesting "proverb" that is similar to the caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation analogy used in the movie: "Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains a single seed, but if it dies, it bears much fruit." I doubt the filmmakers were trying to model this proverb, but it still fits very well with the movie's theme. The family had to allow themselves to lose the gift in order to grow beyond their physical boundaries and their self-imposed boundaries.

[@kellygreen7236]

As someone who is very sensitive to sound and touch and smell, I found it very cool that Dolores has sensitivity as a gift, as a power. I have always been told I'm too sensitive to sound, and felt ashamed for it. But I like feeling represented and also seeing that while she does suffer a bit for her gift, it is a gift nonetheless. Also MUJERES LATINAS!!! THE REPRESENTATION!!! OUTSTANDING CHARACTERS!!

[@Zoso55]

My question though is how well Mirabel and Camilos relationship is because if you look at how he treats the others that are his age compared to how he treats Mirabel he is a lot gentler around Mirabel and at the end if he hadn’t lost his power at the time he did he would have been able to save her.

[@thecrazychristianfangirl9497]

Actually, I think Camilo is very gentle/nice around pretty much all his family members and friends, regardless of age, you know? :). He cheers on Antonio when he first got his gift and worries about him when the magic's gone {he asks, "What about Antonio? What'll he do?"}. He seems to be fine around Dolores and they have a healthy brother/sister relationship, alternatively confiding in/picking on each other. He only teases Isabela, and he's not mean to her when he does it; he just likes to make fun of her and at the same time, her 'boyfriend'. We don't see him really interacting with Luisa, but then Camilo's barely in the movie to begin with, and when Luisa is showcased in the movie, she's pretty much almost always having a meltdown around Mirabel, so there's not really many chances for them to interact, but we can assume they would've gotten along. He's nice to Cecilia {that's the name of the little girl with pigtails, right?} when she's around, and it's implied they have a good relationship since when they meet, they high-five like they're friends. And he's nice to the adults, trying to calm down his Mom {Pepa, you know}, and imitating his Dad {Felix} for fun, and imitation is the highest form of flattery. He obeys Abuela when she tells him to become Jose to help with the preparations. I don't think he does anything with Julieta and Agustin really, but why would he have problems with them? To make a long explanation short, I think Camilo is just a very caring guy, and loves all his family. I think he has more interactions on-screen with Mirabel partially because she's the protagonist, and the story revolves more around her. They could definitely have a better relationship with each other because they're closer in age, of course; and I agree with you that their relationship is sweet, but I don't think he treats her "Gentler", really; I think that's just Camilo, and Mirabel happened to be there in a life-threatening situation at that point. Also, I think Camilo was thinking of both Mirabel and the rest of the family's powers, since, he DID watch Mirabel and if she was alright, but then also reached for the candle at the same time. If you read all this, thank you for reading! God bless you! :D

[@paolasofia2519]

I've always wondered how is it possible that Dolores could hear Luisa's eye all night, but didn't listen to abuela's worry... (I mean, she said that no one else was concerned about the magic, but it wasn't true, Alma was) And, why did Casita help everyone get out of the house, except for Bruno? (He had to jump by his own) Did Casita know about Bruno? Also.... What's the relation between gifts and rooms? I mean, abuela has a room but she doesn't have a gift....

[@hearmeout1767]

Dolores was probably asleep when Alma was talking

[@olivialees4194]

I've always thought about that bruno comment, and I thought maybe there were certain areas of the old house that the spirit or whatever of casita couldn't actually access or didnt know about and bruno figured them out. Because surely if they had a fully sentient house, bruno would not be able to go undetected for 10 years in that very house. And that would explain why casita didnt help him. It didn't know where he was.

I guess my main question is: If Mirabel were to have children of her own, would they be deprived of experiencing the gift ceremony because it didn't work for her? Or was it just a genetic hiccup for her and her kids will be like all the other Madrigal kids? Oo, or, seeing how Mirabel was the gift to the family by the end, she was 15. Does this mean that if a future Madrigal child doesn't get a gift at 5 then they will later in life like Mirabel did?

No because they would still be a Madrigal.

[@russelluna1388]

mirabel didnt got a gift because at the ceremony that the house was starting to break and they didnt notice thinking that the miracle is losing

[@Canny-Octopus]

Her magic door drained into her when she touched it, and she became the gift. Her kids should be super-imbued, if it were genetic. But it's magical realism.

[@renewilder6807]

Her gift was actually hope and was not needed until the end. Everyone else had gifts that needed to be used.

[@redwarrior864]

To try and answer this: Casita is the embodiment of the magic, from what I can tell. So I believe that it would know it would break, thanks to a link to Bruno's own gift. Plus, I also theorise that the Candle was created by Abuela's own inner gift (Kinda like how Elsa has her powers); without Abuela, no magic, no Casita, so they needed an heir, someone who wouldn't be focused on some magical ability they have. In comes Mirabel, who Casita can see possesses qualities ideal for a new matriarch of the house. So it set things up to not only survive, but to ensure the family would retain its gifts even after Abuela passes.

[@ninedeuce8123]

[@Kawaiikate01]

I wondered about Bruno's room! It looked so miserable in there, and uncomfortable. Now we know it's because he left it and it sort of fell apart. And that's why Mirabel's like "Your room is the worst!"

some questions: -when camilo transforms, does he get his relatives gifts while he is transformed into them example, dolores or luisa. ? -does maribel have a gift, people speculate she wiped her hands after touching the candle causing her to lose the gift, is this true? -if maribel does have or was meant to have a gift, what is/was it? -what does each room look like? -will there be a 2nd encanto movie?

[@kseniaboytseva4714]

Camilo can transform into other people only externally, but not use the abilities of people whose appearance he acquires. That's why Bruno's eyes in his version just glow green... all the time, according to the boy (because he saw his uncle painted on a city mural showing the details of his family). Although Bruno's eyes become like this only during the use of the gift, which Camilo could not know because it is unknown whether he saw Bruno during the ritual of predicting the future or just relied on negative rumors of others about his relative.

[@CrashDiesel23]

I like to think that the house is still the grandfather and the reason he’s always helping them out is because he loves them and when it’s all falling apart his last efforts were to try and save his family.

[@izzyrobloxedits8700]

My theory: as at the start of the movie you see when Pedro died the candle lighted up with magic. I bet that’s his spirit, and then once mirabel didn’t get her gift and everyone started leaving her out Pedros spirits in the candle were fading as all abuela wanted was a perfect image. Then at the end Pedro had enough when abuela said it was mirabels fault and stuff and it showed Pedro that abuela only cared about the magic no one else. So Pedros spirit faded away from the candle. But then mirabel shows everyone that it doesn’t matter how strong you are or how perfect u are. And then abuela understanded that. Pedro felt that love again instead of just the perfect image. So then when abuela and everyone let mirabel put the doorknob on Pedros spirits rised again. My other theory is that mirabel didn’t actually loose her powers and Pedro wanted her to be a leader. So he made it dissapear BUT instead of having her own massive magic room. She had the magic house 🏠 not just for her. But for her whole family. Everyone
