The did such a good job in that scene i think, both for voice acting and animation, antonio expressed several things all at once 1.) He's afraid of not getting a miracle bc he knows what happened to mirabel and is afraid the family would treat him differently, especially abuela 2.) at the same time if he does get a miracle he'd feel bad for mirabel who doesn't and doesn't want her to feel even more of an outcast

What I love about the family picture scene is that Mirabel was never forbidden from joining. Abuela calls "everyone" to come in for the picture. Even Mira's father and her Tio Felix are there! They don't have powers but they belong in the family. Heck, she sings about them in Welcome to the Family Madrigal. And yet, she never comes in to join. She feels like she doesn't belong herself. She doesn't join the picture, and she has no verse about herself in the grankid roundup.

[@sakbromely]

Fun fact Isabella looks almost identical to Abuela when she was younger and Mariano looks like a buffer version of Pedro (Abuelas husband). It's why Abuela wanted them together, she saw in them a chance for the life that was stolen from her and pushed that onto Isabella. Also why doesn't anyone ever point out that Abuela raised a family of freaking super heroes and taught them all that their powers were to help out their fellow man. Like Isabella alone could destroy a city, Pepa could destroy a continent, Louisa could literally destroy mountains, Antonio could command animals to kill, Camillo could impersonate anyone and thus could easily commit mass murder and pin it on someone else, Dolores could sow chaos just by revealing things she's heard. Only Julieta and Brunos powers are harmless assuming that Julieta couldn't also poison people (cooking with the intent to harm as opposed to heal) or that Bruno couldn't direct his visions more specifically (as in looking into the future to figure out how to take over nations and such.). Like Abuela did a dang good job raising her kids.

[@geminidragon33]

I also think about how easy it might have been to have Mirabel become a villain, if the bitterness of being excluded overcame the love she has for all of her family. Her balance of being not like the rest and the hurt she feels along with the love and pride she has for her family definitely helped make her the savior of her family - both for their powers and their relationships. ❤

[@9lives4charlie]

I found it interesting that all of their gifts could have/were meant to protect the Encanto. Bruno could see danger coming, ya know?

You're stating facts. And here's something else about Camilo's power and how he could've abused it super easily.

[@marieguillou8808]

A detail I liked about Mariano and his relationship with Isabella is that he's not an arrogant asshole. It would have been easy to make him a Gaston or a Hans, which would have justified why Isabella doesn't like him, but that's not the decision they made. Mariano is kind, caring, a hopeless romantic, handsome, and incredibly patient (he gets beaten up for most of the movie) but even though Isabella knows he's a good man (she's happy when Dolores is reunited with him and Isa is shown to appreciate Mariano's behavior before), she just isn't in love with him. And that's okay. Best of all, Mariano respects her choice and doesn't become a bitter asshole because he was denied something he was promised.

[@Nakia11798]

Let's be honest, Mariano is a himbo and that's why he's great.

[@marieguillou8808]

@@Nakia11798 After checking the word, it's true that Mariano and the ultimate himbo and that's his charm. It's good to also put this kind of character in the movies without ridiculing them for that. In fact, the variety of characters in this movie is pretty insane, and that's to its credit.

[@rosellaraven2222]

An example of Isa tolerating his presence and acknowledging he isn't bad, and that they're probably friends, is that in the begging of the scene where the party moves into Antonio's room, Isa and Mariano are seen dancing together contently and like they're having fun. They're not dancing like Pepa and Felix with energy and fun, their dance is more chill. And they're talking civilly. Isabela is seen smiling and not her overconfident smile, it is a normal smile like she is having a conversation with a friend. Mariano is a hopeless romantic, so the idea of one of his best friends turning into his wife is probably a dream for him. In his proposal, he calls her graceful, and the most perfect flower, he doesn't mention her looks. He calls her beautiful indirectly, but he does it by acknowledging her power and mentioning something he probably knows she takes time to practice and get right. He's probably seen her do her flower vine acrobatics and as an artist himself, he probably understands that even if she says it comes naturally, she has probably had to practice a bit to make sure she does it safely without hurting anyone. After he acknowledges her work, he calls her a perfect flower, recognizing her power and her efforts to be perfect but mentioning how she already is. He isn't a Gaston or a Hans because he doesn't just mention her looks, and this isn't someone he has surface level met. Isabela hasn't opened up to him probably, but they've probably had deep conversations as friends do.

[@marieguillou8808]

@@rosellaraven2222 Gosh, you're so right.

[@rosellaraven2222]

If anyone uses “but the flowers punched him in the nose” as an excuse as to why she doesn’t actually like him even as a decent person, it’s literally her pent up aggression of “I don’t want to marry him.” She doesn’t like him that way but feels forced to marry him because the family, Abuela especially, like the thought of them together. But she doesn’t want to marry him and it builds inside her as she can’t express it. She can’t be mad at her grand mother because her grandmother is the one she is doing it for so Mariano is the perfect candidate to take it out on. During the proposal scene, so much was happening that by the time Mirabel jumped, she probably got surprised and kind of flustered so the flower punching his nose was really accidental and probably more out of anger at the situation and taking it out on him. When she punches him with a flower again during her song, it is a moment of her letting go of expectations and again, she is probably still mad at him for wanting to marry her in the first place so she takes it out on him. I don’t think ISA would be happy to set him up with her cousin if she knew he was a terrible guy because Isa and Dolores aren’t seen to be aggressive towards each other. Also Isabel may not have liked the comment about the five babies and felt a little disrespected and even if a man is your friend, you’re still allowed to punch him for that kind of comment if you feel offended.

[@theTwilightSystem]

The portrayal of generational trauma is so well done. It's not something I see tackled often in fiction, but wow. Encanto did it. And they didn't cover any of it up. They showed the traumatic event. The impact on Abuela. How it changed her parenting style and caused unintended trauma of another kind in her kids and grandkids, but only because she was trying to protect them from what she experienced. And, above all else, I love how it showed Abuela acknowledging her trauma and what she did wrong, and how she took steps to change for the better. Amazing.

[@fp7988]

I love this about it too! And I read or heard someone else say that when they got their gifts back at the end, it could be about the fact that when we grow up in trauma we develop skills to help us survive, and just because they finally started healing and understanding each other didn't mean that they wouldn't have or need those gifts anymore, just like we would still have our coping skills...or something like that but probably said better by the other person :)

Also, Abuela isn’t your family, to you she’s just some fictional character you can decide to hate. She is still the matriarch and a big part of Mirabel’s life, so of course Mirabel would offer her an olive branch.

[@avanguline]

@GigglesDoesStuff I feel like people aren't realising this film is also about generational trauma on top of everything else. Abuela saw her husband murdered in cold blood with a machete right after being chased from the only home she ever knew, probably losing friends and family in the process too. The miracle, and the gifts bestowed upon her family, helped forge and maintain a new home. The idea of losing that again was scary. Mirabel not having a gift was a constant worry that the miracle was fading, thus endangering everything they built and everyone she loved all over again. Her unaddressed trauma made her act in ways that hurt her family without her realising it. Her character is to show that trauma can damage not only the one who experienced it, but their descendants as well because of the things they impart onto their children. Those harmful habits can be passed on, and affect people who weren't even alive when the original trauma happened. Abuela was in the wrong, yes, but she wasn't intentionally malicious. She was grieving, traumatised, and trying to protect the things she loved in the way she thought was best. And she learned in the end what she was doing was harmful, and started her growth and journey to move on from her trauma.

In the beginning, Abuela says "Open your eyes" to 5-year-old Mirabel when they're preparing for Mira's ceremony. Then, Mira repeats it during "Waiting for a Miracle" while facing Abuela as if telling Abuela to see her (Mira). Then, Abuela says it one more time in the final song when she finally sees Mira, and that is when Mirabel finally gets her gift- the next Candle Holder.

[@JorgensZelda]

I think she also asked Pedro's spirit to open her eyes to understand why the magic was weakening.

[@Ahianuenue]

It was a door knob with her initial (like everyone had for their special doors) not a candle holder.

[@mikayla2487]

When abuela's husband was killed, and the candle sparked, the mountains came up around them. Her walls came up and she knew that was how she would be protected and how she could protect her family. At the end where the mountain is divided, you see Abuela's emotions finally spill out. That's why I love the moment when hundreds of butterflies fly out between the crack in the mountain. The butterfly is seen throughout the movie, and is in Bruno's vision to save their home and family. The whole time, Abuela (and everyone else) just needed to let their emotions out. It is just a perfect movie. And it makes my heart happy. Encanto is for sure my new favorite movie. I could (and will) watch it over and over and over again.

I think of that a lot. The version at the beginning is very much what you tell a small child--safe, distant, not super emotional. The version we see at the end is raw and brutal.

Mariano drives me nuts, but it's a really interesting side story that is told through so many subtle details.

I love Encanto and I have a lot to say so here goes. There is a theory that Abuello became the Casita (they both do the little wave, there are butterflies everywhere which symbolizes his spirit and when Abella and Abuello met, and Casita and Abuello both do everything they can to help and protect the family). Also I believe that Mirabel is the next Keeper of the Candle (Abuela's role). She is the glue that keeps her family together. She is the most companionate, always knows what to say to help empower others. She didn't get a door 1) because that position was currently being filled and 2) because she needed to embrace everyone in her family, including herself. 3) To open Abuela's eyes to her mistake. Her role is to strengthen and help the family grow, something Abuela thought she was doing, but lost sight of the real reason for the miracle. Abuela has been mourning her husband for 50 years (throughout the movie she wears a black shawl to symbolize this) but after the scene with Mirabel she no longer wears it. I also love that the first thing Abuela does after opening up to Mirabel is hug Bruno symbolizing her embracing the future.

[@chgarciaro]

I love this movie because it touched everyone differently. I’m Colombian, and for most of us, the movie it’s about the internal armed conflict that we have had for ages. I did also cry during “dos oruguitas” because It reminded me of the time we had to leave our town because of the violence. My big family and my grandparents lived in this town, although not all in the same house. A beautiful town full of nature, but suddenly tormented by the war. We had to move to the capital city of that region, but the memories of my childhood remained in that small town full of magical stories and close to the nature. I’m surprised how this movie takes a different theme for other people, although for us is clearly about our National conflict. I’m happy that it’s so universal that anyone can relate. I’m sorry you are going through a tough time. There is always light despite of darkness, you just need to look.

You can't hurt a cartoon character, so having a thing for them is only a problem if it somehow causes harm to you.

I have a college degree in animation and I would like to say that we have entire books (literally) about how to make characters' physical appearance evoke certain emotions in the viewer. "Sexual attraction" is actually considered one of the easier emotions to evoke though subtleties can be difficult to tune. Eye shape, proportion of forehead to face, relation of pupils to the edges of the mouth...there are a lot of subtleties that go into the design of a character's face alone. Also, don't get an animator started on the gradual drift of eye sizes in animation unless you have time to spare. All of this is to say that I would be surprised if you were NOT attracted to some animated characters. They are meant to be attractive, every detail is designed to tell you who they are and to make you interested in their story. The artists who design and animate these characters are not just trying to make them look real, they are trying to go beyond reality and play directly with your emotions. Even animal characters are put through changes, sometimes subtle, sometimes less so, that make them more human and help the animators play with your emotions. So if you find certain characters from Lion King or Zootopia attractive that is nothing to be ashamed of, it just shows that the animators were doing their job.

Phenomenal movie. Something that really struck me about it is how, at the very beginning when you get Abuela's story about how they got their miracle, it's very soft and gentle. Abuelo Pedro walks into the river, holds his hands up, disappears. Abuela looks sad, gently reaching out. And then when you get to the end, the real memory from Abuela from what happened, it's SO much more raw and full of grief.

I have a disability so I can sort of relate to Mirabel being the “not-special” person in her family. This movie made me ache inside and also cry my eyes out. You expressed so many things this lovely movie made me feel and I am now low-key in love with you, congratulations.

[@leticiagm4962]

I totally saw that connection too! And how her parents only seem to see her and protect her, but you never see them interact with her sisters.

[@lahlybird895]

Hi hi Blind person here The ableism hits hard.

[@CarrieF90]

This entire movie just wrecks me on an intense emotional level. Mirabel's empathy and understanding is exactly what the family needed.

[@Renkin26]

I always thought that, with the end of this movie, Mirabel was always being set up by the Encanto to be the Abuela of the next generation. Basically, passing off the Encanto from Abuela to Mirabel.

9:01 "Get the sword!" GOOD! So I wasn't the only one that saw the connection between this and the big decision, "become a warrior" scene in Mulan!

[@mrssephiroth6592]

Being attracted to animated characters is a gift!!! There's no cure!!! Welcome to the club

[@Idiot_TaylorsVersion]

1:09 if you think that’s dramatic, just wait for the end of the movie. That part was so much more heartbreaking when it was shown at the end of the film imo

[@TiltedHalo]

I'm 41, no children, but LOVE Disney movies. I have watched Encanto at least a dozen times and each time I cry or tear up at the same parts. I can definitely identify with both Mirabel and Luisa. This movie has topped Frozen 1 and 2 for me! This was definitely an amazing movie!! Thank you for reacting!!!

[@saviorcompl3x]

FINALLY!!! So happy you reacted to it !!! I love this movie, because I’m Hispanic, and it shows the trauma we sometimes experience in our family’s! Encanto is for all ages!!

[@kittylover3545]

Yea is soooo goodddd

[@stuffedpotato9826]

I have a theory- I think Mirabel's power is to keep the Casita alive. 1. She is the only one who talk with Casita a lot and when she asks it to open doors, floors, drawers Casita opens them 2. In the scene after Isabel and mirabel make up and have fun and sing afterwards in the argument between mirabel and abuela notice how as mirabel gets sadder and more angrier and breaks down the house also starts to break implying her emotions and thoughts control the Casita 3. At last when Mirabel opens the door to Casita and it shines like how other doors shined when getting their gift. Which implies that the house is restored because of mirabel

[@Didi-tb7wd]

I really relate with Camilo as in a younger sibling that feels the need to act happy, joking and cheerful, or in his case shapeshifting to make jokes and take stress from others, that lead to feeling like Luisa as in the pressure of keeping everyone happy and not fighting was too much. I already bawled my eyes out with her song, I can't imagine how much I would've cried if he had a song about keeping the facade and internalized responsibility and selfdepreciation if things so wrong

[@Miss_Myth]

Maybe in the sequel? (I'm assuming there will be a sequel with how popular it is)

[@almaalbarea3887]

Yeah... And sure it is not nice to feel that you always have to be "somebody else". Even when they are preparing all for the Antonio's party, he have to be another person even for something so simple how to hold an ornament. I think that it should be a bit sad... Edit: sorry if my English is not very good ^^"

[@luciallamas3565]

I do agree. And I mean, he barely speaks but he has a unique personality and I’d love to know more about him.

[@barbarashield2289]

Loved this movie, the fact that they had normal voices instead of princess voices is amazing.

[@ScarlettM]

1:22 - you mean like the first minutes of: Tarzan, Cinderella, Frozen, Princess and the Frog. Dead parent is pretty much a requirement for Disney.

[@VaswTs]

17:02 I appreciate the fact that Mirabel checked if Bruno left safely so much❤️

[@ANDREITAGM261827]

I have to tell you that the places we saw in the movie really exist, like the Caño Cristales river and the El Encanto nature reserve, which you can visit for bird watching and have a good coffee. As a Colombian, I am glad that you liked the movie, thank you all.

[@missdeejay]

And the Cocora Valley, the home of the wax palm tree :)

[@dbseamz]

@@missdeejay ah, so I was remembering right that "cera" meant "wax"! I thought I remembered seeing it on a package at a craft store, but "wax palm" sounded unlikely enough as a tree name that I wasn't sure. Do they really have that platform-like bit on the top?

[@missdeejay]

@@dbseamz sort of, I mean, it would allow enough space for a human to stand with their two feet, but with one foot.

[@somerandomgoblin2583]

I had no idea, that's awesome! I'd love to visit, because it looks absolutely gorgeous.

[@amiroquet7476]

"I'm a little bitch and I'm proud" is the most inspiring sentence I've ever heard

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

Your reaction made me so happy. Personally, I think Encanto might be the best thing Disney has ever done. I've watched it multiple times, and it's so full of interesting little details that I catch new things every time. While there's a big cast and many of the characters only get a few minutes of screentime, the people working on the film did such a great job making everyone feel unique while creating family dynamics that felt authentic and relatable. Plus, the score really IS magical.

[@gustavoantonio7]

As a colombian i feel so proud of our culture and the good people that every day trying to makes the best for our country in spite of all our socials problems, the movie is the perfect reality of Colombia, i love it! Hugs bro 🤗🇨🇴✌🏻😎

[@saraangel6696]

The comment you made about the breakfast, it is SO TRUE! I am from colombia, and we would gather at my grandmother’s house EVERY DAY for lunch and sometimes dinner. All my aunts and uncles and cousins and sometimes even the priest lol A dining room here is USED, we don’t have “breakfast nooks”, we always use the formal dining room, we are not commonly allowed to eat in our bedrooms or the living room, and the family always eats together. It is indeed a regular thing unless you live alone (and we usually live with our parents until we get married, so into out late twenties or even thirties)

[@Larindarr]

I cried like never when I saw Grandma's side of her past because the lyrics to Dos Oruguitas matched the scenes and stories... (I can also speak Spanish) yep this song and Coco's recuérdame are my most favourites.
