Overanalyzing EVERY REJECTED Encanto Character! - An Encanto Theory and Discussion!

You know Mirabel Augustin and Julieta. Dolores Camilo Bruno and Pepa. But do you recall the long list of scrapped Madrigals? Well, you're about to! ^^
Yup in this week's Encanto Theory , I'm taking a page out of my "What's Inside Every Madrigal Room" book and playing another game of "let's be creative!" AKA, I'm gonna take a good long look at every unused Encanto character that the behind the scenes and special features could muster and break them down! This includes their designs, descriptions and apparent gifts. Plus I'll be throwing some of my own thoughts on what they likely could have done if they made the final cut! I honestly love the film the way is it, characters, story arcs, songs and all, but it can be fun to think about what we could have had if things were different. ^^ And trust me, there was a LOT of cool stuff left on the cutting room floor with this film!
P.S. - Apologies if the organization of this video is a bit scattershot. I tried to fit as many characters in it as I could and it may seem a little all over the place at times.
P.S.S - Go check out The Art of Encanto Book AND Scott Watanabe's portfolio! They're freaking awesome! And if you have the cash, maybe consider getting the hard copy of the art book if you enjoy it! ^w^

Hey guys. ^w^ Just a quick pinned comment since I've been getting a lot of the same comments. 1. I could have sworn I put the link to the free Encanto Art Book in the description, but I guess I didn't. Apologies for that. I must have really been tired that day. Anywho, here it is! As well as a link to Scott Wantabe's Encanto Art. ^^ twitter.com/DisneyAPromos/status/1489350178591043584 www.scottwatanabeart.com/encanto 2. I know that Julieta, Pepa and Bruno are siblings, ok? That's obvious to literally everyone.. XD I should have specified that I'm glad Bruno didn't have any MORE SIBLINGS since he really didn't need any more. And my comments about Pepa and Leta are what I think would happen if Pepa had an EXTRA TWIN or DIFFERENT TWIN, since Julieta is technically Pepa's twin sister in the canon movie. X) I think most of you understood what I meant, but for those who didn't, there ya go. (Also when talking about Alejandra, when I say I didn't want anything combat oriented in the movie, I meant within the family. The soldiers that killed Pedro don't count. X) )

For Alejandra my thought after you said that she died fighting, gave me the idea she was abuelas sister that died in a desperate attempt to save her sister and new nieces and nephew but died against the men who also killed Pedro. Since it was before the enchanting house she had no gift but was very talented while her sister was the beauty, showing how Isabela, trying to continuously be perfect and looking like abuela as a younger woman would have Luisa being extremely strong and looking like Alejandra as well. She came into the movie during the flashbacks to her own death while telling her sister to leave her to die fighting the dangers to their village. Thanks for reading ✨

@@emeraldemperor2601 Personaly I don't associate dolorous with sound, just with pain. Also because you might, or not, make sound when you're in pain depending on how painful it is. But the point is, Dolores must have had that name for a long time. I'm looking at an image of the whole family with their color palet and they all look the same or extremely close. Even the clothes are the same or are slightly different. This was not an early stage of the development because they're all here looking the same and with the same names written underneath. Even the powers seem to be practically the same, except for probably Pepa (who might have been indestructible or fire related), Julieta and Dolores. I know that because in the very first image of the family in the book they look the same as in that page of the color palets with the names, and the one girl I hadn't recognized (because she looks like a mix of our current Julieta and Pepa) I now know is Dolores because of the other page with the name, and she's carrying a tray fool of food. I knew from hearing it before that she had had Julieta's gift, and in that context it makes sense like Camilo being from chameleon (which is also camaleón in Spanish). The family were more than created at that time, except for Dolores and Pepa's final physical appearance, so it'd make some sense they'd keep the names. Maybe they could have swapped Dolores' with Julieta's, but their decision, really.

[@brolytriplethreat]

Maybe Julieta was originally Leta. One can't be hurt and the other keeps others from being hurt. I remember reading that Augustin originally had Abuela's role of founder of the Encanto and something about magical doorknobs that lead to another dimension, the Encanto. Punk Isabela could have been cool and I just love characters with swords. It would have been too many characters. It already has arguable too many already since most of them don't really do anything and are ignored for pretty much the whole movie. I don't think a tv series would fix it. They would probably still be ignored and Disney has a poor track record with their movies that become tv shows and with sequels. I hope it's just the one.

[@rosie-Queen-of-hearts]

You know assuming Disney doesn’t cancel the recently confirmed Encanto series it would be very cool if they used the scraped characters to make a family to parallel the Madrigals. It would be cool if maybe their head of house was like a love rival to Abuela for the affections of Pedro, and maybe when they were fleeing the town the two could’ve argued about how best to evacuate and half the town went one way half the town went another way, and because of some other trauma the Abuela counterpart experienced her family got gifts too. It would be a very cool idea to explore some of the less touched upon characters like Camilo and Dolores. Who knows maybe there could be a plot where Camilo ends up falling for one of the people from the rival family. It’s just a random idea I thought of while watching the video and considering that the Encanto broke so it would now be possible to see new characters.

I love Alejandra's design!! She reminds me to Mulan, I hope we get to see her in the future.

[@tahraethestoryteller6079]

Personally, I would love to see a more adventurous daredevil Pepa; maybe if there's a sequel movie or TV series, we'll get a flashback of younger Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno With Bruno being her "Leta" so to speak, since it's a popular headcanon that they were close when they were younger before Bruno left, I would like to see Pepa become more anxious as she grew older, and her powers grew more out of control, and Abuela began forcing her to keep it 'clear skies', forcing her to grow up, especially after she had Delores, Camillo, and Antonio Edit: now that I think about it, Julieta would be the Leta, since she is a healer

[@yalibethlosadacosme6330]

"Bruno doesn't need any kind of siblings" Pepa and Julieta: 😶

[@hoshghk]

I think Fuega isnt necessarily her name and more of a nickname, as a latino myself, its common here for people to get nicknames relating either to their appearance, personality or background, for example if you're white and blonde you'd likely be called "galego/a" (not a great example but oh well), so as far as overanalyzing goes, my guess is that she had another name but people just called her Fuega and thats what stuck.

[@PettisCo.]

5:05 tho it is SO funny

[@hariman7727]

NO SELF DEPRECATION! You're a good man, Finn, and you make good videos!

[@slimcognito383]

Having a counterpart Bruno to him would have ruined the arch we got with him. It more about seeing the general path laid out for you whether it's seen as good or bad is up to the person it's about. So have him being more blunt about the future while his counterpart sugarcoats things would have made him less fun in my opinion

[@cass6082]

I don’t know if Alejandra was meant to be dead, maybe her power was turning to stone…Alejandra (the fem form of Alejandro, the Latin version of Alexander) means “protector of mankind”, so I would assume that she would be similar to what Luisa became, a more protector role for the family. Somebody with a tough and defensive gift who views it as her role to keep everyone safe

[@Hi-gb8kw]

Wow, this video was a lot to take in, incredibly engaging, funny, goofy, and really interesting too! You kept me here for the whole entire video, I was never once tempted to click away. Props to you! You definitely deserve more subs, like waaaay more. You got one from me though!

[@textingstorygirl4062]

I'm just loving your content... I have a new theory person to watch when the others haven't posted in......heck weeks

[@grahamtopa5757]

Also... Pepa, Bruno, and Julieta are triplets. Sry if I spelt "Julieta" wrong.

[@haileyfr13]

You spelt Julieta's name right.

[@Goth_and_toons]

Fun fact American girl doll josifina is an extra in this movie! It looks exactly like her! I bet it was made for someone’s kid. You can see her the most where the two kids were trying to climb the stairs Edit I watched the scene again it kinda looks like josifina she just has a collar this time instead of not having one

[@Solanin0803]

Hey man, your ideas are pretty neat and you are absolutely hillarious.

[@beamrunner0471]

I would love to see Zoe as a protagonist of her own movie or show. I always had a love for tinkering & engineer type characters in the odd mechanical creations.

[@littlebodymusicalheart]

I feel like Fuega in the movie would make Encanto 5x better. And I also think that she could be in Pepa’s Side of the family.

[@clockworksproductions3288]

My theory for Alejandro was maybe their gift was turning to stone? Since they’re a statue in that drawing? Or maybe it is just a statue of them and they are dead Edit: one like till we get to the funny number

[@justananonymouspotato]

Alejandra** also she’s supposedly female

[@clockworksproductions3288]

@@justananonymouspotato I mean yeah, but I’m too lazy to edit it

[@aff77141]

Fun little look through! I can see a lot of things in the final movie that the artists kept as an inside call back to the concepts, such as Pepa being changed to act more like Leta likely would have-plus using the idea of Fuega's powers being effected by mood, combining beta isabellas personality with princesa ("princesa perfecta isabella" by the way anyone?) then pastel purple making a mix their colors together to show it, Beatrice's green possibly continuing onto Bruno, and ofc Mirabelle's brief stint with the accordion in the movie. Recycling ideas and merging them with others to get the perfect match is definitely a big thing when you're making something as extensive as a feature length movie, which is part of what makes art books fun

[@pieceaisa5046]

i absolutely love your perspective

[@jacksong3666]

i thought Julieta, Bruno, and Pepa were triples? is this not true and they were just not very good at showing that? because they are all born on the same day but in present day they all seem to be different ages

[@octavianjoseph8633]

No, they are triplets. I don't know why you're so doubtful of that fact. Pepa and Bruno just look really good for their age, surprisingly.

[@Wonbaeofficial]

That’s probably because some people turn out to be like that. For example, An aunt of mine is 53 and yet she looks like she’s in her early 40’s. Meanwhile her younger sister, who is only 49, looks 50-55. I think it’s common for siblings to look like different ages despite having the same birthdate.

[@rori_thequeen]

They are all 50 in the movie!! Yep they are triplets!!

[@ayal92]

I'd watch an entire movie about Amelia and Sofia.

[@jeshuarestituyo284]

They can always explore these cut characters in the series or something. Something that I have to mention that’s really important is that Encanto’s universe is based on magical realism where magic and people coexist like it’s nothing. So there’s a 99% chance of other people and families outside of the encanto having powers and people just think it’s normal. So we could see Mirabel exploring the country and finding some of these characters!

The picture of Beatriz looks the same as Mirabel on pages 88-89 of the artbook. There are also a lot of versions of Mirabel in the book with a green outfit and a yellow flower in her hair.

I mean, technically, tarot reading isn't exactly reading the future. It's actually more complicated than that. It's supposed to help you kind of...move along. Tell your story and what's troubling you. That's probably why the tarot-reading girl would be more popular. She tells people what she sees, helps them move along, and maybe sugarcoats it.

[@theboy2721]

8:54 thats why he didn't get into the film

[@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115]

I found a new connection between Abuelo Pedro, Abuela Alma and Mirabel. In the audiobook of the Encanto animated film by Disney Press. The audiobook says that Pedro owned a dress shop in the original town that they lived in. After being saved by Pedro from raiders in front of his shop, Alma learned how to sew and started to work with Pedro. My theory is that the sewing machine that is in Mirabel's room, originally was owned by Pedro and Alma. Maybe Abuela taught Mirabel how to sew some time before her fifth birthday and Gift Ceremony. Which would explain why Mirabel loves to sew so much! 😁🧵✂

[@elletoki]

Actually Beatriz was originally meant to be Mirabel! Mirabels voice actress is Stephanie Beatriz so originally they wanted to hint at that with her name!

[@DeathnoteBB]

6:04 Tbf Casita is made of stone, so definitely not ash

[@Trim1013]

5:30 Bruno had a vision of her powers

[@blxxdthxrsty1016]

I think that the concept art of the girl in the pant suit with the four diamonds might have actually been there way to tie frozen 2 into the movie, just like the four elements

[@graqwe]

thats a big jump to conclusions

[@starlightdollproductions5136]

Now I just want the unused characters as future family members. Also I feel like Zoe would be either Mirabel’s daughter or granddaughter

[@any.user.allowed.]

Immediately after u said it was free I was headed for that E-Book, it would be cool to see concept art to learn how they do it.

[@m4y013]

Maybe some of them(especially zoe) speculatively will be the great grand kids of alma that will appear in the encanto series i mean we don't know at what point in time the encanto series will release and how long it would run. It could be a month, year heck even, decades from the movie end

[@Elfieee13]

When Bruno has two sisters in the movie It's still a great video but you did miss that

[@Dayillixxy]

"Dig in the right spot to find it" like the song I've been looking for for months that I happened to randomly stumble upon yesterday? Cool.

[@chaoticjoy3401]

I feel like there still could’ve been a way to fit Alejandra into the story without having any major changes like a battle or fight. Like what if she was Abuelas sister? And she died on the way to the encanto in the same way as Piedro, fighting their attackers bravely while protecting her mourning vulnerable sister after the sudden death of her late husband. Dying painfully as the grief of alma unleashed the miracle of the encanto. That would be soooo cool, and an perfect reason why the casita would have a statue of a fallen warrior and a beloved family member (no gift necessary)

[@Knockoffedd4581]

If they ever want to make a second movie they could use these characters in some way. Which is what I love about cancelled characters. They can be used any other time as long as you put them on something like paper or a screen, you could reuse them any time

[@backfired384]

9:36 Or she could just turn things into stone...

[@jiirokaito]

With all this, Encanto should have been a series, but I'm still glad Encanto was a movie.

[@matth2283]

15:27 is also a pretty interesting character concept if you put together the pictures as she seems to be the same character. Like a power to make imagination real. Like waking up from a dream where you were swimming to have your whole room filled with sea water. Or thinking how long and boring that book is just to have in literally lengthen.
