[@andrewpeters6207]

@@JutlandAngel The visual story telling in this movie and foreshadowing is incredible.

[@andrewpeters6207]

@@JutlandAngel For me the part of this song that stands out as a cool detail, is that Camilo sings Bruno has a seven foot frame. Yet he transforms into him, and is clearly no where near that big. Visually this puts a doubt in our mind about everything else Camilo is saying about Bruno. However because he also transforms into other people at varying sizes, it doesn't fully spoil the twist.

[@dogge8680]

I love when Dolores sings “ I can hear him now”!

[@Sblfe]

Fun fact: since Dolores has super hearing, people normally doing stuff is really loud for her so that’s why she does stuff really quietly in the movie so when she’s quiet it’s normal for her and that’s why she was whispering singing in the movie 👌

[@turbostitchcw]

And if you notice, when she yells at the table about Mirabel being in Bruno's vision and them all being doomed, she covers her ears

[@brookerickettson4950]

You can also see at multiple points her covering her ears, like when the fireworks are going off at the celebration.

[@Jan_Koopman]

What you said about Bruno being blamed for natural events and him being a false prophet. He's not so much a false prophet, 'cause his prophesies are legit (that's literally his gift). It's just a case of: "Don't shoot the messenger."

[@wildfirefox1]

And he can do positive prophecies, as shown by Mirabel pushing him to find the butterfly. People just ask him about negative stuff I assume and are surprised when shit goes down lol

[@Miyanoai14]

I have a feeling a lot of the stuff the villagers blamed him for was him striking conversation. Like “hey your fish are gonna die” cause maybe she was shaking the bowl a lot. Cause he mentions later he didn’t prophesize the weather, he just thought Pepa looked nervous (cause she controls the weather)

[@who_needs_stairs]

He's actually a real prophet(that's his gift) but he actually says that he said this because the woman wih the fish didn't took care of it properly, the fat man ate a lot, and etc, even in pepa's wedding he says that he just saw how nervous she was and that it wasn't any prophesies(bc to make a prophesie he was to make a whole ritual-)

[@Jan_Koopman]

@@who_needs_stairs, I actually also read a post/comment somewhere that stated that it could've been just Bruno basically wishing Pepa a happy wedding, because in the local culture, rain on your wedding day means good fortune

[@shelliblossom8953]

my opinion is he doesnt really do alot of prophesies unless its family i mean all the villagers one are incredibly stupid thing and with how much work it seems to take with the one we see i would of just told them thing that are obvious

[@Jan_Koopman]

About Pepa saying "He flood my brain": She has the power to control the weather, but that power is heavily influenced by her emotions, so when Bruno prophesized rain, he flood her brain with the thought of rain, which caused it to actually rain (bc that's her powet). About Dolores's whispering: She probably whispers because her power is an extremely good sense of hearing.

[@sarahsatyr7133]

But later he admits that he knew she was stressed and nervous and was trying to hold it back. He basically threw himself under the bus and gave her a reason to "let it go" and allow herself to feel she's allowed to show all of that and then the weather just followed. I love that he did that for her then allowed himself to take the blame.

[@onyxciagreystone]

I’m hoping someone else mentioned it as well, but Bruno’s name was originally going to be Oscar, but Lin asked for it to be changed to flow better and that’s why we have “Bruno-no-no-no-no” and why his name is Bruno in final production. They wanted it to flow with the songs and instrumentals in the background which I find to be an amazing detail on everyone wanting things to flow well for the music and stories within the songs.

@@edadragneel1569 idk about the other stuff but that is literally how Luisa’s entire story was developed.

4:40 actually there is another meaning to it, because everybody in this family has a special gift/power and Pepa's (the ginger haired woman) power is that her emotions affect the weather around her and Bruno can tell the future, so when Bruno says it looks like rain, it literally floods Pepa's brain, because she starts to panic and causes the hurricane because of that.

[@TheIceQueen]

[@Th4n4n10]

Came here to say this!

[@Zenithiaz]

People talk about Dolores whispering because of her super hearing but I’m more interested in how fast she sings. She delivered lines twice the speed of any other verse, now my theory is that she talks so fast because the conversation and rumors, etc can slip by immediately so she needs to talk fast to keep up with things, and it probably helps her not get lost in others conversations when she talks fast. Or maybe she’s just a natural fast talker. Now this is a bad analogy of mine, but I myself am surrounded my sounds and can barely focus on what inn writing, so I’ll need opinions to get my brain working instead of being clouded by the sounds around me

[@psychochewy8982]

"these are all natural things that happen, but they all balmed it on bruno" i never thought about it that way but holy shit!!! def reminds me of how the entire family blamed bruno for their misfortunes. as much as bruno loved his family, he couldn't take all the blame and the toxicity and just "left".

[@world4saker]

another things Bruno can probably see whole timelines and using the glass helps his mind not turn to goo. he also follow the trope of the seer know what will happen and give the future in mysterious phrases or rhymes that you forget till the event happen is happening. take future of his family. Dolores love would be betrothed to another by half the movie we find out she likes the guy abuela chose for Isabella. now Isabella's future was to be free and do as she wanted and thanks to Mirabel she no longer has to be the perfect child she can make mistakes and her powers grew more that she thought. Mirabel had decide if after finding out the whole truth would she help heal her family or would knowing and then deciding everyone would live better if the family broke apart and live with their own families

[@SergioLeRoux]

Later in the film Bruno literally explains that he wasn't predicting any of the things in the song, he saw the rainclouds, that other guy's eating habits, something about the fish and the bald guy, but everyone was so on edge about him they thought he was causing bad luck with his powers.

[@Ladywizard]

@@SergioLeRoux well the rain clouds was him trying to relieve his twin's tension over getting married and having the powers she does it backfired. Fish was in too small bowl

[@Collidedatoms]

Well, and remember what was said about the only other negative prophecy mentioned in the song: "bruno says it looks like rain" which then gets resolved in the finale song: "Pepa, I'm sorry about your wedding day, I didn't mean to be upsetting, that wasn't a prophecy I could just see you were sweating and I wanted you to know that your bro loves you so, let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it goooooooo"

[@NeonAnt]

Saying "it looks like rain" means you don't think the marriage is going to last. And he said that... During a wedding... And he is a fortune teller... Even though he didn't mean it that way, that's how Pepa took it, and why she was still so upset about it. Which is why he had to specify later that it wasn't a prophecy.

[@HeartHelenaM]

I don’t know if you watched the movie already but when dolores said “i associate him with the sound of falling sand... shh.... shh... shhh” well his room is actually full of sand and his clothes have a sand hourglass imprint lol and i thought it was funny how when they are all singing around Mirabel the last line is “he’s here!” Talking about Isabela’s ‘to be fiancé’, but i immediately thought they were talking about Bruno since they are singing about him (and spoiler he’s actually still there probably hearing them lol)

[@stormburn1]

Another reading of “sound of falling sand” is that that’s how she interprets the sound of him obsessively throwing salt and sugar over his shoulder for luck.

[@Music-City-Mania]

We Don’t Talk About Bruno is essentially exposition in song done right. It’s so catchy and will be stuck in your head and yet lyrically it is pivotal to the story of the film.

[@loganb7012]

My favorite part is Dolores' because when she says "associate him with the sounds of falling sand shh shh shh" her "shh shh shh" also replaces the shakers and I just love that small detail.

The family name is Madrigal. A Madrigal is a 15-16th century secular polyphonic vocal style of layering 3-6 voices.

[@Glitchyybean]

11:17 What I've started also noticing here after enough listens is how Camilo's part actually switches up the way he sings the end of his part, which I really really like... I don't know how many people noticed it too, but listen to his part and then try to pick out his voice in the collage and you'll hear the difference. Also this song literally won't leave my head, "Surface Pressure" and "We Don't Talk About Bruno" are just stuck in there on loop no matter what I do :'P

[@rynaseryna]

Honestly I could sing "What Else Can I Do" with my eyes closed and no music in the background. Same with "We Don't Talk About Bruno"

[@ponyfairyVania]

He is not fake. The whole idea of Encanto is that Bruno and his family have magic gifts and his gift was the ability to see the future. But whenever he saw something bad or something someone didn't like, they started blaming him for making these bad futures. Also Pepa the woman at the beginning her ability is that the weather changes according to her feelings and mood.

[@gamecatharsis9600]

Just in case it helps. Everyone in Encanto related by blood has a super power except our protagonist. The first generation: Pepa (woman who had her wedding day ruined): controls the weather with her emotions Bruno: can see the future Julieta: can heal anyone with her cooking 2nd generation: (in relation to the protagonist) Cousin Dolores (second singer): can hear everything Cousin Camilo: shapeshifter Sister Isabella: controls flowers Sister Louisa: super strength Mirabel: protagonist with no powers

He wasn't being malicious or purposely trying to upset her and ruin her wedding. He even tells her to stop holding back her emotions and let everything out, which is the healthier way to deal with things, as she tends to bottle things up and that's what gets her so worked up in the first place. He loves his family and doesn't want to hurt them on purpose, he's just bad at socializing

[@SF64]

He apolosed for that, it wasn't a prediction even, she misremembered it as well as misunderstanding it. He saw how she had been bottling things up to make everything perfect (the issue all the others have been having, the matriarch had been convinced they should all be perfect and always helping others to earn the blessings they were cracking under the strain). He was reassuring her that partner would always be there for her come rain or storm, she should relax and stop worrying always. You can see the stress and anxiety in her throughout the film, trying to think happy thoughts and stroking her hair to calm down or get told off for allowing a bad mood create a storm.

All that stuff from Isabella's earlier lines (he told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine / he told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine) is the only prophecy that hasn't come true yet. Her power doesn't start to grow until her personal song later on in the movie, 'What Else Can I Do'. So when she sings 'I'm fine', it's an early hint that, like Luisa, Isabella isn't actually fine. At this point in the movie, she's not living the life of her dreams and her power is stagnant (nothing but perfect flowers).

10:43 - This song is used in the film as a kind of play on words. The name of the family concerned in the plot is 'Madrigal'. The term 'madrigal' is an older English term for a type of song - multiple melodies are introduced, one at a time. Then they are all sung at the same time. It's a creative type of songwriting technique which was popular in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. (Late 1500s to the early 1600s).

[@Helden_Daddy]

I always loved how he flips the “he told me” verses toward the end “he told me that the life of my dreams” are all ascending, highlighting the positive prophecy, contrasted with the “he told me that the man of my dreams” is flipped upside down, descending in pitch to highlight the sorrow.

...what did I just read..?

[@henrybassett3346]

The Encanto song called the The family Madrigal has rap in and is very good song

[@Kerby78]

I’ve got a 3 year old daughter who just loves this film, and all the songs are dope, I literally cannot get them out of my head. Lin-Manuel Miranda is such a good songwriter and he hooks you in with every song. You should check out his songs in his film Vito, so much more rapping and full of bats for you to break down

[@EnabiSeira]

What I like about (most of) Disney songs is that, they aren't just "simple" songs, the characters are singing those songs and thus showing who they are and how their stories progres through the songs themselves. This movie has that on every. single. song. _Dos oruguitas_ is one of the most emotional songs of the movie but it is near the end and if you didn't watch the movie yet go, watch it, cry a bit, and come back later xD (it's in spanish, although there's an english version from the same artist)

Petition to get Knox to go down a Lin-Manuel Miranda rabbit hole. You need to do surface pressure and The Family Madrigal (so you know the premises of these songs) also please do some Hamilton songs as they are bar heavy as well (watching the entire musical is very much recommended as well 😉)!!

[@robertolanzone]

Yes! As a rap afecionado, I love Hamilton and it singlehandedly got me into modern musicals 😂

[@m.c.blobmedia]

[@Tonso_fun2023main]

There is a video that shows how the creators of "Encanto" got their animation to fit beautifully with their song, They used real actors to dance and sing to the dance they had plotted them to do and the animators copied that and drew the dancing and mouth movements onto the computer to make sure they got the right movements to make it seem real. 🙂

Fun fact, the entire Encanto movie was supposed to be musical but was changed into an animated film. You should also watch the Surface Pressure song from the same film.

Bro do a break down on Surface Pressure also from Encanto. Even better!

[@MrBlakeD82]

I love how Pepa starts with "It was MY wedding day" and Felix follows with "It was OUR wedding day."

[@Luminous_Star_21]

If you listen closely at the end of the song you can hear Dolores singing “I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine” and “I’ll be Fine” which was a small call back to Angelica and Satisfied from Hamilton. The man Dolores is in love with is in love with Isabella. Similarly how in Hamilton, Alexander loved Eliza and Angelica loved Alexander too. The attention to detail! The connections! Lin Manuel definitely did amazing with the songs for Encanto. Definitely my new favorite Disney soundtrack.

[@josephtrochez5420]

Great reaction! Would love more reactions of disney songs! Also the reason there are so many bars in Encanto it’s written by Lin Manuel Miranda. Dude who wrote Hamilton! You should do a live stream reacting to that!!! Also side note. Loving your new album. I got Hip Hop is Dead on repeat! Keep up the hard work!!

[@dailymadness5159]

It is a great song, but I personally love "Surface Pressure" more.

Perfect storytelling from Pepa & Felix, that smooth 'rap' from Dolores, Camillo's amazing performance, Isabella's perfect voice & scene eluding classic Disney princess & all of the verses complementing each other in the best chaotic way... I mean, it's perfection! Great analysis! 👍🏼

[@irishpotato9670]

I’d just liked to point out that the audience can hear certain sound effects, for example, 11:11 you can hear the glass connect together. I think they did this as a way of letting the audience know what Dolores can and can’t hear.

[@ryaku5]

9:33 "You have all these different voices and it's almost like, chaotic, but it's organized at the same time..." Me: You ain't heard *nothing* yet.

[@doge_king2532]

10:07 finally! someone acknowledges Mariano's funky walk, as if hes on the runway strutting his stuff. Also, does Mariano not see Camilo undoubtedly mocking him? Is he blind? Is that why he "couldn't see" Dolores??? We need answers people!

[@ClaudiaWowPaw]

Is it even possible to dislike this song? They did some magic with it. I watched this movie over 2 weeks ago and I still have this song stuck in my head. Every single day I think of Bruno.

[@MrWizeazz]

This song reminds me so much of Lin’s other song “Non Stop” from Hamilton. It’s so well put together how it pulls from everyone’s parts and puts them altogether at the end. *chef kiss

[@HeadDetectiveLassie]

Also, "96000" from In the Heights.

[@onjimsaladpie7476]

And Blackout also from In the Heights!

[@eatmypanart]

Non stop is one of my favourites!!!!

[@swatson5880]

Convergence of characters in a song is a staple in most and in my opinion usually one of the best songs in a sing through musical. Rent, Hamilton, and The Secret Garden all come to mind. This will be another that is top of mind when I think of examples of songs in the round. I just watched the movie this weekend with my kid and I was floored. So good!

[@jacobbarnes8695]

So Bruno tells the future and is shunned for it he cant help it ge cant stop the visions but people hate him for it just because he is forced to see the future

[@emptyduckling]

hes not forced but people dont like the visions that will happen

[@nexunaut3890]

This was fun! My kids love this song. Can you do the song "Surface Pressure" from Encanto?

[@paytonkraft7564]

Little tidbit, Bruno was actually in the song. In the bit where the second char goes "I associate him with the sound of falling sand," he's up on the second floor walkway, jamming along.

[@devinbaeten13]

This is one of those productions I will never stop admiring…

[@wuxie42delacruz54]

I love how the whole we don't talk about bruno song is a foreshadowing , a foreshadowing of the chaos later in the movie just Genius!

[@k.whatever9046]

the second character was whispering bc she has super hearing and everything is loud for her anw. if u pay attention you'll notice that the bg noises of their footsteps and skirts swishing etc get amplified during her section too 😁

[@davideads2238]

I also want to see a breakdown of Surface Pressure, but you really need to see The Family Madrigal. It's the first track of the album and also a great song. A lot of thing won't make sense, or will go over your head without listening to it first.

[@td6124]

Love this guy. Talented. Knows how to analyze music and has a great voice also. And so dang handsome too! Lol. Keep going forward man.

[@FreedomFighter2112]

All the lyrics for Encanto’s 8 songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie. The music for Encanto was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer

[@misterlou4207]

What I always liked about this song is that "Bruno" sounds just like "You know" before this song, a common expression I heard a lot was "we don't talk about.. you know!"

[@DieselWeasel]

The entire soundtrack is fire, but you should really react to "The Family Madrigal" to get a sense of the world and the family dynamic. Also, while this song is an earworm, I think "Surface Pressure" is better for a number of reasons.

[@dukeskunk]

Fun fact: Bruno was originally named Oscar but was renamed just to achieve that Bruno, no, no, no scheme.

[@sabfilms1312]

Lin Manuel is like the master of layering different phrasings on top of each other! Every character is given their own distinct phrasing or melody and when he layers it it becomes beautiful chaos 🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️

[@knowledgeabledude2971]

I just love how the backgrounds and stuff happens during the songs in this movie and by the end of the song no one talks about what happened. Except the song Isabela sang when she discovered that she isn’t limited to just flowers but other kinds of plants as well

[@roryschussler]

The video "How 'we don't talk about Bruno' works and why it's amazing" goes into how the song is not only musically great, but is perfectly integrated with the movie's symbolism, themes, and storytelling as a whole. The Madrigals are singing a madrigal about the missing part of the Madrigals.

[@owenreaperreviews3417]

Now you can see the brilliance of Lin Manuel Miranda, please can you react to the opening number of “In The Heights” there is a lot of rap involved

[@diana_igf]

Yes please!!!!!

[@monstergaming4467]

This is funny because I literally just watched this movie 2 days ago, also delores is probably my favorite part of this song her verse just flowed so well and she topped it off with great singing

[@christianmarshal6117]

Bruno has the power to predict the future and the red haired lady has the power to control the weather… unless she gets really upset and then the weather can get… a tad rough. The girl from the next segment has a powerful sense of hearing, then the boy who was the son of the first two can shapeshifter. All the people in her family have a magical gift except for the main character and the grandmother.

[@natalienguyen9278]

Fun Fact : Every Madrigal has powers except for Abuela and Mirabel. The thunder from the first scene is Pepa’s power (the woman who is in yellow). Her powers/magic as an example is alone controlling the weather around her. Bruno, her own brother however, has the power/magic of prophecy, hence why they’re telling Mirabel to NOT talk about him (even though they are…?).

[@lordphoton]

First off... How do you have daughters and have not watched Encanto with them yet? Secondly, Lin Manuel Miranda wrote this music. You should really react to all the songs from Hamilton. LMM is a genius and Hamilton songs have bars upon bars.

[@mfrey5643]

This was written by the same person that wrote Hamilton. I have always enjoyed Disney movies, but I don't think I have ever been impressed by a Disney movie until this one. You should react to Family Madrigal!

[@troyota6438]

You really need to react to Surface Pressure. It has a lot of metaphors all through out it.

[@HannibalFan52]

Fun Fact: Adassa, who provided the voice of Dolores (the lady with the super-hearing) nailed her part of this song in one take. By the way, Bruno's visions aren't fake. It's just that people mistakenly blame him for causing the events he predicts.

[@nitheshkrishna3602]

The girl sings at second is Dolores, she is voiced by Adassa. She said in an interview that she has given the idea to whispering in Dolores part.

"The Family Madrigal" has some BARS. You should check that one out too! it also gives a general preface to the show.
