DONATE TO MYANMAR REFUGEES:
100% of what is donated goes directly to the aid, none is taken for overhead of any kind as the volunteers all cover their own expenses.
At this point, hundreds of thousands of people have been internally displaced because of the brutal Burmese Military Regime who have been arbitrarily murdering, maiming, committing sexual violence towards, forcibly relocating, and torching houses of, innocent civilians. They have also imprisoned pro- democracy journalist and activists, no one is safe there.
Feb. 1, 2022 is the one year mark since the Burmese Military Junta staged a bloody coup, ousted the democratically elected Government and turned what was a burgeoning democracy on it’s head. And the fighting is just intensifying. There hasn’t been support from the International community and the citizens have done a fiercely brave and incredible job of standing up for themselves. There are still daily protests all across the country, calling for the Junta to step down, and all of the ethnic armies fight with their lives daily, the CDM (Civil Disobedience Movement) and PDF (People’s Defense Force) movements are making change. Villagers who have already been worn down by Covid, economic crisis, and the Coup are also helping their own people, from inside Myanmar and from Thailand. The Burmese diaspora is helping worldwide.
I think it is fair to say that there is a lot of turmoil in the world and not everyone can care about each crisis, so we thank you very much for your contribution here, for whatever reason made you want to help.
Here is a recent article written by a journalist who went into the informal camps of refugees and IDPs with us this week, along the Moei River, in Mae Sot, Tak, Thailand, this is the real story of what is happening: www.aljazeera....
The IDP and refugee camps, don’t have enough drinking water or food, and with recent, unseasonal rains in Thailand, they have had to sit in the cold downpour with no cover. Diarrhea and cold like illness is rampant and people are wearing down from living in extreme conditions and stress for so long. A hot, clean meal, warm blanket, pain reliever med, drinking water, goes so far to keep them going.
Here are some ways you can help:
1. Donate funds so that we can continue to purchase dry food goods and essentials in bulk and prepare emergency ration packs for families and hot meals, drinking water, medicines.
2. Join the fundraiser event for this channel at the end of February. ALL proceeds go directly to aid. Subscribe and hit the bell notification so you don't miss it!
3. Hold some kind of fundraising event and donate the money towards the cause, can be a sale at your business, a home event, online event, get creative.
4. Share the Facebook ‘event’ with a few words about why you have donated so far to encourage others. e/21FN9AibB

[@PlutozReal]

You cut off the best part of the song

[@Valandar2]

Honestly, I think that if we HEARD Abuella Alma scream in that moment of abject grief, it would take AWAY from the power of the moment. As it is, that moment is probably the most absolute, pure moment of anguish and despair I have ever seen in ANY animated moment.

[@Gooberpotomous]

Agreed, by not audibly hearing her, you hear her in your soul

[@charlidvds3296]

If you were experiencing it you probably wouldn’t hear your scream either…

[@ESPHMacD]

Its not a scream you hear, its one you feel that just breaks your heart. Just watching it you can see how completely her whole world collapses.

[@snoopygonewilder]

Agree 100%

[@zarnolite]

I wailed and sobbed when my brother was killed. The sound of my own scream from that night is seared into my memory. I think that without hearing Alma's scream, it leaves it open for us to project our own traumatic experiences onto what's happening in the scene. For me, it made me think of the night my brother was killed, and that's much more powerful than any voice over they might have added.

[@KristinaLopezWrites]

That's our abuela's stories. It's so hard to explain the Latin and the immigrant experience, pero Lin really showed how the generational trauma is born - not out of entitlement - out of fear and loss and so much love that it becomes this survival mission to keep going. I cried and feel grief for all mi gente whose land, people, families, and loved ones have all been lost to our countries destabilized and history broken. This song is so powerful and I'm so grateful it was sung in Spanish - it means that much more to us.

[@giupinkfairy]

Ojalá más de estos coaches siguieran la letra junto con el simbolismo de las mariposas... Igualmente, yo creo que es una batalla ganada que agreguen conflictos sociopolíticos latinoamericanos en las producciones de Disney. Que sea la primera de muchas y ojalá que ganen el Oscar, se lo merecen.

Definitely. The movie is so insightful. You could tell they did research and talked to and met people with lived experience

[@avidanime158]

a mi tambien, mis abuelitos were both born in times of the depression and world war 2 and they immigrated here and so much other, like. They went through so much, they are so strong for pulling through. It is because of them I'm able to live this life

[@tomsautocadstudio6446]

I don't think generational trauma is unique to poc (people of colour.) communities though ask any culture on this planet and you'll get stories of humanity at its worst.

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

I actually think NOT hearing Abuela Alma scream makes the heartbreak more impactful. You can tell from the pain, grief and anguish that she is devastated. I could even feel it just from watching it. And I don’t know if you noticed but Isabella and Mariano are practically identical to Alma and Pedro. It’s why Abuela was projecting; she wanted Isabella and Mariano to have the life she never got to have with Pedro, which put so much pressure on Isabella.

[@morgandiaz6822]

I just noticed that and now I feel it so much stronger

[@ComandoPadentro]

I completely agree about not hearing the scream... less IS more. The pain is perfectly conveyed without any sound.

[@sjaak9568]

I agree, I don't think I've ever seen a face animated like that in any Disney movie ever. It's heartbreaking.

[@kerochan85]

Hearing it would have ruined the magic. You can imagine it as painful and anguished as you can manage

[@der23]

I like to think of it as a visual of her suffering in silence

[@mirandab905]

My favourite detail in this whole movie is how Mirabel’s clothes have butterflies on them - mariposas. Abuela Alma is the Oruguita: holding on too tight, so afraid of change in a world that never stops changing. Mirabel is the mariposa who teaches the family to let the walls down, look to tomorrow, embrace change, and reunite.

[@snoopygonewilder]

That's perfect. :)

[@xx0XXllCHAOSllXX0xx]

Eso es exacto lo que significa ;) Muy bien dicho

[@Kairi1416]

Aaaaaayyyyy this just made me tear up. You're right.

[@dizzyMongoose]

One of the subtle Easter eggs in the movie is that the bloodline family members have a symbol embroidered on their clothing that represents their miracle -- except Mirabel, who has symbols for all of her family embroidered on her skirt.

I wished you finished the whole song, when Maribel and Abuela hugged and then the lyrics oroguitas transformed into mariposas. It’s truly enchanting to both eyes and ears!

[@stellaferraz1668]

One detail that really caught my heart on this movie is that, when telling her story to her descendants, she spared them from the painful details. If you compare how she tells the story to Maribel years back and how she retells it every “door” event, in the memories, her young self is not crying, screaming in pain… She just looks a bit sad. This time, Maribel gets to hear how painful it actually was. Many times, our ancestors will not share the gruesome details of their past that have shaped them into what we have got to know of them. But the more we grow old, if we have the wisdom, we start understanding it and having mercy on them for their flaws…💔😔

[@truejustice3028]

This movie was based on a Colombian civil war (Political Left-wing vs Right wing) after the assassination of President Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, over 2.5 million Colombians had to flee their land, my great grandfather lost his farm basically lost everything so this song cut deep, I'm sure a lot of people in the world can relate to this story.

[@JorgeGarcia-xe4mx]

No it was not… it’s not based in a specific event of history, it’s a depiction of the general violence that has happened in colombia basically since it’s independence and it’s still going

[@matthewgreene719]

That is heard to hear and more painful for your grandfather to have gone through. I’m glad that other ethnicities are not only represented through physical appearance but through cultural significance as well. Some people like to overlook truth in fiction because they see a Disney movie and dismiss it as just that, but their ignorance blocks them from connecting and empathizing with others. Thank you for sharing.

[@Azaghal1988]

wasn't it based on the Thousand Days' War? Most comments I've read pointed at that one based on fashion and technology shown in the movie.

[@jaimepe4765]

@@Azaghal1988 Yes, it was indeed La Guerra de los Mil Días (arouns 1900), not Bogotazo.

@@jaimepe4765 where does it say that? As far as I know, Disney hasn't released an official explanation, so everything is speculation. Forceful displacement has been around in Colombia from the very beginning of the country. There is no political message or guilt towards anybody, just plain, old daily violence, like the one we see everyday in Colombia today

I was looking for this comment 😂😂😂

[@alexiscabello5598]

I haven't seen this in the comments yet, but look at how Abuela moves throughout the song. From the care-free girl with the love of her life to the widow holding onto the miracle to protect her family. In the beginning she is swaying and over exaggerates her movements to then standing straight with minimal movements at the end. These are details I absolutely love and it just shows what she has gone through.

[@marcelaestupinan4323]

Hi Audrey:) As a colombian, this song hits so hard. This part shows how the colombian armed conflict has affected our country for so many years. I can't stop crying every time I watch this part in Dos Oruguitas, is so sad because is real. Also the representation of this hard topic in a Disney movie is very important. Great reaction! thank u!

[@Arella17]

My favorite thing abot Dos Orugitas is how the meaning still shines through even if the listener doesn't understand the language.

[@jenniferlawless3565]

I really really hope this gets to be performed live at the Oscars and is nominated for best song.

[@losfp]

Everyone always talks about Bruno (and with good reason.. it's amazing!) but IMO Dos Oruguitas is the most powerful song in Encanto... and I think might be my favourite Lin song that he's written. That's a big call because it's up against some heavy hitters. I love that the scene HAS no dialogue, but you know exactly what is happening and what everyone is feeling at every moment - this is masterful storytelling both in the animation, editing, songwriting and performance. Great reaction as always, Audrey :) For anyone interested in diving more into the music theory behind Dos Oruguitas - Howard Ho has just released a new video doing just that - it's worth seeking out if you're interested - all his stuff is amazing for music theory nerds.

[@saragruber1019]

Lin had said its his favorite as well infact it is the song that he had put forward from the movie for Oscar consideration

[@chrisclark7170]

The song is the soul of the movie, it is for this song that the movie exists.

[@user-qx6ri2bf4o]

Sebastián Yatra has a lot of ballads like this and his voice is so calm and amazing! ❤️🇨🇴

[@haddow777]

This song really does such a great job. The candle was the holder of the magic, but to Mirabel's Abuela, it was the tombstone of her husband. A constant reminder of what she lost to get the magic that saved them. Since you watched the movie, I can point out that when Mirabel brings back the magic, there is no candle. I personally think Mirabel took its place. For Abuela though, the removal of the candle is a removal of the burden of her past. So many layers. It was such a well thought out movie, which just adds so much to songs that are also so beautiful.

[@kingintern7566]

My favorite bit about this scene is how it contrasts with the way this story is told in the beginning. In the beginning, the story is told with just enough detail for us as the audience to understand, while minimizing the emotional impact, much like how an adult would tell a child the story. But here in this scene, we get all of the raw anguish, something that probably no other family member had ever seen or been told.

[@jduquel1]

Hi Audrey! Yes, you pronounced it correctly (Dos oruguitas -Two Little Caterpillars-) 😉. This song and its lyrics are both beautiful and painful. This is a representation of my country’s cruel history (in the past with several civil wars and guerrillas). People were and are still forced to leave their homes and find a new future. Also, you should add the last part of this song and perhaps a reaction to its English version. Love your videos, keep up that awesome vibe!

[@snoopygonewilder]

Yeah, the ending really makes the whole song come together. I'm glad I can understand it because it has such a much stronger impact when you understand the words which is why I'm glad they did it in English for the non-Spanish speakers.

[@cha0s933]

Once young Abuela Alma’s crying scene starts I just start bawling and this song is just so beautiful

[@AndyBomb]

I like both the spanish and english versions of this song The Spanish has more emotion, you could tell the guy singing in the studio was feeling the emotion of the scene and I'm glad that this version was the one shown on screen. The English version is musically better. The singer uses a stronger approach, and belts more, so you can really admire the vocals.

[@Valandar2]

The Spanish version is not only more emotional, it blends with what is on screen better. The English is standalone, so... yeah.

[@TYGVlogger]

Also it’s because he’s Colombian so he felt every single word

[@nessabrcb5137]

yeah but that's why the Spanish version is better, because the song is not about the vocals but about the emotions conveyed with both the story and the song

[@sarahstrobel7303]

I was glad they didn't include the sound of her scream. I've heard that kind of scream and anguish in real life and my mind filled in the sound on its own, my chest constricted, my heart clenched, and my throat tightened. It's the kind of sound that no matter how good an actor is they truely cannot duplicate it. I was shocked they animated that facial expression so well. That sound comes from a deep place and is full of such grief and anguish that I hope most people never hear it.

[@torytellstales]

Not only was the music everything in this movie, the VISUALS were everything, so seeing Alma cry instead of hearing it was more emotionally impacting, they did that on purpose because that was all in the past, same as how they never allowed you to hear what the grandfather or her voices sound like when they were younger

I sobbed like a god damn baby at this part...

[@AllTheArtsy]

The animation is non-diegetic except for the sound of the horses' hooves, because it's not a character song. Of course, we know that that's Abuelo Pedro, but he is not a character in the story, per se. And not hearing what actually happens except for the horses (and even that is not at all loud), gives the scene a cinematic effect. We're watching it happen and not hearing Abuela Alma scream and cry is more heightened, than if we did. It's almost like we hear ourselves cry for her.

[@mexa_t6534]

The way this movie depicted generational trauma is unlike any other movie I've ever seen. It makes a lot of different, seemingly conflicting ideas coexist as all simultaneously true and shows that she is not a black and white character. She's not a bad person, but she cultivated a toxic environment that had a bad impact on her and everyone else. She had good reasons to be afraid, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that she has inadvertently hurt her family and failed to recognize it until things got critical. She didn't fail to realize out of ill intent, She was blinded and paralyzed by fear. There's so, so many layers and so much uniqueness to her character and at the same time she's, sadly, a reflection of a reality that a lot of latin american families have lived and still live. She's not a bad person at heart, she's a product of cirumstance. Her neglect and hypervigilance, her need to control everything and everyone around her while turning on a blind eye to the damage it is doing are all bad things and this movie makes it very clear that she was in the wrong. We see all the anxiety she created in her family and their suffering is never downplayed to justify Alma's behaviour. At the same time, we all know she's a fundamentally good person, even if her trauma has driven her to make choices that hurt other people. She's not the villain or the hero, she's a victim of the true antagonist of the film: environment and circumstance. It's not easy to make that message come across in a movie, yet the writers did it masterfully. The sincerity and care that went into this film is just...out of this world.

[@ProfessorWhooves11]

At the beginning of the movie, when Abuella is telling her story, her grief is downplayed in the animation to her just softly sinking to the ground with a soft sorrowful expression, showing she couldn’t bring herself to be fully honest about her grief. So when she is opening up to Mirabelle during this sequence, we see just how devastating the whole thing was when we see her true expression of despair, the scream so deafening and heartbreaking that they don’t dare to let us hear it. She is finally allowing herself to be vulnerable after suffering in silence for so many years so she could be a source of strength for her family as the matriarch. I made such a scream when I was about 9-10 years old. My mom was on the phone with her family in the Philippines. Lolo, her father, was sick and didn’t have long left. She had just confirmed her flight and was ready to fly out soon. He told her he was tired and she told him it was okay to go to sleep. He closed his eyes and he was gone. All while she was on the phone, unable to see what was happening. I saw her run inside and crumble on the couch in tears. I knew right then what had happened and ran to my room. I loved my Lolo. I may have only seen him twice in my childhood, but I loved him. I loved guiding him around the house because he couldn’t see anymore. I loved sitting beside him and just being with him, talking to him. So when it hit me that he had gone, I buried my face into my bed and let out a scream so guttural and painful that my throat had become hoarse for awhile. My dad had to come in and comfort me after he left mom to recollect herself. I still cry whenever I talk about him. I don’t think I’ll ever stop. But I know he’s not in pain anymore. He can see as clear as day now and he’s always watching over me.

The music transported us into the memory, her love, pain, and loss.

[@waiyanmk9466]

I only find out right now but thank you so much for raising awareness for Myanmar.The same tragedy still continues to happen in here and your support is a big help for our people ❤️

[@t3rror5am]

I cry every-time, our abuelos went through so much to keep us alive to keep us fed to keep us going. They went through so much💔

[@kevincala7023]

We learned from our history and we are managing to build the country that we Colombians dream of, long live COLOMBIA, the country of magical realism, what an honor to be Colombian 🇨🇴❤️

It’s hard not to tear up over this song and the movie scene.

[@tioqq8492]

I cry everytime...

[@DonnellPrince]

Beautiful song, my daughter love this movie. I felt so touched by this song.

[@percephore]

Listening to this song again, I've just noticed that when abuela sings her verse in the Familia madrigal song she uses the melody of this song.

[@montanavanbeek8832]

I cry everytime I watch Pedro die because me and my fiancé just had a baby and the fact abuela has to raise THREE by herself is heart wrenching idk how I would even survive losing the love of my life

[@SerenityM16]

People in a fb Encanto meme group: Dos Oruguitas: Oh boy, time to cry again!

[@pepper1206]

Being from a Latin family, when I heard the lyrics, I started crying it reminded me of my grandpa

[@camiloalbertoarteagapaness3127]

You didn’t see the last part of the song, is the most beautiful but is after a second of movie, you should see that is literally music for the soul

[@chrislee5362]

Ooh, good point about the screaming and crying over the music. I actually wish they'd done that. This movie really got to me, and especially this scene, but wow. Now I feel like I didn't get the full experience.

[@Galladh]

No sé hablar inglés, pero creo que no pusieron el grito en esa parte porque el momento "fuerte" de la canción viene adelante. En español, la letra habla de una evolución y cuando las oruguitas se convierten en mariposas es cuando la música debe romper con el ritmo suave que llevaba hasta entonces para hacer referencia a la fortaleza ante el cambio. Faltó analizar esa parte muy hermosa.

[@kevincala7023]

Aprendimos de nuestra historia y estamos logrando construir el país que los colombianos soñamos, que viva COLOMBIA, el país del realismo mágico, que honor ser colombiano 🇨🇴❤️

[@TYGVlogger]

Please react more to Sebastian Yatra!! His songs of his new Album Dharma are amazing

[@danielvalentino3675]

This was the song entered for the Oscars, not Bruno...the more I watch this song, the more I understand why it was chosen. This song is impactful, brutal, soft and emotional. It is everything the movie has built up to. Surface Pressure and Way I go had their themes, Bruno and Madrigal were fun and I'm Not Fine was emotional...but this song was all of it, whispered into our ears.

[@thisisjamsomewhere]

I hate listening to this song because I cry. Every. Damn. Time. It's just so beautiful and sad, and the feelings are so strong. You can feel the loss. I hate it and I love it.

[@johanliebert8375]

This song is becoming more relatable.

[@SpiritedHeart94]

Maybe not over top of the music, but to hear like a whispered scream in the background as this beautiful song is playing overtop of it would be *haunting* to watch/listen to.

[@NaturallyMe2011]

I only saw it once before watching this video. But the way its animated, I thought I heard her scream, it's animated and directed so well. I heard it in my mind. And it was gut wrenching

[@theoreticallyme]

You have to listen to the last verse! You’ve caught the change in vocals as Sebastian Yatra moves from talking about the caterpillars to the pupae but you’ve missed the song’s final change into butterflies. I’d recommend both looking into a translation to see how the themes impact the performance but for sure listen to the final verse. Right now this misses the uplift that is the payoff to the pain you’ve ended on.

[@MissSirenita]

The butterfly scene was also stunning. There’s more to the video. But knowing the lore and hearing the pain Sebastián Yatra adds brings me tears.

[@timvanderburg6039]

I don't understand a word of this song; I simply soak in the tone of tenderness and love, and am devastated by the sacrifice and love in the video. The song becomes quieter as Abuela rebuilds and her children grow, but she never gets over the loss of her Pedro. You cut out a bit too early, as the song takes on a tone of hope and joy as the sun rises, and Abuela and Mirabel reconcile.

[@abhiramiabhijith8091]

I kept crying hearing this song

[@aryastark6644]

This song always make me cry!!! I can't control it
