Can I mention that in "Welcome to the family Madrigal", abuelas part is the same melody as "Dos Orugunta" at the beginning of both. One is slower than the other and there at the ends of the movie symbolizing abuela and abuelo are split by death.

[@Tuxedowc]

The one Bruno that was behind dolores was camilo

[@JohnSimpson36]

Because they are alien plants, jacarandas are harmful to the South African environment and eco-system. It has therefore been made illegal to plant new trees.

Did anyone notice the old lady in 0:21 looks like coco?

[@rejektbop9924]

Also when the Dolores was singing she said “I associate him with the sand of falling sand” and what is inside an hourglass

[@trinaq]

I liked how there was no twist villain, with the primary conflict centred around the family's past. Plus, Mirabel never received a gift, but she never wanted one, she just wanted to feel a part of her family.

[@ivycream7228]

Agreed

[@JaganshiChelsea]

Let's add that this is not the first POC Disney movie to feature a family member with no gift. Up Up And Away also had this. The kid didn't get powers at all and yet he still helped his family and saved them all

[@j.d.e.7416]

She did receive a gift, just not at the time everyone expected. And IMO, she always had a gift of bringing forth truth (which is not always something wanted or pleasant, but always necessary). Just by being herself she was able to get hidden truths from her sisters, truth from Bruno, truth from everyone around her...

[@moisturizednoodles6621]

she didnt get a gift, because she WAS the gift. she was there to fix the family and open her abuela's eyes.

[@elisa48092]

yeah..a weak one, but not so bad

[@jennifermartinez3032]

Mirabel was the gift. The miracle. Thats why she didn’t get a door. Also when she felt left out or sad, the house started cracking. That explains why when the rebuilt the casita, she gets the front door, she is the Casita , the gift, the miracle.

[@faye_2]

Also her dress as big and little Maribel have butterflys all over .... Indicating her to be the next Wonder. After the first wonder to her grandmother ensured surviving of the family, the wonder of Mirabel ensures healing and thriving of the family... They complement each other.

[@kookoo9800]

I don’t know if she’s the casita exactly but rather it/her family was her gift and her door disappeared bc she already had her gift and it wasn’t something like Antonio’s that was super obvious and different requiring a special room for it, it was just her home and her family

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

@@kookoo9800 Thank you for that. I was frustrated at the end of this amazing movie because I felt it ended too abruptly and without telling us Mirabel's true gift. I appreciate you breaking it down so eloquently! 🤗🥰🤗

[@MaK1000LA]

This is so beautiful I agree, I think she is the next one conectes to la casita. Like she is the next step for the family to keep going and as you expressed it to heal.

[@MarauderFox]

Deeep

[@bendoucet8641]

Another Small Detail: Each of the powers of the Madrigal triplets (Julieta, Pepa and Bruno) is tangental to the passage of time. Julieta's gift is that of healing, which reverts one to a past healthier state. Pepa's emotions effect the present weather conditions. Lastly, Bruno is able to see into the future. This also lines up with the order of their birth, Julieta being first born, Pepa the middle child and Bruno being the youngest. Edit: To a certain extent this even goes further into their personalities and characters. Julieta is the closest tied to the family's traditions and strives for her daughters to find their place in it. Pepa's intense emotions have a tendency to change from moment to moment, rarely lingering for too long. Bruno's always worrying about his own 'bad luck' and constantly tries to curb it with throwing salt and knocking on wood; worrying about what the future holds for him.

[@trinaq]

That's insanely clever, I never would have picked up on that before! Thanks for the heads up! 🥰

[@kappa_studios]

That's very true! But also, I think the knock on wood thing is a stim (perhaps he's autistic?)

[@theoriginalsache]

@@kappa_studios That's definitely a possible reading, but it has roots in old superstition (throwing salt and knocking on wood are ways to ward off bad luck) and if you live your whole life being told how unlucky you are, well, I can see those habits being picked up as a way to try to communicate to people, "See! I'm not unlucky!" Basically, symptoms of deep-seated trauma. It's demonstrated by the time we meet up with him that his self-esteem is in the toilet and years of isolation have made him go a little batty. So, less stim and more a compulsion. He probably genuinely believes he has to do those things to counteract the curse that he feels is his very existence, even if he knows that superstition isn't real.

[@felipe8ap]

@@kappa_studios nah. In Colombia the act of knock on wood is to prevent bad thoughts or in this case omens to happen. So when he knocks on wood all the time is like to prevent a bad future he saw to happen. So its more like a tick now

[@kappa_studios]

@@theoriginalsache Aaaah I did not know that thank you, I just recognized the repeated obsessive behaviors in my younger brothers, who are autistic and have ADHD ^^

[@christensummers9641]

Mirabel was meant to be the next keeper of the house/magic. That’s why she didn’t get a door right away. Abuela wasn’t ready yet to let anyone else but her protect what they were given, so she didn’t accept Mirabel. Once Abuela and her finally made up and she was truly accepted into the family, she was able to open the door to the house for everyone else, meaning she was taking on the role of the next keeper. The magic was disturbed when both keepers were at odds, and ended up being destroyed. The old house was gone, and once they rebuilt it and she touched the door, it became the new house with her as the protector.

[@francescafrancesca3554]

I like that reading a lot. Thanks for sharing it

[@theANAESTRELLA]

Love this response!!!! Beautifully said.

[@marylally693]

That was exactly what I thought. Abuela was the keeper of the miracle, but she was not going to last forever so the candle had to pass to another keeper. Mirabel was chosen as the next keeper. That is why only abuela and Mirabel can hold the candle and why their rooms where in front of each other. Abuela was holding on too tight to the magic and her desire to have control, so as a result Mirabel's door did not light up the first time.

[@cupcakeandbunnyandbeyond8314]

When Dolores says “he wants five babies” and Isabella blushes she grows a bunch of flowers but one white flower and when abuela notices she picks it out saying “our PERFECT Isabella”

Abuela also straightens her shoulders and hair then too. Also after she says that dolores glances right at her so im sure she wanted to rattle her lol

[@lemon_the_spider]

When Mirabel went to open her door, when she was young, she wiped her hands on her dress. When Bruno "saved" her from falling in the walls, he told her that she's sweaty! The consistency of little things like Mirabel having sweaty hands is amazing!!

Here's a detail you missed! When Mirabel is setting the family table for breakfast, you can see each of the plates have each family member's name enscribed, as well as their gift. Antonio's plate already had animals on it , even though he hadn't gotten his gift yet!

[@leaserfamily5749]

[@tupapa010]

but also its bcs Antonio loves animals

[@gracebradesku9662]

when mirabel gives him the gift under the bed it has animals on it. also she gave him the jaguar stuffed animal and he then was close with a jaguar

[@ketchup710]

another teeny tiny detail: Notice the remarkable irony on how Pepa's children (Dolores, Antonio, and Camillo) are completely in control of their gifts when Pepa is not, while Julieta who is completely in control of her gift gave birth to children who are secretly struggling with their's (Isabella, Luisa and Mirabel - with no gift).

[@sarahprince2412]

Ooh, good one. Didn't think of that.

[@celestryrose6687]

Also that the husband's are opposite but good matches to their wives. Accident prone to the healer. Happy go lucky to the mood/weather changing redhead. Minus Mariano to Delores.. he speaks loud. 🙌 Ha ha

[@gulbozbek3989]

I kinda felt like she was always the Casita's favourite person, even if she didn't have a gift. And I think her gift was to be the next Abuela, the ruler of the family.

[@prismaduque5532]

I think this too. I think her role was bigger than a gift and thats to take the lead and ensure the magic/family continues after abuela. Not to mention she had no "gift" but was able to have a vision of the future. At the end, Casita kinda puts Maribel first.

[@ARCY1080]

If you watch the scene where Isabella gets scared from hearing "he wants 5 babies" and generates flowers in her hair. Most are the normal perfect pink and purple flowers, but one WHITE daisy. (She lost control of her perfect persona) and abuela sees it and has a look of concern and picks it off her hair as she says "perfect isabella". Another cool hint at the family drama!

[@lja4025]

In Latin culture, food is thought of as healing. Specially if it’s cooked by our moms or our grandmas. Its so comforting it’s almost like it has healing powers

[@kanjigodomo9696]

Other Easter eggs in the movie include: The triplets' gifts affecting tenses in time (Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno affecting the past, present, and future respectively) Madrigal Messages (the gifts that the Madrigals were given are more like messages to help Abuela grieve, alongside other life lessons) Dolores' Earache ("dolor" translates to "pain" in Spanish, and you can see her flinch and cover her ears when something gets loud for her)

Something else you might have missed if you're not South American: The Madrigal's are what is known as "desplazados", meaning people that had to leave their towns and build a new one due to the guerrilla. Butterflies are important in this context as well.

[@mafeweigel]

Guerrilla, paramilitaries and the same army. Don’t ever forget that. Guerrillas were really never the main problem because the problem continued, like the drug dealing didn’t end up with Escobar and the forced displacement didn’t end up with the FARC dismanteling. This movie is based in “realismo mágico” and One Hundred Years Of Solitude is based on the banana massacre that was perpetuated by paramilitaries financed by the US State Department to end the strike of the workers of Chiquita Brand. Colombia’s forced displacement of civilians is a complicated issue involving a lot of factors.

[@kmystikb6622]

Also, don’t forget that the reason she doesn’t have a “gift” to save the family, aside of Abuela’s perspective, is because everyone have been so consumed with their own gifts they are forgetting their place in the family. That’s why Mirabel is so close to casita. She’s not overpowered by a “gift” that she can see what everyone is dealing with and what needs to be taken care of. Foreshadow: Casita holds the family together (physically)> Mirabel takes care of Casita (emotional connection) > Mirabel have been and will be taking care of the family and holds it together (mentally and emotionally).

Mirabel doesn't really have a room of her own. She's been living in the nursery room her whole life. That's why she and Antonio were roommates until he got his door. It's another symbol of how much she is cast aside by the family. Since she had no magical door/room, she was relegated to staying in the baby room her whole life.

[@lilhypnotique]

Here’s my list: -Abuela’s children are the three facets of her personality Bruno: Inaightful but Paranoid and Cautious Pepa: Holding everything together while fighting emotional break downs but still having them Mirabel’s mother: Loving but has the need to fix everything -Bruno’s prophecies were general and left to interpretation. Fish died, but we kno certain fish last only days. Guy get fat, but what did he do to get fat. Guy loses hair but that’s something natural. Plus what was the time frame of these predictions. Dolores literally telling everyone that Bruno was still around. Mirabel making her own miracle at the end of the movie. It’s that they “don’t” talk about Bruno, they “can’t” talk about Bruno, probably due to Abuela forbidding them to. Felix was literally about the spill the beans and Pepa stopped him and basically changed the story about her brother, she was literally happy to see in the end. Dolores secretly telling Mirabel Bruno is still around.

[@silly_goose.03]

Another thing was at the end whenever Mirabel was walking up to the door to put the knob in you’ll notice that Antonio is holding her hand. Almost like it’s her door and he’s supporting her like she supported him. 🥰

I loved how the Madrigal family, although each exceptional, felt familiar and relatable.

Bruno’s prediction about Isabella someday having the “life of [her] dreams” was accurate in an unexpected way: it initially seems to refer to her simply being Ms Perfect, emphasising the apparent unfairness Mirabel perceives when every other prophecy cited was negative, but it’s actually about her being able to relax and enjoy being her true imperfect self.

[@edujavigopi]

As Colombian, I enjoyed the movie, and also I know how hard it is to represent our culture, because not even all people in our country is aware about how rich we are in culture, so different from region to region, that's what makes us so special and unique. For Colombians as well, I wanna know if I'm the only one who thought about Omaira (from the natural disaster occurred in Armero) when the entire house fell down upon Maribel.

I didn’t even realize that some of the Madrigal family members can have such problems. Like Isabel for example, I didn’t realize she was following her abuela’s expectations and that she was really sick and tired of her life being perfect and of living a dream. It’s literally telling us that we all have our own challenges to battle and not everyone can understand that.

[@vVAstrAVv]

Well theres a ladder and bucket next to the cracks so its a recent job

[@qtpi6268]

Some things I noticed: The song "What Else Ean I Do?" Is also a nod to Frozen, as it's kind of the "Let It Go" of Encanto, with the bursts of magic and the one singing it finally being free to explore their power after being stuck. The reason Luisa is with donkeys a lot is because they're an animal of burden, they carry the weight, like Luisa. Dolores is almost always whispering, until she loses her power or is singing what Bruno told about her future. She also holds her ears during the big celebrations. In "We Don't Talk About Bruno," after their verses on their future, you can hear Dolores and Isabella saying "I'm fine" or "I'll be fine," though faint. Abuela has a black shawl with throughout most of the movie, symbolizing still not recovered from the loss of her husband. During the first song, "Madrigal Family," Mirabell sings, "full of stars and everyone gets to shine"(or something like that) and in the last song "All Of You," she sings, "you're all stars that want to shine, but stars dont shine they burn"( or something like that-) And finally- Isabella had the most pressure to be perfect because she looked the most like Abuela did, and Mariano also kind of looked like the Abuelo(sp?). She was also most likely at least slightly jealous of Mirabell, since she could go and do whatever she wanted

[@marylally693]

Yes, and not only Isabella was the one who looked the most like Abuela, but in the scene where Bruno was able to see the full vision of Mirabel's future, both Mirabel and Bruno confused Abuela with Isabella. The vision was showing that to save the house Mirabel had to love her abuela. (with whom she always antagonized) but she thought it was Isabelle because they looked alike so much

[@summertime6785]

*Encanto* was such a wonderful *Disney* movie. The story and music were both done perfectly.

[@_primrse_1252]

Also, in each branch of the family, they have a kinda specific color or shade they wear, for example Pepa, her husband, and their kids wear yellow, and Mirabel’s family wear blue, with the exception of Isabel for most of the movie when she wears a light purple dress, which is a bit like a combination of Mirabels “family color”, and how Abuela wears pink, and Isabel seems a lot like Abuela’s favorite grandchild. Just something I noticed!

[@qtpi6268]

Yeah! And then at the end, she turned her dress blue, kind of like she was finally fitting in with her family, but it also had more colors to it, like Mirabell's

[@claytongriffith8323]

Yeah that's what the video meant when saying Mirabel's family wear cool tones and her cousins wear warm tones

[@robynp5917]

It's a little harder to tell, but the Madrigal women's clothing all tie back to Abuela in some way. Julieta's family all have scalloped edges on their clothing - Mirabel's is most noticeable on her white blouse (notice how it's like a larger version of the collar on Abuela's dress and Mirabel's is also trimmed in black - kind of like being the black sheep of the family). Luisa has smaller, more pointy scallops on her blouse and Isabela has the scallops on her sleeves. Pepa and Dolores both wear yellow, the shade of which matches the petals on Abuela's collar. Also, Pepa's veil has scalloped edges on it.

[@melodi2036]

By not receiving a door, Mirabel was the reminder to Abuela, & all others, that the Encanto’s gift is each other. It was all about family. The only reason they were blessed was so that they could be safe, stay together & live on. Abuela lost sight of what was important, putting so much emphasis on “keeping it together” for everyone & the village when, in fact, it was causing them all to drift apart.

[@NAVEMAN3]

In hind-site, the family is dead lucky that Mirabel didn't turn into a shut-in after the door disappeared. If that were to happen, the house would've been torn appeared much faster and sooner, and with Mirabel as a shut-in would never have save the house.

Isabel also releases petals when she's nervous or in shock.

I think my favorite part was the different telling of the families origin story. Specifically the difference in emotion in Abuelas face when Pedro’s death was described by mirabel in the beginning and abuela kinda just looks sad when he dies but at the end when Abuela is really describing her trauma, you can see the pain in her face. The pure sorrow. She can finally understand why her Abuela feels the way she does. So beautiful and subtle.

I am from Brazil and, as a portuguese speaker, although I can kind of understand french, spanish, italian and a bit of romanian (since these languages have lots of similar words), I was already aware of "Mira" being "sight", but every time I hear "Mirabel" somewhere in ky mind says "Look well/Take a good luck", since "Bel" is similar to the word used for "good/beauty" in portuguese

[@scratchworkproductions9375]

The gifts each person receives seems to be an enhanced version of a passion or hobby what they already have. I know Antonio is the only one we see before receiving his gift, but there is strong implication that he has a love for animals even before he gets his gift, Mirable gifts him a toy she made and calls him her "animal guy" Then using that same logic of hobby tying to their gift, when we look at Mirable she is cover in different threads, colors and embroidery representing here love to create and make things her own. (She even wears little pompoms as earrings) Her love for sowing, embroidery and thread become a physical representation when she later TIES the family together. Mirable's outfit is covered with different colors of thread, each one could be a representation of a family member. This just further shows her love of her family and how she brings them together not only in the end but metaphorically as well through the colored threads intertwining on her clothes.

[@alejandraesquer155]

Casita's power doesn't work inside the family's respective doors. We see this when Mirabel goes into Bruno's door/room and Casita cannot "follow" her. Casita deliberately didn't give Mirabel a room of her own but kept her in the neutral "nursery" room. Once she touches the candle, the doorway disappears and instead she is fused to Casita's power.

[@Eblt3]

Encanto is what the better version of what happened to Elsa and Anna''s family. The parents' in frozen kept Elsa locked up and "controlled" it in the unhelpful way. Encanto encouraged all the powers to be controlled in a way to benefit everyone

[@melodi2036]

We could almost argue that Isabela and Luisa's struggle was similar to Elsa's. Isabela had to be very controlled/never wild, and Luisa concealing not feeling. Both pretending everything is fine while feeling so much pressure from Abuela

[@andyleclerc3600]

First off, I don't think Lin knows how to write a bad sing, lol. What I liked about this movie is that it was about FAMILY, and that every family, even gifted ones struggles with relationships from time to time. I also liked the fact that Mirabel learns that everyone feels insecure...not just her. I was able to relate to her very easily, despite being as demographically opposite as you can get from Mirabel. I sometimes feel like the family oddball, myself. Finally, the animation was just great, amazing effects, and what a color palette.

[@ritasushiro]

I don't think anyone noticed that yet, but I watched Encanto yesterday, and I noticed that when Bruno and Mirabelle met, he had a bucket and was keeping away from the wall, which I'm pretty sure he build himself to be lighter than the rest of the wall, as if deep down he knew what his future entailed. He prepared the wall and the bucket for his escape when the house collapses.

[@andrice2598]

I get it now Abuela was praying for a miracle. The miracle that the house (their safe haven) wouldn’t be taken away from her or her family. Without realizing til the end that Mirabel is the miracle she is the glue to the house and the family. Her gift is that she keeps both up but her and Abuela’s conflict completely destroyed the foundation (and hurt mirabel internally). So they needed to literally, from the ground up, create a new foundation in unison together.

[@claytongriffith8323]

I noticed in We Don't Talk About Bruno Isabella's prophecy seems to be good reflecting how we/Mirabel think her life is a forever fairytale but she only got that future (living the life she wants and her powers growing) by going through the event that "ruined her life" so it's still a bad Bruno vision

[@robynp5917]

I love the strong floral motif carried throughout the movie mirroring the family conflict. Flowers tend to be thought of as a soft and delicate but some are capable of growing almost anywhere, like cracks in a sidewalk and some are, as Isabela points out, carnivorous even if they look pretty. Obviously flowers also serve as food and shelter for insects and fit in with the change and rebirth theme. Some species, like fireweed, grow well in the ashes of a fire. Although I do find it interesting that Antonio is the only male (besides Mirabel's father) whose clothing carries on that motif, but only when he's getting his gift.

In the video, you talk about Bruno and Luisa's references to "Frozen", but not Isabela's.

Two things 1) Anyone notice that Pepa wears yellow clothing. Julieta wears blue-ish clothing. And Bruno wears green. Yellow mixed with blue = green. Going to prove that the Past (Julieta's ability to heal past injuries) + the Present (Pepa's ability to affect the current weather) = the Future (Bruno's prophecy ability) 2) During Antonio's gifting ceremony, Abuela says "We have a new gift" and everyone cheers. Notice that when everyone cheers, Delores covers her ears because at that point everything is loud because everyone is making a sound at once.

[@Hayrange]

This may be super subtle and almost unintentional, but the way the doors light up and flicker with the house's unstable energy in Encanto reminds me a lot of how the islands of personality flicker and fault in reaction to Reilly's core memories shifting in Inside Out. Probably not a very direct reference, but it the scene where core memories start falling out of place and the islands of personality shut off kind of reminds me of the scene where Mirabel first sees cracks and all the lights in the casita start to flicker. Just a similar vibe.

[@annafowdy]

Someone pointed out to me that the tiny rainbow sewn on Mirabel's dress (the top part) was pink, purple, and blue (the exact same colors as the bisexual pride flag) and I told them that Stephanie Beatriz is bi. For some reason, the person I was talking to was surprised.

[@archhelix]

Another missed out detail about the design she sews on her clothes! Being the only one without a gift, tho her parents said there's nothing to prove, she still does want to feel special and be seen, and she even authentically admits that her saving the miracle might also be for herself (so straightforward!

What I picked up was, Mirabel isn't the only one without a power. The Grandmother doesn't have one either. She's just the house's keeper and Mirabel is the only one who talks to the house. That being said this is probably more proof of how similar they both are, while being on opposing sides

“I went to Juilliard” lol…I know Alan Tudyk is saying that almost as if to say, “I went to Juilliard…and this is all I get?” But I think its safe to say that-that high level of education/training isn’t going to waste & is the reason why he’s so damn good & POPULAR, no matter what roles he takes on. Notice how ANY movie/tv show he’s either been in or done voice work for are the most popular. I remember the first movie I saw him in was “28 Days” with Sandra Bullock & Viggo Mortensen. It was about the reality of drug/alcohol addiction & the struggles that we’re faced with while in rehab. He was HILARIOUS, & relatable on a serious note.
