You mentioned 2 of Hercules' labors from Greek mythology, but everyone seems to miss a third reference. Luisa is asked to reroute the river right before the guy says that the donkeys got out again. The First Labour of Hercules was to clean the Agean Stables, which were said to house so many horses that it was filthy again before anyone could finish cleaning it. Hercules solved this problem by rerouting a river to wash out the stable.

[@JediBlueDog]

It was his fifth labor.

Though a bit of a stretch, her gathering the donkeys could also be a reference to the tenth labor: Capture the Cattle of Geryon

[@ValeriaHernandez-06]

Yeah. Also I hate that people always says that the references of greek mythology are to the movie of 1997. That Hercules movie wasnt even accurate and only by checking the real mythology people can understand better. The last labor he did was to take out Cerberus out of the underworld so the reference could mean in this like she always feel that she has to do it no matter how hard or dangerous it is. That no one else can so she has to do it. Since the labors for Hercules were so he could be forgiven for killing his sons and wife, they were imposed and were putted by the expectation that he die doing them. With Luisa could just be more like no one actually cared that they were hurting her with all that pressure.

I definitely felt bad for Pepa on having to control her emotions, but it being a vicious cycle of constantly worrying about it and that worrying making things worse.😥 Also, I love that the movie showed characters that are complex and more than just one trait/characteristic.😊(One of the reasons I felt bad for Luisa too since she only thought of herself as strong because that’s all that people needed of her 😞).

[@terbear5120]

And kudos for Mirabel to recognise that in her sister and acknowledges she takes on more than she should. Luisa is sensitive and takes her duties seriously and works hard. It's a shame no one notices this except Mirabel (until the end that is when she finally gets her break in a hammock and drink in hand).

[@Jay-Zech]

I like how everyones gifts are kind of their curse. Like, Isabelle’s gift forced her to act perfect in ways she didn’t want too. Luisa’s gift forced her to essentially carry everything for everyone. Bruno’s gift forced him to tell people things they don’t like. Dolores hears everything but can’t keep a secret. And Pepa is forced to control her emotions constantly, something she’s not good at.

An adult joke I noticed is that in Columbian culture, when someone says it looks like rain to someone on their wedding day, that means you think their going to get divorced. Bruno meant it as a joke, but that's why Peppa got so upset. Another detail I noticed, this one about Camillo, is he genuinely is a nice person, but he doesn't do many things by himself, except for when his parents are around. Like, he only really does work when asked, and then only as someone else, because he's been taught the only thing about himself that is useful is his gift, meaning he's not useful, the people he shapeshifts into are the useful ones. Like, even on their family tree you can only see his head, because he's swishing his yellow cape thing.

The two characters that made me go "I feel seen" were Luisa and Bruno.

Bruno because his superstitious routines remind me of my OCD.

Also it's important to say that Bruno's "knock knock knock on wood" is a Latin American way to cast away bad luck, when someone tells us something bad could happen our answer is saying "toco madera" (aka knock on wood) while touching something made of wood so that's another cool detail as well (I'm from Mexico but it is known to be done in manh countries)

For me and my family (we're all Colombian) the "war" is actually The Violence, it was a period of a kind of civil was with political undertones during the 50s. People would flee their homes because of the Party they supported. My mom even said "Los chulavilas" (a common name for Blue Party members, conservadores) when the men in horses appeared. It is closer to us than the 1000 days war, but I guess both make sesse.

Si el destierro y muerte de Pedro Madrigal hubiera sucedido durante los años de La Violencia, los hechos actuales de la película ocurrirían comenzando este siglo (lo que le quitaría el sentido a que la película se base en el Realismo Mágico), además de ponerla en un momento cercano a la Historia reciente del país. Disney no iba a meter la pata de esa manera; ya que la situación actual de Colombia sigue siendo un polvorín. Correr las fechas de la película medio siglo para justificar las escenas del inicio con un tinte "político" contra las guerrillas puede ser bastante inoportuno. Los trajes típicos que salen en la película,eran de uso común hasta la mitad de siglo pasado, antes de que el país se modernizara y dejarán de ser un país agrario.

Y tiene sentido que no puedan salir, porque eso significaría que los hombres a caballo también podrían haber entrado.

As an adult, I was quite pleased with myself for catching a LOT of the Encanto details mentioned here. But not all of them. I caught Peppa's quirks right away. She openly displayed quite a few characteristics of people with chronic anxiety. She strokes her hair over and over. She repeats a mantra ("clear skies, clear skies") whenever she starts stressing out. She gets angry if you bring attention to the manifestation. I know people with severe anxiety disorders and I recognized this right away the first time I saw the movie. But I didn't get it all. For example, when Augustin said "Miércoles." When I heard that I immediately looked it up, so I knew he said Wednesday, but I sure didn't know why. Now I know, thanks to MsMojo (Thanks!), why he said that. It's like when the French say "sacré blu!," which literally translates to "holy blue," which doesn't make any sense. But at one time (and I'm not going to look it up for this comment) one of the French Kings made taking the lord's name in vain a capital offense. So it became illegal to say "sacré dieu," which means "holy god" like you might say in the heat of the moment when you smash your thumb with a hammer or stub your toe. People caught sating it would claim that they were NOT swearing using the name of god but the name of the king's dog, Blue, instead.

[@king-erickxavierX]

In classic Spanish (in the Golden Literary Century) they used to say _pardiez_ instead of Por Dios (for God). I think it was the same way as frenchs did.

[@jalabi99]

*sacre bleu* (interj.) an English notion of a stereotypical French oath, 1869, from French _sacré bleu,_ literally "holy blue," a euphemism for _sacré Dieu_ (1768), "holy God." From Old French _sacrer,_ from Latin _sacrare_ "to make or declare sacred"

Thank you for all the information on Colombia! I was adopted from there as a baby and haven’t been back to visit. It’s fun learning about the culture.

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

Camilo rocking the baby was sweet, but I could tell that this must be that mom's second or third child - even as exhausted as I was after my daughter was born (my only kid thus far), I hated myself for not being able to hold her more. I figure the mother here knows that it's better to be safe and rested, even if it means she has to have someone help her play a trick.

[@gabrielatallent7576]

It had to be Antonio. Camilo is in the middle with Dolores being the oldest.

[@thereal_sunset]

It was Camilo

[@creepylifeofme1927]

Waiting on a miracle really got to me. I’m autistic and my little brother has accomplished so much including most things I’ve dreamed of so it really felt relatable.

[@leomcshizzlepjocastdeserve1631]

dude the smile that came on my face when agustin said "miercoles" was so wide i was like "FINALLY! MY CULTURE IS REPRESENTED!"

[@catluvr2]

I feel like Mirabel got PTSD from her gift ceremony.

[@wolfdemon-sterling5349]

Agustin’s miercoles made me burst when I first watched the movie 🤣🤣🤣

[@googleperson7807]

Fun/random fact: if you don’t speak Spanish or read the captions the song that plays at the river is translated to “two caterpillars” (side note it did make me cry 7 times in a row) is saying “Two caterpillars cant hold on longer you must break apart and build your own future” I did forget a bit of the lyrics so uh yeah -_- but I don’t think many people would have noticed this but the scene is meant to show the two characters as the caterpillars and they must break apart to build a future even if it may not include the other and that life will still be fine when the lyrics “miracles are coming” and I’m pretty sure there is a reference to the metaphoric cycle for butterflies so yeah, then in the song it also said that they were “always hungry” which made me think that they had poor living conditions but tried to make the best out of life

[@Lila25320]

I am a tween and I cried during Encanto because Mirabel can’t fit in and always fake smiles. This made me burst into tears. Probably because I have depression and no one knew for years because of how good I am at hiding my emotions.

[@noface____]

i laughed hard at miercoles lol. its a thing in all spanish speaking countries. its like saying “oh shoot!”

[@Schweighsr]

In "Waiting on a Miracle", Mirabel sings that she "will move the mountains" - and she does, with the earthquake that opens up a crack in the mountains isolating the Encanto. She "will make new trees and flowers grow" - and she does, by freeing Isabella from her perfectionism. She will "heal what is broken" - and she does by accepting Abuela's pain. She will "show this family something new" - and she shows them how to accept themselves, and to accept that Mirabel really does have a "special gift". It is great foreshadowing.

[@i_am_only_an_insane_person]

One detail I noticed is that Pepa's hair is all frazzled due to her stroking it during her 'stress episodes' and also because the weather affects her hair.

[@TheCreationOfDread]

0:48 If you pause you can see the frame that was used for an Encanto ytp

[@danaglabeman6919]

Everyone made a big deal about Mirabelle not having a power, but Abuela didn't have one either. I always figured Mirabelle's gift was that she was the family glue. Casita didn't start to crack until Mirabelle started feeling on the outside of the family and was going to strike out on her own. I think she's Abuela's successor.

[@thatdisabledprincess]

My reading of Pepa's gift is that you can see a lot of toxic positivity when you watch the movie. She's constantly trying to only be happy, and to not have any negative thoughts/emotions, lest she cause a hurricane or blizzard.

[@nintenmetro]

@8:01 the first time I heard that was in the Latin Spanish dub for Madagascar when in the original version Marty said "sugar honey iced tea."

[@rtvmashups9446]

In my own personal opinion, when Mirabel was saying “I will move the mountains” and all that stuff that her family can do with their gifts, I think she was saying that if she was to receive a gift herself she would put it to use to make it as important and helping as everyone else’s

[@Enaronia]

Yes, that's what she says. It's also foreshadowing. She does all the things she says she will do--moves a mountain (shatters it, even--and that's the literal mountain, she also moves Abuela which is a bigger accomplishment), makes new trees and flowers bloom, heals what's broken, and shows the family something new. All four items, checked off her to-do list.

[@imzadi83fanvids7]

The donkeys always get me. They're adorable and so chill and I love their expressions. Lusia just picks them up and throws them around and they're fine with it. Like it's been happening for years. No doubt Lusia has been carrying donkeys around since she was five and received her gift. At the end of surface pressure they even line themselves up on a board so she can throw them up in the air and catch them all at once. At first it's cute and funny. Likely the donkeys are used to being beasts of burden themselves and enjoy someone else carrying them around for awhile. But then you realize that the town sees Lusia as their beast of burden and it gets sad. She's 19 and got her gift at 5. That's 14 years that she's had to do this job and no one has bothered to train the donkeys, train a herding dog, or fix the damn fence. They just figure Lusia will do it. It's sad. I have to pay more attention the next time I watch the movie but I can't recall anyone saying please or thank you to her. I mean I get how rerouting the river can be useful, but she moved that church like what 10ft? Why was that even necessary?

[@princessleia9735]

Luisa’s “Surface Pressure” caught me so off guard…. It was a bop turned emotional like that 💥 😭 Disney + Lin-Manuel Miranda = 🥇 🏆 👏

[@koree6322]

I knew I heard him say "Miércoles" 😂😂 that was really great! But yeah, in general is a joke that all the spanish speakers use/understand.

[@heidisonger5530]

For me, I was amazed that Luisa was gifted with strong powers. And I am 11. Also Camilo is so sweet. He’d be the best brother. I was happy to see Titanic in it, and it said Madrigal on the side which shows how Luisa is made to I guess help and break obstacles in the family.

[@TheCreationOfDread]

1:25 I didnt know Pepa had snow appearing sometimes

[@roxbuchanan6357]

Thank you for confirming for me that the Titanic bit was not just a callout to the movie...I assumed it wasn't, and was just trying to figure out how long after the sinking Encanto was actually set.

[@melodie-allynbenezra8956]

Because it's adorable... In the Titanic scene, three donkeys are playing instruments like the three musicians who played while the ship was sinking.

[@melodie-allynbenezra8956]

How long does Encanto take place after the sinking of the Titanic? The Titanic sunk in 1912. Encanto took place at some point in the 1950s. (Look at the technology, with the camera and the phonograph player the rats are running on.)

[@titaniagasca2839]

It seems to me that they're living in a time loop, they're stuck, nobody comes into the town because nobody knows where they are and no one leaves. The fact that they look like they did (fashionwise) 50 years ago, It makes me think of the movie "The Village"

[@foxesofautumn]

Love this movie, and Luisa, but when I was a kid I had Uran, Astroboy’s sister, who had impressive strength. She wasn’t as responsible as Luisa but she was a life goal for me.

[@TempestLA]

One thing I noticed is that when the Casita comes down at the very end of Surface Pressure (not when it lands on her, but when she catches it), the house, mountains, and sun have a very "It's A Small World" look to it

[@Maverick_Zero_X]

My favourite adult joke has to be the incest one in Bruno's telenovela with the aunt and her nephew

[@brunotorrini9228]

It's a nod to the relationship between Amaranta Ursula and Aureliano Babilonia in 100 Years of Solitude.

[@MariIceCream]

@@brunotorrini9228 did you notice the yellow butterflies during the movie too? I thought it was a nice detail.

[@brunotorrini9228]

@@MariIceCream Of course!

[@Talamasca007]

I found that comment to be a bit bizzare. Telenovelas are "television novels," and the Encanto doesn't seem to have electricty, so how would Bruno know what telenovelas were? Also, it's a little uncomfortable that his go-to entertainment was a romantic relationship between two people who had the same familial relationship as himself and Mirabel, and he explains its appeal to him to Mirabel during their first meeting in years. Awkward!

[@Maverick_Zero_X]

@@Talamasca007 I always assumed that he used future sight and saw a TV that played those shows and he found it really cool, and then he drew it for himself

[@davidburns1975]

I got a bit of a smile when Mirabel's dad, upon finding the broken prediction, tells Mirabel, "No one has to know." I think this was a deliberate homage to the song "Nobody Needs To Know" from The Last Five Years (which Lin-Manuel Miranda also quoted in the song "Say No To This" in Hamilton).

[@crazieanimefan1]

I was wondering if anyone picked up on the fact Abuela kept hitting the alcohol. It took the third time seeing it to realize she had a thing for wine. There was one other thing that me and a few others thought with Pepa too. The triplets are 50. Antonio is 5, so it made me wonder if he was an oops baby at first since Pepa would've been 45, the cusp of soon to hit menopause. Yet someone said to me that what if she was made to have Antonio by Abuela considering Mirabel's gift ceremony went horribly wrong and she didn't want her eldest to have another child in case the next one wouldn't have a gift but had Pepa have another to keep it going on.

[@corgiw7281]

Consider - this is like Shangri-la. Julieta has /cured/ everyone of debilitations of age, which is why Pepa could have a baby at 45 safely, and have no side effects of the physical effort.

[@iainacosta7453]

8:10 it's not only used in colombia, it's also used in Peru when I used to live there. Probably used in other places too.

[@CyrixOkami]

Oddly I connected most to Camilo for being a jokester but cared for my family and others. The other I connected to was Bruno by being outcasted because I am such a jokester. So I can imagine everyone can connect to one or two of the characters in the movie.

[@Showtunediva]

I knew all along that Pepa was similar to Elsa.☺️

[@Alexandar358]

It's not really an adult thing. But I can't get over the fact that Antonio is basically Ezran, from Dragon Prince, on steroids.

[@932ForeverLove]

Thank you for explaining the “Wednesday” scene. I did not understand why that word was chosen in the context of the scene.

[@corgiw7281]

The 'bad word' it's filling in for has the same first two syllables, so it's a really obvious evasion for the bilingual.

[@lyrabloodwolf2171]

One thing that most people don’t catch is that because Mirabel wasn’t given a gift, she doesn’t actually have a room of her own. She sleeps in the nursery with Antonio until he gets his gift, leaving her to be alone again until the next child is born. She doesn’t even have her own space like everyone else does.

[@pratyushpavansaikia8161]

Camilo is totally a spitting image of his father

[@DeletedUser_0000]

Surface Pressure is so relatable as the oldest sister in my family

[@niceguy169]

I so identified with Luisa, especially Surface Pressure - I've started singing it at karaoke. I've always been the one to help people, I DO NOT get help. Then in 2020 I had to have my foot amputated, and suddenly help is a lot more helpful and necessary, and I am FAR less capable of helping. It's been quite the upheaval. I feel for Luisa, and I just about cry when the song ends and Mirabel just hugs and understands, something I never get in my life. I note that decades ago, the movie would have ended with Mirabel finally earning her gift, one particularly great since she was denied for so long, like she had to earn it first. Today's hypersensitivity means instead we get a message of acceptance (which the main character didn't need to learn, the rest did), a much less satisfying message. Nothing REALLY changed. :) Come ON, she couldn't even get a real room of her own? Even without a glowy door? She's stuck in the nursery she's way too old for? Maybe she could have bonded better with the 3 other unpowered individuals - Abuela and the two husbands (and Abuela even gets a magic door). BTW, I have a theory: I think their powers are related to their personalities. (I forget most names so I'll reference their powers). Kid Dolittle, Mirabel says beforehand he likes animals, I think she gave him a stuffed animal as a comfort thing in case he's denied like she was. His brother Metamorpho - he's SERIOUSLY supposed to be OLDER than Mirabel? I'd swear he was younger, between size and personality - probably had a talent for acting and imitating people/voices. The Listener was probably a terrible gossip, always eavesdropping (which is how Mirabel and her dad KNOW they're in trouble when she hears them). SuperBabe was probably an extra attractive child who developed an interest in flowers as an "appropriately" girly appropriate thing to like. Luisa was probably particularly active. And the original 3, Mirabel's mom was probably particularly caring - like taking care of injured birds and such. Pepa was probably particularly emotional, probably prone to wild emotional swings. And Bruno was probably so perceptive he seemed psychic.

The fact that every single hair texture (from 1A to 4C) was shown by each member of the Madrigal family. That's gotta be a first for any movie talk less a Disney cartoon.

Yeah, Miercoles is used in many Latino countries. I'm Puerto Rican and it was used in my house ALL the time with the addition to MANY more like HP; Bronca (repeat it many times in a row and if you speak Spanish you'll get it), no chaves mas, que J, etc...

What I appreciated about Luisa is that she was a strong woman who was still allowed to be FEMININE! Femininity tends to be shown as a sign of weakness; I know because I wear dresses almost all the time and yet people are surprised when they see me lift anything remotely heavy. Luisa was muscular, yes, but also had a woman's shape, wore a dress and a ribbon in her hair & cared about her appearance. (Side note: I had trouble noticing ANYTHING in the introduction song; it went so fast I couldn't focus on anything. It was one of the many things that disappointed me about the movie.)
