Its actually very subtle: her gift is the same as Abuela Alma's. She's connected to the house itself. That's why she can communicate with it, and why the house doesn't come back alive until SHE puts the doorknob in. Or, in other words, her door was the house's FRONT door!
She also has control almost equal to that of Abuela's considering when the house was breaking down instead of casita forcing her out like the the rest of the family, casita actually listened to her.
I don't think that's bruno himself. Probably camilo who used his gift to look like him. He looks way taller than he really is there (remember camilos's line "7 foot frame"). Also the green light surrounding him like it does during camilos verse
I think the hug vision is both Isabella and Abuela at the same time, just happened at different times in reality. Bruno stated that his vision is out of order so... yeah.
18:28 IM DYING AT YOU NOT KNOWING THAT THE MUSIC WAS WRITTEN BY LIN BEFOREHAND BUT REALIZING IT PURELY BC BRUNOS PART HERE WAS SO CLEARLY & UNDENIABLY WRITTEN FOR HIM TO SING HIMSELF 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This section & the final section of WE Don't Talk About Bruno are both just so obviously "Lin" that it almost hurts lmaoooo
I had my doubts after Luisa's song but as soon as we dont talk about bruno ended i paused the movie to tell my boyfriend : i think its lin manuel miranda's music and i'm IN LOVE, the credits confirmed it at the end lol
In the part where Isabela was singing I'm Fine, Dolores was singing it to, they were singing it together. Its a nice detail to show how their wants somewhat alight and they both aren't fine because of the same person
The thing with the picture bit, for me, is that she didn't even try to get into the picture. It wasn't like they told her she wasn't allowed. Abuela said "everyone gather round!" And Mirabel didn't move. That said... how badly must she have internalized all of this to assume she's not invited into the family picture?
@@KaynnyshaB ^ this. If my family got together for a group photo and didnt even try to invite me, i would feel left out...and Its not like they gave her much time to get in the picture..clearly she was forgotten, and thats what sucks...
Here’s my take: Mirabel was never given a gift because she was meant to expose how the grandma unconsciously projected her repressed trauma to her family by setting them up to unattainable expectations that was crushing them from the inside. If she received a gift, she would have been like most of her family; pressured, depressed, and anxious to even notice what was going on and in turn leaving no one to save the house and the family.
I love how the curly hair and glasses on Mirabel aren't being used to tell the audience that this character is suppose to be seen as ugly. I don't remember if Disney ever used the trope, but it's nice to see those shown in a positive way. There was a concept art of Isabella mocking Mirabel's glasses, but they didn't use it in the film.
Only for like... maybe Darla's headgear in Finding Nemo? It's not something they commonly do, but they never give glasses to protagonists either. It's nice to see!
For non colombians or latinos: A little explanation of the historial context of the song and scene of 'Dos Oruguitas', Colombia in the past suffered a great wave of violence, especially of armed conflicts, criminal gangs and drug trafficking, this problems start affectting people who lived in villages, indigenous and afro-descendant communities, the criminal gangs went to the villages to loot, burn them, imprison children for their wars and even make massacres in them, so many of those who lived in those types of villages doesn't have other option but to leave their homes in search of a safer place. Los desplazados or forced displacement is a big problem in Colombia and other parts of latinoamerica as it continues to happen to this day. As a latina, I'm glad that disney reference this huge problem in colombia with respect because is really a big part of their history and families.
I’ve seen a lot people say that the reason Mirabel doesn’t get a gift is because she’ll be the keeper of the miracle after her grandmother passes and that she’ll be the new person in charge. The miracle/candle needs someone to keep the magic alive and that job will pass on to Mirabel :)
Honestly, Abuela is probably my favourite character because of just how complex she is. She's such a grey character, though she's leaning more heavily to the good spectrum. She's genuinely a good person, she really does want to help her community and we can tell underneath her surface she cares for her family. But because of her trauma and loss then being given a gift, a second chance, she is so desperate not to lose it again that she ends up hurting her family. In the end, there's no more candle. The candle was born from trauma, Abuela keeping it around just shows that she hasn't completely moved on from that trauma. Then in the end, when their magic returns but there's no more candle, Abuela was finally able to move on. The gift no longer came from a traumatic memory, it now comes from the love of the family. Abuela is so complex, so well written, she ends up being such a fascinating character to analyse. Because of that, she is definitely one of my favourite characters.
@@anonymousotter664 forreal! At first I hated her and then knowing her trauma and how she grieved her whole life just made me appreciate her character so much more.
they werent talking shit about bruno for years- literally his absence is so massive they wont utter his name for fear of bringing up abuela's distress. I dont know if its clear or not, but abuela never got to hear the prophecy bruno made, from her point of view she asked for a prophecy about mirabel, then bruno never returns! its understandable the way she has anxiety about her role in keeping the miracle going- her behaviour to mirabel was not okay though
Some people think Mariano is much but honestly I think he’s a good match for Dolores. Considering who her parents are it’s understandable and are good match as well. One is emotional but passionate. The other is more grounded and supportive. Mariano is just a romantic that moves as a fast pace. Dolores calms him down, like Felix with Pepa, but admires his passion. Dolores probably felt like her gift was a problem to be with people because people keep secrets and she hears everything. Mariano is loud and open showing that they can be themselves around each other.
The reconciliation scene made me cry. It's great to see someone who is old, proud and made sacrifices own up to their mistakes to someone they're supposed to be respected by, to someone who they had previously blamed for the things that went wrong. I don't see older people take responsibility often, especially in family.
the nuts thing is during almost the whole movie I kept rolling my eyes and getting more and more angry with Abuela until Dos Oruguitas where we get to see her perspective. The villain in this whole thing was intergenerational trauma. I'm not Colombian so I can't speak for them but as a black woman I did/do see so much of this within my own family. Yes Abuela was definitely wrong for how much pressure she put not just on her son who couldn't control the future but just see it but also on her grandchildren because she's stuck in two cycles. She demands perfection from Isabela because she can have the perfect life, spouse and family without hardships she wanted and she demands constant strength from Luisa because she's had to be strong for an entire town for over 50 years so there's no time for weakness in her mind while Mirabel is the free spirit she used to be before colonialism took her husband from her; someone she misses being. she never healed from her trauma and that carried over into the next generations. The antagonist was Abuela but the villain was the stain and continued trauma that is not dealt with within families, mostly families of colour
As a Colombian, I just want to say that you hit the nail right on the head. For decades so many people in my country have been forced to leave their homes due to violence, whether that was due to civil wars or drug violence or guerrilla violence. The abuela in this movie reminds me so much of my own abuela, even down to her physical features and her mannerisms. As a Colombian it all felt extremely personal to me and I felt very emotional leaving the theater after seeing this movie, but one thing that I've loved is seeing how other latinos, especially children of immigrants, react to it. Even if they're not Colombian, the story of that intergenerational trauma speaks to them, and your comment makes me realize that this theme can extend to so many other immigrant families and families of color
@@livywithane I might have looked too much into that but I can see Camilo’s constant shape shifting as her having had to take on or shift to fit numerous roles in her life: mother, protector, leader, abuela while Delores might be a need for constant control: if you hear everything you can control the situation before it gets out of hand (eg, her making Delores listen for what Isabela’s betrothed wants in order to have Isa ready to play that role perfectly). I can’t think of anything for Antonio so that’s why I might be thinking TOO much into this haha
At first I thought Bruno was going to be a scary villain, but in the end, he was just an outcast in the family whom Mirabel tried to bring into the family
I think the miracle is a combination of many factors: the love energy originated from Abuelo's sacrifice, the grief from Abuela's tears spilled on the ground, Abuelo's spirit trying to save his family by becoming one with the candle, and also some divine intervention/justice (since God/saints/angels intervening when good virtuous people suffer some kind of injustice are common occurences/stories in Latino American culture and popular Catholicism. The town in wich Encanto is located on is also clearly and heavily influenced by Catholicism, as we can see with the priest and the local church)
Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle and made the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle rebuilds and fixes. The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift.
As a latino i was struck at the thematic similarities this film has with Coco. Both films are about a family suffering from generational trauma. The main difference is that the Rivera family in Coco is not dealing with their trauma and its not until Miguel steps up and reveals their real history himself that their trauma is addressed and dealt with. Here in Encanto, the Madrigal family is well aware of their generational trauma but the way they've gone about dealing with it is via a toxic compulsion to earn the second chance they've been given by being as perfect as possible and Mirabel steps up to call out the bullshit and usher in a more healthy and constructive way to deal with their trauma. The reason i brought up my latino heritage is because after this film I found myself asking a humorous question. What does it say about latin family structures that both times we got represented by Disney it was about dysfunctional families dealing with shitty behavior?
I don't know much about Latino culture I'm just going off the little knowledge ik so please like correct if i'm wrong but Ik some Latino culture familys the extended family with live way closer or together like in this movie and I tihnk coco? So theres probably more dynamic go off of while me and the majority of my friends who are not usually just live with 1-2 adult figures. So thats just me guess.
Well the dynamics and every family have similarities, the abuelas run the shows, etc. But we see two ways of move on, el luto, is very hard for our grandmothers and mostly there's this toxic environment in te family. It's in our culture of no matter what the family has to keep working, keep looking forward even when we have traumas or anxiety, pressure, expectations... At least in my family is exactly the same😂. Latinos are very indifferent sometimes to the unfinish feeling for situations in the family. Sorry if I don't explain better, english isn't my native language I'm venezuelan
@@julioguerrero9737 Yo mismo no podría haberlo dicho mejor. las familias latinas no son buenas para abordar los problemas, pero todavía hay mucho amor.
Can we talking about Bruno being a homie? Bruno resembles his father. He's selfless, loves his family enough to separate himself from them and 'sacrifice' himself if that means that his family would be happy. Just like his father did. He was described as Seven foot frame by Camilio (shape-shifting boy) probably because he was a kid and Bruno just seemed tall to him. Plus after years of hearing bad stories about it, it probably elevated that image to about seven foot, towering, creepy man.
I love encanto, honestly, but the most unrealistic thing is not giving people magical power, but abuela realizing and accepting that she was wrong, even more apologizing. Latin mothers, especially grandmothers, are proud as heck and they'd die before admitting they were wrong. They rather make generations of trauma than apologizing.
To be fair, when Julieta spoke to Abuela before the ceremony she straight out ignored her, and when they talked to her after she saw the vision, she made it about the Encanto. It was only until Mirabel said the miracle was dying 'cause of her and Casita collapsed that she actually opened her eyes and finally addressed her trauma at the place her husband died.
I'm so excited you did a reaction for this movie! I'm Colombian so when this movie came out I was overjoyed knowing it's set in Colombia. Feeling represented in Disney is truly special. ❤
You see what is missing would be what would be missing if you started Lord of the Rings with Return of the King, and had to piece the rest together with flashbacks. Each of the children's gifts were to protect the family, and we really did not get scenes where they each used their gifts to do that. I realize it adds to the family disharmony and would be perhaps another hour longer to go through each child and so on. I mean a shapeshifter with no big melodrama? A plant wizard that only does party bouquets?, A weather wizard that only does inconvenient rain? OK that was good. I saw this movie in Spanish, and OMG the songs were so much better! Better sung, better orchestrated, all of it was musically better and more enjoyable to hear.
I love this movie I watched it twice and my favourite song is actually Luisa’s song, that’s just straight fire! That, Isabella‘s song and we don’t talk about Bruno are probably my favourites from the film.
Honestly I respectfuly disagree, this is one of the best Disney movies I’ve ever seen (and defenetly the best one since The Lion King). And all the songs are just amazing, they all have meaning and tell a story, not like most of the songs in the movies that are here just becose it’s a Disney movie (Louisa sings about pressure and that she is not OK, Mirabel sings about being not OK and wants to make her family proud, Isabela sings about hiding her true self and being perfect just becose she is the Golden child and has to be flawless, etc.). But I guess it’s not your type of movie,.
I felt the same way you did at first honestly. It didn't hit all the marks for me on my first watch but actually the more I have watched it the more it has grown on me. I just have it on in the background while I am working today and when the songs come on it puts me in a good mood. Lin Manuel Miranda definitely has a specific style and it's very "broadway/stage musical" compared to most Disney films in my opinion, but the more I listen to the songs the more I like them. We Don't Talk About Bruno and Surface Pressure are definitely playlisted!
If you can forgive the queen you have to forgive abuela too. They both have the same issues. And I've yet to meet a British person who acknowledges that she did this sort of generational trauma even though it's so obvious
okay, seriously, Bruno does a whole ritual to get just one vision, so he made all that just to say the guy would be bald or someone would get fat? Damn, that seems kinda unnecesary
I love that you noticed Bruno in the background of Dolores' part in We Don't Talk About Bruno. If I remember correctly, he can also be seen in the background of Pepa's and Felix's part, too!
People probably already said this, but Dolores was also singing "I'm fine" with Isabella in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" I think you should watch the official lyrics video to see who sings what
Ah, if only I could sympathize with the story.... ...I am latino, btw, and both sides of my family have intergenerational trauma. But unfortunately, it has devolved into full on abuse and toxicity that will not be healed just by talking about it. If it could, one of my greatest fears for a while wouldn't have been that someone in my house would get so tired of taking care of my quickly deteriorating grandma that they'd try to kill her.
I think the dude who described Bruno as 7ft frame rats on his back, actually seen Bruno once in the middle of the night when Bruno was sneaking out to get food, and he had his rats with him. Kid was little seen Bruno in the middle of the night got scared Bruno called his name to reassure him he wasn't a monster and instead he passed out from fear so bruno put him back in bed and snuck back out.
I think if you have doubts about Lin, you should watch hamilton. It's definitely different from the type of songs he wrote for disney. Way more heavily based in rap but it's really cool. I think you might like it but I'm just guessing that because I think we have similar taste based on your reaction to this LOL
Not me listening to We Don't Talk About Bruno on a 1 hour loop while watcging this.🤣 it's a bop only bc of Mirabel's cousins.🥰 11:36 i honestly think they asked him and he told them what's to happen in the future then they blamed him for telling them. Like what the heck?!
girlie doesn't have generational trauma and it SHOWS like i was BAWLING when i watched this but ok laugh and smile while i dissociate for 5-7 business days
You mention not showing your face in public after the non-gift embarrassment but instantly forget it when Mirabel self-censors herself from the family photo? You externalise blame much?
"...is she not in the picture? Oh that's rude!..." Well, _to be fair,_ no one was _excluding_ her, and no one was making sure everyone was there. Abuela called for 'everyone' to get in the picture, and everyone _except_ Mirabel moved over and picked a spot, on their own because they, y'know, can _look after themselves_ for things, and just arranged themselves for a spur-of-the-moment 'oh, we should take a picture' idea. If Mirabel _wanted_ to be there, she _could_ have been. _She_ chose _not_ to be. Now... the _reason_ she chose not to be, her feelings, how much she was hurting... _entirely_ understandable, but let's _also_ understand that she _was not excluded,_ ultimately she excluded _herself_ due to how she was feeling. "...where is she..." Yeah, the Bruno's room sequence has... a _lot_ of problems. It's clear they had different ideas at different times and didn't bother to 'construct' the room in any sense and move Mirabel through it. The ledge she ends up swinging over to the door on is clearly no visible in the overhead shot, and when she swings there's _no way_ she was close enough to land even if she'd let go. It's... a mess. "...but... is it bad that Bruno's pointing out what's gonna happen..." First time I watched it, that was _exactly_ what I was thinking. He just _predicts_ the future, he doesn't _cause_ it. Knowing the future lets you make _plans_ for the future. There _are_ times you don't _want_ to know (we all hate spoilers, after all, and what's that if not revealing some bit of future information), and yet for a _lot_ of things... well, it's beneficial. This next bit is in order, but a separate line... for reasons that will become clear: "...I saw the shock on the girlie's face..." Did you notice the... side-eye... from the _other_ girlie? "...also just realized Isabella keeps saying she's fine..." Actually _Dolores_ is the one singing that bit, the one whose love was out of reach. Anyway... this leads to the reveal of the villain of this movie: ua-cam.com/video/Xz2oowy5JxY/v-deo.html
Just wanted to say:
After editing I realised Bruno WASNT banished I’m just dumb
AND
We Don’t Talk About Bruno has been on repeat the past couple days
Please react to Lemonade Mouth
Haven't you posted this yesterday? Or am I having a mega Deja Vu?
Also,love your video as always. Big Fan from Italy
What happened this video was uploaded yesterday I watched half of it then it glitches out nothing was loaded then the video disappeared
I have it on repeat as well its so good

Or, in other words, her door was the house's FRONT door!
Meaning she’s gonna be the candle heir
And I guess at the same time, such responsibility cannot be given to a 5 year old child, which is why it just disappears. She wasn't ready yet.
She also has control almost equal to that of Abuela's considering when the house was breaking down instead of casita forcing her out like the the rest of the family, casita actually listened to her.

More like she has the power of reconstruction/renewal.

I don't know much about Latino culture I'm just going off the little knowledge ik so please like correct if i'm wrong but Ik some Latino culture familys the extended family with live way closer or together like in this movie and I tihnk coco? So theres probably more dynamic go off of while me and the majority of my friends who are not usually just live with 1-2 adult figures. So thats just me guess.
@@SaraSong-mw3zm yeah the elders in the family will live with you sometimes in latino families
Well the dynamics and every family have similarities, the abuelas run the shows, etc. But we see two ways of move on, el luto, is very hard for our grandmothers and mostly there's this toxic environment in te family. It's in our culture of no matter what the family has to keep working, keep looking forward even when we have traumas or anxiety, pressure, expectations... At least in my family is exactly the same😂. Latinos are very indifferent sometimes to the unfinish feeling for situations in the family. Sorry if I don't explain better, english isn't my native language I'm venezuelan
@@julioguerrero9737 Yo mismo no podría haberlo dicho mejor. las familias latinas no son buenas para abordar los problemas, pero todavía hay mucho amor.
you wanted more to luisa then cut out luisa's whole song :'( thats literally one of the best songs
Can we talking about Bruno being a homie? Bruno resembles his father. He's selfless, loves his family enough to separate himself from them and 'sacrifice' himself if that means that his family would be happy. Just like his father did.
He was described as Seven foot frame by Camilio (shape-shifting boy) probably because he was a kid and Bruno just seemed tall to him. Plus after years of hearing bad stories about it, it probably elevated that image to about seven foot, towering, creepy man.
"i hope he (Bruno) gets a redemption arc" REDEMTION OF WHAT.
I love encanto, honestly, but the most unrealistic thing is not giving people magical power, but abuela realizing and accepting that she was wrong, even more apologizing.
Latin mothers, especially grandmothers, are proud as heck and they'd die before admitting they were wrong. They rather make generations of trauma than apologizing.
I'm from Brazil and I wish I couldn't tell the same
To be fair, when Julieta spoke to Abuela before the ceremony she straight out ignored her, and when they talked to her after she saw the vision, she made it about the Encanto. It was only until Mirabel said the miracle was dying 'cause of her and Casita collapsed that she actually opened her eyes and finally addressed her trauma at the place her husband died.
I think mirabel is the gift. Thats why her door dissapear and why she could bring the house back alive. And her door is the front door.
I agree with the title. Bruno deserves the whole world. Bruno is my favorite character, the house is the second
I'm so excited you did a reaction for this movie! I'm Colombian so when this movie came out I was overjoyed knowing it's set in Colombia. Feeling represented in Disney is truly special. ❤
You see what is missing would be what would be missing if you started Lord of the Rings with Return of the King, and had to piece the rest together with flashbacks.
Each of the children's gifts were to protect the family, and we really did not get scenes where they each used their gifts to do that. I realize it adds to the family disharmony and would be perhaps another hour longer to go through each child and so on. I mean a shapeshifter with no big melodrama? A plant wizard that only does party bouquets?, A weather wizard that only does inconvenient rain? OK that was good.
I saw this movie in Spanish, and OMG the songs were so much better! Better sung, better orchestrated, all of it was musically better and more enjoyable to hear.
The director of the movie clarified that Delores was just fucking with Isabela about the five babies thing
Girlie didn't show surface pressure
"She looks the same as she did when she was younger but grown".
Yes that tends to be how aging works.
Pepa and Felix literally invented love
Real ones saw this yesterday when she accidentally uploaded it
SKSKA 😭😭
Same
I was confused lmao. I was like “I feel like I watched this already” XD. I’ve watched so many reactions
I love this movie I watched it twice and my favourite song is actually Luisa’s song, that’s just straight fire! That, Isabella‘s song and we don’t talk about Bruno are probably my favourites from the film.
Pls not you skipping Surface Pressure after asking for more facets to Luisa😭✋
Happily part of the Bruno Defense Squad 🥰
My girl just skipped "Surface Pressure". Probably copyright, copyright sucks
Honestly I respectfuly disagree, this is one of the best Disney movies I’ve ever seen (and defenetly the best one since The Lion King). And all the songs are just amazing, they all have meaning and tell a story, not like most of the songs in the movies that are here just becose it’s a Disney movie (Louisa sings about pressure and that she is not OK, Mirabel sings about being not OK and wants to make her family proud, Isabela sings about hiding her true self and being perfect just becose she is the Golden child and has to be flawless, etc.). But I guess it’s not your type of movie,.
I felt the same way you did at first honestly. It didn't hit all the marks for me on my first watch but actually the more I have watched it the more it has grown on me. I just have it on in the background while I am working today and when the songs come on it puts me in a good mood. Lin Manuel Miranda definitely has a specific style and it's very "broadway/stage musical" compared to most Disney films in my opinion, but the more I listen to the songs the more I like them. We Don't Talk About Bruno and Surface Pressure are definitely playlisted!
As a Hispanic I am so happy to she a movie about Hispanics that not about Mexico no hate to Mexico but I want moreee
I love that theres no villain
If you can forgive the queen you have to forgive abuela too. They both have the same issues.
And I've yet to meet a British person who acknowledges that she did this sort of generational trauma even though it's so obvious
I feel like Rebecca just keeps getting better and better after each Disney intro😂🤩❣
We don't talk about the accidental early release yesterday :P
AHH
okay, seriously, Bruno does a whole ritual to get just one vision, so he made all that just to say the guy would be bald or someone would get fat? Damn, that seems kinda unnecesary
Unless....perhaps the guy was starting to bald and asked Bruno for a vision?
“they’re the outcasts but they’re my favourite”…ur gleek is showing bestie
The first time i heared "We dont talk about Bruno" i felt personaly attacked
Woohooo god I’ve literally seen this movie like ten times lmao
Wowzer that’s dedication
🌟You are a legend 🌟
did i hallucinate this notification yesterday? im going crazy i swear
No girl i saw this yesterday too 😭
17:36
"Abuela I can finally see"
Rebbecca: without your glasses you won't
I've literally been waiting for this all day, very excited to watch!
Ah hope u enjoy legend!!
i'm so happy so many people are watching this :DDD
I can't stop binging We dont talk about Bruno, its such a good song I love it too much.
I love that you noticed Bruno in the background of Dolores' part in We Don't Talk About Bruno. If I remember correctly, he can also be seen in the background of Pepa's and Felix's part, too!
People probably already said this, but
Dolores was also singing "I'm fine" with Isabella in "We Don't Talk About Bruno"
I think you should watch the official lyrics video to see who sings what
Ah, if only I could sympathize with the story....
...I am latino, btw, and both sides of my family have intergenerational trauma. But unfortunately, it has devolved into full on abuse and toxicity that will not be healed just by talking about it.
If it could, one of my greatest fears for a while wouldn't have been that someone in my house would get so tired of taking care of my quickly deteriorating grandma that they'd try to kill her.
I think the dude who described Bruno as 7ft frame rats on his back, actually seen Bruno once in the middle of the night when Bruno was sneaking out to get food, and he had his rats with him. Kid was little seen Bruno in the middle of the night got scared Bruno called his name to reassure him he wasn't a monster and instead he passed out from fear so bruno put him back in bed and snuck back out.
Is it just me that feels like I watched it like a couple days ago?
her:uploads me:the legend and godess has entered the building
Well the magic was breaking because the family bond wasn’t strong because of abuelas expectations so Mirabel wasn’t given a gift to help them
Not me watching every Encanto movie reaction like it's my job
Please, I'd watch this again just for Bruno 😭💖
Did i just watch the same vid yesterday or am I just experiencing deja vu
I accidentally uploaded it yesterday and took it down 😭😭
@@rxbeccarose ohhh that makes sense
Not us saying oh Luisa together because I was like 😏😏
Edit: another musical song where the background slow is speechless from Aladdin
I think if you have doubts about Lin, you should watch hamilton.
It's definitely different from the type of songs he wrote for disney. Way more heavily based in rap but it's really cool. I think you might like it but I'm just guessing that because I think we have similar taste based on your reaction to this LOL
I've been waiting and now it's finally here!
Hell yeah legend
the plate is a breaking point for most of us
in the song it is not bruno walking inside the house, it is camillo
The first thing my co worker said to me after he watched Encanto was “I finally found a Gilf I like.”
Not me listening to We Don't Talk About Bruno on a 1 hour loop while watcging this.🤣 it's a bop only bc of Mirabel's cousins.🥰 11:36 i honestly think they asked him and he told them what's to happen in the future then they blamed him for telling them. Like what the heck?!
"she's serving demi lovato camp rock" plz why did I get that reference immediately
I am really enjoying your reactions!!
Awesome reaction but I still can’t believe u said nothing about Luisa……
Ok but I can’t get over Bruno sharing a VA with Sid the sloth
5:13-6:32 we love a smart queen I didn't even NOTICE that the first time watching
We don’t talk about Bruno
OMG YES SO EXCITED TO SEE UR REACTION TO THUS
I would like to join the Bruno defense squad
OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING! ITS HAPPENING! IM READY! MY QUEEN! MAY YOUR PILLOW ALWAYS BE COLD!
girlie doesn't have generational trauma and it SHOWS like i was BAWLING when i watched this but ok laugh and smile while i dissociate for 5-7 business days
I believe the actor who played bruno also played sid the sloth in ice age
You mention not showing your face in public after the non-gift embarrassment but instantly forget it when Mirabel self-censors herself from the family photo? You externalise blame much?
Ive been waiting ever since the movie came to theaters for this moment and its great
i find it funny that bruno is voiced by sid from ice age
I watched it on Saturday night and loved it so much!!! 💜💜💜💜
I literally adore this movie
Wow you guessed what happened with Bruno a mere 6 and a half minutes into this movie
"...is she not in the picture? Oh that's rude!..."
Well, _to be fair,_ no one was _excluding_ her, and no one was making sure everyone was there. Abuela called for 'everyone' to get in the picture, and everyone _except_ Mirabel moved over and picked a spot, on their own because they, y'know, can _look after themselves_ for things, and just arranged themselves for a spur-of-the-moment 'oh, we should take a picture' idea. If Mirabel _wanted_ to be there, she _could_ have been. _She_ chose _not_ to be. Now... the _reason_ she chose not to be, her feelings, how much she was hurting... _entirely_ understandable, but let's _also_ understand that she _was not excluded,_ ultimately she excluded _herself_ due to how she was feeling.
"...where is she..."
Yeah, the Bruno's room sequence has... a _lot_ of problems. It's clear they had different ideas at different times and didn't bother to 'construct' the room in any sense and move Mirabel through it. The ledge she ends up swinging over to the door on is clearly no visible in the overhead shot, and when she swings there's _no way_ she was close enough to land even if she'd let go. It's... a mess.
"...but... is it bad that Bruno's pointing out what's gonna happen..."
First time I watched it, that was _exactly_ what I was thinking. He just _predicts_ the future, he doesn't _cause_ it. Knowing the future lets you make _plans_ for the future. There _are_ times you don't _want_ to know (we all hate spoilers, after all, and what's that if not revealing some bit of future information), and yet for a _lot_ of things... well, it's beneficial.
This next bit is in order, but a separate line... for reasons that will become clear:
"...I saw the shock on the girlie's face..."
Did you notice the... side-eye... from the _other_ girlie?
"...also just realized Isabella keeps saying she's fine..."
Actually _Dolores_ is the one singing that bit, the one whose love was out of reach.
Anyway... this leads to the reveal of the villain of this movie:
ua-cam.com/video/Xz2oowy5JxY/v-deo.html
Some times i go on Rebecca’s Pixar movies just to hear her sing the Disney logo
7:16
When me and my family first saw this my mom told me she thought they were going to ask her to take the picture
also i realized she didnt show any surface pressure reaction
My only criticism is that there wasn’t enough time to flesh the characters out more, like mirabel’s sister, and her cousins.
1-kinda creepy
2-very sad
Bruno in a nutshell basically
"a twink could take me in a fight" had me dead 💀💀💀
girl how were u not bawling
