As far as I'm concerned, it's still 59 because a movie was grandfathered in to market Tangled as the 50th, but when I say "a" movie it's actually two different films depending on the country (Dinosaur in US+ and The Wild in UK+), and neither of them were full-on Animation Studios productions.
Fun fact: when Camilo was running towards the candle, it was confirmed that he wasn’t trying to save the candle, he was trying to reach and save Mirabel. He cared more about his cousin than his gift. Also, when he lost his magic, one of the first things he said (which can be heard in the background is “What about Antonio, what is he going to do?” I just think that Camilo is so caring about his family and always wants to protect them and make them happy
You see him be caring when Maribel is running after Bruno. You see him giving his mother what I assume is a smoothing hot drink to help relax her emotions. Camilo is defo one of my top 3 characters.
The fact that Dolores was spilling the tea in “We don’t talk about Bruno” but people was too busy listening to the song and having a good time to even notice the lyrics (or Bruno in the background😏)
@@spankinrainbows1587 It's not Camilo. Camilo comes later and even on the producer point of view it would make no sense to 'hide' Camilo in the backgroud. That is Bruno to enfasizes the foreshadowing Dolores is giving. The fun thing is that you can actually see Dolores helping to hide Bruno by pushing and pulling Maribel away from his direction at the same time she says her lines.
Agree. It must've been Bruno. He came running from the left side where his secret frame door hangs running to the right along the staircase going to the kitchen area. All that while bopping to Dolores, and tiptoeng like the sound of falling sand. hehe
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 even willing to take the blame for the house falling apart so Mirabel doesn't get blamed for it and doesn't turn into him. 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'm glad I'm not the only one to think so. Add to that is the possibility that Mirabel may have replaced the candle herself--in other words, she may now be the source of the magic or the embodiment of the candle's role. I believe Isaac Carlson has put an argument that Mirabel does not need a power due to her future role as Abuela's successor.
I love how much little Antonio cares and worries about Mirabel. He uses that toucan to kind of keep on eye on her when she goes to Bruno's room and make sure that she's okay.
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!
That and I’ve also heard that she’s the “new candle.” She’s the new source of the family’s magic, and her power will be passed down to future generations.
"What's her power?" - Mirabel had a power all along : she can control the house. The only other character seen doing this was Abuela, and she'll basically pass the torch to Mirabel
@@Milk-ck1wv Not really. Mirabel has always had a special connection to Casita other than Abuela before the candle started to go out. She’s basically solidified as the next head of the family when u look at all the details about her and Abuela other than their connection to Casita.
I have a theory, so mirabel's door fade out and turns into the house's front door. But she was not be able to 'activate' it because she always feel like she left behind (well she does), and at the end all the family was finally see her and she feel accepted. That's why she can bring the magic back and have a door (i mean, she is in the front) Sorry for my english, it's not my first language ♡
The song about Bruno gives a clear foreshadowing that Dolores knew about Bruno's presence, with the lyrics: "I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling". You can also see him in the background vibing to her part since she's the only one who's objective and understanding about his burden of foresight: "It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling Always left Abuela and the family fumbling Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand Do you understand?" A really nice detail if you ask me!
Also about this verse, I kinda like to think that Dolores heard Mirabel when she was in Bruno's tower and guessed that she found the vision but didn't actually hear what was in it (maybe because the sand starting to fall and the cracks forming covered up when Mirabel said "Me?"), which is why she asks "Do you understand?" at the end of her verse, as if to say "They couldn't understand their prophecies, do you understand the one you found?" Or it could also have been her asking if Mirabel understands the underlying message of what she said, i.e. the fact that Bruno is still around, and/or that he wasn't a bad guy.
@@gigikju9934 The one vibing at the end of the verse is Camilo. But look at the ground floor at the beginning of Dolores. Another hooded figure walks past. It's the real Bruno.
I was not impressed by the trailers but I KEPT seeing TIKTOKS about it so I finally went and my god it was incredible. And if they don’t make a tv show about their daily life on Disney plus im rioting
@@thebestofstephx my cousin's gf is from Colombia, and the concept of magical realism used in the show originated in Colombia. So she was really excited for this movie. Haven't heard back from her yet
I saw in a comment on another reaction that I hadn't even realized, the older people/adults in the movie are the same people that fled their homes with Abuela. The miracle didn't just protect and help Abuela's family, but they were all saved and protected by it. So you can kinda understand their own nervousness about something being wrong with the miracle.
Apparently, "Oscar Madrigal" is a very common Colombian name, so they decided to give the character another one, and presented Lin Manuel with a list. He chose "Bruno" especially so he could work in the "no-no-no" part.
I wish this movie came out like 10 years earlier, this would've been on in constant repeat when I was younger. This is the type of movie I mean when I say I love Disney movies.
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.
I love the details on all their costumes that show elements of their powers and Mirabel has a mixture of all of their colours on hers And the difference between the first flashback where it's sort of romanticised and calm and the second where she has a full-on break down
@@marleinasmom no, it's said that it has to do with Colombian traditions n such, and it's not even the right shade of colors. It's not the bisexual flag
@@Half_Blood_Hufflepuff Oh? Just because the clothing style and coloring is representative of Colombia does not mean that the animators didn't add personal elements. Stephanie Beatriz is a very outspoken bisexual and LGBTQA+ advocate. Disney is also very LGBTQA+ friendly. The tiny little rainbow is fuschia, purple, and blue- in that order. The bisexual flag is also fuschia, purple, and blue. Same order.
During Luisa's part I like to think she's so strong that she moves the floor with pure brute strength. I love Luisa so much 💓 I'd say she's my fave but I'd be lying since I can't pick
These two masterpieces are what makes me feel inspired these last weeks. I feel so blessed to live at a time when I can experience such an incredible level of animation 🧡
Notes that aren't spoilers, but point to the characters - 1 ) Dolores actively participates in the opening song, and appears to really enjoy it. Her line at the end "Oh, she didn't get one" is said like it's not really that important, and her cousin is still her cousin. And what she later says to Isabella's former fiance shows what she finds important, and none of those things reference his appearance. 2 ) Antonio doesn't say he wishes Mirabel had a Gift - he says he wishes she had a DOOR. Small, but significant difference, that tells to how he loves his cousin for HER, not for any gift. 3 ) The only person that Luisa would have EVER confessed her stress and pressure to is Mirabel. Even during the song, she does little things to take care of her sister - like straightening her glasses after the iceberg line. 4 ) When Mirabel's parents stand up for their daughter, everyone I knew cheered. :D
I'll add one, which is when Isabella hears that the handsome guy wants five babies, she pops flowers out of her hair. Abuela immediately picks out the one that doesn't match the others, showing how Isabella is forced to be perfect because of Abuela.
I'm Colombian, and this movie felt like a beautiful representation of the diversity or my country. Abuela's story was so touching to me because it's based on real violence a lot of families have experienced here.
I think many people watching the movie miss the point of the movie. I think almost every latinamerican can relate to the generational trauma and how it's so normalized here. Many of the songs explain the intense pressure or the need to be perfect to satisfy their parents. And something not many adults see (I'm so glad we got a movie about something so normalized) it's that is so normalized that when you comment this to your parents they say things like "I survived through it, it's normal" and I'm so glad this generation is finally seeing how harmful that is.
People also kept missing the point of this movie by *to* Focusing on the miracle itself. C'mon y'all this movie has a deep meaning in it, its not only about the miracle. ( Not saying that its not allowed to talk about the powers! )
Bruno, In my opinion, acts the way Abuela thought she did. Everything he does is for the good of the family. He tried to lift Pepa's mood on her wedding day because she was nervous, he removed himself from the family because his presence was causing issues, He kept the prophecy about Mirabel a secret because he knew she would get ostracized like him if it came out, he stayed and patched the walls in secret so he could help without being seen. Abuela tried to be for the village what Pedro had been for her, but Bruno actually was just like his father
I cried so many times during this movie.... Look, I just got into sewing. My first project took me 2 months to finish. Seeing that hard work go up in flames, seeing Abuela's utter indifference towards Mirabel's effort, attention and love made me sob like a sad sack of potatoes.
I just watched this yesterday and I LOVE IT! Also, people have said it in other reactions but I'll relay it here: The true miracle is to get an Abuela to admit that she was wrong.
Fun fact: if you carefully listen to the part when Bruno is singing to Pepa "let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it, snow let it goooooo!" the beginning piano notes from the song Let It Go can be heard!
One of my favourite details is how are the beginning when Abuella is telling the story of the miracle to baby Mirabel, the animation of it we see is pretty toned down. Her husband vanishes, and then the miracle comes and the house waves hello and Abuella is happy. It's like how Mirabel is imagining it as a child comprehending a fairy tale. And then when we see the full story near the end it's far more detailed - we see the sword in the horseman's hand and fully understand the impact of that, young Abuella has a much bigger reaction to the loss, and then when the miracle happens she loses the chance to process her grief as she's suddenly surrounded by all those people looking to her to lead them because she's the one with the miracle and she doesn't really know what she's doing, just that she has to protect everyone. It's the difference between a child's and an adults understanding of what it means to lose everything.
Literally every reaction channel says "60 years!?!?" And I'm like "Uh, no.... This is their 60th Animated Movie" Just something that I noticed for almost every reactor
The more I listen to "Waiting on a Miracle," the more I resonate with it, especially the lines "Always walking alone..." "I'm fine, I'm totally fine... I'm not fine, I'm not fiiiiine" "I can't take another night up in my room..." Like damn stop calling me out like that 😭
Not sure if you noticed this or not while watching, but my favorite detail is that in “All of You”, when Bruno says the line “let it in, let it out, let it go”, the opening piano motive from Frozen’s Let it Go is playing in the accompaniment. I love the little things like that that Lin-Manuel puts in his music!
Definitely one of Lin Manuel Miranda’s best!! Seriously the Stephen Sondheim of our generation. Btw, if you’re looking looking for your next film, Rise of the Guardians just became available on Netflix if you haven’t seen it before - beautiful animation and music, great voices and voice acting. One of Dreamworks’ bests!
I'm so glad you did this one. It is such a layered film. Like everyone seemed simple, but also carried their own complexities. The visuals were absolutely stunning. The attention to detail on the fabrics, the voice acting was amazing and realistic, there was no real 'villain'. Like you thought Abuela was the villain, but turns out she was just a victim of a greater conflict that was only briefly touched on. If you look into Colombian culture and history, the film becomes even sadder and more poignant in its telling.
I'm from Colombia and I cried since the first minute when I saw all the details about my country. Everything was so accurate: the clothes, the food, the music, the animals, the plants... I loved it! They even included a fact of Colombia's history: forced migration. Abuela's story is the story of thousands of colombians, who had to leave their villages because of violence. Disney made an excellent work representing Colombia in this film! 🇨🇴
I am here to appreciate Pepa and her husband! They are such a cute couple, Felix is totally into Pepa's temperament and is always on her side while having his own personality and flare for drama, and Pepa is a dramatic queen xD And her cloud literally disappears when she gets a sip of that good ol' coffee, same Pepa, same! :'D
Honestly. They were meant to be. And the way he stood up for her when Abuela told her to calm down later in the film. Its small and subtle but i think that just makes me love them more.
I just really love how Mirabel loves her family so much, even cared about the candle enough to save it, and she never got a gift. Not to mention, Casita won’t even let anyone else try to save it. When it matters, she doesn’t resent not having a gift. Her gift is her heart ❤️
There's a really cool detail someone pointed out that explains why Mirabel didn't get a gift like her cousins and sisters. If you look closely during her cousins ceremony and her flashback of her own ceremony, you'll see after Mirabel touched the candle, she wiped her hands on her dress before touching her doorknob, which then disappeared. Antonio doesn't wipe his hands. He touches the candle, then the doorknob and gets his animal powers. What I would love to know is how Abuela's three children got their powers. How did this whole ceremony of inviting the community over, touching the candle, and getting a room that showcases their powers start? How did they discover this? Did Pepe, Bruno, and Julieta touch the candle when they were 5 by accident and get powers? Did Casita somehow tell them?
Considering Abuela also doesn’t have a gift but does have the role maintaining the magic and Mirabel helped bring the magic back, my interpretation is she’ll take over the role of matriarch
when the dad says "miercoles" is actually a reference only people that speaks spanish understand, we, or at least I use that word, to censore "m13rda" that means sh1t, so yes, he technically, said sh1t for a disney movie
YESS your enjoyment of this was so much fun, and I love how you were so intrigued by the Latin American Magical Realism genre! And Mirabel DID have a power this whole time -- the reason her first door ceremony when she was 5 didn't work was because it was the wrong door. Recall that every family member has a door that shows them in brighter etching in the center, surrounded by a depiction of their power in lighter etching, which leads to a room that caters to their power. For Mirabel, though, her power is being the heart of the family, holding them together, getting them to open up, supporting them, and eventually leading them. Her door, which she got at the end, showed her etched more brightly in the center, with her family, the depiction of her power, etched around her more lightly, just like the other doors, and her door leads to THE WHOLE HOUSE, the FRONT door, because Casita is the representation of Mirabel's family magic. Her room is the whole house, she just needed the right door, and because her power is magical but not supernatural the way the others' powers were, it looked like she had no gift when the first door ceremony failed. This is further confirmed by the fact that Mirabel is now the embodiment of the encanto, because they never got the candle back -- Casita came back and the family powers returned because of Mirabel. I also posit that Mirabel will be the next community leader, after Abuela steps down.
I absolutely love Big Hero 6 and it’s my favorite Disney movie but Encanto…maybe took it’s place? Maybe? It’s so freaking good. And the music is just absolutely killer.
You're the first one I've seen who noticed/pointed out the M on the front door was for both Madrigal and Mirabel. Mirabel is the only one in the family with a name that starts with M. That, in itself, could have been foreshadowing. From the beginning, she had the most interaction with Casita. Other than Abuela, she was the only one who openly communicated with it. Mirabel's gift is her family, she is next in line to be the keeper of the candle. Like Abuela Alma.
If you're wondering what happened with Abuelo Pedro, he died protecting his family during the Colombian conflict, in which rooted in the country's 10 year civil war called La Violencia, that started with the assassination of their president, Jorge Eliécer Gaitán in 1948. It only became recently in 2016 that both the government and rebel forces signed a ceasefire. Despite this, the movie definitely become one of the first movies, for a mainstream audience, to show that the country its always like that.
For me, this is one of those movies where the sum of its parts are greater than the whole. There is so much I do like about it, but it feels like it's rushing to get to the end. I'd love to have seen the entire family fleshed out more. However, what we got is still a great movie with a powerful message
It hasn't been 60 years, it has been 99 years since disney was established and 85 years since Snow White was released... This is the 60th Animated Motion Picture... So, not wild, WILDER lol
I think Mirabel doesn’t have a gift because she’ll end up taking after her grandma, and take care of the candle and do the gift ceremonies n stuff. Plus there’s a whole lot of butterfly imagery in this movie, and both Mirabel and the grandma have butterflies on their dresses, so I feel could that could also be hinting at Mirabel taking after her. And they both have a special connection with the house….AAAA I love this movieeee
Personally, I love the fan theory that Mirabel's "power" is that she's going to be the one to take on the mantle of Abuela Alma and be the protector of the candle.
You should definitely check out the Netflix show "Arcane". It's AWESOME. 10/10 for everything: soundtrack, characters and their development, the voice acting, the animation and the storyline 😍😅😂 Btw: I love your reactions 😊
@@thebestofstephx that's great☺️believe me it's so worth watching. It's my 2nd favorite show of 2021 (after WandaVision). The first two episodes are already sooo amazing BUT the 3rd is really something different 😍
Ah, I was waiting for your reaction, I've been really obsessed with this film for more than two weeks. As you said, the film is magnificent both visually, musically and in its message. And you can watch it several times to get all the details, there are so many, like for example all the pressure allegories during Luisa's song, the donkeys that are a representation of her (a beast of burden), and the fact that the fear that we see on Mirabel's face is not for herself, but for her sister who is doing too much. You can see Bruno in the background also during the passage of Dolores in "we don't talk about Bruno" and other really well rendered expressions, like Isabella who really doesn't look comfortable in the idea of having five babies and getting married (as she later reveals). For me, one of the greatest successes is precisely the expressiveness of the characters, through their facial expression and their movement, all of them are full of life, of emotion, with the acting as a bonus, it was ideal for this kind of films, which is not based on a villain to face for once, but on personal problems to solve (like an Inside Out). I really loved this movie and I think it will remain one of my favorites for a long time.
Mirabelle inhereted Abuela's power: not an "ability", but a deep connection with the house and the miracle. She is the promise that when abuela dies some day, the miracle lives on.
This movie was truly written with Latinos in mind. We didn't need explanation for any of these phrases like when Pedro was lost and why the house was musical and magical. It's so interesting to see how people either misinterpret or just don't get the nuances in this film. Perfect opportunity to learn about a culture different than your own.
They really did a great job with how you really start to resent abuela - only to realise that while her actions weren't good, they were the result of deepseated and treeible Trauma, that she never had any chance to work through. Instead of being able to seee a Therapist or lean on someone, she was mostly alone and responsible for at least the three lifes of her infants, not too mention she seems to be a Village Leader (and this seems to have been the case before, her and Pedro are leading the People out, so either they led together or he was the main leader and she assumed his role after he died) and is now responsible for rebuilding this community of refugees. So, instead of processing and moving on, she held tight and became more and more hardened and scared of losing control.
i like to think that when mirabel brought casita back and the front door shined like other family members' doors when they got gifted, mirabel got gifted too. and her gift was casita :D
When I watched the movie for the first time, I was also bummed that Mirabel didn't get a power of her own. But now, after watching it a few times, I think she'll be the one to take over for her Abuela. Her and Abuela seem to have a specific special relationship with Casita.
This is such a good movie!! I still cry every time I watch it. If you didn’t notice when Bruno says let it go, they actually play the melody of let it go. This movie is so well done. Hey I don’t know if your patreons has suggested Arcane for you to watch but I’d think you’d enjoy it. 9 episodes and it hits all the right spots. It’s got Korra level fighting, the animation style is beautiful and unique and the characters and the story will have you ready to cry, excited and left stunned.
If your heart doesn't melt whenever Antonio is onscreen, are you okay? On a side note, if I was Antonio, I would never want to leave my room cause I would just hang out and play in my jungle. Also, earlier this week, I watched this movie with my aunts, and it was their first time seeing it, and after Mirabel said, "Wait, how do I save a miracle?", one of my aunts said the same thing: "Yeah, I was just about to say, 'How does she know what to look for?'"
In “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” although Isabella’s prophecy seems like the only positive one, it is actually not. Isabella is told she’ll get the man and the perfect life, but she doesn’t actually want that.
She's told that the life of HER dreams would be promised and one day be hers. And that her power would grow. Both of these things do come true. She didn't want to be perfect and in the end, she didn't have to be. And because she realized she could make things that weren't perfect, her power grew from merely pretty flowers to things she could express her feelings with.
Encanto is the 60th animated Disney film and Tangled was the 50th animated Disney film. And the company of Disney will be 100 years old in October 2023
The scene where Abuela is just yelling at Mirabel after Isabela's song ticks me off so bad... My sister and I fought like cats and dogs when we were teenagers, but one time my grandmother said something to her that was complete bull hockey and I was immediately at her like 'don't talk to my sister that way!' and I sat with my sister when she cried because of what our grandmother said. Maybe it was just my household but look, no one talks to MY sister that way, no matter how badly we get along!
There’s a couple of spots before he’s revealed that you can spot Bruno in the background. The big one is during Delores singing in “we don’t talk about Bruno”
I have been made aware of my stupidity and that it’s been 60 movies NOT 60 years… 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
It is ok
Sameee
As far as I'm concerned, it's still 59 because a movie was grandfathered in to market Tangled as the 50th, but when I say "a" movie it's actually two different films depending on the country (Dinosaur in US+ and The Wild in UK+), and neither of them were full-on Animation Studios productions.

@@spankinrainbows1587 Also pretty sure the writers already confirmed that's Bruno.

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.
Oh 100% - Bruno is his father's son, even has the same goofy side we saw in Pedro during "Dos Oruguitas"
Yes, he's really like his father. About Camilo, he's 15 years old like Mirabel (he's older than her) so he was 5 the last time he saw Bruno
Uh...I didn't get the text what does that mean 😕
"What is her power?"
Everyone else has a room, a room that reflects their power.
Mirabel has the entire *house* - her family is literally her power.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to think so. Add to that is the possibility that Mirabel may have replaced the candle herself--in other words, she may now be the source of the magic or the embodiment of the candle's role.
I believe Isaac Carlson has put an argument that Mirabel does not need a power due to her future role as Abuela's successor.
Abuela doesn't have a power either, and she's 70-ish. I figured Mirabel was just the next in line to be in charge.
Mirabel is meant to be the next caregiver of casita, the one that will be the matriarch when Alma leaves^^
Maribel's door is the front door to the Casita. Her gift is being connected to Casita the same way Abuela is.
Not until the end. But the house does seem to realize from the start that that's how things are meant to go.
I love how much little Antonio cares and worries about Mirabel. He uses that toucan to kind of keep on eye on her when she goes to Bruno's room and make sure that she's okay.
He totally bailed and left her though
@@wolfheartspirit97 in behalf of the Toucan community, I would bail out and leave her too rather than be mummified inside Bruno's cave.😄❗✨
Awww! I didn't realize that! But that makes sense (using the toucan to watch over her).
@@wolfheartspirit97 Antonio is a child, I wouldn’t blame his reaction.
At first I read this as: "I love how little Antonio cares..." And was confused.
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!

"What's her power?" - Mirabel had a power all along : she can control the house. The only other character seen doing this was Abuela, and she'll basically pass the torch to Mirabel
Love that!
She didn't have to all the time. She had it after the candle went out.
@@Milk-ck1wv Not really. Mirabel has always had a special connection to Casita other than Abuela before the candle started to go out. She’s basically solidified as the next head of the family when u look at all the details about her and Abuela other than their connection to Casita.
It’s solidified when she puts the door knob on the door. Most likely she’ll get abuelas room when she passes.
I have a theory, so mirabel's door fade out and turns into the house's front door. But she was not be able to 'activate' it because she always feel like she left behind (well she does), and at the end all the family was finally see her and she feel accepted. That's why she can bring the magic back and have a door (i mean, she is in the front)
Sorry for my english, it's not my first language ♡
I did love how Luisa got yeeted into a hammock, the house being like, 'nope, nope, nope, _YOU_ take a break.'
for rel
I like this moment too but I think Antonio is for something 😉
The song about Bruno gives a clear foreshadowing that Dolores knew about Bruno's presence, with the lyrics:
"I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling".
You can also see him in the background vibing to her part since she's the only one who's objective and understanding about his burden of foresight:
"It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling
Always left Abuela and the family fumbling
Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand
Do you understand?"
A really nice detail if you ask me!
love that!
Also about this verse, I kinda like to think that Dolores heard Mirabel when she was in Bruno's tower and guessed that she found the vision but didn't actually hear what was in it (maybe because the sand starting to fall and the cracks forming covered up when Mirabel said "Me?"), which is why she asks "Do you understand?" at the end of her verse, as if to say "They couldn't understand their prophecies, do you understand the one you found?"
Or it could also have been her asking if Mirabel understands the underlying message of what she said, i.e. the fact that Bruno is still around, and/or that he wasn't a bad guy.
Im actually pretty sure the dude vibing in the background was Camilo (his eyes were glowing, and Bruno hasn’t used his gift since he ran away)
Yep, Dolores tells Mirabel everything she needs to know about Bruno and then asks “Do you understand?”
@@gigikju9934 The one vibing at the end of the verse is Camilo. But look at the ground floor at the beginning of Dolores. Another hooded figure walks past.
It's the real Bruno.
I was not impressed by the trailers but I KEPT seeing TIKTOKS about it so I finally went and my god it was incredible. And if they don’t make a tv show about their daily life on Disney plus im rioting
ugh i’d love that!!!
@@thebestofstephx Same I love you 😘💕❤️ Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎈
Right!!! I seriously wanna see everyone else’s rooms
@@enyamoore7929 I think Luisa’s room is all stone, but she has a secret room for pressure and relaxation, like a beach house.
@@advisor. That sound cool!
Best Disney movie of the last 10 years, imo. Bumped Zootopia to second place
It was so good!!
@@thebestofstephx my cousin's gf is from Colombia, and the concept of magical realism used in the show originated in Colombia. So she was really excited for this movie. Haven't heard back from her yet
Coco is my second place
Have you seen Luca? I feel that movie also is on par with this movie
@@siddhantpoojary3491 nah, coco is on par with encanto, luca is great but it doesn't have that great musical like coco or encanto
I saw in a comment on another reaction that I hadn't even realized, the older people/adults in the movie are the same people that fled their homes with Abuela. The miracle didn't just protect and help Abuela's family, but they were all saved and protected by it. So you can kinda understand their own nervousness about something being wrong with the miracle.
Fun fact Bruno original name was Oscar but Lin Manuel asked if they could change it to Bruno so it could go with Bruno no no
Imagine he didn't. "We don't talk about Oscar car car" ☠
Apparently, "Oscar Madrigal" is a very common Colombian name, so they decided to give the character another one, and presented Lin Manuel with a list. He chose "Bruno" especially so he could work in the "no-no-no" part.
@@voorth yeah they were confused why he chose Bruno until they heard the song
I wish this movie came out like 10 years earlier, this would've been on in constant repeat when I was younger. This is the type of movie I mean when I say I love Disney movies.
@@80sCanadian True but I wanted it when growing up TwT
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.
Mirabel doesn't get any gift in the end because throughout the movie, she WAS the gift to her family. I love this movie!!
I love the details on all their costumes that show elements of their powers and Mirabel has a mixture of all of their colours on hers
And the difference between the first flashback where it's sort of romanticised and calm and the second where she has a full-on break down
In honor of Stephanie Beatriz, Maribel has the Bisexual pride rainbow on her dress.
@@marleinasmom no, it's said that it has to do with Colombian traditions n such, and it's not even the right shade of colors. It's not the bisexual flag
@@Half_Blood_Hufflepuff
Oh? Just because the clothing style and coloring is representative of Colombia does not mean that the animators didn't add personal elements. Stephanie Beatriz is a very outspoken bisexual and LGBTQA+ advocate. Disney is also very LGBTQA+ friendly. The tiny little rainbow is fuschia, purple, and blue- in that order. The bisexual flag is also fuschia, purple, and blue. Same order.
@@marleinasmom are you sure it wasn't for symbolize Pepa's gift ?
@@a.g.demada5263
It could be, but it is in the color pattern of the bisexual flag
During Luisa's part I like to think she's so strong that she moves the floor with pure brute strength. I love Luisa so much 💓 I'd say she's my fave but I'd be lying since I can't pick
I think its just that the house Is magic and is making her a treadmill
Me either! I love all of them, it feels like its not fair to pick favorites, They're all awesome.
She's my favorite character too.
I think her power is like the grandmother she has the most control and communication with the casita
love that!
Honestly, between this and Arcane, animation has just been WINNING.
OMG YESSSS ARCANE’S ANIMATION WAS WILD ASF!!!
Love them both
A-freaking-men! Arcane is sooo good too!
These two masterpieces are what makes me feel inspired these last weeks. I feel so blessed to live at a time when I can experience such an incredible level of animation 🧡
YES ARCANE WAS SO FKN GOOD
Notes that aren't spoilers, but point to the characters -
1 ) Dolores actively participates in the opening song, and appears to really enjoy it. Her line at the end "Oh, she didn't get one" is said like it's not really that important, and her cousin is still her cousin. And what she later says to Isabella's former fiance shows what she finds important, and none of those things reference his appearance.
2 ) Antonio doesn't say he wishes Mirabel had a Gift - he says he wishes she had a DOOR. Small, but significant difference, that tells to how he loves his cousin for HER, not for any gift.
3 ) The only person that Luisa would have EVER confessed her stress and pressure to is Mirabel. Even during the song, she does little things to take care of her sister - like straightening her glasses after the iceberg line.
4 ) When Mirabel's parents stand up for their daughter, everyone I knew cheered. :D
I'll add one, which is when Isabella hears that the handsome guy wants five babies, she pops flowers out of her hair. Abuela immediately picks out the one that doesn't match the others, showing how Isabella is forced to be perfect because of Abuela.
I want to to give Bruno the biggest warmest hug🥺. He's my new comfort character
Antonio is mine!!
@@thebestofstephx Luisa is mine
Mine are Bruno, Mirabel, Isabela, Luisa and Dolores (and Antonio too)
I'm Colombian, and this movie felt like a beautiful representation of the diversity or my country. Abuela's story was so touching to me because it's based on real violence a lot of families have experienced here.
I think many people watching the movie miss the point of the movie. I think almost every latinamerican can relate to the generational trauma and how it's so normalized here. Many of the songs explain the intense pressure or the need to be perfect to satisfy their parents. And something not many adults see (I'm so glad we got a movie about something so normalized) it's that is so normalized that when you comment this to your parents they say things like "I survived through it, it's normal" and I'm so glad this generation is finally seeing how harmful that is.
i totally agree!
People also kept missing the point of this movie by *to* Focusing on the miracle itself. C'mon y'all this movie has a deep meaning in it, its not only about the miracle. ( Not saying that its not allowed to talk about the powers! )
@@wtowsn5127 yep, I really like how the powers make it so people can actually see the pressure
Bruno, In my opinion, acts the way Abuela thought she did. Everything he does is for the good of the family. He tried to lift Pepa's mood on her wedding day because she was nervous, he removed himself from the family because his presence was causing issues, He kept the prophecy about Mirabel a secret because he knew she would get ostracized like him if it came out, he stayed and patched the walls in secret so he could help without being seen.
Abuela tried to be for the village what Pedro had been for her, but Bruno actually was just like his father
I cried so many times during this movie.... Look, I just got into sewing. My first project took me 2 months to finish. Seeing that hard work go up in flames, seeing Abuela's utter indifference towards Mirabel's effort, attention and love made me sob like a sad sack of potatoes.
I just watched this yesterday and I LOVE IT!
Also, people have said it in other reactions but I'll relay it here: The true miracle is to get an Abuela to admit that she was wrong.
Fun fact: if you carefully listen to the part when Bruno is singing to Pepa "let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it, snow let it goooooo!" the beginning piano notes from the song Let It Go can be heard!
This is my new favorite Disney movie. I was so moved by the message and the story. It's so relatable and it means so much to me
One of my favourite details is how are the beginning when Abuella is telling the story of the miracle to baby Mirabel, the animation of it we see is pretty toned down. Her husband vanishes, and then the miracle comes and the house waves hello and Abuella is happy. It's like how Mirabel is imagining it as a child comprehending a fairy tale. And then when we see the full story near the end it's far more detailed - we see the sword in the horseman's hand and fully understand the impact of that, young Abuella has a much bigger reaction to the loss, and then when the miracle happens she loses the chance to process her grief as she's suddenly surrounded by all those people looking to her to lead them because she's the one with the miracle and she doesn't really know what she's doing, just that she has to protect everyone. It's the difference between a child's and an adults understanding of what it means to lose everything.
Literally every reaction channel says "60 years!?!?" And I'm like "Uh, no.... This is their 60th Animated Movie"
Just something that I noticed for almost every reactor
What's funny is everyone is so floored at "60 years"..... they've been around for 85 years lol
Ha. Your comment about the town being more self-sufficient is SOOOOO true. Like SERIOUSLY. Haha
it drove me wildddddddd!!
The more I listen to "Waiting on a Miracle," the more I resonate with it, especially the lines
"Always walking alone..."
"I'm fine, I'm totally fine... I'm not fine, I'm not fiiiiine"
"I can't take another night up in my room..."
Like damn stop calling me out like that 😭
Felt the same when I heard it
underrated song of Encanto
Not sure if you noticed this or not while watching, but my favorite detail is that in “All of You”, when Bruno says the line “let it in, let it out, let it go”, the opening piano motive from Frozen’s Let it Go is playing in the accompaniment. I love the little things like that that Lin-Manuel puts in his music!
how would they notice what your favourite detail is while watching the movie?
Definitely one of Lin Manuel Miranda’s best!! Seriously the Stephen Sondheim of our generation.
Btw, if you’re looking looking for your next film, Rise of the Guardians just became available on Netflix if you haven’t seen it before - beautiful animation and music, great voices and voice acting. One of Dreamworks’ bests!
thanks for the heads up!!
@@thebestofstephx it’s a fantastic movie! Please react to it ❤️
I'm so glad you did this one. It is such a layered film. Like everyone seemed simple, but also carried their own complexities. The visuals were absolutely stunning. The attention to detail on the fabrics, the voice acting was amazing and realistic, there was no real 'villain'. Like you thought Abuela was the villain, but turns out she was just a victim of a greater conflict that was only briefly touched on. If you look into Colombian culture and history, the film becomes even sadder and more poignant in its telling.
the animation, the music, the representation?? truly the best disney movie ive ever seen
It was so good!
I'm from Colombia and I cried since the first minute when I saw all the details about my country. Everything was so accurate: the clothes, the food, the music, the animals, the plants... I loved it! They even included a fact of Colombia's history: forced migration. Abuela's story is the story of thousands of colombians, who had to leave their villages because of violence. Disney made an excellent work representing Colombia in this film! 🇨🇴
"None of us will ever be good enough for you!"
And that's when it started hitting a little too close to home :,)
So glad to see this one making the rounds with reactors!
I loved it!
I feel like I've watched every Encanto reaction on UA-cam lol
@@anisa7591 so true, lol
@@anisa7591 it’s a side effect of the encanto fever lol, i’ve done the same
Mirabel's dad: Miercoles...
Me, a spanish speaker:😂😂
I am here to appreciate Pepa and her husband! They are such a cute couple, Felix is totally into Pepa's temperament and is always on her side while having his own personality and flare for drama, and Pepa is a dramatic queen xD And her cloud literally disappears when she gets a sip of that good ol' coffee, same Pepa, same! :'D
Honestly. They were meant to be. And the way he stood up for her when Abuela told her to calm down later in the film. Its small and subtle but i think that just makes me love them more.
I just really love how Mirabel loves her family so much, even cared about the candle enough to save it, and she never got a gift. Not to mention, Casita won’t even let anyone else try to save it. When it matters, she doesn’t resent not having a gift. Her gift is her heart ❤️
This was possibly my favorite Disney film. Also the fact that the unimpressed capybara isn’t already a fully viral meme is shocking.
There's a really cool detail someone pointed out that explains why Mirabel didn't get a gift like her cousins and sisters. If you look closely during her cousins ceremony and her flashback of her own ceremony, you'll see after Mirabel touched the candle, she wiped her hands on her dress before touching her doorknob, which then disappeared. Antonio doesn't wipe his hands. He touches the candle, then the doorknob and gets his animal powers.
What I would love to know is how Abuela's three children got their powers. How did this whole ceremony of inviting the community over, touching the candle, and getting a room that showcases their powers start? How did they discover this? Did Pepe, Bruno, and Julieta touch the candle when they were 5 by accident and get powers? Did Casita somehow tell them?
Considering Abuela also doesn’t have a gift but does have the role maintaining the magic and Mirabel helped bring the magic back, my interpretation is she’ll take over the role of matriarch
Isabela and Mirabel are my favorite characters! And the songs I love are "What Else Can I Do", "Waiting for a Miracle", and "Surface Pressure"!
I also got emotional when Antonio got his room and was exploring it.
when the dad says "miercoles" is actually a reference only people that speaks spanish understand, we, or at least I use that word, to censore "m13rda" that means sh1t, so yes, he technically, said sh1t for a disney movie
that’s so funny!!
YESS your enjoyment of this was so much fun, and I love how you were so intrigued by the Latin American Magical Realism genre! And Mirabel DID have a power this whole time -- the reason her first door ceremony when she was 5 didn't work was because it was the wrong door. Recall that every family member has a door that shows them in brighter etching in the center, surrounded by a depiction of their power in lighter etching, which leads to a room that caters to their power. For Mirabel, though, her power is being the heart of the family, holding them together, getting them to open up, supporting them, and eventually leading them. Her door, which she got at the end, showed her etched more brightly in the center, with her family, the depiction of her power, etched around her more lightly, just like the other doors, and her door leads to THE WHOLE HOUSE, the FRONT door, because Casita is the representation of Mirabel's family magic. Her room is the whole house, she just needed the right door, and because her power is magical but not supernatural the way the others' powers were, it looked like she had no gift when the first door ceremony failed. This is further confirmed by the fact that Mirabel is now the embodiment of the encanto, because they never got the candle back -- Casita came back and the family powers returned because of Mirabel. I also posit that Mirabel will be the next community leader, after Abuela steps down.
1:54 - It's been 84 years. No, this isn't a Titanic meme, Snow White came out in 1937. XD This is the 60th animated feature made by Disney.
camilo deserved so much more screen time
fun fact: dolores is the only one not smileing on the door, because her gift is a curse if she needs to cover her ears when fireworks are going off
I’ve watched the movie multiple times already, but I definitely went on the emotional journey with you during this reaction! Loved it!!
I absolutely love Big Hero 6 and it’s my favorite Disney movie but Encanto…maybe took it’s place? Maybe? It’s so freaking good. And the music is just absolutely killer.
You're the first one I've seen who noticed/pointed out the M on the front door was for both Madrigal and Mirabel. Mirabel is the only one in the family with a name that starts with M. That, in itself, could have been foreshadowing. From the beginning, she had the most interaction with Casita. Other than Abuela, she was the only one who openly communicated with it. Mirabel's gift is her family, she is next in line to be the keeper of the candle. Like Abuela Alma.
Why aren’t we talking about how amazing Diane Guerrero was. Like she is a quadruple threat. And Stephanie was also amazing too obviously
Your reactions are everything 😭 AND YES ANTONIO IS ADORABLE!!! HE IS PRECIOUS CHILD 💗 😭
15:18 that powerful *ISABELA!?!* was just hilarious to me 😂
If you're wondering what happened with Abuelo Pedro, he died protecting his family during the Colombian conflict, in which rooted in the country's 10 year civil war called La Violencia, that started with the assassination of their president, Jorge Eliécer Gaitán in 1948. It only became recently in 2016 that both the government and rebel forces signed a ceasefire. Despite this, the movie definitely become one of the first movies, for a mainstream audience, to show that the country its always like that.
This is by far one of the best Disney animated movies ever it’s so good.
Her “power” was the connection to the house, like abuela (notice they are the only two that talk to the house) so her door was the front door
For me, this is one of those movies where the sum of its parts are greater than the whole. There is so much I do like about it, but it feels like it's rushing to get to the end. I'd love to have seen the entire family fleshed out more. However, what we got is still a great movie with a powerful message
I'm literally just watching people react to the movie and I'm just like yep. Cry with me. Yep I cried at that same moment too.
I was waiting for you to watch this my fellow Lin Manuel Miranda stan
No surprise 😏😏
@@thebestofstephx he killed it like always of course
It hasn't been 60 years, it has been 99 years since disney was established and 85 years since Snow White was released... This is the 60th Animated Motion Picture... So, not wild, WILDER lol
Went and saw this in theaters twice. After it came out on disney plus I've seen it 7 more times and don't intend on stopping.
“It’s been 60 years?!” No that was about Encanto being their 60th animated feature film😂😂
I think Mirabel doesn’t have a gift because she’ll end up taking after her grandma, and take care of the candle and do the gift ceremonies n stuff. Plus there’s a whole lot of butterfly imagery in this movie, and both Mirabel and the grandma have butterflies on their dresses, so I feel could that could also be hinting at Mirabel taking after her. And they both have a special connection with the house….AAAA I love this movieeee
Glad to see your reaction! And love that you can hear LMM in the lyrical style and layering work
I think Mirabel's power is to protect the magic now, just like the Abuela did, loved your reaction 🥰
Personally, I love the fan theory that Mirabel's "power" is that she's going to be the one to take on the mantle of Abuela Alma and be the protector of the candle.
"You knew the whole time?!"
Lol listen to her Verse of "We don't talk about Bruno" one more time now that you know what you know 😉
17:07 I really love your laugh here 😂
Great story with nothing but banger songs. Love this movie.
This movie has had the strangest affect on me it seems like every time I watch it I cry more and more each time. I don’t know what’s wrong with me 🥺
There's nothing wrong with u. I cried a lot during this movie as well...
Her 'power' is to take care of the family, that's why she is having the Casita 's keys
I know they're for copyright purposes but I actually enjoy the pitched up parts of the songs 😂😂❤️❤️
i think it’s fun too!
You should definitely check out the Netflix show "Arcane". It's AWESOME. 10/10 for everything: soundtrack, characters and their development, the voice acting, the animation and the storyline 😍😅😂
Btw: I love your reactions 😊
i keep hearing about this show! it’s on my list!!
@@thebestofstephx that's great☺️believe me it's so worth watching. It's my 2nd favorite show of 2021 (after WandaVision). The first two episodes are already sooo amazing BUT the 3rd is really something different 😍
Ah, I was waiting for your reaction, I've been really obsessed with this film for more than two weeks. As you said, the film is magnificent both visually, musically and in its message. And you can watch it several times to get all the details, there are so many, like for example all the pressure allegories during Luisa's song, the donkeys that are a representation of her (a beast of burden), and the fact that the fear that we see on Mirabel's face is not for herself, but for her sister who is doing too much.
You can see Bruno in the background also during the passage of Dolores in "we don't talk about Bruno" and other really well rendered expressions, like Isabella who really doesn't look comfortable in the idea of having five babies and getting married (as she later reveals).
For me, one of the greatest successes is precisely the expressiveness of the characters, through their facial expression and their movement, all of them are full of life, of emotion, with the acting as a bonus, it was ideal for this kind of films, which is not based on a villain to face for once, but on personal problems to solve (like an Inside Out).
I really loved this movie and I think it will remain one of my favorites for a long time.
Mirabelle inhereted Abuela's power: not an "ability", but a deep connection with the house and the miracle.
She is the promise that when abuela dies some day, the miracle lives on.
Watched a lot of reactions to this but gotta give Steph some love
This movie was truly written with Latinos in mind. We didn't need explanation for any of these phrases like when Pedro was lost and why the house was musical and magical. It's so interesting to see how people either misinterpret or just don't get the nuances in this film. Perfect opportunity to learn about a culture different than your own.
They really did a great job with how you really start to resent abuela - only to realise that while her actions weren't good, they were the result of deepseated and treeible Trauma, that she never had any chance to work through. Instead of being able to seee a Therapist or lean on someone, she was mostly alone and responsible for at least the three lifes of her infants, not too mention she seems to be a Village Leader (and this seems to have been the case before, her and Pedro are leading the People out, so either they led together or he was the main leader and she assumed his role after he died) and is now responsible for rebuilding this community of refugees.
So, instead of processing and moving on, she held tight and became more and more hardened and scared of losing control.
Great review.
It's heavily implied that Abuelo Pedro ended up being the spirit that made the house come alive
My favorite little detail in this movie is when Antonio repays the favor and walks her to the door at the end.
i like to think that when mirabel brought casita back and the front door shined like other family members' doors when they got gifted, mirabel got gifted too. and her gift was casita :D
When I watched the movie for the first time, I was also bummed that Mirabel didn't get a power of her own.
But now, after watching it a few times, I think she'll be the one to take over for her Abuela. Her and Abuela seem to have a specific special relationship with Casita.
This is such a good movie!! I still cry every time I watch it. If you didn’t notice when Bruno says let it go, they actually play the melody of let it go. This movie is so well done.
Hey I don’t know if your patreons has suggested Arcane for you to watch but I’d think you’d enjoy it. 9 episodes and it hits all the right spots. It’s got Korra level fighting, the animation style is beautiful and unique and the characters and the story will have you ready to cry, excited and left stunned.
If your heart doesn't melt whenever Antonio is onscreen, are you okay?
On a side note, if I was Antonio, I would never want to leave my room cause I would just hang out and play in my jungle.
Also, earlier this week, I watched this movie with my aunts, and it was their first time seeing it, and after Mirabel said, "Wait, how do I save a miracle?", one of my aunts said the same thing: "Yeah, I was just about to say, 'How does she know what to look for?'"
In “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” although Isabella’s prophecy seems like the only positive one, it is actually not. Isabella is told she’ll get the man and the perfect life, but she doesn’t actually want that.
She's told that the life of HER dreams would be promised and one day be hers. And that her power would grow. Both of these things do come true. She didn't want to be perfect and in the end, she didn't have to be. And because she realized she could make things that weren't perfect, her power grew from merely pretty flowers to things she could express her feelings with.
she is the gift. she's the glue of the family/house
The best part if this movie was when isabela finally got some sense in fashion
Mirabel always had her gift. Her gift was that she was the heart of the family and she didn't need a fancy door to prove it.
Encanto is the 60th animated Disney film and Tangled was the 50th animated Disney film. And the company of Disney will be 100 years old in October 2023
The scene where Abuela is just yelling at Mirabel after Isabela's song ticks me off so bad... My sister and I fought like cats and dogs when we were teenagers, but one time my grandmother said something to her that was complete bull hockey and I was immediately at her like 'don't talk to my sister that way!' and I sat with my sister when she cried because of what our grandmother said. Maybe it was just my household but look, no one talks to MY sister that way, no matter how badly we get along!
There’s a couple of spots before he’s revealed that you can spot Bruno in the background. The big one is during Delores singing in “we don’t talk about Bruno”
Abuel saying I'm broken... She:no I-yes-no 💀💀💀
The entire town depends on the family's magic because they have to. Without the Madrigal's magic, the town doesn't exist.
