The last time he talked with Mirabel was when she was five years old so for a second there he still treated her as if she was that young. I bet he would be a very nice babysitter.
The way he says "it's actually me" after pretending to be 'Hernando' makes it seem like he really thought he fooled her and it's the funniest thing ever
@@EkardRimidalv I mean he hasn’t talked to her since then, plus he’s not exactly had much social interaction with anyone since then. It’s understandable.
Bruno is such a compassionate and selfless person. 🥺 1) He spent 10 years in isolation just to save his niece from being judged like he was 2) His family was horrible to him and he still loved it 3) In the end Bruno took all the blame in front of Abuela, saying he showed Mirabel the vision even though Mirabel forced him to
Yeah, the whole movie was like this... Literally all the Madrigals: He makes bad things happen he's a monster Bruno in reality: Funny, loving, sweet, compassionate person
@@buuqioyluvsizumireina ahh… tío Bruno… I think he is Mirabel’s favorite. After all, they are the two weirdos of the family… He can become Antonio’s favorite too… his rats guided the boy to his hideout. And Antonio talks to animals… Camilo don’t remember him. But they could be acting partners. The oldest, all the girls, may find some interests commons. Dolores looks like a romantic girl, she’ll love his telenovelas… For Isabela & Luisa, I don’t know…
The way that Bruno realizes That him yelling her name scared her, Most likely because that's how abuela Get the attention of all her disappointments, and apologizes Shows so much of his character.
I thought that it was kind of cute. I'm pretty sure that she was about to swear, and he had an uncle moment, warning her to watch her language. At least, that's what I'm seeing without context.
It’s a shame he felt he had to leave when Mirabel was 5. He definitely has favorite uncle vibes. Could have been a fun childhood and good solace for the both of them.
The worst part is yet to come he's based of donkey ohtay In the story after he goes home he dives off the deep end so most likly his troubles didn't end there
@@bullishgroup8304 If that’s true, interesting, but I doubt they would take that turn being Disney.

But I never read the book so maybe my knowledge is limited. I’d love to hear more.
@@aussiebird14 yea i ment don quixote And it's not 100 one to one thing but the man thing is -they become disalusions with there family's and left -both of them ended up using a bucket for helmets -both had diffrent personalitys -and when brono runs out throw the wall you can hear don quixote theme song from the movie
3:01 I just want everybody to take a moment to appreciate this scene. Bruno's change in his voice really impressed me when I first watched the movie, because he was literally so determined to protect his niece, that she was ready to even argue with Abuela. Because of his character that's impressive, because in case you didn't know, in the deleted scenes, he actually does have a fight with Abuela, saying that he wishes he was dead, but the creators said Bruno's character wouldn't have the courage to fight with Abuela, that's why they deleted the scene. He was not ready to face Abuela, because of how scared he was of her. Even Mirabel mentioned it "You're scared Abuela will see you, right?". So for him to make such a big step JUST to protect his niece is one of the most wholesome things I saw in the movie.
Something about the fact that he is willing run straight into the fire to protect his niece and is willing take all the blame, punishment, and harassment makes me very very happy inside
To me, the first thing that stood out when I first saw Bruno were his eyes.He is disheveled like a homeless person, but his eyes are so kind, youthful and innocent.And I really loved that they went with this detail, because they say the eyes are "the windows to the soul" and it fits Bruno perfectly Also another neat detail:notice how at first, Bruno's room is aligned with his sisters rooms, but as he distances himself from the family, his room became isolated too.
I just realized that Dolores associates the sound of falling sand to him in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is because he whips sugar and salt around everywhere
@@arttrixmix7178 he hasn't used his ability since Mirabel was 5, also when she described the sound it's chhh...chhh and not a constant down pour of sound.
It can mean either way, considering Dolores is six years older than Mirabel. Shed have been 11 during the gift giving for Mirabel. Could also mean stories shes heard, or the current sounds of salt (since she still hears him muttering). Its be cute if there was a scene of someone asking to pass the salt and the salt shaker was empty tbh.
“I’m Jorge, I make the spackle” Absolutely kills me each and every time. The hard cut. The absurdity. The voice. That’s the minute I fell in love with this man
I just realized- When Pep talk about her mariage, Bruno is seen with his poncho/ruana covering his head with a "mischeavous grin", but in reality it was just Bruno, interpreting 'Hernando', trying to act bolder than he was feeling because he knew people didn't like him and maybe if he was 'someone else' he could get through it without ending with disaster.... Now I'm crying-
@@SNDodds or it's just not normal for adults to yell at children and treat them rudely for no reason? Maybe they love her and want to be kind to her?? I don't see her being treated more nicely than anyone else, in fact somewhat the opposite
@@handfulmousefly With the exception of Abuela, and to some extent, Isabela, most of the other family members are always kind to Mirabel. Her aunt Pepa gets a bit grumpy at her sometimes, but it's just Pepa being Pepa. Other than that, they all seem to cherish her a lot.
the way he was fully expecting her to be disappointed to see him like the only reason he was doing it was to protect mirabel, and he genuinely couldn't understand why she was happy he was back. it makes me feel sad like he genuinely thought so little of himself
I admit, I burst out laughing at the part where Mirabelle dropped him in the "pit" at the sight of a rat, the timing of that whole scene was comedy gold
@@rosavillanueva5189 YOURE SO RIGHT ive been saying this so much something about bruno is just so very autistic and i think he has some ocd coding as well
@@mybiggestfan AHHHH MORE AUTISTIC BRUNO HCS i honestly think mirabel is autistic too i relate to both bruno and mirabel a lot bc im autistic and dont fit in with my neurotypical family
ofc encanto isnt about autism and is about generational trauma, but i do definitely think both bruno and mirabel can be read as autistic and are very relatable to me
Bruno is such a breath of fresh air, they could've easily made him another villian but they made him one of the most kind hearted and selfless characters in the film. Like this man hid away for 10 years not because his family and the town mistreated him, but because he knew if they saw the vision of Mirabel they would've treated her the same way they treated him, and even despite despite that he stays in the walls of the house because he still loves them. If that doesn't show how much he adores his family then I don't know what will I love the moment at 2:09 when he raises his voice, he immediately apologises and quiets down when he sees Mirabel flinch. It shows his understanding and love for his niece, and it makes you wonder if he saw himself when she flinched He's basically a reverse twist villain, instead of being a seemily nice guy who turns out to be evil without any build up, he's someone who's seen as a villian but in reality he's a complete cinnamon bun and there's just enough hints to have this reveal be believable
He‘s so pure, innocent and worrying / thinking about everybody around him, especially all of his family, which makes him so so precious. Every time he appeared it was so interesting, hope we will see him again with more stories!
If anything Abuella is the twist villain. (Though not on purpose, she just puts too much trust on, "If you do good things, then nothing bad can happen to you")
He is such a sweet person. The fact that he felt responsible for his family's future, he gave up his life, even though he knew that his family will bring him up as a bad memory. That shows how pure and caring he is.
a sequel were the grandmom kills everyone in the town, revives them, gets a new merical of a 3rd chance, and meriabel becomes an imortal demon after the grandmom blames her
I always have lumps on my throat when I remember that scene where he's trying to join their family dinner secretly behind those walls. He's so precious.
I love that the only time he raises his voice at someone it's because he's so terrified Mirabel might cause a rift with her sisters through misunderstanding just like he did. And he knows she loves her sister even if they're at odds. He doesn't keep shouting (he probably knows Dolores doesn't need that anyway) but after 10 years in hiding trying to fix the cracks in la casita he knew he had to be a bit more forceful pulling her away from getting into a bigger fight with Isabela. Just such a wonderful uncle
Something I love about his character is that he’s so afraid of his own prophecies that’s resulted in him being superstitious- whence knocking on all the walls and throwing salt over his shoulder to ward away bad luck- I think that’s amazing character development
Idk if you believe in stuff like this.. but I have visions but obviously not like Bruno. It's hard to tell what is going to happen and what was just a false alarm and it made me paranoid and my OCD and anxiety horribly worse. As a kid it made me cry cause well... seeing something and it happens the same way is scary af.
@@patiencecampbell4069 I think it's just human intuition. I've had things happen to me also. But for me it's bad because I'm a hypochondriac, so it stresses me out even more whenever I start having intrusive thoughts about some kind of ilness, because I can't tell what's a "prediction" and what's just a passing, meaningless thought.
This poor man. He doesn’t make the future, he just sees it. He’s so sweet and gentle. The way he says sorry to Mirabel when he raises his voice. His little social quirks because he’s lived in the walls for so long, but never left his family. 😭😭 Disney did so great when writing his character.
Right. The fact that no one ever consoled him and thought about the burden he carried, always seeing the future and seeing something bad happen. I don't think people see the severity of the situation simply because the family made amends with him, but he felt forced too isolate himself within the walls, for OVER A DECADE. The birthdays he missed, the conversations, the family dinners. All because people couldn't grasp the fact that he's not MAKING things happen, he's just seeing them. And after he was gone no one even felt bad, they continued to treat him like a disease. It's just terrible, and he's owed a huge apology.
@@noelle2654 they probably could grasp it, they were just too afraid of not being the perfect family and the town wasn’t the perfect town, so having an imperfect person in an otherwise perfect town would be easier for everyone else
I get why julietta would be happy to see bruno since she is the sweetest of the madrigals but i thought pepa hated her brother. She spent much of the movie refusing to even talk about him and complains that he ruined her wedding
@@finnheisenheim8274 well keep in mind she hasn’t seen him in so long. And Abuela even made it sound like he left the family on his own Will making him out to be the bad guy. I don’t think Pepa really thought he was a bad guy but it’s easier to assume and say someone is bad if you never see them and weren’t expecting to. Like Bruno said, it’s easy to blame him for things going wrong. Seeing him in front of her, Pepa probably realized how petty she was being about her wedding. He is family and I’m sure both sisters missed their brother in the end
bruno uniting with his sisters while looking scared that they’re gonna hate him, then they run up to him and comfort him is the fucking sweetest thing and makes me sob every time. this movie is fucking beautiful
The fact that everyone thought he was someone to fear is sad. But I’m starting to think about what Dolores thinks of him, if she can hear him inside the walls, wouldn’t she know what he says especially with the rats? Bruno is the best character in Encanto by far in my opinion
She said in her part of the song that people feared him because he humbled them and they didnt understand him, so i think she was the only one who didnt fear him
@@Forevermoonlighte man I didn't realize that was what she said. Dolores probably thought Bruno hiding was for the best since he was probably miserable trying to convince the town and his mom he was useful.
I can't get over how Camilo's whole part in we don't talk about bruno was about how terrifying this guy is and his "seven foot frame" then we meet him and he's a tiny ball of pure anxiety
I think Camilo remembers him as "7 feet tall" and scary because the last time Camilo saw him, Camilo was a very small young child. So it would make sense for him think of him as huge and to a little kid the weird uncle with pet rats and all might seem frightening even if he is a great guy.
@@lycadia oh yeah definitely, but i just found it utterly hilarious cuz while watching the movie i was expecting someone super sinister but instead we got a cute bean
Bruno is the most heroic character ever, he has never stopped to think about himself, he's always putting his family first even when he felt they didn't welcome him… the fact that he came up to take the blame for mirabel at the end was so touching
It warmed my heart seeing Julieta and Pepa running to hug Bruno. No matter what happened in the past, it's clear both of them really missed their brother. ✨
@@puffboifedora6831 I don't think hate would be the right term. Pepa more likely just held a grudge deep inside, and she probably was only able to voice out that grudge after Bruno "ran away”.
@@puffboifedora6831 she didn’t hate him, she just got annoyed by the wedding incident. She’s a bit of a perfectionist like her mom but she ran & hugged him first
I love how he shows her a prophecy, and she growls and he's just got that resigned "Every time..." Because everytime, someone gets upset at him for giving them exactly what they asked!
@@Kikiricki11 no i ment before when people saw bruno as a monster and thought he was telling them bad things on pourpose so if he had this vision people wouldv took it more lightly
@@sammyjaohnson5631 What? He just told them what he saw and they interpreted it as him being the one to speak it into existence. How could he be more verbal than „I am TELLING what is going to happen. I am not making it happen“. Edit: They chose to believe that Bruno is at fault because what he saw happens. So when something negative happens they choose to blame him because that is easier than blaming themselves for being noisy.
Is no one gonna talk about how he made it very clear he was terrified of Abuela Alma, and he STILL showed up at the river to defend Mirabel because he thought Abuela Alma was yelling at her for destroying the house?
Bruno is the most selfless of the Madrigals. He separated himself from his family and tarnished his own reputation in their heads to protect Mirabel. He thinks he's bad luck because of how the family antagonizes him; because he would sooner hold contempt for himself than hold his family accountable. He sealed a bunch of the cracks himself in a desperate attempt to preserve a life he could never truly be a part of . . . . for them. When he thought Abuela would blame Mirabel for the house collapsing his first thought was to take all the blame for her. When he met his family again his first thought was to apologize for everything, even for things that weren't really his fault. He's selfless to a point where it's very damaging, but it's also very endearing.
Couldn't agree more! This man really needs some love, gratitude, and validation. He tried his best with everything they need to cut him some slack hope he will be treated better from here on
Bruno- “I don’t care what you think of me! But if you’re too stubborn to [I’ll finish his sentence from here]: see Mirabel’s love for this family then you got another thing coming”
That's not really that unusual from a psychological standpoint. Some people, people with a lot of empathy for others, also have very low opinions of themselves. Hurt them, they'll just hide it inside because they feel they somehow deserve it... but hurt someone or something that they care deeply about, and they'll move mountains to protect what they hold dear. That's Bruno to a T.
Bruno commenting on his sister sweating at her wedding as "it looks like rain" is SUCH a brother thing 🤣 no wonder she took it as a threat (we dont talk about Bruno) 😅
that's how i saw it! Pepe says he had a 'michievious grin' when he said it looked like rain, and it really seems like he was teasing her lol my brother would do the same sort of thing
Lol I just realized the FIRST line we get from him directly AND indirectly is basically “you’re very sweaty” Pepa: *is nervous* Bruno: Looks like rain, huh? 👉👉 Pepa: *panics herself a hurricane* Bruno: oh no what have I done Maribel: HELP! Bruno: You’re very sweaty. Maribel: *drops him* Bruno: AAH gdi I did it AGAIN
Such a great character. I love stories that don't have an obvious villain but instead use a social problem or a misunderstood character to serve as the tension. It's a lot more realistic in many ways.
He was afraid of abuela seeing him, but the moment he saw abuela talking to Mirabel he went to defend her and say he was the one who gave her the prophecy. Bruno really loves his nieces and nephews 😭
The man was ready to throw down with his Mama, the line "And if you're too stubborn to-" is very telling. You don't throw people's flaws in their faces as an insult unless you're ready for war. He wasn't just there to defend Mirabel and take the fall, he was ready to challenge the Matriarch's values, beliefs and morals. Basically round 2 of the Mirabel and Abuela fight, but with Bruno instead. I was so proud of him in that scene, and kinda sad he got cut off.
Camilo singing “Seven foot frame” when Bruno turned out to be the shortest of the triplets kills me every time I think about it 🤣 Precious cinnamon roll Bruno 🥺
@@TAROTICE no, he was 5. he left the family 10 years ago edit: forgot to mention that both mirabel and camilo are 15 cause the gifts were given when the person of question turns 5
Honestly I love this subversion of him so much, for awhile I had assumed he would've been the villain especially after hearing the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" song, only for him to been shown as this super caring and kinda socially awkward dweeb and I just feel in love. Both because he's genuinely adorable and hilarious and because I felt so incredibly bad for him. Like everyone treated him like shit just because he could see the future like he was CAUSING what was happening to people. Hell despite the family straight up villainizing him he still loves them enough that he draws his own dinner setting next to the dining room. Bruno is the best character in this movie hands down.
@@amanix10 ua-cam.com/video/YDNw3Ajjpr8/v-deo.html It's not an official one, but it's really good all the same. Just imagine Bruno singing it instead of the girl
“I’m Jorge, I make the spackle.” That freakin' killed me! It was funny enough when he was Hernando, but then it cuts to him with a bucket on his head . . . that was just brilliant!
The fact that Bruno, Julieta and Peppa are triplets. Imagine Peppa and Julieta’s birthday and Bruno just watching from that little gap. Breaks your heart into tinier pieces doesn't it?
Not even the gap that gets me its the lil table setting that just crushes me 'cause imagine how many meals he sat there just to feel close omce again~ 😭
The way Bruno tried to defend Mirabel from Abuella and how he said: "I don't care what you think of me!" God, John Leguizamo NAILED this character! He's extremely sympathetic and relatable! Hopefully, in the sequel (if it happens) maybe Bruno will find himself a lover like his twin sisters did.
One of the main things I love about Bruno? He NEVER stopped looking out for Maribel. He literally left the family to protect her, not wanting his final vision to ruin how everyone saw her. He even rode in on a horse, prepared to tell Abuela off for blaming Maribel for what happened to the house. That is HUGE for Bruno's character. He was used to keeping quiet and letting people think the worst about him; but he was prepared to stand up to Abuela once and for all --- all so he could protect Maribel from possibly going through what HE was going through. He really IS a great uncle!
I thought the same thing. I love how much he cared for her and loved her, even though it seemed like they didn’t interact much before he had the vision.
It gets even more wholesome when we think about how Mirabel was also doing the same for Antonio. She reassured him that he won't be any less if he didn't get a gift and that she'd always be happy for him no matter what, most likely because she doesn't want him to feel like how she does. It's interesting to see the differences in how they deal with generational trauma, compared with how Abuela dealt with it
I like the details of him knocking on wood, and throwing salt over his shoulder. Ways of preventing bad luck. As well as avoiding the cracks in the floors.
Not to be mean, but I will say this: he could've lied about what he actually saw. Not to say that it wasn't sweet he was protective of his youngest niece, but no one else knew what he saw so he could've just lied about what the vision was.
@@Elmithian True. I'm just saying it couldn't hurt. It would hurt him, but he was willing to abandon his family, so he was probably going to hurt anyway
@@sarah98917 He could have tried, but I agree with the other that he probably has a hard time lying. But also his mother most likely would have constantly begged/demanded him to check future or to know what he saw. I doubt at the time she was gonna let it slide that 'everything was fine'. Maybe she would have even insisted on being present for a session to see for herself if everything was truly 'fine.'
People depict this guy as a villain and discriminated poor Bruno, but seeing him... He's actually much cuter than he seems and he's one of the sweetest people I've ever seen on Disney.
I love how all the character quirks make sense. Bruno often sees bad things in his visions, so he relies on superstitions to give him a greater sense of control over the situation. Edit: I mean quirks as in strange personality traits. I didn't even think of MHA while typing this, so y'all can stop bringing it up and fighting over it in the replies.
@@gyabbyrose746 fat cat means quirks as in his odd little superstitious behaviors ie knocking on wood, avoiding cracks, throwing salt over his shoulder. bnha didn't invent the word lmao
Holy shit really? That's amazing lol, I had no idea! Wow, that's so weird, I remember when Ice Age was new and watching it with my aunt back when I was like five or so.
2:43 the little hopeful eyebrow raise he does when abuela passes him only for his face to fall when she ignores him breaks my heart. i just want to hug him forever.
And all because he's watching his neice go through similar stuff he and his siblings went through. He raises his voice for a moment to snap her out of being angry because he's scared for her to lose her siblings the way he feels he lost his. He's a wonderful uncle
Yeah, it's sad how "sorry" has basically become a verbal tic for him, he says it so often that it's now something he more or less says out of habit and because he's developed a sort of guilt complex. Sadly that is not uncommon in victims of abuse or even bullying. Victims of abuse/bullying develop a habit of apologizing a lot because they hope to appease the other person and/or because they genuinely feel guilty for even the slightest "offenses". I also have a habit of apologizing too much, to the point where people will point it out and tell me not to apologize. It's a hard habit to break though, sometimes it just slips out without me even really thinking. And I do feel genuinely bad anytime I say or do something that I perceive as being wrong or rude. The only exception to this rule is when I'm really angry, but even then I feel bad afterwards about the things I said.
@@RainbowEssence-c3w I do that too, though I've never been bullied in my life. I remember my stepmother telling me one time that I should stop saying sorry so much and I proceeded to immediately illustrate that I was a lost cause. Went something like this: "Yeah... Sorry. [idiot pause] _Sorry_ . SORRY! [hand over mouth]" lol.
Another Bruno moment I love is when he’s trying to save his rats and uses the bucket to protect his head. It both cracks me up and love him more, he’s a rat dad.
Also there is a little bit in the song 'we don't talk about Bruno' when Mirabelle is with her female cousin you can see Bruno just giving on the top balcony
Y'know considering he probably left when most of his sister's kids were either A.) Not born or B.) Extremely young, him "playing as different characters" seems like something an uncle would do to cheer up/play with their nieces and nephews. Like a parent doing a funny voice to cheer you up. It was probably a stuck behavior for Bruno, as he left when most of his sisters' kids were, at the time, little or hadn't been born yet.
The reason Bruno was so frowned upon is because he was the bearer of bad news, in reality he was just an honest person who didn’t do the whole “vague oracle” thing. He would tell people straight up what would happen. He could probably to the prophetic mystical secret thing where he tells people just enough to make it clear he knew what’s going to happen before it happens but not tell them exactly what’s going to happen.
It's like when people get mad at the doctor when they get bad news. The doctor didn't give you the illness. But people want somebody to blame for their misfortune. It's easier to say "Bruno made me fat" rather than "I overeat and don't work out so that's why I'm fat."
@@HollowBagel and if the vision mirabel made him have later was anything to go by, it mightve not necessarily been unclear; Bruno just didn't see everything
@@TheKitbaby it was Camilo not Bruno, Bruno’s eyes only glow when he’s having a vision and when he’s on the balcony his eyes are glowing. And during Camilos verse how eyes are always glowing as Bruno
It's why I love delores part so much. She puts emphasis on his side of the burden, equating the whole problem to a disconnect between the two factions.
I love how Bruno's nephew Camilo is so much like him, and not just looking like him. Bruno says he jokes his real gift is acting and he has multiple characters. And his nephew Camilo ends up literally being able to shapeshift into other people and he impersonates their body language and voices, which is what actors do.
The “knock on the wood” jingle never ceases to make me smile. Also it’s stuck in my head. He’s one of my favorites from this movie. (Edit: To those of you who think it's a stim, it's actually a cultural thing! But, you can go ahead with your headcanons)
@@wolfganggrimmerdoesnotdese6822 Where I'm from we always knock the wood after we mention something bad. We knock the wood to hope that it doesn't happen in real life.

Bruno is like the anti-twist villain. Instead of a nice guy turning out to be evil, it's a vilified guy who turned out to be a total sweetheart.
Twist hero?
His "villain song" is also a subversion. "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is about the true antagonist of the story being family dysfunction.

It’s a shame he felt he had to leave when Mirabel was 5. He definitely has favorite uncle vibes. Could have been a fun childhood and good solace for the both of them.
Yh at least he will be tbere for antonio

In the story after he goes home he dives off the deep end so most likly his troubles didn't end there

-and when brono runs out throw the wall you can hear don quixote theme song from the movie

I feel like I should protect this man at all costs. He is so precious.

I want to as well
Agree :(((((
I kinda thought he'd be the villain of this movie... But boy was I WRONG!
I love him so much!
I guess by now Bruno has a fan army (I am joining btw).
The man stopped seeing his family just to protect his niece.
If that doesn’t make him the best uncle I don’t know what will.

and then theres "your very sweaty"
3:01
I just want everybody to take a moment to appreciate this scene. Bruno's change in his voice really impressed me when I first watched the movie, because he was literally so determined to protect his niece, that she was ready to even argue with Abuela. Because of his character that's impressive, because in case you didn't know, in the deleted scenes, he actually does have a fight with Abuela, saying that he wishes he was dead, but the creators said Bruno's character wouldn't have the courage to fight with Abuela, that's why they deleted the scene. He was not ready to face Abuela, because of how scared he was of her. Even Mirabel mentioned it "You're scared Abuela will see you, right?". So for him to make such a big step JUST to protect his niece is one of the most wholesome things I saw in the movie.
Bruno deserves "The World's Greatest Uncle" award in this scene alone.
Do you know where can i find the deleted parts?
We don’t have to appreciate anything, sthu

Just like his dad did
@@McNaBir Some people talk about "sigma," well we all know this is 10x more important.
He’s just so sweet
Mhm
To me, the first thing that stood out when I first saw Bruno were his eyes.He is disheveled like a homeless person, but his eyes are so kind, youthful and innocent.And I really loved that they went with this detail, because they say the eyes are "the windows to the soul" and it fits Bruno perfectly
Also another neat detail:notice how at first, Bruno's room is aligned with his sisters rooms, but as he distances himself from the family, his room became isolated too.
I just realized that Dolores associates the sound of falling sand to him in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is because he whips sugar and salt around everywhere
he also has to pour sand on the ground to create a vision though, + his tower has lots of sand in it
@@arttrixmix7178 he hasn't used his ability since Mirabel was 5, also when she described the sound it's chhh...chhh and not a constant down pour of sound.
Sands of time 😎
It can mean either way, considering Dolores is six years older than Mirabel. Shed have been 11 during the gift giving for Mirabel. Could also mean stories shes heard, or the current sounds of salt (since she still hears him muttering).
Its be cute if there was a scene of someone asking to pass the salt and the salt shaker was empty tbh.
You're right!!! I love that!!!!

AAAAAHHHH that’s sso ssad
I just realized-
When Pep talk about her mariage, Bruno is seen with his poncho/ruana covering his head with a "mischeavous grin", but in reality it was just Bruno, interpreting 'Hernando', trying to act bolder than he was feeling because he knew people didn't like him and maybe if he was 'someone else' he could get through it without ending with disaster....

How quick he was to apologize to Mirabel for yelling, and in general how gentle he is with her 🥺
Ik she’s his fav ✨
to be fair, all the men in the Madrigal family are gentle with her, it's almost like they think because she doesn't have a gift, she's delicate
That's how Abuela gets her attention when she's angry with her, and I'm sure Bruno is familiar with the experience
@@SNDodds or it's just not normal for adults to yell at children and treat them rudely for no reason? Maybe they love her and want to be kind to her?? I don't see her being treated more nicely than anyone else, in fact somewhat the opposite
@@handfulmousefly With the exception of Abuela, and to some extent, Isabela, most of the other family members are always kind to Mirabel. Her aunt Pepa gets a bit grumpy at her sometimes, but it's just Pepa being Pepa. Other than that, they all seem to cherish her a lot.
I love how Bruno's reunion with Abuela clearly didn't go as planned, leaving him saying, "Did I miss something?"
the way he was fully expecting her to be disappointed to see him like the only reason he was doing it was to protect mirabel, and he genuinely couldn't understand why she was happy he was back. it makes me feel sad like he genuinely thought so little of himself

It made me tear up seeing the acceptance he clearly wasn't expecting.
Burrito
I read that as "burrito" lmao
I thought she called him "Burrito" and I got really confused
The only thing I didn't like about that scene was that she didn't apologize.
Bruno is such a breath of fresh air, they could've easily made him another villian but they made him one of the most kind hearted and selfless characters in the film. Like this man hid away for 10 years not because his family and the town mistreated him, but because he knew if they saw the vision of Mirabel they would've treated her the same way they treated him, and even despite despite that he stays in the walls of the house because he still loves them. If that doesn't show how much he adores his family then I don't know what will
I love the moment at 2:09 when he raises his voice, he immediately apologises and quiets down when he sees Mirabel flinch. It shows his understanding and love for his niece, and it makes you wonder if he saw himself when she flinched
He's basically a reverse twist villain, instead of being a seemily nice guy who turns out to be evil without any build up, he's someone who's seen as a villian but in reality he's a complete cinnamon bun and there's just enough hints to have this reveal be believable
He‘s so pure, innocent and worrying / thinking about everybody around him, especially all of his family, which makes him so so precious. Every time he appeared it was so interesting, hope we will see him again with more stories!
How does this have one thousand likes but not a single comment? Wtf
Because they said what we were thinking
I think this video should be retitled to "bruno being best boy"
He's also 50
And then there's Camilo describing Bruno like satan
Hes not a twist villain he's a twist hero. I'm here for it
I completely agree lmao
Yaaaa
Especially with all of the green!! Disney has a history of making their villains have neon green powers.
Like in moana?
If anything Abuella is the twist villain. (Though not on purpose, she just puts too much trust on, "If you do good things, then nothing bad can happen to you")
If that pit was actually deep, Bruno’s last words would’ve been “You’re very sweaty”
Oh my gosh, you're right! And they were the first words he had spoken to a person in, like, 10 years. 😮
@dolores madrigal XD “I’m hernando and I’m scared of nothing”

Ehh, not the worst potential last words I’ve heard.
“I’M THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!!”
That little "bye" is the cutest thing this planet has to offer
He is such a sweet person. The fact that he felt responsible for his family's future, he gave up his life, even though he knew that his family will bring him up as a bad memory. That shows how pure and caring he is.

I always have lumps on my throat when I remember that scene where he's trying to join their family dinner secretly behind those walls. He's so precious.
Same I keep thinking about it my heart broke for him when I saw that
I literally cried when i saw this
I bawled :(
Nah i straight up cry
That was literally so sad. Hun looking behind the walls with a painted plate and fork on the table
I love that the only time he raises his voice at someone it's because he's so terrified Mirabel might cause a rift with her sisters through misunderstanding just like he did. And he knows she loves her sister even if they're at odds. He doesn't keep shouting (he probably knows Dolores doesn't need that anyway) but after 10 years in hiding trying to fix the cracks in la casita he knew he had to be a bit more forceful pulling her away from getting into a bigger fight with Isabela. Just such a wonderful uncle
Something I love about his character is that he’s so afraid of his own prophecies that’s resulted in him being superstitious- whence knocking on all the walls and throwing salt over his shoulder to ward away bad luck- I think that’s amazing character development
Idk if you believe in stuff like this.. but I have visions but obviously not like Bruno. It's hard to tell what is going to happen and what was just a false alarm and it made me paranoid and my OCD and anxiety horribly worse.

This poor man. He doesn’t make the future, he just sees it. He’s so sweet and gentle. The way he says sorry to Mirabel when he raises his voice. His little social quirks because he’s lived in the walls for so long, but never left his family. 😭😭 Disney did so great when writing his character.
Right. The fact that no one ever consoled him and thought about the burden he carried, always seeing the future and seeing something bad happen. I don't think people see the severity of the situation simply because the family made amends with him, but he felt forced too isolate himself within the walls, for OVER A DECADE. The birthdays he missed, the conversations, the family dinners. All because people couldn't grasp the fact that he's not MAKING things happen, he's just seeing them. And after he was gone no one even felt bad, they continued to treat him like a disease. It's just terrible, and he's owed a huge apology.
@@noelle2654 they probably could grasp it, they were just too afraid of not being the perfect family and the town wasn’t the perfect town, so having an imperfect person in an otherwise perfect town would be easier for everyone else

He was at first shy for a family reunion

@@finnheisenheim8274 well keep in mind she hasn’t seen him in so long. And Abuela even made it sound like he left the family on his own Will making him out to be the bad guy. I don’t think Pepa really thought he was a bad guy but it’s easier to assume and say someone is bad if you never see them and weren’t expecting to. Like Bruno said, it’s easy to blame him for things going wrong. Seeing him in front of her, Pepa probably realized how petty she was being about her wedding. He is family and I’m sure both sisters missed their brother in the end
"... I feel like I missed something important."
😆 Bruno is so cute. I love socially awkward characters, mainly because I can relate to them.
That line gives me Olaf vibes and I cannot figure out why
bruno uniting with his sisters while looking scared that they’re gonna hate him, then they run up to him and comfort him is the fucking sweetest thing and makes me sob every time. this movie is fucking beautiful

Bruno is the most selfless of the Madrigals. He separated himself from his family and tarnished his own reputation in their heads to protect Mirabel. He thinks he's bad luck because of how the family antagonizes him; because he would sooner hold contempt for himself than hold his family accountable. He sealed a bunch of the cracks himself in a desperate attempt to preserve a life he could never truly be a part of . . . . for them. When he thought Abuela would blame Mirabel for the house collapsing his first thought was to take all the blame for her. When he met his family again his first thought was to apologize for everything, even for things that weren't really his fault.
He's selfless to a point where it's very damaging, but it's also very endearing.
Couldn't agree more! This man really needs some love, gratitude, and validation. He tried his best with everything they need to cut him some slack
hope he will be treated better from here on
Bruno- “I don’t care what you think of me! But if you’re too stubborn to [I’ll finish his sentence from here]: see Mirabel’s love for this family then you got another thing coming”
Bruno is a Jinx.
Woulda given that man's that tightest hug ever if I could
That's not really that unusual from a psychological standpoint. Some people, people with a lot of empathy for others, also have very low opinions of themselves. Hurt them, they'll just hide it inside because they feel they somehow deserve it... but hurt someone or something that they care deeply about, and they'll move mountains to protect what they hold dear. That's Bruno to a T.
Bruno commenting on his sister sweating at her wedding as "it looks like rain" is SUCH a brother thing 🤣 no wonder she took it as a threat (we dont talk about Bruno) 😅
that's how i saw it! Pepe says he had a 'michievious grin' when he said it looked like rain, and it really seems like he was teasing her lol my brother would do the same sort of thing

He wasn't just there to defend Mirabel and take the fall, he was ready to challenge the Matriarch's values, beliefs and morals. Basically round 2 of the Mirabel and Abuela fight, but with Bruno instead. I was so proud of him in that scene, and kinda sad he got cut off.
Camilo singing “Seven foot frame” when Bruno turned out to be the shortest of the triplets kills me every time I think about it 🤣
Precious cinnamon roll Bruno 🥺
He was 10 when he saw his Uncle last, he probably looked tall then
@@TAROTICE no, he was 5. he left the family 10 years ago
edit: forgot to mention that both mirabel and camilo are 15 cause the gifts were given when the person of question turns 5
What we don't know is that everyone in the Madrigal family is supernaturally tall and both his sisters are 8 feet
@@TAROTICE I didn’t even think about that! He probably thought he was seven feet bc Camilo was like 3 feet 😭
can you not call him a “pwecious lwittle cwinnamwon rwoll 🥺🥺🥺” he’s literally a 50 yr old man... :D
Honestly I love this subversion of him so much, for awhile I had assumed he would've been the villain especially after hearing the "We Don't Talk About Bruno" song, only for him to been shown as this super caring and kinda socially awkward dweeb and I just feel in love. Both because he's genuinely adorable and hilarious and because I felt so incredibly bad for him. Like everyone treated him like shit just because he could see the future like he was CAUSING what was happening to people. Hell despite the family straight up villainizing him he still loves them enough that he draws his own dinner setting next to the dining room. Bruno is the best character in this movie hands down.
It's an absolute CRIME that we didn't get to see more of Bruno singing. Imagine if he had his own musical number!
That would be great.
Omg a Bruno song would be incredible! Maybe something about the time he spent hiding, his loneliness, and how his family treated him.

The fact that Bruno, Julieta and Peppa are triplets. Imagine Peppa and Julieta’s birthday and Bruno just watching from that little gap.
Breaks your heart into tinier pieces doesn't it?
imagine him singing happy birthday with his rats...
@@acherthecat8316 I'm sad for him but wanna laugh at the same time 😵
AND FOR 10 YEARS
Not even the gap that gets me its the lil table setting that just crushes me 'cause imagine how many meals he sat there just to feel close omce again~ 😭
Ah frick, now i feel even worse for him!
The way Bruno tried to defend Mirabel from Abuella and how he said: "I don't care what you think of me!"
God, John Leguizamo NAILED this character! He's extremely sympathetic and relatable! Hopefully, in the sequel (if it happens) maybe Bruno will find himself a lover like his twin sisters did.
Or he could be happy single.
@@TrelliessRose Yeah that too.
I love how they were building Bruno up to be this crazy scary guy to reveal he’s voiced by John Leguizamo...
SAME I heard his first line and instantly relaxed I was like "this guy is not going to hurt a fly"
Its Sid the sloth
@@hannahhenderson1113 I grew up on his comedy so I know him from that. His voice signals familiarity to me haha
I thought Sid was reincarnated?
THATS WHY IVE HAD SID THE FUCKING SLOTH ON MY BRAIN SINCE WATCHING ENCANTO!!
And than you realize, Dolores is hearing all of this lmao
HITS DIFFERENT DOESNT IT
She must like: what the heck?
She must of been terrified hearing Mirabel calling for help as she nearly fell to her "death".
@@therealopaartist jeez! imagine how TRAUMATIZING that must of been!
Yep! Well until the moment she loses her power
One of the main things I love about Bruno? He NEVER stopped looking out for Maribel. He literally left the family to protect her, not wanting his final vision to ruin how everyone saw her. He even rode in on a horse, prepared to tell Abuela off for blaming Maribel for what happened to the house. That is HUGE for Bruno's character. He was used to keeping quiet and letting people think the worst about him; but he was prepared to stand up to Abuela once and for all --- all so he could protect Maribel from possibly going through what HE was going through. He really IS a great uncle!
I thought the same thing. I love how much he cared for her and loved her, even though it seemed like they didn’t interact much before he had the vision.
That moment was so brave for him. My favorite is when he says, “I don’t care what you think of me!”
It gets even more wholesome when we think about how Mirabel was also doing the same for Antonio. She reassured him that he won't be any less if he didn't get a gift and that she'd always be happy for him no matter what, most likely because she doesn't want him to feel like how she does. It's interesting to see the differences in how they deal with generational trauma, compared with how Abuela dealt with it
@@razertheredlantern6203 Same.
I agree with you. But her name is Mirabel lol not Maribel. For some reason, this simple spelling error confused the fuck out of me.
I like the details of him knocking on wood, and throwing salt over his shoulder. Ways of preventing bad luck. As well as avoiding the cracks in the floors.
He ostracized himself for 10 years the sake of mirabel, he's an angel.
Not to be mean, but I will say this: he could've lied about what he actually saw. Not to say that it wasn't sweet he was protective of his youngest niece, but no one else knew what he saw so he could've just lied about what the vision was.
@@sarah98917 He is likely too honest or too easy to read to be able to lie convincingly
@@Elmithian True. I'm just saying it couldn't hurt. It would hurt him, but he was willing to abandon his family, so he was probably going to hurt anyway
@@sarah98917 He could have tried, but I agree with the other that he probably has a hard time lying. But also his mother most likely would have constantly begged/demanded him to check future or to know what he saw. I doubt at the time she was gonna let it slide that 'everything was fine'. Maybe she would have even insisted on being present for a session to see for herself if everything was truly 'fine.'
He loved his niece and wanted Mirabel to have a good life as he understood what it was like to be a misfit in their family.
I feel like Bruno reminded me a lot of Hector in Coco. Everyone hated them and when they reunite, people are surprised and loving.
Yeah! I felt the same
THAT’S WHO I WAS THINKING OF WHEN I FIRST SAW BRUNO
If there was a crossover, which in my opinion would work very well, Bruno and Hector would be besties for sure.
Honestly I first saw Hector as a conman comic relief character.
YES THIS IS THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF
Everyone: slandering Bruno and describing him as this evil person
Reality: Most wholesome person ever
he's the sweetest boi
I love him so much I wish I had an uncle like him
Bruno is the best character in Encanto. Every character that hated and mistrusted Bruno, screw them.
Makes you rethink your perspective on some people huh?
@@SuperLuigi97 exactly, and they never properly apologized to him
People depict this guy as a villain and discriminated poor Bruno, but seeing him... He's actually much cuter than he seems and he's one of the sweetest people I've ever seen on Disney.
Agreed.
why do people depict him as a villian 😭😭😭
@@lanaros3-jn9xx frr
@@lanaros3-jn9xx Because of his ability to see in the future, they all saw him as an enemy. Or worse, a curse.
I love how all the character quirks make sense. Bruno often sees bad things in his visions, so he relies on superstitions to give him a greater sense of control over the situation.
Edit: I mean quirks as in strange personality traits. I didn't even think of MHA while typing this, so y'all can stop bringing it up and fighting over it in the replies.
Quirks?

The fact that he's the same voice actor as Sid from the Ice Age makes it all piece together.
Ikr
Holy shit really? That's amazing lol, I had no idea! Wow, that's so weird, I remember when Ice Age was new and watching it with my aunt back when I was like five or so.
He is? Wow, thanks for the info.
That's the first thing I noticed about him when watching this movie lol
I was like, "Why his voice sound familiar? It kinda sounds like... oh wait"
John Leguizamo, one of the most prolific Latino actors in Hollywood. ❤️
2:43 the little hopeful eyebrow raise he does when abuela passes him only for his face to fall when she ignores him breaks my heart. i just want to hug him forever.
FUCKING THIS
he even apologized for ACCIDENTALLY raising his voice when he said “MIRABEL”
And all because he's watching his neice go through similar stuff he and his siblings went through. He raises his voice for a moment to snap her out of being angry because he's scared for her to lose her siblings the way he feels he lost his. He's a wonderful uncle
@@austinwitham109 For real
Yeah, it's sad how "sorry" has basically become a verbal tic for him, he says it so often that it's now something he more or less says out of habit and because he's developed a sort of guilt complex. Sadly that is not uncommon in victims of abuse or even bullying. Victims of abuse/bullying develop a habit of apologizing a lot because they hope to appease the other person and/or because they genuinely feel guilty for even the slightest "offenses". I also have a habit of apologizing too much, to the point where people will point it out and tell me not to apologize. It's a hard habit to break though, sometimes it just slips out without me even really thinking. And I do feel genuinely bad anytime I say or do something that I perceive as being wrong or rude. The only exception to this rule is when I'm really angry, but even then I feel bad afterwards about the things I said.
Camilo: Bruno is evil!
Bruno:
@@RainbowEssence-c3w I do that too, though I've never been bullied in my life. I remember my stepmother telling me one time that I should stop saying sorry so much and I proceeded to immediately illustrate that I was a lost cause. Went something like this:
"Yeah... Sorry. [idiot pause] _Sorry_ . SORRY! [hand over mouth]" lol.
0:32 - "I'm Jorge. I make the spackle."
I'm dead.
Jorge
My favorite line from him
@@_fantasyobsessedgorl_2844 Jorge reminds me that bucket from fnaf
Lol
This is why Bruno is the best
Another Bruno moment I love is when he’s trying to save his rats and uses the bucket to protect his head. It both cracks me up and love him more, he’s a rat dad.
Dude saves the rats and then smashes through a wall using bucket at full tilt was fricking hilarious
✨rat daddy bruno✨
@RubiRealm no. It was Jorge. He who makes the spackle
Also there is a little bit in the song 'we don't talk about Bruno' when Mirabelle is with her female cousin you can see Bruno just giving on the top balcony
@@cabin_7_apollo stooooooop
I still can't believe his very first line is "you're very sweaty!" That's when I knew he was going to be adorable
Bruno is honestly the most sympathetic character in the movie.
I might have to agree with you
Y'know considering he probably left when most of his sister's kids were either A.) Not born or B.) Extremely young, him "playing as different characters" seems like something an uncle would do to cheer up/play with their nieces and nephews. Like a parent doing a funny voice to cheer you up. It was probably a stuck behavior for Bruno, as he left when most of his sisters' kids were, at the time, little or hadn't been born yet.
The reason Bruno was so frowned upon is because he was the bearer of bad news, in reality he was just an honest person who didn’t do the whole “vague oracle” thing. He would tell people straight up what would happen. He could probably to the prophetic mystical secret thing where he tells people just enough to make it clear he knew what’s going to happen before it happens but not tell them exactly what’s going to happen.
Well he does not know what exactly what’s going on,
@@joshuaded1052 He said he only didn't know what was going to happen with Mirabel. A vision being unclear or undecided was new to him.
It's like when people get mad at the doctor when they get bad news. The doctor didn't give you the illness. But people want somebody to blame for their misfortune. It's easier to say "Bruno made me fat" rather than "I overeat and don't work out so that's why I'm fat."
It's a "don't kill the messenger" sort of thing
@@HollowBagel and if the vision mirabel made him have later was anything to go by, it mightve not necessarily been unclear; Bruno just didn't see everything
Man, I love the “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” song, but he doesn’t deserve that! He’s so adorable and sweet and kind and I love him so much!
he makes an apperance during the song up on the belcony.
@@TheKitbaby ya but it looked like he was straight vib'in to his family's dis track
@@TheKitbaby I think that was actually Camilo disguised as Bruno, since his part comes right after Dolores'.
@@TheKitbaby it was Camilo not Bruno, Bruno’s eyes only glow when he’s having a vision and when he’s on the balcony his eyes are glowing. And during Camilos verse how eyes are always glowing as Bruno
It's why I love delores part so much. She puts emphasis on his side of the burden, equating the whole problem to a disconnect between the two factions.

@@Am3lia77 yes. There's a lot to say about Bruno.
I love how Bruno's nephew Camilo is so much like him, and not just looking like him. Bruno says he jokes his real gift is acting and he has multiple characters. And his nephew Camilo ends up literally being able to shapeshift into other people and he impersonates their body language and voices, which is what actors do.
Holy shit how did you catch that!!! WOW
