I dont think that that’s what Abuela was saying, “this family” could still be used when talking about your own family. It’s just referring to whichever family is present
I can't say how many times in my life I felt the exact words Mirabel said, "I will never be good enough for you." I've told that to my mom too, but I've given up talking now. In real life, Abuela Alma would continue doing what she's used to already. Eventually, self acceptance becomes more important than family acceptance
As the sister in my family who always finds myself carrying the family's burdens, this made me tear up. Because, it's like Lin-Manuel saying to his sister, "I see you. Your efforts don't go unnoticed." And I really appreciate that.
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! 🇨🇴
Mirabel and Antonio have one of the sweetest and healthiest relationships in all of Disney canon. I love the two interacting. And anyone who does not at least tear up near the end, when Pedro sacrifices himself, and we see that absolute and utter grief on Abuela Alma's face, does not have a soul.
I love their relationship too. The fact she knew where he's hidding show how much she knows him. About Pedro's sacrifice we can feel Abuela's pain in contrast,with the begining when she speaks to young Mirabel
Mirabel didn't receive a gift because she is the gift. The door disappeared because the house is her "room," hence the doorknob at the end with the M on it (it could have stood for Madrigal though), and i believe she's different from her family because she's next in line as the next Matriarch of the family after her grandmother who also doesnt have a special gift but both share a bond with the house, This is just my thoughts on it though
okay but hearing in the beginning that in Russia you call hair bows/bowties Butterflies was awesome considering how important the butterfly symbolism was in this movie.
One thing I noticed that when Mirabel went to get her gift, the candle lit up when she touched it, but Abuela's disappointment and shock made it flicker, because it didn't flicker right away. Just the tiny details like that make it amazing. And of course she blames Mirabel for it.
Thanks for pointing that out :D I was wondering why the flame will flicker if the fact that Mirabel didn’t got a gift is a good thing, it makes sense now !
Casita means "little house", it's the endearing way of reffering to a house (or meaning the house is actually small, which doesn't apply here lol), as a Colombian I'm really happy you reacted to this movie, the first one I know of that doesn't reffer to our country jsut based on it's bad things :3
Also I'm pretty sure no matter way you look at it it hints the house is a female. (I mainly think this because in Spanish, if you say ito it is a masculine version, ita is the feminine version) it could be me over thinking things but from when I did spanish 1 and 2 in school they explain it for basically everything
I don’t think that them call the house, casita, means that the house is female. The reason for this is that casita comes from the word casa which does not have a male form. There are just some words that don’t have another gender related spelling to it.
I love how transparent you were about your emotions, and I also loved your comments! "She wasn't herself," "emotional rollercoaster," "I love her parents," "She's so strong,"- all of your comments were so insightful and so sweet! They almost reflected exactly what I thought when I first watched this movie, and I am so glad that I found someone who also has the same thoughts as me. The music is awesome, and I agree that it makes you want to dance (except for the sad ones, of course lol). Thank you for the awesome video!!
Everyone keeps talking about "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and other songs...but really "Waiting On A Miracle" is my personal favorite. I've got a thing for waltzes.
That song really doesn't get enough credit for sure. I think "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is the most technically impressive, and "Surface Pressure" the most emotionally relatable for many people including myself, but "Waiting On A Miracle" I think is amazing as a stand alone piece.
I believe her gift is to be the abuela's successor. Abuela doesn't seem to have a gift, but Casita only seems to take orders from her and Mirabel. She will carry the legacy.
The -ito (masculine) -ita (feminine) suffixes in Spanish means something or someone is small or familiar or adored. When grandma called Bruno Brunito, the -ito suffix immediately let you know she still loves him. This movie is about intergenerational trauma. Grandma was traumatized by losing her home and husband shortly after her children were born, and this caused her to place too much pressure on her children and grandchildren. Worse, she started to value the powers more than the people. Mirabelle had to be the one to fix things. Because she didn't have a power of her own, she valued the people more than what they could do with their powers. And that's the central message of the story. You heal intergenerational trauma by valuing people more than what they can do. Mirabelle doesn't have a gift and still has value. That is central to the story, and it's why she doesn't have a "secret power" or a metaphorical power. Either of those things undermines the message of the story.
So lovely to see your reaction! There are lots of Spanish words mixed in with the English. Abuela (grandmother), Abuelo (grandfather), tío and tía (uncle and aunt). Casita means “little house”, which is an affectionate term. You also get to see South American animals like tapirs and capybaras ♥️
Mirabell also did all the design and embroidery on her outfit and If I remember she's got something g that represents every gift of her family on her dress
Spot on moment early on there. It's such a great defining moment for Mirabel that even though she's going through a lot of emotions on Antonio's night, even though the last gift ceremony was her own traumatic one, even though she's constantly feeling a pressure to stay out of the limelight by her family and even though all of this makes her hesitant to step up, she puts all of that aside after Antonio says "I need you". That right there is someone who *loves* her family.
My understanding with Isabella is that she can and always could’ve produced all plants, not just flowers. She probably produced several plants when she was very little when her gift was realized, but Abuela forced her to focus on making only “prettier” plants. So she focus only on making flowers for the community and she just forgot about making other plants.
Yeah in the end...it was all the fighting that was tearing the house apart. Not Maribel herself. Mainly Abuela herself. She has her reasons, like preserving Pedro's memory in the form of the candle. But in doing so she made her family not genuine and unhappy. :( Something interesting is Isabella and Mariano both look like young Abuela and Pedro. Maybe Abuela wanted their marriage more than either of them >.>
Absolutely agree that Isabella and Mariano were supposed to be the stand in for Abuella and Abuello. I feel like it was slightly implied that Abuella assumed Isabella might end up taking over as matriarch at some point since it would be uncouth to choose between the triplets and Isabella being the oldest grandchild, spitting image of her grandmother, and likely first to get married and have children. Her whole life was about setting up the dominoes for a life that was already planned out for her.
I had a slightly different take. When Mirabel makes up with her sister the candle grows brighter and the cracks start to fix but it's when she blames her Abuela for everything that's when everything falls apart. It's more complicated and she's trying her best but in the end she tears the house apart. It's just that's the same for both Alma and Mirabel. And I would argue it's not just the memory of Pedro. Trauma is complicated and can overlap. In Alma's mind the first thing that happens was she lost her home and had to leave, which gets tied into watching the love of her life murdered. It's not rational but people who have experienced trauma can end up trapped trying to prevent one bad thing happening again by focusing on something else. She doesn't want her children to experience the pain she went through so she has to keep the house intact. And just like how Mirabel trying to save the miracle destroys it, Alma trying to keep her family from going through her pain causes pain. She's definitely hurt her family but Mirabel has hurt her family as well. The important thing is that they all love each other and are going to work on not just rebuilding their home but improving their relationships with each other.
I'm so glad my Latino culture is hitting hard because of this movie! Thanks so much for sharing your reaction and impressions about this movie. As a Latino, I feel very proud of my culture, and thanks to you, I guess my Russian classmates might like this too! Greetings from a Salvadoran living in the USA!
It's great that even though it's based in Colombian, from Honduras to Ecuador, passing through Costa Rica and Venezuela, many Latin American countries can identify with this film. I have even seen people from The Philippines and other Asian countries say the movie hits them hard.
1. The colorful river that they show us in the movie is a real river, is called Caño Cristales. It is known as the most beautiful river in the world. 2. In Luisa's song, when the second verse begins, Luisa and Mirabel fall into a coffee grinder 3. The plates where Bruno's visions are seen, are emerald. Colombia is the largest exporter of emerald in the world. 4. All the gifts of the family represent something Colombian. Pepa represents the country's varied and rare climate. Camilo the variety of races and ethnic groups of the country. Dolores gossip. Antonio biodiversity. Isabela the flora. Juliet the gastronomy. Luisa the work of the Colombian, could we say (? 5. All the clothes you see in the movie, including hats, are cultural from all over the country. That is why it is disrespectful to us that Disney sells it. 6. Candles represent a lot in our culture, in fact we have a day dedicated to lighting candles. Hence why the candles in the movie. 7.The palma de Cera that is mentioned in Isabela's song, and seen throughout the town, is the national tree of Colombia, and is the largest type of palm in the world. 8. The yellow butterflies represent one of the novels by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Colombian literature Nobel Prize winner. 9. Violence in Colombia is a very big issue, which continues to be experienced to this day. In the grandmother's past we can see Forced Displacement. Colombia is the country with the most internally displaced people in the world.
The creators of _Encanto_ say they were heavily influenced by Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Márquez’s novel _One Hundred Years of Solitude_ which is considered of one of not only Latin America’s best books in literature but in literature period. Butterflies 🦋 also are symbolic in the book symbolizing hope.
Seeing Bruno dancing in the back of Dolores' verse is still funny. I still can't believe I didn't see him downstairs the first few times. Speaking of, I can't believe she held a secret for 10 years Edit: also, everyone singing at the end of We Don't Talk About Bruno is called a Madrigal just like their last name
You just represented me watching it for the very first time. As a Colombian myself, I feel so attached to this movie and I cried my heart out. I loved your reaction, thank you so much for being so kind and sweet!
Yes! She got it! I feel like other reviewers don’t actually feel the emotions of the characters until the end with Abuela Alma. I cried so many times in the movie. Oddly, I’m one of the only ones I’ve seen, heard of, or know about who almost cried at We Don’t Talk About Bruno, though because I’m pretty much the odd one in my family and as soon as Pepa sang “Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin,” I knew he wasn’t bad because I was treated pretty much the same way, except that I was talked about, but mostly to my face or just mean conversations in front of me. I kept almost crying and just remembering my pain, being like, “Why does everyone hate Bruno so much?” because that’s how I felt. Honestly, though, I cried all the times Dasha cried. I’m not Colombian, but I’m Salvadoran, raised in the US, but brought up with both cultures, and from experience, this movie is so relatable on so many levels.
In the Waiting on a Miracle song, the actress who voiced Mirabel was 9 months pregnant when she recorded the song. 48 hours later, she welcomed her own miracle, her daughter
All the lyrics for Encanto’s 8 songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie. The music for Encanto was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer
1:44 In English we call that a “bow” (rhymes with “grow”), short for “bow-knot.” Idk about other languages but I actually just learned last week that it’s called a butterfly or butterfly knot in Japanese too, so maybe it’s a common thing around the world? It really does look like a butterfly 🤩
I did not expect to go into this movie sobbing so damn hard. Disney made the best decision letting Lin Manuel Miranda take over this project. I have 5 younger siblings so I cry every time I watch Surface Pressure. Love your reaction. You had me crying all over again.
Very good omage to Colombia!!!! they even showed ajiaco arepas and all the musical styles of Colombia. good for you disney and each member of the family represents one region of the country. the white girl with anxiety and the rain is Bogota, the little kid is el Choco, ther girl with the flowers is from Medellin etc
If you liked the music you should see "Hamilton", "Moana" or "In the heights"... As in "Encanto", Lin Manuel Miranda is responsible for all this great musical masterpieces...
Посмотрела недели три назад, до сих пор под таким впечатлением, что пересматриваю англоязычные реакции! Прекрасно понимаю, каково это, когда не можешь подобрать верную формулировку на английском :") продолжайте в том же духе💞
The popular theory as to why Mirabel doesn't have a gift is because, she's destined to take over her Abuela also giftless) as the family matriarch. This is further solidified with her close connection to casita.
The honesty in your reaction is amazing at times Dasha ... I'm pretty sure 'big sister' is extremely proud of you ... hey, you've not introduced us to the pink & blue dinosaurs that sit behind you yet ! 😁
You need to watch Lilo and Stitch! Another awesome movie! Although, I think this Encanto was better, but Lilo and Stitch was my favorite as a kid. Angel (the pink one) is from the show, but the show started with the Lilo and Stitch movie. They are not dinosaurs, though, they are aliens.
Your reaction to this movie was lovely and it felt so genuine, I don't know if you have already seen Coco, If you haven't I think you should do that one next, and if you liked the songs here, they were written by Lin Manuel who also wrote the songs for Moana, In the Heights and Hamilton, all of them great soundtracks Saludos desde México
Love your reaction! That's exactly what I expect someone watching Encanto should react. Disney make a wonderful movie, and you did a wonderful and sincere reaction. Congratz from Brazil.
Hey, to the reactor of this video. Just want to say I love your reaction and you made me think about something when you said that the characters gifts reflects their personality. Maybe the reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she has such an amazing and divided personality that casita could not find a power that reflects her personality because it is just to amazing.

I just realized in my third rewatch of the movie that abuela ditches the widow shawl after hugging Mirabel. It took that for me to understand the meaning behind the caterpillar/buterfly.
7:35 Close, quiero means "I want," so "Te quiero" is technically, "I want you." Though going by the context of the song, it's probably more accurate to translate it to something like "I long for you," since it doesn't sound like the song is a declaration of intent to conquer. "I love you" would be "Te amo," though there may be other ways that are less passionate to say it? I'm not sure. I'm not sure if "Amor" is purely romantic love, or if it covers the many other spectrums of love, too. After all, I'm not a fluent or native Spanish speaker. This is just what I remember from Spanish classes in high school 15 years ago.
Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle to the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle fixes it.The whole house is her room. And The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift.
"You marry someone for love, not for family". Even though that's not an early concept (it's been proposed since the Chivalry times), it wasn't really put into practice and disseminated as common sense until the late 20th century, at least in Colombia. My grandparents married not for love, but because it was their moral obligation to maintain the bloodline and protect the patrimony; and that's how it worked in their generation and before them. And I guess that's one of the reasons why marriages are lasting so little... cause love, at least the one you feel for your object of desire, is fleeting.
I'm glad you decided to try watching animations :) The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast have some of the best songs. Ponyo and My Neighbour Totoro are also classic animations, from Japan.
Also Dasha theory about abula and her husband was that she not only witnessed him die right in front of her but was decapitated by machete by the people that ran them out the village and burned there village down in front of her and she witnessed it all dont know if true but thats the theory I've heard

Tio Bruno and Mirabel have the exact same personality, as you said about Mirabel: "He needs her, so she's going", and Bruno is the same. Antonio will probably be the same too.
That thing in her hair- it does look a bit like a butterfly; but in English we cal that a bow (like bow and arrow, rhymes with throw and snow, not bow to the audience, like in plow or cow).
This movie reminded me of an episode of the TV show 'The Librarians'. For those who don't know there were a couple movies and a TV show based on them that lasted a few seasons. The show is about a team that deals with supernatural threats to the world in modern times. Basically they were dealing with what they _thought_ was an evil magical house. They come to find out that the house was actually a victim in the whole mess. The house was sort of a wish granting entity bound by certain rules that it could not break. A psychopath had gotten control of the house and was using it for her nefarious purposes. Obviously they managed to save the house by figuring out how to 'evict' Mrs crazy pants.
Oh, I am very surprised and glad that I absolutely accidentally started watching a video of someone from Russia! I almost never see or watch content created by people from my country, at least because of my preference in viewing content in English/Spanish. And considering the recent events in the world… Oh, it's really nice to see such a pleasant and charming Russian, since the country's reputation is getting even worse, especially lately... not that it's unreasonable, but unpleasant for me personally… Okay, never mind, thank you for your reaction, I really love it
Amazing video. Of all the videos I've seen reacting to the movie you are the first person who understands the movie perfectly. You are very welcome to Colombia to see the wonderful landscapes, culture and people who live here. I assure you that they are 100 times more beautiful than in the movie. The only risk of coming to Colombia is that you want to stay. Hug😊👋
ah yes great music loved it too 🥰 you NEED to watch "COCO" from pixar. even better (in my humble opinion) movie and music ... "remember me" makes me cry everytime...my face in the end looks like a dam broke...and i am a 33 year old man ^^
I know I've said it before, but your reactions are joyous. I'm sure your sis is more than glad to look out for you. I'm gonna head on over to your Patreon tomorrow and cause a ruckus. Wish me luck!
As someone who tends to like classic Disney best, I was shocked after watching Encanto to realize it may now be my favorite (only Mary Poppins rivals it for amazing music without a single weak spot).
*Facts:* of the music, first song The family Madrigal is based on the cultural music of the carnival de Barranquilla that traditional for the dance, foes fater and faster, waiting for a Miracle is based on Joropo a tipe of music that goes with percussion is done with the shoes, Surface pressure is based on Reggaeton kind of music, Isabela song is based in Colombia Latinamerican poprock from the 90ties,, all of you in vallenato and we dont talk about bruno is a mix of colombia salsa and others kinds of music around the country. the storie is a more happy and cute version of the novel 100 years of solitud by Gabriel Garcia Markes and its all shown in the inclusion of yellow Butterflys he loved so much.
I know how it is to be the oldest... I got two younger sisters that would sell her own mother if they had a chance. They could do whole lot worse to me. Your duty as Guardian Angel is tough...
What really breaks my heart is near the end when Abuela Alma says "it is not an excuse to hurt THIS family" as if Mirabel isn't a part of it brb crying again
Oh ouch yeah, that hurts like a slap

Fun fact: Lin Manuel Miranda based Luisa on his own big sister. “Surface Pressure” is in homage to her. 💛

I love waiting on the miracle but I don't understand why she sang from her nose...
Waiting on a miracle hits me hard everytime
It is a technique to help promote the actual feeling.
I believe her gift is to be the abuela's successor. Abuela doesn't seem to have a gift, but Casita only seems to take orders from her and Mirabel. She will carry the legacy.
Makes a lot of sense
Abuela is the candle's guardian
The -ito (masculine) -ita (feminine) suffixes in Spanish means something or someone is small or familiar or adored. When grandma called Bruno Brunito, the -ito suffix immediately let you know she still loves him.
This movie is about intergenerational trauma. Grandma was traumatized by losing her home and husband shortly after her children were born, and this caused her to place too much pressure on her children and grandchildren. Worse, she started to value the powers more than the people.

2. In Luisa's song, when the second verse begins, Luisa and Mirabel fall into a coffee grinder
3. The plates where Bruno's visions are seen, are emerald. Colombia is the largest exporter of emerald in the world.
4. All the gifts of the family represent something Colombian. Pepa represents the country's varied and rare climate. Camilo the variety of races and ethnic groups of the country. Dolores gossip. Antonio biodiversity. Isabela the flora. Juliet the gastronomy. Luisa the work of the Colombian, could we say (?
5. All the clothes you see in the movie, including hats, are cultural from all over the country. That is why it is disrespectful to us that Disney sells it.
6. Candles represent a lot in our culture, in fact we have a day dedicated to lighting candles. Hence why the candles in the movie.
7.The palma de Cera that is mentioned in Isabela's song, and seen throughout the town, is the national tree of Colombia, and is the largest type of palm in the world.
8. The yellow butterflies represent one of the novels by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Colombian literature Nobel Prize winner.
9. Violence in Colombia is a very big issue, which continues to be experienced to this day. In the grandmother's past we can see Forced Displacement. Colombia is the country with the most internally displaced people in the world.
The "aww" at the "if youre impressed imagine how i feel" it rhymes with the "mOoM~"
The creators of _Encanto_ say they were heavily influenced by Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Márquez’s novel _One Hundred Years of Solitude_ which is considered of one of not only Latin America’s best books in literature but in literature period. Butterflies 🦋 also are symbolic in the book symbolizing hope.
29:45 “She’s making me sick!”
Couldn’t have put it better myself. 👍
Seeing Bruno dancing in the back of Dolores' verse is still funny. I still can't believe I didn't see him downstairs the first few times. Speaking of, I can't believe she held a secret for 10 years
Edit: also, everyone singing at the end of We Don't Talk About Bruno is called a Madrigal just like their last name
I love how you said with this house you will never be late for anything. Because no one in Colombia has ever worried about being late for any event.
I can't tell if you mean that's because Colombians are always on time, or because Colombians don't care if you're late 😂
You just represented me watching it for the very first time. As a Colombian myself, I feel so attached to this movie and I cried my heart out. I loved your reaction, thank you so much for being so kind and sweet!
Exactly she did a great job reacting to encanto I cried the whole movie again with her she gets it
Yes! She got it! I feel like other reviewers don’t actually feel the emotions of the characters until the end with Abuela Alma. I cried so many times in the movie. Oddly, I’m one of the only ones I’ve seen, heard of, or know about who almost cried at We Don’t Talk About Bruno, though because I’m pretty much the odd one in my family and as soon as Pepa sang “Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin,” I knew he wasn’t bad because I was treated pretty much the same way, except that I was talked about, but mostly to my face or just mean conversations in front of me. I kept almost crying and just remembering my pain, being like, “Why does everyone hate Bruno so much?” because that’s how I felt. Honestly, though, I cried all the times Dasha cried. I’m not Colombian, but I’m Salvadoran, raised in the US, but brought up with both cultures, and from experience, this movie is so relatable on so many levels.
THANK you for being so sympathetic and ready to show your emotions. I loved how deeply you felt the pain of every character.
In the Waiting on a Miracle song, the actress who voiced Mirabel was 9 months pregnant when she recorded the song. 48 hours later, she welcomed her own miracle, her daughter
Your reaction was by far the cutest and best I've seen so far! And I've been binge-watching all of them! I loved your insight and comments.
When I sat down to watch this movie I didn’t expect to cry through it. Thanks for a great reaction :)
All the lyrics for Encanto’s 8 songs were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda…creator and writer of Hamilton the Musical and In The Heights musical and movie. The music for Encanto was composed by Germaine Franco, an award-winning Mexican-American composer
I knew you’d like this one. ☺️. Also, seeing Stitch and Angel chilling behind you always makes me smile.
1:44 In English we call that a “bow” (rhymes with “grow”), short for “bow-knot.”
Idk about other languages but I actually just learned last week that it’s called a butterfly or butterfly knot in Japanese too, so maybe it’s a common thing around the world? It really does look like a butterfly 🤩
We also have a thing called a "butterfly knot".
@@MattTOB618 😮 is it different from a bow knot?
I did not expect to go into this movie sobbing so damn hard. Disney made the best decision letting Lin Manuel Miranda take over this project. I have 5 younger siblings so I cry every time I watch Surface Pressure. Love your reaction. You had me crying all over again.
Never change Dasha. I love how much you care.
Very good omage to Colombia!!!! they even showed ajiaco arepas and all the musical styles of Colombia. good for you disney and each member of the family represents one region of the country. the white girl with anxiety and the rain is Bogota, the little kid is el Choco, ther girl with the flowers is from Medellin etc
That was a wonderful reaction dasha. One of the most beautiful films ever. It fills you up with so many different emotions. 🥰
Beautiful film, beautiful songs, beautiful reaction, beautiful Dasha.
Love to your family Dasha.
One of the most authentic reactions! Thank you so much Dasha!
Your reactions are SO GOOD!! I'm like, "yes!", "exactly!" many times. Great job
If you liked the music you should see "Hamilton", "Moana" or "In the heights"... As in "Encanto", Lin Manuel Miranda is responsible for all this great musical masterpieces...
Agreed, a great suggestion, but I fear she might get copyright strikes over Hamilton. . .
Yes, seconded for Moana especially, you would love it Dasha!
Ive watched so many Encanto reactions but yours is mt favorite ❤️❤️ I also bawled my eyes out watching this movie several times😭😭
Посмотрела недели три назад, до сих пор под таким впечатлением, что пересматриваю англоязычные реакции! Прекрасно понимаю, каково это, когда не можешь подобрать верную формулировку на английском :") продолжайте в том же духе💞
"casa" means house, but "casita" is like a sweet way to say it. Like "little house", you refer to dear ones with that "-ito" "-ita" at the end.
Wow! What a beautiful and genuine reaction! 🤗 Loved it!
Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴✨🎉
Camilo! Now if only your last name were Madrigal, you'd get to be a shapeshifter! 😁
The crack was leaving because pressure on Isabella heavy the most🤣😂
The song that plays during Abuela’s flashback at the River, “Dos Origuitas”, is a beautiful touching song about change and loss.
I’m from Australia and loving your reactions 😁
I love your reactions! You're so empathiC with the charecters!
The popular theory as to why Mirabel doesn't have a gift is because, she's destined to take over her Abuela also giftless) as the family matriarch. This is further solidified with her close connection to casita.
The most impressive part of the movie is the grass that grow in the middle of the river.. where the butterfly landed
The honesty in your reaction is amazing at times Dasha ... I'm pretty sure 'big sister' is extremely proud of you ... hey, you've not introduced us to the pink & blue dinosaurs that sit behind you yet ! 😁
That is stitch and his wife
Time for you to watch Lilo & Stitch 😁
@@IceMetalPunk absolutely
You need to watch Lilo and Stitch! Another awesome movie! Although, I think this Encanto was better, but Lilo and Stitch was my favorite as a kid. Angel (the pink one) is from the show, but the show started with the Lilo and Stitch movie. They are not dinosaurs, though, they are aliens.
Your reaction to this movie was lovely and it felt so genuine, I don't know if you have already seen Coco, If you haven't I think you should do that one next, and if you liked the songs here, they were written by Lin Manuel who also wrote the songs for Moana, In the Heights and Hamilton, all of them great soundtracks
Saludos desde México
Love your reaction! That's exactly what I expect someone watching Encanto should react. Disney make a wonderful movie, and you did a wonderful and sincere reaction. Congratz from Brazil.
I'm glad you enjoyed this movie, Dasha!
Hey, to the reactor of this video. Just want to say I love your reaction and you made me think about something when you said that the characters gifts reflects their personality. Maybe the reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she has such an amazing and divided personality that casita could not find a power that reflects her personality because it is just to amazing.
Awww your reactions were so genuine and beautiful. Loved this. Encanto is my absolute favourite!
That was great Dasha, always love your reactions
I love that you just watched the movie instead of spoiling it by watching the music videos first.
Dasha - you have such a kind heart!💕 Your genuine warmth and humour really makes my day!
What impresses me more than anything is how how smart you are
9:03 , M for Mirabel and A for Anthonio 😉😊
Oh man her reaction. Love the accent and the thoughts. Such a charming person. I'm a grown man and also cry every time I watch DOS Origuitas 😅

7 months later and still,
This is the best encanto reaction I've seen❤️
You really get in the feels of the movie☺️
I just subscribed, after watching a few of your reaction videos. Youre so genuine and your videos are so funny - youre doing a great job Dasha.
I just realized in my third rewatch of the movie that abuela ditches the widow shawl after hugging Mirabel. It took that for me to understand the meaning behind the caterpillar/buterfly.
I have seen a lot of reactions to this movie. This was my favorite so far. Thank you!
7:35 Close, quiero means "I want," so "Te quiero" is technically, "I want you." Though going by the context of the song, it's probably more accurate to translate it to something like "I long for you," since it doesn't sound like the song is a declaration of intent to conquer. "I love you" would be "Te amo," though there may be other ways that are less passionate to say it? I'm not sure. I'm not sure if "Amor" is purely romantic love, or if it covers the many other spectrums of love, too. After all, I'm not a fluent or native Spanish speaker. This is just what I remember from Spanish classes in high school 15 years ago.
I’ve always understood it as “I love you,” depending on the context of the situation. This is coming from a Puerto Rican.
You made me cry again 😊 Great reaction, hugs from Florida
Also the strong one is middle sister to mirabel flower miss perfect is the oldest sister to mirabel
Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle to the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle fixes it.The whole house is her room. And The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift.
"You marry someone for love, not for family". Even though that's not an early concept (it's been proposed since the Chivalry times), it wasn't really put into practice and disseminated as common sense until the late 20th century, at least in Colombia. My grandparents married not for love, but because it was their moral obligation to maintain the bloodline and protect the patrimony; and that's how it worked in their generation and before them. And I guess that's one of the reasons why marriages are lasting so little... cause love, at least the one you feel for your object of desire, is fleeting.
That was amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience, happiness and true emotions with us! Well done!
This was great Dasha! LOVE U
Awesome, a movie of which I love seeing being reacted to by a channel I love the reactions from... yeay!
I like that when Luisa throws the pieces of the globe up, and they reassemble, the camera is pointed right at South America, specifically Colombia?,
Love your reactions. Keep up the great work, Dasha!
Your English is really very good - and I am impressed that you listened and understood the story and lyrics through a second language. Well done : )
I'm glad you decided to try watching animations :) The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast have some of the best songs. Ponyo and My Neighbour Totoro are also classic animations, from Japan.
I liked how Antonio walked Mirabel to her door, just like she walked him to his door.
Check out Dolores' reaction to the fireworks. That's attention to detail.
Also Dasha theory about abula and her husband was that she not only witnessed him die right in front of her but was decapitated by machete by the people that ran them out the village and burned there village down in front of her and she witnessed it all dont know if true but thats the theory I've heard

Tio Bruno and Mirabel have the exact same personality, as you said about Mirabel: "He needs her, so she's going", and Bruno is the same. Antonio will probably be the same too.
You're a beautiful person! Thank you for sharing your reaction. :D
That thing in her hair- it does look a bit like a butterfly; but in English we cal that a bow (like bow and arrow, rhymes with throw and snow, not bow to the audience, like in plow or cow).
This movie reminded me of an episode of the TV show 'The Librarians'. For those who don't know there were a couple movies and a TV show based on them that lasted a few seasons. The show is about a team that deals with supernatural threats to the world in modern times. Basically they were dealing with what they _thought_ was an evil magical house. They come to find out that the house was actually a victim in the whole mess. The house was sort of a wish granting entity bound by certain rules that it could not break. A psychopath had gotten control of the house and was using it for her nefarious purposes. Obviously they managed to save the house by figuring out how to 'evict' Mrs crazy pants.
Oh, I am very surprised and glad that I absolutely accidentally started watching a video of someone from Russia! I almost never see or watch content created by people from my country, at least because of my preference in viewing content in English/Spanish.
And considering the recent events in the world… Oh, it's really nice to see such a pleasant and charming Russian, since the country's reputation is getting even worse, especially lately... not that it's unreasonable, but unpleasant for me personally…
Okay, never mind, thank you for your reaction, I really love it
I also cried to surface pressure. It always gets to me.
Amazing video. Of all the videos I've seen reacting to the movie you are the first person who understands the movie perfectly. You are very welcome to Colombia to see the wonderful landscapes, culture and people who live here. I assure you that they are 100 times more beautiful than in the movie. The only risk of coming to Colombia is that you want to stay. Hug😊👋
ah yes great music loved it too 🥰
you NEED to watch "COCO" from pixar. even better (in my humble opinion) movie and music ... "remember me" makes me cry everytime...my face in the end looks like a dam broke...and i am a 33 year old man ^^
I know I've said it before, but your reactions are joyous. I'm sure your sis is more than glad to look out for you. I'm gonna head on over to your Patreon tomorrow and cause a ruckus. Wish me luck!
15:25 They had a chance to design Hercules (Heracles, since he's the Greek one in the movie) off the animated movie, and just said "fuck it."
As someone who tends to like classic Disney best, I was shocked after watching Encanto to realize it may now be my favorite (only Mary Poppins rivals it for amazing music without a single weak spot).
I loved this reaction. 😭💕💕💕
I ugly cried when I first watched it and every time I watch someone react to it. Such a great movie.
Я люблю тебя Колумбия, 🇨🇴
I love Colombia 🇨🇴
Te quiero Colombia 🇨🇴
этот фильм о Колумбии
This movie is about Colombia 😊✅
Great reaction! Thanks for the content! 😊🥰
*Facts:* of the music, first song The family Madrigal is based on the cultural music of the carnival de Barranquilla that traditional for the dance, foes fater and faster, waiting for a Miracle is based on Joropo a tipe of music that goes with percussion is done with the shoes, Surface pressure is based on Reggaeton kind of music, Isabela song is based in Colombia Latinamerican poprock from the 90ties,, all of you in vallenato and we dont talk about bruno is a mix of colombia salsa and others kinds of music around the country. the storie is a more happy and cute version of the novel 100 years of solitud by Gabriel Garcia Markes and its all shown in the inclusion of yellow Butterflys he loved so much.
Hello, now you are an honorary Colombian because of your beautiful reactions, which are the same ones that we Colombians had during the movie
She didn't get a gift cause she's the Miracle herself
I know how it is to be the oldest... I got two younger sisters that would sell her own mother if they had a chance. They could do whole lot worse to me. Your duty as Guardian Angel is tough...
