Interesting note: the candle didn't flicker when Mirabel's door disappeared...it flickered when Abuela's reaction was to recoil from Mirabel because her door disappeared. The miracle always intended Mirabel to not have powers and to become the next leader of the family. It was Abuela's wavering love for a part of her family that broke the miracle.
I think one of my favorite subtle things is how Abuela tells an age appropriate version of her story to young Mirabel and then the actual hard truth story when she is older. Such a parental thing to do
It's also pretty likely (as someone else mentioned) that Alma was working very hard to not face that memory and gloss over that traumatic event as fast as she could in order to keep going and not break down. Everyone felt pressured to be perfect, or strong, or calm, including Alma, who needed to stay the strong one who took care of everything. She placed those expectations on her family, not even consciously, and also on herself.
Her trauma means she needs to be safe, the encanto needs to be safe, so her children have gifts that ensure that; injured people can be healed, the weather can be changed to suit the needs to the crops, so no hunger, and the visions of the future mean that they will always know if someone is coming for them. The grandchildren to a lesser extent, but still all their gifts are good for defense, food, or warnings.
It makes sense that Alma would put so much pressure on herself and her family to keep everything together at all times, that's her trauma speaking.
Yeah I always saw it as her romanticizing the event to avoid facing how it traumatized her. In the end she finally opens up about it to Mirabel and lets her see her grief.
I'm Dominican and I can tell you the most fantasy element of this story is an abuela apologizing 😂
I'm German and the same goes for my grandmother, unfortunately.🤨
I'm a narcissist's daughter and when it got to that part I was straight up like, "Ummmm EXCUSE ME?!?!" Like imagine all the young people who watch this movie finally realizing they're being scapegoated and they think the way to fix their toxic family is to call out the narcissist. Yikes. This movie is setting up a lot of young people for a lot of abuse.
The villain of this movie is generational trauma
@@drummergirl2319 Abuela isn't a narcissist, fortunately. Never was. As someone who was raised by a diagnosed narcissist stepfather, I know how they act, and she was the opposite of a narcissist. She felt too much and had too much pressure and wanted to avoid death and suffering. Her methods were not right, and the trauma she dumped on her children is hard to heal but it is not narcissism...
A lot of people who grew up with narcissists are so traumatized (I mean I fucking get it) that you see narcissistic traits in every toxic behavior when is not narcissism and that's both sad and annoying.
@@drummergirl2319 Cinema Therapy did a great episode on granny.
Antonio whispering “I need you” fucking BLENDED MY HEART TO DUST.
That's my first cry of many in this movie...the animation of his facial expressions and the whispers of his voice...breaks my heart
Right! He doesn’t need his mother in that moment, he needs Mirabel. Because Mirabel is the only person in that family that actually sees and understands him.
He needs her because she is the heart of the family.
YES EXACTLY! Everyone was losing their shit over "We Don't Talk About Bruno" back then, but "Surface Pressure" is a 12/10.
SUCH GOOD MUSIC.
Surface Pressure is the true best song in the film.
Mirabel's song has always been my favorite, that's by far the most relatable one of all of them.
THIS.
Yeah Bruno is good but Surface Pressure is amazing.
I used to work with a woman from Colombia. She mentioned something about Abeula's shawl. Its a mourning shawl, shes still in morning for her husband Pedro.
Now that is attention to detail!
Excuse me, I need to cry cause that's beautiful! 🥲
And it covers up the butterfly she wears on her belt.
OMG! I thought there was something deeper going on when Young Alma finally stands up, throws the shawl around her shoulders, and walks down the hallway. But I thought that was simply her deciding she was going to carry on no matter what. It's also her accepting her widowhood, isn't it?
And that's why it's gone by the end of the movie. Great catch!
That's good but please it's Colombia
I feel like Camilo gets overlooked in this because all the times we see him using his powers it looks like fun. But spending your life feeling like you're of most value when you're being literally anyone *but* yourself is not fun.
Meh, I feel like Camilo is the only one who used his power for selfishness (pranks, spying). Maybe it's a reflection of how he was treated, but who knows. The one who was really overlooked IMO is Pepa. Imagine constantly being told to suppress your emotions because the physical effects of them were an inconvenience to others.
I've heard that there was going to be a plot thread with Camilo feeling like he didn't have much sense of his own identity because he spent so much time mirroring other people, but it got cut for time.
Yeah, he's called a messy angsty teen in the artbook. @@CalliopePony knowing what they show in the movie, I think Camilo suffers lots of the same problems as the rest of the kids: overworking themselves, he takes care of his mom and other villagers' problems, but indeed has less sense of self.
@@Johnny_Socko Pepa at least gets addressed near the end, where Bruno tells her to let it go, which she does.
@@CalliopePonyI think that was just the fans theorizing
"This is going to make me cry, isn't it?"
You have no idea 😢
I'm a pretty emotional person but getting me choked up three times on a first watchthrough was impressive.
I don't cry, emotions have to stuff them down, and not have them. This movie is one way to get me to have them and cry.
Every freaking time.
Meh
Yeah, probably. Was my response to her asking that.
Bruno's 'plate' carved into the little table always got me.
Los Oruquitas makes me cry every single time. This is such a powerful story of generational trauma. It’s worth noting that Abuela didn’t reveal the real brutality of her loss until that moment with Mirabel at the river. She kept her trauma bottled up in an attempt to protect the family, but it came out as anger and unreasonable expectations. She had never really been able to grieve.
Fun fact: “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” specifically, the part at the end where everyone’s voices are overlapping with their own melodies and lyrics, is a type of song called a madrigal. Lin-Manuel Miranda also used this technique in “Hamilton,” in the song “Non-Stop.”
Lin-Manuel has also said that “Surface Pressure” is a tribute/apology to his own older sister whom he admits had a lot more responsibilities growing up than he did.
can't forget "One day More" in "Les Mis" as an example either!
I find that the entire scene between Mirabel and Luisa, song included, is basically a summation of the whole movie... it starts with questions and ends with an embrace.
also, in pretty much every song, one of the characters interjects with a melodic line from one of the other songs. Lin Manuel really nerded out on this one. P.S. madrigals have also been around forever
Honey. That's called an in canon round. It's been in music theory and theater for hundreds of years 😂
@@Amused_Comfort_Inc the condescending tone could be acceptable, if you were right. As I understand it, in canon rounds are basically the same melody repeated by multiple voices in succession, think of row your boat as an example. Madrigals on the other hand are a harmonisation of different melodies with different tempos, different tones and lyrics, which is what happens in the movie... And the family is called madrigal, not, I don't know, canon, or Lopez...so I'm guessing that's what they were going for
@@dehro Naw, it's still not acceptable. A sore winner is worse than a sore loser. Even though they were also wrong.
As the oldest child, and the eldest girl to boot, the Pressure song has always hit me hard. "Give it to your sister, your sister's older, give her all the heavy things you can't shoulder" oof I felt that
Also the eldest and "Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden" made me GROSS sob the first time I heard it 😭
To know that Manuel Miranda made this song for his older sister as an apology for how much she had to endure
Maribel does have a super power.... no matter what happens her glasses never break, scratch, or even get dirty
The shot of Bruno's "plate" is such a devastating image.
Every time I rewatch the part with the little girl saying, "I think your gift is being in denial." I'm always like, "Go find your mother!"
I'm normally not a cry-at-movies kind of guy, but I saw this December of 2021, after I had a brush with death in the hospital. The scene of Abuelo Pedro saying goodbye to his little ones (especially because I had a three month old at the time) had me in tears. And that followed up with the town rallying behind the Madrigals - when we had people who got my family food, donated money to keep the bills paid, kept my wife and sons company - absolutely destroyed me. Encanto is such a beautiful, beautiful movie.
I love it how the little shouts, *"IT'S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE!?!"* It just gives you a very good _Doctor Who_ reference! 😄😆😁
Luisa's song "Surface Pressure" finally gave me a way to adequately tell my parents how I was feeling. Things have gotten exponentially better since, and they never just assume I'm fine with everything anymore and always remind me that I have the guilt-free ability to say "no" to things with them and that it's okay for me to do so.
(Edited to add I want to make it clear that my parents weren't the ones who put the pressure on me; I did it to myself. I volunteered to take on a lot of "the load", and as time went on my parents would add to it whenever they needed help with something because they thought I was fine. They wouldn't have if they knew I was beginning to struggle. They're wonderful, which is why I take on so much to help them now that they're elderly. I've just had to learn to keep everything balanced so I don't overload myself anymore.)
Surface Pressure makes me cry every time because it describes how I feel.
Honestly, that song describes how every parent feels, especially with kids young enough to still be in the house. It really is my favorite of the movie. Glad things are better with your parents.
I’m the oldest of my family, and it took me almost 40 years to finally express how I felt. This song sums it up so well. I’m still in therapy, but the relationship with the family has been much better and I feel that I can actually speak up more than I ever had.
Luisa - it's the Latino spelling.
I have Older Sibling Syndrome, so the Surface Pressure song was the most relatable in the movie to me. Plus! It's a bop! I used to run to it at the gym. Great for getting pumped up.
It always hits me when the scene at the end shows Mirabel's door was always the front door.
I am a 30 year old man, I grew up on 90s Disney. This is the first Disney movie in over a decade that absolutely blew me away. The music, the characters, the themes, the story. Fantastic.
Literally same except I'm ten years older than you but everything else you said it's literally me
Same.
Literally the same reaction but I'm in my 40's
Subtle things I like about this movie: Dolores is considered a huge gossip, but she only ever gossips if the person knows she knows and/or if Abeula (and as her inheritor Maribel) asks. She must know literally everything about everyone in that town, but by gossiping 100% of the time when people know she heard something she deflects attention from the other 99% of things she likely knows. I think she does it on purpose after seeing how Bruno was treated.
I talked to a guy about 6 months after this movie came out who's last name is Madrigal. It was a work call but I asked how he felt about the movie, he said, 'Oh its been *great* actually. My wife and I own a small furniture store with my last name in the name of the store and we've been getting A LOT more business since that movie came out. Only problem is when little kids ask what power I have I don't know what to tell them.'
Someone mentioned that Mirabel might have influenced the house to give Antonio his gift because of his love for animals. If you take that as true (and it's the first gift after hers not being given) it strongly implies that Abuela chose the gifts , even unconsciously, up until that point...regardless of what that person may have wanted; making them almost a curse.
Good on the surface for a widow struggling, right? Ensure good weather, heal those physically injured, see future threats...2 of the 3 of those took a toll (maybe even all three, Julieta always looks exhausted). Followed by super strength to get the work done, super hearing (definitely a curse!) to ensure she knows everything being said, growing things...which, earlier might have been crops, but is "discounted" to flowers to "keep up appearances", and then finally, Camilo, the shapeshifter, the one who's identity is always in flux, always being told to be someone else instead of himself. All helpful, but completely ignoring the actual "person" who carried them, and their needs.
Movie has so many layers!
When Alma tells Mirabel her story at the beginning of the movie, Alma is talking to a 5year old, the memories we see are short, and shadowy,
When they meet at the river and talk, Alma tells Mirabel the entire story, and we see memories that are far more detailed and honest, Alma has been avoiding those painful memories by glossing over them and focusing on the candle and feeling as if the family needs to earn their blessings, so they aren't taken away. Alma allows her pain to show probably for the first time since her husband was killed, it's such a beautiful and bittersweet story,
I have been a daughter and a sister, a wife, and a mother and I related to every single character throughout my 53 years of life at one point or another, absolutely genius storytelling ❤
That face they animate in that moment. God it’s heart renching, and viscerally powerful emotionally
I just realized right now that the song you loved so much, Waiting for a Miracle she says she can heal the family. And she does.
Some folks feel that when her door disappeared as a child that it "went" into the house. The house was saying that she was going to be the next one to take after Abuela, but no one understood. Notice that the only ones who directly interact with Casita are Abuela and Mirabel.
Encanto is Spanish for "an enchantment".
This movie TORE ME UP when I saw it. This is THE generational trauma movie.
Yeah, I always took it that Mirabell's gift was her connection with the house. The whole house.
And Mirabel is spanish for 'Miracle' which is a bit on the nose but what can you do.
Exactly. Mirabel didn't get a gift because she IS the magic. When she is sad, the house crumbles and the powers fade. When she is happy, the magic comes back. (Oversimplified.)
@@Klaital1 Mirabel is not Spanish for Miracle...
More or less agree. I think Mirabel is the new Keeper of the Miracle like Abuela was with the candle.
The Capybara is my favorite animal!!! A real life R.O.U.S!!
But without the malicious intent. ❤
Rodents of unusual size? I don't believe they exist... 🐘🐭🤬
The house only listens to Abuela and Mirabel...the only two without powers.
Mirabel was always meant to take Abuela's place at the head of the family one day, to be the new source of the magic.
And aside from one instance (at breakfast when she's bugging Luisa and then Abuela tells Casita to swap the chairs around), the house pretty clearly shows preference for Mirabel between the two of them. When the candle was burning away, Mirabel ordered it to create a path for her to the candle. And in the same instant Casita outright expelled the entire rest of the family over their explicit objections, even Abuela.
The house did exactly what Mirabel wanted, and flat-out ignored the will of everyone else, albeit for their own protection. But it could've done the same for Mirabel...expelled her from the crumbling house to save her. Odds are that Casita knew the candle was going to burn out, and that saving it was pointless. Instead it made the path and helped her retrieve the candle, and then called up a pile of furniture to protect her from the collapse.
EXACTLY! Mirabel wasn't the only one "without a power". The other one was Abuela. Hence why they were both in the center in the family photo in the end.
Yeah, there’s a LOT of subtle clues that Mirabel is the next matriarch of the family. The fact that reality seems to bend when she’s around during musical numbers, the fact that the younger (i.e new) generation congregate to Mirabel and not Alma, and the fact that each member of the family is represented in Mirabel’s blue skirt. Also it’s implied that _she_ chose Antonio’s gift.
The final "wave" of the shutter makes me bawl every time.
@@jdb101585for me it's Casita using "its last breath" to protect Mirabel. As the kids would say, she's so MOTHER coded
Ohhhhh! That's right!
One of the things I really appreciate about this flick is that we see the story of the miracle twice. It bookends our story. The first time we see it through the eyes of a child - the young Mirabel. Then we see it through the eyes of a young adult - the older Mirabel. But the story is very different. Not because the facts change. But because an older Mirabel realizes something about that story that the child didn't. Instead of a story about magic... the older Mirabel understands that the story is also about loss. The second telling shows a young woman in anguish as she watches her husband murdered in front of her. A story about a young woman pressing on in a world full of danger that could destroy her children and her family just as it cut down her beloved.
This isn't a Disney tale of Good vs. Evil - heroins facing down scenery chewing villains. There is no villain; no baddie. There is just fear and pain and the cycle of pain that can cause if not recognized and stopped. Which is... ultimately... the evil that lurks around us all.
Yeah, I like that Alma is clearly traumatised and doing her best to keep everything together at all times. She's wrong in her methods, and how she hurts her family, but it's coming from a place of fear or losing people again. She's afraid and doing everything she can to keep everyone safe, which to her means keeping the miracle going. I like that she isn't doing something just to be mean, she isn't trying to be mean or hurtful, but she is because she is going about things in the wrong way.
It’s also how Abuela tells it. She’s still partially in denial and romanticizes the story as a fairy tale of sorts. The end she finally opens up about the experience, admitting her feelings, how it actually effected her and how horrible and painful it was.
Fun fact: the voice actor who plays Bruno is the same actor who played *Sid the sloth* from the _Ice Age_ franchise!
And the drag princess from "To Wong Foo"
John Leguizamo. He improved the telenovela scene ;)
Musht be the lasht actor of the sheashon. :P
@@RichardX1 "little latin boy in drag" 😂
He's also Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa in Moulin Rouge.
"I heard her eye twitching all night" feels impressive enough. But the film doesn't point out what's even more impressive: Their rooms are massive, basically entire worlds inside those doors, and they were both in their own rooms all night. She heard that eye twitching from across two entire worlds, not just through two doors.
Just wanted to tell you, she can't hear into any rooms, unless the door is open of course. Louisa was most likely pacing around outside and that is how Dolores heard it all night.
@@nsa9695 Literally said she was in her room though
"I'm so petty I'd just blow out the candle" made me laugh painfully hard.
During "We don't talk about Bruno.". You can see Bruno in the background while Mirabel and Dolores sang.
I believe that Mirabel didn't get an active power like everyone else because she will be " the new Abuela." She can tell when something is up with her family members. And help them deal with it. She is a great conduit for Casita and even the townspeople. And while others got doors/bedrooms corresponding to their power. She made the front door. The entrance to the house.
34:45 That is the absolute best depiction of utter grief and loss in any animated medium that I have ever seen. It is so raw and visceral that it rips the heart apart.
I have never seen my daughter cry as much as she did during the flashback with Abuela and her husband's journey. She literally ran out of the room crying.
Maybe she was overwhelmed by the realization that "adults" are nothing more than old kids, that life/the world has been unfair to them in ways they can't even imagine, while they cry and treat you like shit because of what? No tv when it's late and a school night? It's a confrontation with their privilege, the privilege of not having serious, adult actual problems like being a widowed single mom. I think it's beautiful, it means they're developing empathy.
@carlalussini she's only 6 so I doubt it's that deep, lol.
I mean it’s a really powerful moment emotionally. I can understand how it would be overwhelming for a kid
This film absolutely moved me to ugly tears. Surface pressure quickly grabbed me and then the song 'Dos Oruguitas' and the butterfly and then the moment Mirabel looks into the doorknob and saw her own reflection😢 omg I was sobbing! Even more embarrassing because my father was watching it with me! It just hit me so hard. Love watching your reactions! What a genuine slice-of- life and rare gem you are Ashleigh!
Surface Pressure is such a bop - you don't get pop songs with an Alto voice very often and it was soooo good.
As I see it, grandma was fleeing her town because of a civil war (that actually happened in Colombia) so she lives in fear that it happens again.
She’s obsessed on making her family indispensable to the community so they can’t become enemies again. She see the magic as the thing that keeps her family safe, so she’s very worried about keeping up the appearance that “the magic is still strong”
It's such a relief at the end when Luisa gets to lie in the hammock, like "Yes! Please relax! It's okay!"
I was born in Colombia and we moved to Canada when I was a kid. This movie made me so happy because Colombia has such a rich and beautiful culture (music food, people) and absolutely gorgeous landscapes. But to so many people, it's known more for drug lords. When my mom sent me the trailer for this movie I said to her "Finally! A movie about Colombia that isn't about Pablo Escobar." That afternoon I happened to be near a Colombian bakery and popped in to buy some snacks. When I was paying I said to the lady, in Spanish "Did you hear about the next Disney movie, 18:59 Encanto?". She replied all happy and excited, "YES!! It looks so beautiful! And it's so nice to finally have a movie set in Colombia that isn't about Pablo Escobar!" 🇨🇴❤🇨🇴
this is my mom’s comfort movie now and I honestly can’t blame her
Ashleigh: "He can talk to animals? That is so cool! .... Fuck the flowers! I want those!"
In before Ashley is bawling her eyes out.
People sometimes say that Abuela is the villain of this movie, but she's not. She's an antagonist, to be certain, but that's not the same thing. Nobody in this is evil, and they do want the best for everyone, but it can be how they go about it that causes things to get worse.
As with every video of yours, I recommend the movie Imagine Me & You, as well as Zsazsa Zaturnnah.
I'm a med/surg nurse who worked through the Covid pandemic on Covid units. I was talking with some other nurses about what song best described the experience and the song that really hit it for me was "Pressure". Working 60+ hour weeks during the worst of it, trying everything you can to keep the patients breathing without the aid of a machine, all while trying to stay safe yourself so that you don't get it and pass it on to others. Now every time I hear the song the memories flood back.
The animators had to FIGHT to get them to let Luisa keep her muscles. They wanted to do the "girl with skinny arms is freakishly strong". Trope.
Disney banked everything on Isabella being the most popular character, so largely focused on making her dolls, but surprise! It was only Perfect Isabella, not messy Isabella.
Also kids liked Luisa more.
Talk about missing the point of the movie… you’d think merchandising people would make sure what they were selling actually matched what they were marketing.
Luisa was literally hauling ass.
My head canon is that Antonio is destined to end up with the "IT'S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE!?" girl, so the quiet little man always has someone to tell the waiter he ordered mashed potatoes and didn't receive them.
I like how Isabella got a prediction from Bruno about how she would get more powerful and everything she ever wanted, but never actually imagined happiness to be part of that deal.
When you pick up your next TV series, it should be Galavant - a half-hour medieval musical sitcom with songs written by Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) which contains some glorious sarcasm. I also suspect you'd enjoy the movie Starman.
@23:49 that plant that bops Mariano on the nose is absolutely Isabella's subconscious sabotaging the proposal - regardless of everything else...
"Here comes Wonderwall!" Yes Ashleigh... All the Yes! 😂
I like Isabella's section in We Don't Talk About Bruno. At first it seems like she got the only positive prophecy from him and everything is great, but after her side of the story is revealed you see that from her perspective Bruno lied to her. She's being shoved into a marriage she doesn't want and her power is stagnating since she can't do anything she wants to with it.
Bruno didn’t lie to her he promised that it would someday be hers
@@flyerfan8 From her perspective, at that point, it seemed to her that he had.
and then after "what else can I do" she finds out what he was actually telling her
For a perfect example of musical symmetry in this film, the melody that Isabella sings in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" gets reprised later by Mirabel in "What Else Can I Do", at the point where she's achieved proper self-actualisation and Bruno's prophecy actually comes true
My interpretation is that she didn't even know she could do something different..
Maybe her power going up was just make more flowers for her at the time.
She never mentioned any of the points that you mentioned, hence she look very content
If you liked this one you ought to react to Disney/Pixar's "Coco" It's another great animated film that takes place in Mexico with an amazing story and is also visually STUNNING! It's one I love to see people react to. Super cute and fun!
❤❤❤
"Phenomenon" with John Travolta. Then "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams.
If you haven't seen it already, a great follow-up to this one would be Pixar's "Coco". Get the tissues ready, though. That one always makes me cry-- EVERY SINGLE TIME.
They had to fight to keep Luisa in the film. The execs didn't want her because they thought she was too buff and they were afraid she'd be seen as trans, and Disney has this rule about staying out of current politics. They eventually came to a compromise where they made her slightly more feminine.
Personally, I like this version of her, she's perfect!
And Luisa was the most popular when the toys came out.
I sincerely hope Ashleigh gets to see "Perks of Being a Wallflower". That movie is so good!
Such a great movie, with super catchy music, but Luisa’s song ‘Surface Pressure’ definitely resonated with me the most. Dealing with depression for a long time, having the mother of your kids die suddenly, and then shortly afterwards your youngest son gets diagnosed with leukemia, people definitely put tons of stress on you, and you have to act like you’re the strongest person around no matter what and it’s very hard and tiring, so I totally feel her pain in that song.
I cried when I first watched this movie, and...I cried again watching you cry watching this movie. Love you Ashleigh.
My personal theory is that Mirabel didn't get a door because Cassita wanted Mirabel to be the successor to Abuela. Abuela doesn't have any powers, because she's the keeper of the house. Mirabel has no powers, but she's the new keeper of the house.
I realise it's hardly an original theory, but i absolutely believe it
Commenting before hitting play, with a prediction. Ashleigh gonna BIG CRY with this one.
EDIT: 2:05 "Oh no, oh no. This is gonna make me cry isn't it?" That's EXACTLY what I'm saying.
EDIT 2: 6:40 "*whispered* Is this going to make me cry?" You're getting it.
EDIT 3: 6:46 "I'm going to cry during this one, aren't I?" **shakes Magic 8 Ball** Signs point to yes.
EDIT 4: 11:00 "Oh, this one's going to make me cry." Yep.
EDIT 5: 11:13 "Aww, stopit! I'm going to cry so hard." Oh you're not even to the worst of it yet.
EDIT 6: 31:46 "Oh **unintelligible** I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry." Yes, but you also gonna BIG CRY.
EDIT 7: 34:41 "aww.... Oh no. Oh no! OHH NOOOO! **breaks out in BIG CRY** ohno" And there it is.
EDIT 8: 35:57 "This movie's so pretty -- I'm gonna cry about it." We all did.
EDIT 9: 36:21 "I'm mad that I'm crying" Understandable. This film just puts you through the wringer.
EDIT 10: 37:32 "*in response to Luisa's line 'sometimes I cry'* ME TOO! ME TOO!" Us too.
Isabella’s song *speaks* to me. The drive for perfection that just wrecks a person 😭
I must be a sociopath because I love it when these movies make you hard cry. Thank you for posting them anyway!
If you look closely in the background during We Don't talk about Bruno when Dolores is singing, Bruno is sneaking along the balcony.
Also another fun fact for you- all the songs in the movie are in 1/4 time, except for Mirables solo "Waiting on a Miracle" which is in 1/3 time, which just further sets her apart from the rest of the family.
One of my favorite bits is in Luisa's song, when the ship is sailing towards the iceberg. She basically says that people don't even bother to do anything to protect themselves, and just sail straight at the danger looming ahead, because they know she can just take care of it for them, so why should they even worry about it? It would take so little effort to just change course a little bit and handle it themselves, but nah, Luisa's here, she'll protect us!
@awkwardashleigh you've got a fly to swat
LOVE both Encanto and COCO... SOOOOOO good!
Coco will WRECK Ashley... she has to watch it
@@foulrot Right!??
"This is gonna make me cry, innit?"
Girl. I teared up just seeing the first few clips of this video. This movie absolutely DESTROYED me the first time I watched it. And yeah, Surface Pressure hit me lite a ton of bricks too, especially those lines. Like, who am I if I can't be of service? OOooof.
This is by far my favorite Disney movie. By FAR. Funny, sad, beautiful, great music.
I love how in We Don't Talk About Bruno. During Dolores part she is letting you know she Hears and knows Bruno is still in the House
Yes, Dolores sings about Bruno in the present tense.
@@robertstallings6020 I think Camilo does too?
"Seven foot frame, rats along his back
When he calls your name it all fades to black
He sees your dreams and feasts on your screams"
"Am I going to cry?" Yes, yes you are. And I'm gonna cry with you.
Have you ever seen Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Stephanie Beatriz is the voice of Mirabel, and she also portrayed the moody detective Rosa Diaz. That’s why I can’t help but laugh at Steph’s voice in certain parts of this film.
Steph now has a daughter with her husband, but the crazy thing is that she was in labor when she was recording her solo song Waiting On A Miracle.
If you wanna see more of her work, she currently stars in a Peacock show called Twisted Metal alongside Anthony Mackie. She also lends her voice in the Amazon Prime Video animated musical series Hazbin Hotel.
As far as checking out other Disney films, I wanna recommend WALL-E, Luca, and Turning Red.
TURNING RED!
In Twisted Metal, when Beatriz's character gets loud and expressive... hilarious because it sounds like Mirabel yelling "F***!"
I love Isabella's look after she breaks out of her confinement. That multicolored punk style just really does it for me aesthetically
I think it's crazy that the woman that voices the main character actually recorded her solo song while she was in labor. She didn't want to effect recording schedules so she didn't tell anyone that she had contractions that morning. She recorded her song and her daughter was born the next day. Lol that is so bad ass!
Just a note: We ALL have the power to talk to animals. It's the power to understand them when they talk back that would be cool.
Maybe "communicate" would be a better word.
Louisa's song under pressure is my favorite song in this movie,as the eldest sister I can relate with her.I love this movie and the music and animation is next level.
‘And that’s why coffee is for grown-ups!’
Your voice gets so high when you're emotional... it's the cutest.
Its actually very subtle: her gift is the same as Abuela Alma's. She's connected to the house itself. That's why she can communicate with it, and why the house doesn't come back alive until SHE puts the doorknob in.
Or, in other words, her door was the house's FRONT door!
Disney Parks need a Luisa meet and greet character, NOW
Tokyo Disneyland has her , except she is Japanese.....lol.
Its coming. Dinoland in Animal Kingdom is being remade into a Tropical Americas area with Encanto being a major section with a ride and meet and greets
@joemess that's a damn shame
Ashleigh - Mirabel's gift is the same as Abula's gift she's the caretaker of the Casita. This one of those movies I can put on whenever and yup at points I always cry too.
Awesome pick and great reaction as usual :)
One of the best movies from Disney, all together with Inside Out
Not sure if anyone else has explained Mirabel’s “gift”. The main theory that holds is that she is meant to be the next leader/matriarch of the family: Abuela also never had a gift but had a more central connection to Casita, just like Mirabel, and then the final door has her at the center of the family, signifying her importance of keeping the family and gift alive like Abuela has.
Her gift was empathy...most black sheeps of the family are empaths
Encanto had me ALL messed up when I first watched it. So many of us out there feel like we're not unique, we can't do enough for others, and we can't achieve what others expect from us. Totally a relatable movie, amazing visuals, and of course an amazing soundtrack. 🖖😎🥃
This is a very beautiful animated Disney movie.
Saw this in theaters. From the moment Abuela told Mirabel to not help decorate for the party to the very end, I did not stop crying. So much family trauma that was too relatable. I resonate with Isabella, stuck being perfect, being so selfless that you don't take care of yourself, unrealistic expectations from family
I always saw the door at the end as Mirabel's door. Her room was the house. Everybody's door revealed the blessing they had to give to others. Mirabels gift was for her family and house. Her power was how she could help her family. Not having supernatural power allowed her to develop her emotional intelligence, and her unique power became understanding others and seeing them.
Prescience is a trap. The more accurate the vision, the less freedom the players have. I think Bruno must have instinctually understood that.
Bruno was cursed.
@@rmhartman They all were in their own ways. Especially Pepa and Dolores.
The animation of the dresses was really well done. And the colors were really vibrant.
my interpretation is that mirabelle was a future replacement/companion for abuela and their conflict is what destroyed the house. mirabelle has a gift and always did she can command the house and has the skills to keep everyone together. when abuela and mirabelle finally make up is when the power of them both restores the candle.
You are correct :) it was confirmed by the producer in an interview. The miracle was linked to the candle, the candle was linked to Abuela's Faith. The first time her faith was shaken was when the door disappeared and the candle flickered for the first time. As Antonio's moment gets closer, her doubts crept in and Mirabel was her reminder / trigger. In the end Mirable didn't get a room because the house was going to be hers next just like it was Abuela's. :)
And Mirabel in the future will take up the position of head of the family and keeper of the magic like abuela ❤
CRYING AGAIN
This movie is so special to me. After a very long writing slump (fanfiction), I was ready to pack it in as a writer. I had no inspiration, no drive, nada. And then I saw 'Encanto' and my creativity sprang back into life and my love of writing came back...
There are so many moments that have given me story ideas and every time I watch it I see some detail I never noticed before.
The cherry on the sundae, though, was when I posted on Jared Bush's Twitter that I was so grateful for this movie for keeping me from giving up writing. His response? Telling me that he'd never met a writer who had never thought of giving up at least once in their lives. He responded to me as one writer to another and I can't tell you how much I needed to hear that.
Ashleigh, here's something you'll love! Look up an Acappella group called "Voiceplay." They do a cover of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" that is so excellent, Disney hired them to do it at a big corporate event! They also do a short of "Surface Pressure."💙
I was literally looking for this exact comment....please Ashley, react to their rendition of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" it's sooo good....
@@joealvarez8733 Wooo-hooo! Hello fellow Voiceplaya! Oh! And Ashleigh, pay close attention to the handsome long-haired bass in the front during Isabella's part. I hope Ashleigh sees this in the comments!
So, Joe, what do you think of Voiceplay's cover of "Black Hole Sun?" I think it's great, but I liked "Sleeping In The Cold Below" a bit more. It's just such a banger!
💙
Easily one of my favorite movies. The moment where they see the whole town coming to help, and Antonio's awe at seeing them all, it was so good I almost cried the first time I saw it.
Email announces Ashleigh has reacted to Encanto:
Me: Oh she is going to bawl
My Wife: Yup
Ashleigh: Is this going to make me cry?
My wife and I, In unison: YES!
(In the best way possible.)
HAHAHAH and you were right.
Just love that during her whole song Louisa was being a good big sister and protecting her little sister wish my older brother was like that but he is more like the older sister, I think Mirabel did get a gift she is more connected to the house and gift to help prepare her for taking over after the grandma passes.
"Pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service" Hard hit
Luisa’s song is my favorite too!
I feel like the reason Isabella has such perfect hair is because she has plant based hair products and can control how her looks.
“This movie so pretty” said thru gritted teeth and tears LOL my reaction back in 2022 when I watched this having covid
Surface Pressure is THAT song
Louisa is my favorite. Her song as well.
My personal head canon about Mirabel is this.
The candle was the magical gift given to the family to protect them. I believe the house is actually Pedro's spirit. He got to stay on Earth and be with his family and shelter and protect them. Giving each of his new family members a gift when they turned 5.
Well, Pedro/Casita saw the trouble in the family. How Abuela was holding on too tight. Pushing the family to help the community. Putting so much pressure on them to use their gifts to do so. Ultimately, she pushed Bruno away because she couldn't see past the problems his predictions caused.
Pedro/Casita foresaw the disaster unfolding, probably felt the candle's magic growing weaker. So, he knew he had to choose someone to reconnect the family and fix the bonds so the magic, the Encanto, would remain. So Bruno was getting more and more shunned. During this time, Mirabel was turning 5. Pedro/Casita saw the hope, life, and compassion in Mirabel from that young age and chose her.
Instead of using this event to give her a gift that could be used right away, he transferred part of the magic and/or himself to her. Allowing her to be the tether the magic and he, Pedro needed to remain there, protecting the family. What I mean by "transferring part of himself" is I think he used her as a tether to keep from leaving the Earth when the house inevitably fell.
This is backed up with the fact that the mountains that the candle summoned were still standing after the house fell. This indicates that the magic wasn't gone. It took a special someone to bring the family back together and to put the doorknob on the house, bringing Casita/Pedro back, as well as the magical gifts.
That's what I think at least.
