By the way, it’s been confirmed by the creators that Bruno’s room didn’t always have that many stairs! More appeared as he grew more distant from his family

now we just need turning red and the "millennial generational trauma apology" film series will be complete xD

Fun fact: before we officially meet Bruno, you can actually see him lurk in the background at different points in the movie. - He hides behind a plant pot during the breakfast outside - During Dolores’ verse in We don’t talk about Bruno, you can see Bruno sneakily walking on the upper floor in the background - You can see his eyes through the peephole during the engagement dinner - probably a few more moments haha

My favorite theory is that Casita is sentient because it has Mirabel's grandfather's soul. Like, when he died, his soul stuck around to protect his family.

You notice that Abuela is wearing that black shawl for the entire movie until her and Mirabel reconcile at the end. Then she take it off when they go back to the family. It shows that she was still in mourning for her whole life. She was still ruled by her grief and fear and couldn't let it go. Also, Mirabel's line's in the last song, "Look at this family, a glowing constellation, So full of stars and everybody wants to shine. But the stars don’t shine, they burn." When you shine, you are reflecting someone or something else's light. It isn't your own. But she is saying they are stars in a constellation. Each is their own light. They are not a reflection of Abuela, or the Madrigal name. But together they create the constellation that is their family.

One of the movies main themes is generational trauma which is a VERY prevalent issue in Latino culture due to the culture itself and how strong and tuff it is and how it likes to harden and pour lots of pride into its people

i always liked the theory the encanto was created no just from an act of true love, but one of true sacrifice. it's not just pedro who gives up his life that day at the river when he goes back to hold off the men. it isn't just that alma's children lose their father and she loses her husband- alma loses her life. the life she was going to have with pedro. an act of true sacrifice and the universe responds in kind by giving her the power to protect her family for generations to come. but at the price of a life- of Their Life Together

Fun fact for you all. The part where they're all singing together in We Don't Talk About Bruno is actually called a madrigal :) "A madrigal is a secular vocal genre of music that originated in 16th-century Italy. Madrigals are usually unaccompanied and feature two to eight voices, with three to six being the most common. "

Fun facts • Lin-Manuel Miranda did the music for this film • He wrote Surface Pressure inspired by his sister • Mirabel is voiced by Stephanie Beatriz who played Rosa in Brooklyn Nine-Nine • Stephanie Beatriz was in labor when she recorded "Waiting on a Miracle" (thanks katherynhoward3840 for this one!) • Juan Castano, who played Miguel Ramos in “Red, White & Royal Blue”, voiced Osvaldo (the “not special, special” guy from the beginning of the film. He’s also the one who grew a gut in “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”)

I love that you noticed the darker, more violent tone to Abuelo’s demise at the end. When Abuela tells the story to little Mirabel she glosses over all of that, as she should with a child, but it’s so realistic in terms of how trauma can be downplayed over time and generations. Abuelo wasn’t just “lost” he was brutally murdered right before her eyes. You can see the look of shock and realization on Mirabel’s face in that scene when she fully grasps the horrors and pain that Abuela endured, and the strength she had to muster to move forward. It’s incredibly beautiful, nuanced storytelling about generational trauma and family dynamics.

I haven't finished the video so idk if niall says it, but the reason Mirabele doesn't have a gift is obvious. Abuela's gonna die someday. Someone has to bear the candle. Mirabele has the greatest gift because she is one with the magic itself.

Fun fact, Stephanie Beatriz was literally in labour while recording Waiting on a miracle, and she still sounds THAT GOOD Quick edit: by in labour unless my sources are wrong, she only actually gave birth two days after the final recording of the song :]

Someone get them therapy, all of them need therapy, every single one of them 😭

Honestly, this soundtrack is full of bops! We Don’t Talk About Bruno is so good!

The thing that gets me with What Else Can I Do is that Isabela is obviously knowledgeable and passionate about plants. She names several species, and knows that sundew is carnivorous. I always imagine that the canopy that her bed descends from is lined with shelves of botany books, and finding out that she can actually make all of the things she’s read about would absolutely generate the kind of excitement she shows. In the end, she does get the life of her dreams that Bruno promised, growing things and having a stronger bond with her sisters.

A bit of a fun fact about the woman who voiced Mirabel, who was pregnant at the time of the song and voice line recordings of the movie, apparently went into labor while singing the song waiting on a miracle, the song before the house cracked, she kept singing despite this and didn’t tell anyone til she was done.

Abuela and her husband ran away from home because they were being attacked, her husband decided to sacrifice himself which broke Abuela. Abuela sees herself in isabella and if you look at her and compare her to Abuela’s younger self you’ll see how similar they look. Because she looks like her, Abuela wants Isabella to have the perfect life, she’s basically reflecting herself off of Isabella which is why Isabella’s used to be boyfriend looks similar to Abuela’s husband. Bruno can see into the future, he doesn’t choose if it’s good or bad he can just see it. Because of his power everyone made him look like the bad guy, because if you listened to the song “we don’t talk about Bruno” again, you can see Camilo shapeshift into Bruno and making him look like the bad guy. Dolores can hear anything anywhere, so she was able to hear Bruno in the walls. She knew he never left but just didn’t tell anyone. Mirabel never gets a gift because she’s supposed to be the next protector of the family. So when Abuela passes away, Mirabel takes the candle.

Whoever designed the donkeys in "under pressure" needs a raise and so many accolades and awards it's such an iconic idea

I think Mirabel is the next MATRIARCH, that's why she didn't get a gift, Abuela also doesn't have one...My guess is the candle needs someone neutral to handle the house, the family and guide the way..., and the best one for that is her; she cares about everyone, always helps and wants the best for the family and casita, that's why she gets the handle of the door at the end. 💛💖💛💖
