The world doesn't deserve Bruno, but Bruno deserves the world

I always felt sad for Bruno he literally made a table so he could eat with his family still and has drawn a plate on it

I just noticed that Bruno is the one who looks the most like the late grandfather, with Mirabel being close behind. The fact that he so willingly sacrificed himself for his family's wellbeing perfectly mirrors his father too. Man just when I thought this couldn't get any sadder.

Bruno gives me neglected middle child energy and I feel for him for that very reason.

Just a note: Pedro and Alma weren't fleeing from conquistadores but from civil war violence.

Anyone else felt Camino was just darling whilst soothing his mother’s nerves? All the characters are awesome.

Great analysis. I agree with everything. Except 1 thing: the grandparents were not running away from “conquistadors”; the movie is set between 1900-1950’s and Colombia’s independence from Spain was on 1810. They were running from the “violence “ a violent time when civil wars were rampant in Colombia 🇨🇴; and it’s a reflection of still current “desplazados”: Colombia 🇨🇴 sadly is the country with most inner displacement of communities in the world; mostly because of the war between leftist and right wing fascist governments until today 2021.

“She knows everything about everyone” “That’s why her hair is so big. It’s full of seeecrets”

i really enjoyed every character in this movie, specially isabela. her personal growth is very notable and well done, and i wish we could have seen more of her with this newly found independence of the "always perfect" mindset, like maybe her redecorating her room and making herself over.

But what about Casita? the house was as much a character as anyone else! I’d even argue it was the true gold medal of good as even as it was dying it moved to protect everybody when it could

I had a feeling that Bruno would be a misunderstood character from the trailers, but I was utterly unprepared for how self-sacrificing and GOOD of a character he turned out to be. Every detail I found out about him made me empathize and like him more with the song "We Don't Talk About Bruno" feeling more and more horrifying despite how catchy it was because he was STILL their family member at the end of the day and no one even bothered to look for him nonetheless everything with his power. Like you said, the fact that he didn't grow bitter and kept such a pure heart through all those circumstances is incredible and he deserves all the love 💚

I agree completely with this, except for one point: I would swap Pepa and Camilo. I know Camilo doesn’t play a huge role in the film, and it’s kinda only there as comedic relief, but the role Pepa plays feels more negative, as she’s the one re-enforcing the “We don’t talk about Bruno” conflict through out the film, not Alma. That mindset she has for him makes Dolores, and more so Camilo, afraid of their uncle (at least in my opinion) and it seems that Antonio has little to no knowledge of his uncle, outside of the fact that he has an uncle, given that he’s never seen addressing anything about Bruno until he meets him, with the rats as alibi. So, I would swap Pepa and Camilo Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Another good point for Luisa: In the made-up scenarios in her song, she's always protecting Mirabel, sometimes even putting herself in harm's way. That shows how much she loves her little sister.

I feel like Pepa's power makes A LOT of sense in Colombia's weather since the sun can be radiating furiously in the mornings and it can be storming by noon. It's very unpredictable and I feel like it was on purpose

Pepa and felix are the perfect example of how to write about a straight couple. They love each other, and do everything to each other, they are not clichê and fit perfect in the story of the movie.

I like to think that even if someone has a different favourite character, every Tv show and Movie has a definitive ‘best’ character, and Bruno is definitely that. You can love Luisa and Isabella and Camilo, but I feel like Bruno will ultimately be the ‘best’ character regardless

Camilo loves his family with all his heart, helps others, is friendly, but yes, he likes to joke, such is his character. I like. No one is perfect, everyone has their own zest)

I felt so bad for Bruno and mirabel. Bruno can’t help what he saw…. Mirabel was shunned for not having a gift… alma knew what was going on with the house and chose to hide it….

My favorite and one of the top-3 most heroic characters is actually… Casita. I don’t know how much of a character it actually is, but it’s sad that Casita got overlooked. 1) It’s basically an invisible member of the family (as much as it’s possible when you’re a colorful magical villa). It has it’s own mind, it communicates and it participates in the family life. 2) Unlike with other Madrigals - Casita’s source of powers is not only due to magic or miracle, but also the family union. That’s why it starts cracking when family’s not ok. And gets back to life when family is happy and healthy together. 3) Equally to other family members Casita is just a helpless witness and a victim of events that took place in the film. Casita doesn’t know what’s happening, why or how to help it. Has no control over what’s happening to it itself. But still is willing to help when it can. 4) Finally, the fact that I noted but still overlooked while watching film, but realized a couple hours later and started bowling. When the Casita finally crushes down - it’s helpless. It can’t fix cracks at the walls or prevent ceiling from crushing anymore due to source of magic slowly dying. But with those last now-unfulfillable magical powers Casita still can move smaller objects like flooring and chairs. And it uses it at the moment of crisis. It helps Mirabel to get up initially, but as soon as it gets clear that you can’t save both - family and magical source - along with the other family members Casita sets the priorities correctly. Family is more important than magical candle. Casita easily could just do something like catapulting candle out of the house to keep it safe, we’ve seen it throwing stuff around before, but instead it uses its lessening powers to create floor waves to get the family out of the house; and at the final moments of its destruction Casita uses its very last bits of magic to create a shield to save Mirabel when the whole house comes crushing down on her. It does not protect the magical candle - the source of Casita’s own existence - it saves Mirabel’s LIFE with the last bits of magic it has before Casita essentially dies. Casita might not be a human, but it is a heroic member of Madrigal family.

I always kind of theorized that Casita was the spirit of Pedro watching over his family

I really want Mirabel and Miguel to become friends They both feel misunderstood by their families

I cried when I saw Bruno’s loneliness and the fact that he had a table with a plate that had his name so he could still eat with his family just broke my heart When I saw how happy they were to see Bruno again at the end I cried for so long it was so wholesome

Bruno was definitely most heroic because he was willing to give up his gift, family, and sanity for Maribel.

Felix gets points for the hilarious song line “No clouds allowed in the sky.” His playful sarcasm is a hint to Mirabel that he thinks everyone is overreacting about Bruno.

I definitely would have put Isabela a little higher on the list, at least above Pepa. Good list overall, and it's always amazing how fast these come out after new movies!

I'm so happy that Colombia got a movie! I honestly thought that Brazil would get one first, our maybe Ecuador, but they did a perfect job with the songs and character design, I'm so happy my country has been recognized :)

I totally agree that bruno must be at the top, he only wants to help by telling things he saw from the future, it's not his fault if a someone's future is going to be tragic. People only wants to hear what they want, but not the truth

I would rank Camilo above pepa not because he's my favorite, but because his mom is a little self-centered

Encanto is definitely my new favorite Disney animated movie next to Raya and The Last Dragon. The characters, the animation, the colors, the soundtrack- Oh God, THE SOUNDTRACK!

Best character is missing : the house. I know Casita is probably the warm part of Alma's personality she's repressing. But the way the house always help, feel worried and protect people make it unique and a whole real character on its own.

Anyone noticing how some of their powers somehow have a 'negative' side? Like with Pepa if she feels negative emotions the weather will mess up. Isabela can grow flowers that aren't colourful and pretty and maybe Antonio not only can talk to animals but also control them? Not everyone can do anything just because you talk to them right?

I’m realizing how much of a disadvantage Dolores gift actually is. Everyone else gets the cool gifts and what not, but she can hear rats talking through the walls 💀

This is the only Disney Movie that doesn’t have any villains nor antagonist

I really wish Camilo had gotten more screen time. Being the comic relief of the family has it's own burdens. Not to mention he probably has a lot of identity issues. Not only is he a teenager who'd likely be questioning who he is, but everyone he knows always asks him to be someone else.

My favorite character is Dolores, just I love the vibe she got on where she could always hear Bruno but never said anything

This is the beauty of the film: there is no villain. Just a family of mostly good people having trouble understanding each other.

Bruno and Iroh; The best uncles ever known in the whole Cartoon universe

Bruno is a representation of "Being evil is a choice". Bruno has suffered so much, is disgraced, Discriminated, falsely accused, gossipped, and almost disowned by everyone specifically his family. Still, he chose to be Good.

I have to admit that this movie made me cry too much. I have never related to a Disney protagonist. It legit triggered a memory that I have of my grandma and hence my strong dislike towards the grandma in the movie 😅 My grandma legit asked me and my sister to tell her more about ourselves and plans to brag to our extended family back in Mexico, as if just going to college wasn't good enough compared to our cousins that start music in highschool or go to the military or work straight away. But I get it. Like my dad who puts *slight* pressure on us to get *a bit* further in life than him in this second opportunity in the US.

Bruno was my favorite! Also i’m surprised you made one for this movie this early I think Julieta and Agustin should’ve been a bit higher on the list since they’re pretty pure.

I think Isabela is actually jealous of Mirabel because of the latter's absence of the 'gift' which is the only latter's burden and doesn't required to be 'perfect' just like Isabel.

Agustín only wanted to hide the prophecy until Mariano and his family was gone, which is a sound decision so I wouldn't hold that against him. It's not his fault that Dolores couldn't hold it in any longer and told everyone in the middle of dinner

i absolutely adore camilo’s role in encanto. he’s wonderful and i love the interpretation that can be taken into their character

I disagree with the 1th place. *Casita is the best character. Period.* She is not just a literal feeling creature but also a creature made out of love and created to be a safe place for everyone. Spoilers: When everyone was in danger even if was because of her, she (I am using her pronouns cause Casita is a female "name") still manage to take everyone to safety and help Mirabel to try get the candle.

I know that this isn’t technically considered a character, but I consider the casita a character (house)

I'm a tad concerned that Mariano was the only one who seemed to be genuinely worried about Mirabel in the proposal scene. Everyone else just seemed like, "Yeah. She's the family weirdo." But I do agree with the rankings.

**EASTER EGG** In the song We Don't Talk About Bruno, at 2:20 onwards Dolores says (her singing is getting lower or more faint because Isabel is singing her line above hers), "It's like I hear him now (Bruno)....it's like I can hear him now. I can hear him NOW!".

I feel so bad for Bruno..everyone hated him because of his power to see the future they see him as a dangerous person because they thought that when Bruno said something like tells the town that a snowstorm is happening in a few minutes, everyone thinks that he’s causing them exept for mirabel and her mom who think positive about him even pepa Bruno’s brother,hated him for “ruining” her wedding it’s so unfair for him 😢

The thing is the rain scene in the wedding was actually a good one, it means good luck and is also shed to be the last tears that the bride will shed for the rest of her life.

I do understand why Alma is at the bottom is Isabella should be higher than where she is placed in this video because she had all that pressure on her shoulders from Alma she always felt like she needed to be perfect because she is 1 is the oldest out of the 3 sisters & has to be responsible & I get why Luisa is higher than her but because Isabella is getting older she needs to make a plan for herself what she is going to do in the future & all of that. She is scared of disappointment from her family & most of all her grandmother because in the song at the end when Alma says "what's going on?" I'm sure she was scared to tell (idk because I didn't see the movie yet) I can relate due to me being older than my brother I am the older one & sometimes I feel like I have pressure to be perfect due to me being older sometimes you feel like you have to please everyone & that is how Isabella feels I do understand she has her flaws but that's what she is trying to hide and not show because the less she shows her flaws the more pressure she will put on herself (I know this is really long so sorry about that & I understand that you have your won reason to put her right before Alma but I'm just putting my reason there so no hate please & thank you)

What about the Mirabel’s home: the casita? Where would it be on the list. I think it is really supportive of Mirabel and stops the cousin of the family from getting extra food. It did cause the family harm by collapsing but it protected Mirabel as its sacrifice. Also, I am not counting the collapse against the house because it was the rift in the family that caused the collapse. The house’s sacrifice made the family bond and help one another. I would say that the house would be in the top 4 of the character list. The house has been helpful to the family no matter their differences.

12:56 Bruno got the gold medal! He totally deserves it, his story is super depressing. :(

I'd love a good to evil for "The Great Mouse Detective" and "Robin Hood".

Hey, may I say an objection? I would like to say that Isabella is better than second to last, because she has a great personality change. She stopped being so aarogant after Mirabel approached her, and though she is at first rude, she changes greatly. Personally, just from the story, I think her experiences make her more valuable than just least good. Things come to terms with Mirabel and her, so I'd put her at.. 3rd place good? Above Camilo, or Pepa. Not saying your list is bad, I just wanted to say my opinion But I agree with your list otherwise :) great job!

My favorite part of the movie was the attention to detail with family genetics. Which traits showed up in each of the children, and having unique characteristics while still being similar to the parents

Out of all violent people un Colombia, I don't think conquistadors are the ones portrayed in the movie. I think they are meant to be the violent people in general in modern colombia (second half of past century), without pointing to any specific side of the conflict.

I'm really happy you added luisa in top three since she doesn't get the attention she deserves, surprisingly, lot of people actually ignore luisa's problems thinking that the other family members are in more dire need of help instead of her.

I love how Bruno is pictured the exact opposite of what he really is. My favourite moment is the part of the song where Camilo talks about his "7 foot frame" and we end up seeing Bruno as the shortest sibling out of the 3

I enjoyed this movie so much. All the characters were so good but I thought Camilo deserved more screentime. he is such an interesting character! i would love to know more about him.

So, does anyone else wonder how Pepa had her kids? Like did she just have her kids in a torndado or did they have to sedate her when the time came?

I'm gonna buy this film as soon as it comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray and Digital. Looks fantastic.

Encanto: Weak to Powerful

Personally I would put Pepa as second least, then Isabella as third leaset and then Camilo as fourth least Pepa was the one person to repeat the "we do not talk about Bruno" thing in the movie. The thing that made her kids probably think so too. Though seeing as to how fast she accepted Bruno back in I think that she probably felt guilt about never clearing that between them and that she was worried about him, so to not think about that she probably used the more negative side to not think about that. Isabella definitely isn't worse than Pepa. Both her and Maribel were rude towards each other. I think she was possibly most effected by her grandmother's want of perfection, especially of her, especially because she's the oldest. And Camilo, well Camilo is just a good (and hot) boy. He didn't have any actual negativity. Even him singing about Bruno felt like someone trying to scare someone else like telling a story and he definitely just took the little bit he remembered (which wouldn't be much seeing as him also only being 5 when Bruno left) and the stuff he was told and made it a bit scarier. Plus did you see how carefully he handled Maribel? I think other than her parents (and Bruno?) that was the most gentle anyone was to Maribel. Plus he's a sweetheart that's close to the village people.

I can most defenitly say that Abuela is the antagonist, she's pretty selfish and rude to her grandaughter. She was content with forgetting about her freaking son, simply because he would ruin the family status in the community. She cares about the magic her family has more instead've the family itself.

Camilo definitely deserves to be a lot higher on the list, hes one of the most kind funny and friendly to the townspeople in the whole movie, and his amount of screen time shouldn't affect how we perceive his characters goodness. and Isabella was showed more stuck up throughout the beginning, but i like to think this is because were supposed to be seeing in the perspective of Mirabell. so when she hated Isabella, we were supposed to hate her, and when she realizes Isabella isn't as '' perfect '' as everyone perceives her as. i think she and camilo definitely deserve to be a lot higher on this list. at least higher than the bottom 3, like come on..

I love Pepe and Felix, really I love they and their children! They are all different but balance each other out

I’m glad Bruno got ranked high

One of the few disney films that I genuinely think needs a sequel. The cast has a lot of potential

something I found interesting: Alma was introduced as the caring and wise advisor to the main character, and Bruno was introduced as a villain, but it turned out to be the other way around, with Bruno being the caring one and Alma being the antagonist

It was a great video!! Just one thing, I'm from Colombia and I have to clarify that people who killed Pedro weren't conquerors (I wish it's written well). Here there are millions of people that were forced to leave there home because of violence. It's called forced displacement (desplazamiento forzado, in Spanish). It's with a lot of respect, I loved the video and the ranking!! ☺️

Bruno’s dudes he pretends are different are just funny. “I AM (doesn’t remember name) AND I’M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING”

I love how it goes Camilo, Pepe, Dolrase. Being one part of the family!

I watched the movie on monday. i loved and i loved every character i cant decide on a favorite. but if i had to it would either be peppa,dolores or luisa. i loved how luisa really opened up to mirable and i loved how dolores heard bruno and only told mirable as she didn't want anything bad to happen to bruno and i loved peppa because of her emotional personality just like me. me and peppa have a lot in common.

5:58 I don't think she kept that secret, i guess nobody believed her and she just gave up in trying to convince everyone, people tend to forget that she's probably a teenager, then her parents probably said "Ok dear" and went on with their lifes. On the ending of the movie she told Camilo that she was right about Bruno being in the house, probably hinting that she already said that but nobody believed her

The purity and honesty of Bruno is like that of a god. So I have no complaints for you to make him the most heroic cause he deserves it. A real hero acts out of heart not fame.

I would’ve ranked Isabelle higher, although yes, she was very flawed. She was actually one of the most selfless characters, she was willing to throw away her interests and feelings to fit the standard of being the most perfect, even willing to marry a man she didn’t love and have FIVE kids with him.

Disney ripped my heart out with bruno having to sit and eat dinner across a wall from his family who were happy he was gone. Like come on he didn't deserve nothing that happened to him

I love Encanto so much!😍😍 And Maribel is so stunning!!!😍😍

I would put Antonio above Luisa, but otherwise, this is accurate

Those weren't conquistadors those were other Colombian people as its set during the Colombian civil war, which worse part was during the the last of the 19th century till early 20th, after a wile it toneded down in some parts, to be fair it hastnt ended completely, the difference is where and who is fainting, always having inocente people as victims of their war.

‘ being a teenager ‘ EXACTLY PEOPLE!!! CAMILO IS LITERALLY FIFTEEN BUT THERE ARE FULL GROWN ADULTS SIMPING FOR HIM!

I think Bruno got his loving self-sacrificing spirit that would protect Maribel from family criticism from his late father Pedro who sacrificed his life twice: 1: he sacrificed his life to save his children and wife 2: Pedro reincarnated as the Casita since his spirit left his body and immediately entered the magical candle and part of it also went into the Casita that sprung up from said candle. Bruno felt comfortable hiding in the walls of Casita as he intuitively felt connected to it even though he was estranged from the rest of his critical family.

Camilo should be higher on the list, in the “Family Madrigal” song, he is seen helping a mother babysit their child while she rests. Not only that, but it is mentioned that he would do anything to make you smile. The biggest think though, is that he helps out amd calms down Pepa, his mother, in the part of the movie where she was super stressed.

The only thing that i 'd change in the list is that i would swap Pedro and Bruno's spot because, at least to me, there is no sacrifice bigger than sacrificing your own life for another person and he did it for his family's safety. I am not diminishing Bruno's sacrifice in any way, he still is, an incredible selfless person, willing to exile himself and live in solitude and sadness to protect his family from his gift. Thus is truly a virtuous act. But even with less screentime, Pedro did the ultimate sacrifice, and the seed of his sacrifice is the wonderful family that followed and that's why i can take a little bit of Alma's side in the story. (Although i agree 100% that she needs to be on the botton) I know she is in the wrong and end up learning from her mistakes, but the fear of losing her family just like she lost her husband is something i can pretty much undestand.

Can't wait to see CinemaWins do this movie. Should be a blast.

Bruno was my favorite character immediately when I first saw him in the movie without knowing he wasn't evil. I only loved him exponentially more in every scene

Alma is so underrated! She went through so much grief, pain, and fear for atleast 30 years! She has to raise her three kids alone, Casita was the only one with her. She never forgot about Bruno, she loves her family but feels that things need to be perfect or else they'll fall apart.

The most evil is actually whoever killed Pedro

I think the most powerful powers are: shape-shift, see the future, can hear from a far away distance, healing, super strength, and talk to animals. But if I have to get my power, it would be time control or invisibility. You can go to the future, reverse time, slow down time, completely FREEZE the time and more OR you can go invisible simply sneaking off or confuse your enemy (if you ever have one) and eavesdrop without them knowing. But if you were to choose your superpowers, what would it be?

You know this movie hit different when the bottom of the list is still good

Animaniacs Wakkos Wish: good to evil Good=Wakko Neutral=Brain Evil= King salad bar

Bruno is sort of like Sirius black from Harry Potter. Their character design is similar, they were both like the black sheep of the family, and people thought both of them were evil and scary, but they were really nice and caring.

Honestly I loved everything about this movie the characters were all great the songs were great the story I just loved it so much, my favorite Disney movie ever.

I watched Encanto on Disney plus on Christmas Eve and I loved it because of the songs and because of Mirabel and Luisa. Luisa is my favorite.

Brillaint list! Only catch is it wasn’t Conquistadors that killed Pedro, it was likely he got killed during Simon Bolívar’s war to liberate New Granada (later Colombia) as part of the Venezuelan War of Independence between 1810-1823. Reason for this is that the Conquistadors operated through the 16th, 17th and 18th Century. Colombia as a nation with the yellow, blue and red flag depicted in the move didn’t exist until 1863ish in the 19th Century.

Not because he's my favorite, but because if what I'll discuss further on, I believe Camilo was ranked a bit low? Like he always puts his family first. In multiple scenes he's rushing to his moms side and he's extremely supportive to Antonio. Also at the end when he appears to be trying to save the candle, the producers have explained that he was trying to save Mirabel, and not the candle, showing that he really would risk injury for his family. And later in the background you can hear him saying his gift is gone and almost immediately asks if Antonio is ok, dropping the subjects of what he would do, and instead going to his family's aid once again. At least the spot under his dad?
