Lin Manuel Miranda didn't HAVE to go this hard on the soundtrack, but he did and we all love him for it.

One of the coolest things about Encanto is how it shows how easily it is to never think of someone further than their immediate use/their defining trait. Luisa is strong so no one questions when she might need help/be weak. Isabella can make beautiful flowers so no one encourages her to be anything else, etc.

This song makes me cry every single time! I am an older sister like Luisa and the pressure of being always strong and keeping everything together is just too much sometimes. Being the family rock is hard!

Overlooked symbolism: Donkeys are beasts of burden that carry great loads. They symbolize strength and stubborness.

Lin manuel miranda (guy who wrote Hamilton) did the mmusic for this movie. The man is a genious. Its so catchy and heavy at the same time. We dont talk about Bruno is also great!

Most hard hitting song in this in my opinion so sad and relatable 😥

Guy who wrote the songs wrote Moana's songs and Hamilton.

What I love with this song is the building of their family relationships. Throughout the song she’s protective her sister from danger. No hesitation she just does it. Nobody is strong enough I help her but she has to be strong enough to help everyone else x

I love how all the Encanto reactions to any song is "yo why this a bop" such a good movie

The movie has become one of my favorite Disney movies.

Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the songs for Encanto, so I'm not surprised that they're amazing.

I’ve watched so many reaction videos for this song and you are one of the only ones, without the context of the movie, to pick up on the message of the song so quickly. Yes, it’s a bop and yes, the visuals are creative and colourful (it IS aimed at children after all!) but Luisa is outwardly confident and strong and does it all, but when she “peels” the surface she’s scared and feels worthless and vulnerable. I cry almost every time I hear this song. Great video!!

It's a great song, the movie's awesome, I hope you've seen it by now. That song always hits hard, especially towards the end, the bit that gets me is when she's literally picking up the whole-ass family house and demanding "no mistakes" of herself. literally carrying the whole family, you know? A point someone else made that I like - the donkeys are part of a job she's doing when she gets distracted by her song, and the fact that they're so heavily featured in the video is kinda telling, like they're representative of her. Like she's not even a person, she's a commodity, a beast of burden, and damn it hits different when you think about it like that. It's such a good story.

Surface pressure was my favourite song but the movie it self is amazing

Lin Manuel wrote "Surface Pressure" as a tribute to his older sister and when I first heard it while watching the movie, ngl it made me ugly cry.

This is my favorite song of the whole movie ❤ i love all of them but this is my favorite

This is by far the best reaction Ive seen to this song.

I love when he looked around so see if there was any one there lmao 🤣 threw me off 😂

please do a reaction to "We Don't Talk About Bruno" that's my favorite song from Encanto next to this one

Looking back at the song I notice the song slowly gets more darker colours as the song continues and gets lighter when there is positive things brought up and gets more dark as the details of the pressure and stress are more elaborated specifically the point when they consider shaking the weight of expectations as soon as they start going back to the growing pressure and explains how it keeps growing and keeps going because all they know is the pressure the sky’s turn more and more dark it’s subtle but is a nice detail

The donkeys represent the burden she carries. They’re known as the “beasts of burden”. Beautifully symbolic

Jejeje suena muy chistoso cuando los gringos dicen encanto , suena como encantouu 🤣🤣🤣

I wish I could tell my younger self to shake off the crushing weight of expectations and continue doing what I loved and not pursue it because It went against being a doctor or engineer.

Omg i rly think that u deserve more views! U re awesome dude! Also Encanto rly rocks lol - Great reaction, keep up! *sending hugs*

The Black Cauldron and Robin Hood - my favorite. You do know the older classics.

Donkey’s are a common pack animal in Colombia I believe.

I cried when I watched this video

One man is all you need for films and songs like you find in this film. Lin manuel Miranda

Donkeys are Beasts of Burden, its why they are always around Luisa ;p

Definetly watch it its great :D

If you want to cry, listen to "Waiting on a Merical" from Encanto

Watch the movie!!!

I’m calling them donkeycorns

“Why is this a BOHP tho”

💖

If this is the first time that you have reacted to the movie Encanto, you have to first see the video of the "Madrigal family" song so that you understand the context a bit,... if you do the reactions to all the songs, I will be here to see them! I love this movie.

💚

i'm 41 and black cauldron still fucks with me lol

this was fun to see how tickled and excited you were throughout the song. Did you see the film yet?

you should watch the movie it is very good.

Can we just say how good his intro was like it was fire 🔥 what was the song btw?

REWIND INDONESIA 2021 PLEASE

Cadz you like Disney, Wow

Surely you're gonna react to the rest of the songs riiiiiight? Riiiiiiight? Cuz "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is also a bop that needs to be addressed. Riiiiiiiiiight???

One gripe I have with this sequence is I think the visuals at times got too comedic, like having a donkey dance or dress as a unicorn to sort of mask the serious tone of the lyrics. I'm sure it was intentional to show how the character is masking her insecurities, but it's still distracting sometimes. That's why I personally only like to listen to the audio only version.

Now you have to react to We Don't Talk About Bruno No No NO NO!!!!! (Pleaaaseeee)

If you’re here for the reaction and not constant pauses with commentary, here you go 2:47 yw

Same songwriter as Hamilton, Moana, and In The Heights.

React to the whole movie pls

donkey's are beasts of burden

I'm strong I don't flinch Any weight for me is quiet Comes with everything, I can handle it And no one will deny my talent I don't question if it's heavy my body bears the burden If they give me steel I'll tread With the strength of my arms I make shrapnel but i'm nervous And anxious on a tightrope I follow cautious I am nervous Like a hero who got tired in a horrible fight I am nervous If I'm not generous I feel idle I can't get tired, I can't fail will I break? what makes me break? The pressure is like a tik-tik-tik that won't stop, oh tik-tik-k pressure ready to burst, oh, oh, oh send it to Luisa, she is older everything that weighs too much goes to her I'm nothing if take my gift away The pressure, it's so much around here that, that, that, it's already stressed me out, oh And the pressure makes tik-tik-tik, my limit has reached, oh, oh, oh send it to Luisa, the stout No matter the weight, Luisa can handle it I'm nothing if I take my gift, I dismount I am nervous I get so anxious, but I try to pretend I'm brave I am nervous The threat is angry, fatal and silent I am nervous I know I'm proud and life is dangerous The house will fall, I need to act I use my strength but I don't know how to stop How about changing the mood and holding the expectation? I would be so much happier and so much more alive More lively, not so used Or pressured, but lack of revolt in the background the pressure, tik-tik-tik, who doesn't want to stop, oh The pressure makes tik-tik-tik ready to burst, oh, oh, oh send it to Luisa, she shines She is the most powerful in the family It might even hurt, but don't say no The pressure is so much around here that, that, that, I don't know who I am anymore, oh And the pressure makes tik-tik-tik, my limit is over, oh, oh, oh Who has Luisa doesn't regret Make an order and she will go and fulfill I'm nothing without my function I follow then pressure doesn't kill
