Another fun fact: the first photo the family took in Antonio's room was the grandmother's perfect version of the family, without Mirabel. You can see the grandma's face was strained. The photo at the end was imperfect, but had everyone in the family and they were all happier.

The fact that Pedro( the grandfather) and Mariano( Isabella’s “fiancé”) and abuela and Isabella look identical when they were younger. The grandma is projecting what she wanted for her life onto isabella

Personally I theorize that the miracle actually was born out of Abuela's grief. In the flashback it doesn't appear until she falls to the ground sobbing, and then it flings the guerillas back. But being born out of grief and trauma it wasn't sustainable, which is why the miracle had to basically be reborn through Mirabel's love for her family and ability to bring them all together.

Another fun fact, Mirabel, her parents, Luisa and Isabella are dressed in cool colors. While Pepa, Felix, Dolores, Camilo and Antonio are dressed in warm colors. Allowing the viewers to easily tell whose side of the family who is on.

Luisa: *singing about an unhealthy amount of pressure for a 19 year old* Billy: 💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻

Billy: "These songs remind me of Hamilton!" Encanto: Is literally written by the guy that wrote Hamilton

30:40 I love the detail that Mirabel was the only one able to reach the candle bcos Isabella and Camillo relied on their gifts 30:27, but Mirabel asked Casita for help 30:25 since she built up a relationship w/ the house over the years w/out a gift of her own. It was also cool to see how Casita protected them all as she was falling apart 30:28 30:56

The song Waiting on a Miracle was really good. It's even crazier when you find out the Stephanie (the VA) was in ACTIVE LABOR while recording it. Women are incredible.

*Dolores:* quietly whispering her part cause she knew Bruno was in the walls of the house and is actually pretty sympathetic towards her uncle stating that they couldn't understand his prophecies so what happened wasn't his fault. *Camilo:* sEvEN FOOT FRAME-

As a Latina I can say the most unbelievable part of this whole movie wasn't the magic. It was la Abela admitting she was wrong.

"Argh, this man's got Ratatouille's cousin playing with his toothbrush!" ahaha this was so fun to watch! Love Encanto!

Encanto is absolutely one of my all time favorite Disney movies. And yes, the guy who wrote the songs for Encanto did indeed also write the songs for Hamilton - Lin Manuel Miranda has a distinct style and it's pretty much always a bop

The songs hit so hard that "We don't talk about Bruno" is #1 trending for music, that's how good it is.

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!

“Mirabel is a beautiful name” I agree and here is something I noticed right away in the theater it’s long but I promise I find it fascinating… first time watching this I immediately noticed this movies emphasis on sight, but the motif shows up exclusively within abuela and Mirabels dynamic. Their motif shows up in their lines when they’re talking to each other “until I lost sight of who our miracle was for…” “I can finally see” even abuelas opening line is ‘open your eyes’. As I kept thinking about it it finally hit me; sight is associated with truth and being the windows to the soul. This movie is centered around Mirabel trying to find the truth and abuela accepting things that she mistook for a miracle, becoming unclouded. It’s literally their journey into understanding each other and finding the truth and seeing each other for all that they are I.e ‘what do you see. ‘Me,all of me’. I also find it as a cool detail that abuelas name is Alma, which means soul, and if you shorten mirabels name to ‘mira’ it means ‘look’.

Dude, I can't stop watching your reaction to this movie, because YOU ARE HILARIOUS! This reaction was SO ENJOYABLE, Thanks for the laughs and the truly amazing take on everything. I REALLY enjoyed this! Thank you! X3

A little detail. In the table when Dolores said "He wants five babies" and flowers came out of Isabela's hair, Abuela took out the only white flower because "it wasn't perfect"

Antonio's little "I need you." gets me every freaking time. Every time.

Billy I think this is my favorite reaction! The way you enjoy the music is literally how everyone felt when they first see the movie. Lin Manuel is truly amazing. But I think my favorite part of the reaction is towards the end when Mirabel and Abuela are hugging. You are totally in a happy trance and then BAM BUTTERFLY!! Lol

If you notice in surface pressure when Luisa is struggling under the weight of all those doors that are lined up like dominos, the only one that she is actually supporting the weight of is her door. I just love the small detail that shows how getting her power really affected her, and to see her struggling under the weight of just one door when she is supposed to be the ‘strong one’.

Fun Fact: 1. The animators had to fight for Louisa to be buff. 2. For “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” the animators had it choreographed and dancers performed it. The animators then used the filmed dancing as references when animating the scene.

One thing I like about this movie is that they let the alto singers take the lead for once. It always used to seem like all female singers had to be soprano, and altos were relegated to backup harmony.

23:04 to answer the question of what: That's Jorge. He makes the Spackle.

The thing I love about movies like this is that either people from the same culture can relate to it because of their shared background, or the rest of us can relate to it because of the shared family dynamics and situations. I am totally just like Luisa, her song resonated with me to the core! I am the eldest daughter in a large family, and I was always the one holding everyone else up. I now have suffered serious health problems (recent kidney transplant) and have felt lost not being the one to carry everyone else. This was one of the best Disney movies in years, in my opinion!

As a latina, Billy butchering all the Spanish words is the funniest thing ever. It's 1am and I'm trying not to laugh, but he really changed the lastname "Madrigal" to "Magic grill" and somehow turned "arepa con queso" into "banana coconquesco". I CAN'T. Also, it reminded you of "Hamilton" cause Lin Manuel Miranda wrote the songsssss. Musical genius.

I think Casita is “haunted” by Pedro. I imagine as he’s walking toward the militia, the only thing giving him courage is picturing the town and house his family would grow up in and be safe in. And when he performed his act of true love by sacrificing himself, his soul got tied to the candle and house. So he got to help raise his kids and grandkids and be with his wife. So like, I totally agree that it was Pedro’s sacrifice that made the magic.

People never realize how heart breaking it is to give everything to someone that means the world to you just to realize that all you sacrificed will never be enough for them. After all you’ve sacrificed, you realized they’ll never appreciate all that you’ve been through just for them to keep demanding more not even acknowledging what you’ve been through just to try to have them just acknowledge it. Mirabel is so strong.

I think the house starts to break and the candle goes out because they represent the family relationships. When Maribel mended her relationship with her sister the candle burned brighter. Then her relationship with her grandmother broke and the house broke again. The grandmother values their gifts rather than the aspect of having a family and puts too much pressure on them.

To answer some questions: 1. It sounds like Hamilton because Lin Manuel Miranda wrote both. 2. Her mother healed her with an arepa con queso. It’s made with corn flour and filled with cheese, they’re really good and there’s recipes online but Colombian ones are different from arepas in other countries. 3. Her name is Mirabel. Her sisters are Isabela and Luisa and her parents are: Julieta who heals with food and her father who married into the family. 4. The other two adults are her aunt and uncle, and the rest of the kids are her cousins. 5. The instrument you were referring to is the accordion. It’s very popular in Colombian music, particularly the genre Vallenato. 6. Abuela or abuelita work. Abuelita is just in the diminutive, which sounds sweeter. Here’s some fun facts: 1. The guy Isabela was supposed to marry is voiced by a very famous Colombian singer named Maluma. 2. The second song played in the movie and the last is sung by another very famous Colombian singer named Carlos Vives. 3. Colombian families definitely center a lot around the grandmother, at least in my own experience since I was born there and lived there for most of my life. 4. In Luisa’s song, when the donkey’s are dancing, they’re on top of a very particular hat which is very common in Colombia. 5. The song played during the grandmother’s flashback near the end of the movie is called Dos Oruguitas, meaning two little caterpillars. It’s sung by a Colombian singer named Sebastian Yatra and the song is actually very very beautiful. There’s the version is English, and while it isn’t perfect, it’ll give you the gist of what the song means. 6. The violence the grandmother was escaping from is caused by a number of things, often terrorism in the country. It refers to forced displacement which many Colombians know too well, unfortunately. That detail is very personal so it added a lot to the movie, I think. 7. The majority of the food in the movie is definitely Colombian. The food the mom is feeding the people in line is called buñuelos. They’re really good. There’s the arepas. At the breakfast they’re eating huevos pericos, which are scrambled eggs with onion and tomato. There’s also arepuelas. At the dinner they’re eating a soup called ajiaco, one of my personal favorite foods. 8. When Mirabel gives the little kid, her cousin Antonio, the stuffed toy at the start, she gestures to the box with her mouth. That’s a little habit many Colombians have too. 9. When Dolores overhears Mirabel and her father talking about Bruno’s vision and Mirabel’s father says miercoles, it’s a tamer way of cursing. It literally translates to Wednesday, but when said in that context he’s cursing just not fully. 10. All the animals and plants can be found in Colombia, which is the second most biodiverse country in the world. Okay, I’m done. I wanted to clarify some cultural things here and there and answer some questions you had.

Can we talking about Bruno being a homie? Bruno resembles his father. He's selfless, loves his family enough to separate himself from them and 'sacrifice' himself if that means that his family would be happy. Just like his father did. He was described as Seven foot frame by Camilio (shape-shifting boy) probably because he was a kid and Bruno just seemed tall to him. Plus after years of hearing bad stories about it, it probably elevated that image to about seven foot, towering, creepy man.

I'm not gonna lie the best thing about this video to me as a spanish speaker was him trying to say all the spanish words like that to me was just way too funny especially at the end where he says "papi chulo" like that was the funniest thing I've heard all week haha!

33:23 I was the exact same way😂. Don’t you say it Abuela!!! 🥹😭

The plot of this movie is SO simple...the main character doesn't go anywhere other than her own house, no grand adventure, no villain to overcome or defeat...it's so simple....and yet it's so, so good. the emotional depth of it, and the relatableness of dealing with interfamily conflict and pressure...genuinely I'm impressed. you don't need a complicated plot or a standard 'hero's journey' if you land the emotional beats.

It’s HILARIOUS how he didn’t know/remembered Mirabel’s name when the kids kept chanting it during the opening lol

Btw the person who voiced Mirabel is Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99. Its hard to imagine, I know. Knowing her character XD

Billy's initial approach and reaction to the movie was exactly how my experience with it went (although he brilliantly picked up on a lot of the plot points much faster than I did). Fantastic review and commentary!

I’ve seen a lot people say that the reason Mirabel doesn’t get a gift is because she’ll be the keeper of the miracle after her grandmother passes and that she’ll be the new person in charge. The miracle/candle needs someone to keep the magic alive and that job will pass on to Mirabel :)

The fact that “We don’t talk about Bruno” has the feel of a Disney Villain song and is also the song that most clearly reveals the true villain of the piece is the pressure to appear perfect and the strain that puts on everyone in the family just hits like a ton of bricks.

This was, by far, the most entertaining reaction vid I've seen. Thank you for bringing your personality to this. You made me smile and giggle 😂 You're also very perceptive.

The reason why it sounds like Hamilton, is because it is the same song writer. The pressure song was a letter of love and appreciation to his own older sister for all of the sacrifices she made for their family.

6:11 Abuella’s tough on Mirabel because of generational trauma. Immigrant elders or elders who are obsessed with making sure their family will never suffer through similar hardships can be perfectionists, almost bordering on the extreme. They want their children and their children’s children to make “perfect choices” to avoid the trauma/hardships they went through, so they put a lot of pressure. Unfortunately generational trauma has a habit of continuing the cycle. I’m really glad this movie portrayed this type of common family dynamic very well and addressed what many families of this dynamic often fail at: healing.

Mirabel being pushed aside and ignored by her family just for you to forget her name for the first half of the movie is peak comedy 😂

18:41 we lost sound.

I've watched this video like 6 times!! I just love Billy's reaction to the movie!! 😂

1. What Julieta was making is an "arepa con queso" and is soooo yummy. 2. If you want to hear the song that Agustín was playing the intro in the piano look for "En Barranquilla me quedo" 3. I also love the songs... been singing it over and over XD 4. Antonio is her youngest cousin. He is the brother of Dolores (Hearing power) and Camilo (shapeshifting one). 5. Lin Manuel Miranda wrote the lyrics, same who did Hamilton and also work in Moana.

How billy says all the characters name: Mirabel: Esmerelda Abuela: Abuelita Luisa: Lisa/ muscle sister (thanks Incognito crush) Pedro: Petrol Bruno: Bruno Pepa: Girl Dolores: the sister who can hear/ pin drop girl Antonio: little boy Isabela: Mariah Carey Camilo: My guy Mariano: Dude Julieta: Jesus (thanks holly)

26:00 was a reference to Frozen Btw

5:35 Wow he can see the future...Also I like watching reaction videos about this because it's the *ONLY* movie that I can't stop watching again and again. I hope more movies like this come soon.

Luisa is my absolute favorite! I love that she's not a super masculine women like a lot of tv shows and movies do with their buff females. She still wears dresses and does her hair and likes unicorns and she cries and i love her

Fun Fact: Lin Manuel Miranda wrote the songs in this movie, in Moana, and wrote Hamilton!! So Billy got a good ear

That scene of Alma and Pedro meeting and falling in love with Dos Oruguitas playing makes me cry *every time*. Her absolute heartbreak is just (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)

“Every single song so far has been a bop” I mean there’s only been two, but you’re not wrong, the whole soundtrack is amazing

Fun fact: In “We Dont Talk About Bruno”, the part where Dolores is singing, you can spot what looks like Bruno sneaking around in the background. And then he is seen as Jorge bopping his head.

The part that hits me the most is the community singing back to them to lay down their load, we have no gifts but we are many. The fact that the community they had helped for 50 years came to help them at their most vulnerable time... It makes me bawl every time I watch it.

My girl Louisa's song "Surface Pressure" lives on my workout playlist.

8:14 OHH 😂😂😂😂

At this point the prevailing theory is that Mirabelle is the next Candleholder. Her Abuela did not have a gift, her role is to keep the Family together. But either because she is nearing the end of her life or because she lost her way, Mirabelle was called as the next in line to lead and keep the family safe and happy. The fact that the house gets newly build in her image and with her love and caring as "foundation" emphasizes that.

Last one. For a woman who does not have a magical gift, she has many gifts. Compassion, resilience, her optimism. Her ability to see the good in anyone Her ability to tell a story. Her bravery and strength. I know a lot of these are personality traits, but they still are gifts many wish they can have. The fact that the house, even at its weakest managed to get Maribel up to the roof while the family struggled and failed to climb up it.

“I still think she is the gift” That’s so wholesome!! 🥺🥺🥺

Mirabel: Arepa con queso Billy: BananaKa con kesco *spanish laughing intensified* made me wheeze

The shot of Bruno's 'plate' always just wrenches my heart.

This movie probably hit hard for a lot of people with a lot of dysfunction in their families. It certainly did for me. Often times our elders in an attempt to make sure we have better lives than them get to focused on their own idea of "better life" and end up pushing their families to the brink like this because they are so unwilling to see past their own experiences or In some cases its active narcissism and wanting to be in control of everyone and everything so that they can take the credit for the "perfection" they've made. Its likely why some people have a hard time stomaching the quick forgiveness towards the end because in reality that type of hurt doesn't just go away.

I've just realised how much I relate to Mirabel- I'm basically a third wheel in my family, I was the oldest cousin of 5 and was spoiled, then more came along and over time I became an extra person, and when I have an explanation, for anything I'm never listened to, the little ones are. This movie has never hit so hard-

i love this guy also iam new to this KZfaqr this guy make me laugh hard lol the familly song make me laugh lol, love this guy I am your bigesst fan ever at 28:10 was so fuunny she said hey bring hey bring

I love that Camilo remembers Bruno as having a 7' frame. Camilo is just barely older than Mirabel, and Bruno left shortly after Mirabel's door ceremony when Mirabel and Camilo were both 5 years old. Adults seem like giants when you're 5. Also, the detail of Abuela literally holding onto the candle so tightly on her door, in flashback, and in the photos on the wall when she's clinging onto the idea of miracle itself transitioning to holding onto family members instead at the end is just beautiful.

The soundtrack for this film is incredible and there’s not one bad song. Lin-Manuel Miranda really outdid himself.

You are seriously my absolute favorite movie commenter! I am a lot like you in energy and humor. I laugh so much watching your videos! Fan for life!

You're right about how all the songs in the movie are amazing. Thanks for this.

I also think that this movie was a good representation of intergenerational trauma with her Abuela experiencing trauma from losing her husband and how she was trying so hard to keep the miracle. She was trying so hard to keep everything perfect that she became difficult to her children (especially on bruno) and her grandchildren

Fun fact: The guy who voices Bruno (John Leguizamo) is also in Ice Age he voices Sid

Billy I literally love how happy you get when you hear good songs, and I'm so happy you love the songs in this movie!

Ngl with everyone having an existential crisis scene they coulda given Camilo a scene about how his shapeshifting gives him an identity crisis cuz everyone needs him to be someone else.

“Ya boy can speak Spanish” Doesn’t realize they are all calling her grandma in Spanish and that abuela is not her name🤣😭😭

I love in Maribel's song about how she's still apart of the family, she states "I would move mountains. I would make new flowers grow. I would heal what is broken." And she does just that. It was something I didn't catch until the second time watching it and I loved the foreshadowing.

7:39 That's a sign to the movie's main conflict: family pressure and toxic perfectionism.

I love seeing folks embrace and truly feel the music. The way it makes you feel, is the way Latinos feel 100% of the time.

I'm Colombian, and this movie felt like a beautiful representation of the diversity or my country. Abuela's story was so touching to me because it's based on real violence a lot of families have experienced here.

"If I was you, I'd be really sad." "Maybe your gift is being in denial." Damn fluffy boi was right kids are like little alcoholics-so honest it hurts lol

When Mirabel sings waiting on a miracle the voice actor for her was in labor while singing that song in the studio so she was actually waiting on a miracle lol

The animation of the grandfather is designed from one of the Colombian singers “Sebastian yatra “

antonio is hands down one of the best characters. that "i need you" scene folds me like a greeting card. i'm so glad you watched this billy, i loved your reaction!!

I adore "Waiting on a Miracle" because she says all the things she'd do if she could, and then through the movie she helps cause all those changes: moves mountains, makes new flowers grow, and heals what's broken. Also, most (all?) The dancing in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is a cha-cha

This movie has hella bops, realness to many families, the songs written by Lin Manuel Miranda are always a bop, and since this movie is centered around Colombia, you get the Colombian music from Colombian artists and Tia pepa is Colombian novelas and she’s an artist too. The arepas are a tradition Colombian treat, people eat them at any time of the day with anything.

I love your shirt and I'm so excited 🤩

Billy: "They're really trying to get me." Me, by that point in the movie: *full on sobbing for the past 5 minutes.*

in spanish "abuela" means grandmother and when you add "ita" or "ito" to a word, it either means "small" or is meant as a term of endearment. so in effect, abuela and abuelita are both correct 😊

ejejejeje when Mirabel Dad started to play piano, it's a famous salsa song in Colombia called "en Barranquilla me quedo" is a real jam!

Billy, I watched this movie twice in theaters and I have spent two years watching people react to it. I LOVE this movie! And I have NEVER picked up on it until YOU said it. We knew she was the gift, but you said "She gave him the tiger. Now he talks to animals. " SHE GAVE HIM THE GIFT TO TALK TO ANIMALS! It wasn't the house! It was HER! ❤

Mirabel's gift is empathy! That wouldn't give her a door because it's not a physical gift. But throughout the entire movie she comforts the family and helps them open up about feelings they kept locked away. First Antonio, then Luisa, then Bruno, then Isabela and lastly Abuela Madrigal. Without her they would have constantly kept their feelings to themselves and broken the family apart (even if we don't look at the miracle). The reason why I think she got is because on the night where she got the gift there was a "M" on the doorknob. Everyone gets their own letter so why would the door do that and then not give her a gift? In the end her gift was being there for the family. That's why she could restore the miracle, it's because she fixed the family.

So my boyfriend and i watched the movie And he actually told me about a theory about the family's gifts being something they loved doing in childhood. Before Antonio got his gift, Mirabel mentioned that he loved animals and when he got his gift, it was connected with animals. So we started to think of what the other members of the family did- Julieta: she most likely loved cooking with her mom as a little girl, her motto was probably "good food is medicine for the soul" or something along those lines. so when she came of age, her gift was healing people with food Pepa: she probably loved going outside to play when she was younger, no matter the weather. whenever she has a negative emotion, it could be because her mother always pulled her inside and yelled at her for playing outside in certain weather conditions (rain, snow, etc.), so she connected those with negative emotions. Bruno: He most likely made so many cootie catchers/paper fortune tellers and had a box just overflowing with them. When people asked what he was doing he would always say "i’m telling the future!" Dolores: she probably eavesdropped a lot when she was little, she always wanted to know what the adults were talking about because she wanted to seem like a young lady Camilo: he most likely played pretend a lot or like to mimic people since he thought it was funny Isabela: we both agreed that she would go outside and pick flowers to make into flower crowns or to give to her mom Luisa: we both thought it was so funny to think that she would try to pick up things that were much too heavy for her to help out or just throw rocks at people-

The scene where they give Mirabel her doorknob makes me tear up every time I watch it. I can listen to the song just fine, but as soon as I watch that scene, I start getting emotional.

Currently at 2.5 million views! Aren't you glad you reviewed Encanto? I am - love rewatching this one. Great review.

You're THE ONLY person I've seen react to this movie who recognized how Isabela was actually feeling BEFORE her song!!!

If I'm being honest, I think Bruno's exclusion is worse than Mirabel's exclusion. Mirabel is looked down on because she didn't have a talent at all. She wasn't the best. Bruno was looked down on because he had a talent that was unacceptable. His best *_wasn't enough._*

Ok your reaction to this is stunning 4:39 - 5:13😂 "Hes dIsReSpEcTfUl"

Yes, Billy! It does sound like the songs from Hamilton. Lin Manuel Miranda, the person who made the lyrics and beat for the songs in Hamilton, made the songs in Encanto too! That’s another reason why you should watch it.

I nearly bawled when I saw Bruno had drawn his own little plate 🥺

favorite encanto theory: The grandfather sacrificed himself for his family and Mirabel WAS given a gift. Notice how the cracks start appearing when she feels disheartened from her role, or lack of, in the family. Casita crumbled when she confronted her grandmother and her hopes of being accepted as a member of the family were crushed. when she loses faith in her family the house suffers. The miracle is family and family is Mirabel. Mirabel's gift IS the miracle

Man, your reactions are really gold! 🤣
