gurl your editing has me CRYING LMAO

NO ONE is the villain. I love how all the characters are flawed. And the conflict between them is the only real "villain". It's easier to be on Mirabel's side because we are watching from her POV, and the run time is mostly her. So, it's easy to villainize everyone else and flatten their characters into one note.

Luisa is my favourite character too

probably Bruno cause Hes such a sweetheart

I like Luisa too because of her sweet side hiding behind her strong appearance

And it seems he wasn't going to hide it forever, he said "until the Guzman's leave, you did not-" Yada Yada Yada, so he was gonna confront the issue but not until after everything was settled down as everyone was tense about the dinner

@@hazbinotakusimp2182 yeah, it’s all about timing! Communication and honesty is good but it’s useless if you don’t present it and frame it in the right way and at the right time ❤

@@luckybug479 precisely 😁

what his gift tho?

@@TRDRODDY the dads can’t get gifts because the are not the son’s of alma(ablua/grandma )

Wow, I didn't realize that! 😮 this movie is for sure the type you have to watch multiple times to pick up on hidden meanings✨

casita can go into the rooms, it can't affect Bruno's specifically for the same reason that his door stopped glowing. Mirabel has been in others rooms before but was still surprised that casita couldn't help inside Bruno's.

I thought it couldn’t enter his room because he’d been cut off from the family so his room was no longer part of the house. Mirabel even sounds surprised that casita can’t enter and I don’t know why she’d sound surprised if it couldn’t enter anyones room.

Nah, Casita can work in everyone else’s rooms. It just can’t help in Bruno’s because it’s basically a “dead spot” just like the space in the walls is. After he came back it’s likely the magic will start working in his room again.

Can we please not gender the Casita it's a house I don't think anywhere hits that the house is a girl and by whatever logic you stand by it's ok for me to gender the Casita a guy but I don't I say it or the house can please not gender non human or animals that can't speak

Yep and he's literally in the background of her verse. He's downstairs walking towards the stairs then he's upstairs dancing

@@J1ntu And before anyone pipes up that it could have been Camilo, the producers have confirmed it IS the REAL Bruno in those shots.

@@Valandar2 thank you! I've had people argue with me about that

@@Valandar2 i think they confirmed many things in twitter Like the ages(abuela is 75, triplets are 50 julieta is the oldest, pepa being the middle and bruno the youngest, felix is a little older, 51, while agustin is 49, younger than the triplets, due to his accident-prone, this is why julieta and agustin became a couple, both isabella and dolores being 21, isabella is the oldest of the grandchildrens, this is why she is needed to be perfect, while dolores is like a either days or months younger, and this shows that she is in the shadows of isabella because abuela likes isabella more, luisa is 19, camilo and mirabel is 15, mirabel is days or months younger because she was the last one to get a gift before antonio, and antonio is 5)

@@LorielSaysHi Yeppers, they did. Much of it would likely come out in some kind of "Art of Encanto" book, or a potential animated Disney+ TV show or something, but they did take time to actually make these statements.

Abuela probably has survivor guilt. She feels like she needs to live up to being saved and being given the miracle and the demanding townspeople only reinforce it since they come to the Madrigals to fix everything all the time.

Yeah, and she turned into the leader of the survivors to find their new home after pedro died and of course the miracle happening so she didnt had much time to mourn his death and prolly was pressured to keep up and help the townsfolk, due to her trauma, she had to have a perfect family if she and the townsfolk was given a miracle to have their new life and thought she had to put a facade and of course like you said she thought serving the community/townsfolk is to keep the miracle alive so she neglected the families feelings and built generational trauma, the house breaking after mirabel and abuelas fight is her realizing that their family is broken and realized the miracle was given because of pedros sacrifice and was given to have abuela had a life where she can live with her loved ones without any of you know what happened to her old village, she confronted mirabel and blamed what everything happened to herself and not mirabel when mirabel said it was her fault, she then told her mistake and never thought of why they were actually given the miracle, also someone said that the black scarf thingy is her way to represent she is still mourning and hasnt moved on, on what happened, and in the end of the movie she finally let go of the thing and has moved on

Wow

I've heard that before! It just sucks that people misunderstanding Bruno turned into him getting shunned away 😭

Even then, some watching thought Bruno WAS making a prediction, just one that would warn the family about something that could ruin the day.

At least we know that's not true, since Felix is a great husband and even called their "ruined wedding" a 'glorious day'.

That superstition makes it more touching that Felix still considered the wedding to be 'a joyous day' inspire of the hurricane

That’s actually true

did you know that camillos sister is the villan (im only 7 ok dont juge my spelling)😅😅

​@@luareneleano7818um how do you know

Abuela isn’t a villain but she is the main antagonist to Mirabel, she is basically the anti hero trope where they make poor choices but have good intentions at heart.

That should be a motto of the Madrigal family and many others...

Yes!💯 I had many arguments with my mom and grandma growing up. They would always compare me to how they were when they were my age, instead of allowing me to be my own person. Constantly holding me to a high expectation, I felt like I would never be good enough for them. This is a huge issue for many families, especially ones with immigrant parents. I’m so glad Disney did a movie about this.

Yes, exactly. I have been looking for someone with this realization. Although Abuela is the antagonist, she is not a true villain. It was never in her intentions to hurt anyone, but the pressure that she put on the family is ultimately causing the family to collapse on itself. And what many people miss is that not only is it that this pressure that causes Bruno to leave and is most seen put on Mirabel, but it is also what is the actual cause of the magic and Casita literally collapsing in on itself.

The real villain was THE COLONISERS

And Mirabel was right. The miracle is dying because of Alma Madrigal. She could never take responsibility.

I hate that a misunderstanding turned into him getting shunned by the family 😭

Bruno walking in during that part of the song makes me wanna meme the image.....😆

@@RukiyaReacts tbh it’s his fault bc he said that not knowing anything might happen

@@L4nii_Urmum Only because the family already assumed the worst about what he said. Even if they took it as a prediction, he only said rain. Rain could be as light as a sprinkle and at worst mess up someone's hair. Pepa made it a whole hurricane because of her negative assumptions about what he predicts.

@@genera1013 i think in some context ‘it looks like rain’ means that the marriage won’t last so.. might be more than just literal rain. i might be wrong though

Ohhh okay, that makes more sense! Thank you💕

@@RukiyaReacts :D yw 💜

@@RukiyaReacts I think the hug with Isabella was extremely important though. It was the start of the repair. The house collapsed after but that was necessary for the fix. As was the talk with Abuella which was the butterfly part of the vision. The house without the cracks was most likely the rebuilt house. Each part of the vision had a purpose

@@katonnor yeah this- it was the first time the house visibly repaired itself, and mirabel realizing that led her to act the way she did going forward

I get where your coming from, and your right. But, I think your also missing the significance of Mirabel and Isabella. The magic wasn't going away because Abuela was putting too much pressure on everyone, it was breaking because that pressure was making the family dysfunctional. Isabella and Mirabel's tendency to not get along was one of the largest manifestations of this, due to neither of them being able to show their true selves and appreciate each other for who they are. When Isabella and Mirabel finally understood each other and were getting along, it was almost like the largest step in healing their family, hence the cracks going away. This being said, the issue with Abuela didn't really exist until Abuela started to belt her frustration to Mirabel, in which the dysfunctionality of the family finally reached it's tipping point when it was attacked at its source.

Agree 💯

Kinda but not really. When the horse is doing what it's trained to do bareback is just less comfortable, but if it decides to buck or gallop without warning or whatever it's harder to stay on.

Yeah, lots of people think that they pushed her away from the picture, but if you look at the scene closely, it is clear that she stayed away on purpose.

Really?!

@@RukiyaReacts It has yet to be confirmed, but it fits the culture. It also explains why Abuella Alma claims "Bruno did not care about this family".

@@RukiyaReacts I mean, his room was a high tower with a long drop. And lots of sand for a body to vanish into

@@RukiyaReacts I'm Venezuelan (right next to Colombia), and one of my great uncles is "the one people don't talk about" but I just heard he was an alcoholic who dropped out and then died young If he had committed suicide, then he would probably be straight up treated like Bruno

I think this was implied in the original story for this movie too. They thought he died

No, this story is not about fighting a person but about handling a generational trauma.

​​@@Furiennaand you tackle generational trauma by getting through to a person. it's still them trying to get alma to be less demanding and overbearing. that's just how it is. she's the head of the house and the reason the household became so dysfunctional. mirabel managed to get closer to her siblings but alma is the one she really needed to say her speech to to get through her head that the family isnt going in a healthy direction

Exactly 😢😮

Thank you!✨

No way! 🤯

Oh wow! I wish wars didn't exist, it's such unnecessary violence😔

*Colombian

When people put others on a pedestal it sets them up for failure, it outcasts them, even if they are saying it’s a “good thing” you are “special” and “better” it doesn’t feel good to not feel like you belong and are just part of the group. And when those people who were put on a pedestal eventually fail (because they are human) people judge them so much harsher because they “thought you were better” but they never asked to be seen as “better” they just wanted to belong. Being put on a pedestal is still marking someone as “other” and not worthy of being included and seen as innately human. 😢

I feel like this version of events relates more to Luisa but I see where your coming from I guess 😢😢😮

Yes!! Because the whole time I was watching I keep thinking to myself that Prince Harry is Bruno and Queen Elizabeth is Abuela.

One thing I don't get is why people think the family excluded Mirabel from the picture, I see it as she excluded herself, they called everyone in for a picture and she didn't move, then she left and the whole situation with the house happened so it's not like they could take another one. I think she just didn't feel as much part of the family as she did later on. But that's just my take, the others definitely could have made more of an effort to make sure she appeared but they didn't flat out exclude her.

​@@laurainathunderstorm Actually, this exclusion factor was something I used from the many reactions of this movie all over youtube. Basically, most people who watch it for the first time see it as rejection from the rest of the family. I personally believe you are right to a point: Mirabel excluded herself, but she was happy for Antonio UNTIL Abuela's speech about how the gift made him special, etc, etc... the same words that constantly trigger Mirabel's trauma, and she heard it too many times that day. So, it was Mirabel self-excluding herself AFTER Abuela's (and the family's) repeated rejection and negligence. Remembering that wasn't the first jab to Mirabel Abuela delivered that day. Mirabel spent the entire day being remembered by Abuela and Isabela why she was unable to help. So, for me it was more like it was the one strand that broke the camel's back.

@@AnaReginaNica agreed, that specific date was just full of reminders, and even from outside the family, but ofc Abuela's must have hurt the most

@@laurainathunderstorm however, I totally agree with you in the fact Mirabel excludes herself from the family (probably BECAUSE of Abuela's constant reminders, but still), since on the other family's pic (the one in Mirabel's room), we can see clearly the way Luisa traps Mirabel in place to take it. So, it looks like she was trying to get away, but this time, Luisa noticed and acted. The movie actually shows a lot of "hidden" gestures from the rest of the family, trying to reach for Mirabel even against Abuela's influence: It was Luisa's in this case, but we can see it on Felix's decision to talk to her about Bruno (against everyone's, and most important, his wife's -who is his entire world and more- wish), on Julieta's and Augustin's challenge of Abuela's orders, on Pepa trying to enter the falling Casita to save Mirabel alongside her parents... They care about her, and try to compensate for Abuela's ignorance in some way. The thing is, Abuela is actually the only one Mirabel is seeking real validation from. That's why her parents' peep talk didn't work so much on her. It's sad it took Casita's falling and almost killing Mirabel (who was trying to save the candle -the only thing Abuela seemed to care for- ), and Mirabel running away, for Abuela to finally aknowledge and understand the crushing weigh she put on her and the rest of her family.

Ouuu thank you so much!!❤️

Very true! 💯

But she's not even an antagonist since this story isn't about fighting a person but about healing the generational trauma.

@@Furienna she’s firm against the plan Mirabel has, making her an antagonist.

@@NyikoDoris Kind of, but it doesn't mean that she has to be defeated by anybody. It is not that kind of story...

@@Furienna I know it’s not and i’m not saying she had to be defeated… She and the protagonist overcame their obstacle by being honest with each other. She was just somebody who was against our main character not actively trying to harm her, but she was the antagonist… The generational trauma was the villain, and that’s what I meant in my original post.

Awe thank you so much!!❤️

Could you elaborate? Because I'm not sure what American tiktokers have to do with this movie. And I don’t think Abuela is the villain. She just had a problem with control and image because she was afraid of losing “the miracle”. But in the end, she saw the error of her way and realized that her family is a miracle.

@@RukiyaReacts I'm glad you agree. Right now there are tons of tiktokers and posts on Instagram saying Abuela is unredeemable, that she is the villain, etc. It's like they didn't get the message if the movie and I suspect it has to do with economic and cultural values from North America, since all of these accounts are usually English speaking.

@@jaimepe4765 Yep, I've seen talk about Abuela being the villain. Sadly, some of this is coming from people who were reminded of their own abusive families by this movie.....

@@jaimepe4765 This is a kinda selfish and mean-spirited point of view. You have to understand that individualism is not a bad thing. Sure, it can be taken to a dangerous extreme. But some people unfortunately feel obligated to take care of their abusive or narcissistic parents. What you’re touching on is a culture divide. You might believe that abandoning your abusive grandparents or parents is selfish, but others might disagree greatly. Respect is definitely a factor in these relationships, but phrases like “respect your elders” and “children are meant to be seen not heard” are used to undermine children and make them SUBSERVIENT to their authority figures. Tiktokers, who are probably young people who either undergo abuse under their parents or grandparents or have undergone that, probably don’t like the selfish qualities of Abuela and maybe resent the ending of the film. You have to understand that times are changing. It was customary for children and teens to blindly obey their parents, follow toxic social and gender norms, and take their abuse for the sake of being loyal in the past, but times are slightly different now. Remember, blood is not really thicker than water. You sound a bit like a boomer with the whole “tiktokers and their individualism blah blah blah” rhetoric, and I can assume that you either parent like Abuela or are in family with a member like her. Just because she faced a severely traumatic event doesn’t excuse her actions. And just because she suffers from that kind of trauma doesn’t make her exempt from criticism, no matter if it’s harsh or understanding. Also, don’t you think that some people, especially young people, are tired of seeing movies where the responsibility of taking care of a broken family falls on one of the children? Children and teens aren’t meant to be the saviors of their toxic families. Instead, they’re meant to blossom into maturity and have a sense of pride that will assist them in this cruel world. I honestly think having everything tied neatly by the end really does a disservice to those who constantly struggle with having to live with and take care of Abuelas in their family. It’s like saying “you’re suffering now, but just keep going because she or he’s your parent, and you’re indebted to them”. By the way, for people to “project” onto Abuela, they would have to see something in her character that they already experienced from a family member of theirs.

You can be for your family without excluding your own family for being the "black sheep" Abuela was so hard on Mirabel for not having a gift when SHE HERSELF DIDN'T HAVE A GIFT and she basically had her family shun her son because she was scared off losing her home instead of finding a way to solve the problem like Mirabel. She was villian but she was passing toxicity down to her family and deserved to be called out on that SO SHE COULD CHANGE this we have to forgive our elders because when they won't even acknowledge their flaws just because they are our elders just creates more toxic people.

yeah it made me so sad for everyone just calling her evil and not extend their graces for her.

I don't think she's evil, I just disliked how she treated Mirabel and Bruno during most of the movie. But in the end, she saw her mistakes and apologized which was really sweet.

Okay , I wouldn’t say she’s a “sAiNt” , nor “sUcH a gOoD pErSoN” either , she’s a good person at heart , but needs a little work first.

Abuela is not a saint. She is human like all of us, she made a huge mistake and she regretted in the end. She was blind to the reality of Casita but she is driven by love and family.
