My theory is that Pepa was never learned to process her emotions, since she was always told to "calm down" and "stop being sad/angry/etc." No wonder she's always a nervous wreck!

also notice how Isabella's hair starts to curl a tiny bit more as it tussles during her "let it go" song moment. ....I think she straightens it as part of her "perfect" image schtick.

One thing I noticed is in the scene where Casita gets destroyed, all the other kids who were trying to get the candle were relying solely on their gifts. Isabella with her vines and Camilo with his shape shifting. When they lost their gifts they couldn’t do anything, cause it was all they knew. Mirabel was able to make it to the candle because she used her own strength and wits.

Thank you for paying attention to the lyrics of Surface Pressure. SO MANY people just hear a hype anthem and don't realize it's a desperate cry for help.

Isabella's hair does actually make sense. Like you mentioned, her father has it, her mother doesn't, and it's a recessive gene. So, it is entirely possible that Julieta has both a curly and straight hair gene, and has just passed down the curly gene to both Mirabel and Luisa, while her recessive straight gene got passed to Isabella. Since Mirabel's father has straight hair, then he would be giving the straight gene to all the kids, so Isabella ends up with straight hair.

There is an amazing amount of subtle details and nuances that foreshadow Isabela's later character development. You noticed Abuela removing the one imperfect white flower, but there's an utter wealth of expressions and meaning in that scene beyond that-- the sheer panic and discomfort on her face at the idea of having five kids with Mariano, snapping out of it as Abuela picks off the flower and smiling genuinely at her praise, then smiling more nervously/falsely as Abuela speaks of her expectations while straightening her posture and fixing her hair at the same time-- just, wow. I've seen plenty of people mention the flower, but I've never seen anyone talk about that whole fascinating and heartbreaking progression. Then there's the part in "The Family Madrigal" where Isabela is walking past Mariano and deliberately turns her head away from him, her half-hearted dancing with him at Antonio's celebration, her repeatedly singing "I'm fine" during the polyphonic section of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" as if she's trying to convince herself, her wide-eyed nervous reaction when Mirabel starts trying to rush the proposal along, the close-up on her extremely strained smile as Mariano proposes (she literally looks like someone is holding a gun to her head and threatening to shoot if she doesn't smile as hard as she possibly can) (...) it's awe-inducing how expressive she is and how many of these little details there are, and I know I'm missing at least a couple more that I can't recall off the top of my head. And *then* there's the signs that Mirabel's feelings about Isabela are more complex and ambivalent than her outwardly unimpressed reactions show. In "The Family Madrigal", there isn't even a hint of irony or resentment when she praises Isabela and calls her "the perfect golden child"; you'd never know their relationship is actually quite strained from her tone and demeanor right there. (Isabela's room is also the only one that Mirabel goes inside while waking the whole family up in the first part of the song, but while I'm sure that was a deliberate choice, I don't know what to make of it given that Mirabel seems to avoid interacting with her otherwise.) In "Waiting for a Miracle", there are not one but two times where Mirabel looks like she wants to reach out to Isabela but stops with a dejected look (comparatively, Mirabel does reach out and touch her mother, aunt, *and* Abuela, but doesn't reach out to Luisa at all), plus there's the line in the second half where she's clearly referencing her sisters as she spins around with colored lights blooming around her (mimicking what Isabela did when she was introduced). That's only further hinted at by what she says to Bruno after she finds out she has to hug Isabela to fix the miracle-- or rather, what she doesn't say. She doesn't say, "I don't want to hug Isabela." She says "Isabela will never hug me." She doesn't say "I hate Isabela" or even "We hate each other". She says "[Isabela] hates me". Then that frustrated rant that's obviously masking her nerves-- she puts on a good show, but beneath the jealousy and resentment, the clues clearly add up to the conclusion that Mirabel really admires and wants a better relationship with her sister; she just doesn't think it'll ever happen. I understand the writers revealed that they were close as children, too, which only makes it more tragic (and more joyous that they finally reconciled). I love the entire Family Madrigal to pieces, but I have to admit that my favorites are Mirabel and Isabela (as is probably clear by now), and I really wish the movie'd had more time to properly flesh out their relationship beyond what was absolutely necessary to make "What Else Can I Do?" work. A real heart-to-heart (and a real apology from Isabela) would've been great, too-- I think "WECID?" is supposed to fill both of those roles but it's too focused on Isabela's self-discovery to feel that way. Her subsequent failure to stand up to Abuela for Mirabel's sake afterward (while necessary for the story to conclude the way it did and tragically realistic besides) doesn't exactly make it feel better. Still, I love what's there already, and I could probably talk about them all day. I mean, there's that moment in "WECID?" when Isabela sings "I want to feel the shiver of something new"-- that parallels what Mirabel sang in "Waiting for a Miracle", and she even sang that right as she was looking at Isabela too! Mirabel's expression just *changes* when she hears that, and you can tell that's the exact moment she realized how deeply she misjudged Isabela and fully shifted from goal-oriented "I need to hug Isabela for the miracle" mode to empathetic "I actually care about your pain and struggles" mode. I just (...) I love this movie.

one of the most painful things in the movie is that Bruno told Mirabel that he got that vision when she didnt get her gift, meaning when she was 5, and now Mirabel meets Bruno when shes 15, so Bruno spent 10 YEARS behind the walls

If you put a picture of Isabella and a picture of Abuela when she was younger, Isabella is the spitting image of her, living her own live she never had through her, especially the fact Mariano almost look like her late husband.

I remember watching this and finding one of the most expressive characters in the movie was the Casita and thinking the Casita was the spirit of Pedro. It looks after the family and protects them when the house falls apart like how Pedro protected the family before he died. It would also explain why Maribel didn’t get a room as Maribels gift is taking care of the family, like Pedro, so her ’room’ is the entire house.

I've watched dozens of reactions to this movie. The Dos Oruguitas sequence always makes me tear up. Every time.

Ngl im kinda happy someone finally gets the name of the animals right. People keep calling the coatis racoons and the jaguar a tiger.

I think Isabella is supposed to be in the image of abuela. Her younger self kind of looks like isabella, with the straight hair, and Brunos prophecy about the hug could have actually been the hug w abuela as well, since the magic was destroyed when she argued with abuela, and the healing took place near the butterfly (which was in the prophecy as well).

I'm Colombian and I was so relieved when I watched the movie and it was really good because it could have been awful and then I'd be embarrassed. Loved this movie and thought it was also very beautifully animated. I enjoyed your reaction to it and subscribed. I hiope you've seen Coco since you are Mexican and they did a nice job on that one too.

I really liked your reaction. I enjoy seeing latina/hispanic/colombian etc people react to these kind of films. More so because im white and we dont have this kind of culture. I do understand and know a little about the family dynamics, but seeing people react to it who have the same kind of culture is great. They see the film differently and can relate to it. Plus, i always feel like im able to learn more about the cultures that way. Im not good at explaining myself but i hope you understand what i tried to say 😋. Also, i love your aura. Its very enjoyable to watch you 😊.

7:15 I have not seen anyone else point this out! Mariano does look like Pedro. Dios...I wonder if Abuela's enthusiasm about his proposal was a bit of projection on the married life she never had with her lost love.

My boyfriend and I cried through half this movie. It was so touching

I loved seeing your insight on this film. It's become one of my all time favourites. You asked a few times why Isabela is the only one with straight hair, but if you look at Abuela Alma, she also has the same. In fact, Isa has the same profile as Abeula and as you pointed out, Mariano is very alike with Abuelo Pedro. My theory is that Abuela sees a lot of herself in Isa and Mariano was the perfect match for Isa to marry so that they could have the future she was robbed of having with her Pedro. I feel like the design choices they made were very intentional when it comes to those two characters in particular as a way of visual storytelling and hinting at where Abuela's thoughts/POV might lie. I love that Mirabelle's "power" was her empathy and love and hope for her family. Her spirit and willingness to see her family for who they truly were was what was ultimately able to heal the family in a much deeper way than even Julieta's gift. In my opinion, Mirabel is the embodiment of the candle, a candle that some speculate held Pedro's spirit of hope and sacrifice, and that her love and spirit is what now provides the magic for her family. It's a beautiful film and so full of meaning and culture and I am so happy you enjoyed it.

Alma and Pedro also have straight hair so that combined with Agustín having straight hair it genetically makes sense for Isabella to have straight hair

Both abuela and abuelo have straight hairs. Julieta had the recessive gene from either her parents. Then she married someone who had straight hair too. Isabela and Mariano look a lot like abuela and abuelo when they were young. Which could explain why Isabela was stuck in the “perfect “ role, abuela was recreating her happy ending.

Abuela sees isabella as the perfect one because she reminds her of herself! Abuela also has straight hair

I saw a video of Cinema Therapy a good channel on KZfaq. They said that when Mirabel said that Abuela doesn’t care about the family is actually wrong. Abuela does care but sadly was blinded by the Encanto of the powers and La Casita. Both Mirabel and Abuela love the family. Definitely a good written movie and good music. Everything was good. Touched my heart a lot. I loved it.

The other large animal you were looking at was a South American tapir. There is also a Southeast Asian tapir (from Malaysia)but the body pattern is different. 😊

Great reaction not really my type of movie (although I do love Lion King). I'm a Native American (Cherokee) we too have a strong family structure...thanks for not doing Snakes On A Plane. ♥️

Me encanta ver gente latina reaccionando a ésta película jaja muy buen video, con muy buena edición y comentarios muy entretenidos e interesantes. Tienes una energía muy bella (: Saludos desde Argentina!

The grandmother has straight hair so if her mother has the recessive straight and the father has straight then Isabella had a 50/50 chance of straight hair.

Your coffee story reminded me when I was probably 7 or 8 I was fascinated by grandpa's coffee pot and how he used to drink coffee. When my grandma would pour my grandpa some coffee, she would give me a very small cup of straight black coffee and I LOVED it so every time I spent the night I would drink the tiniest bit of black coffee with grandpa in the morning. I'm a 32 year old married woman now and I have no idea how I used to drink black coffee like that. I can't stand coffee anymore and the caffeine makes my heart race lol. Then again I used to eat cottage cheese with green olives so I think I was just a weird kid🤣

When everyone else touch the knob the magic seem to come out of them... When Mirabel touch the knob the magic seem to go into her.. Mirabel gift was being strongest to reimbue the magic of the house cause the magic was fueled by love. The CANDLE burn down but there was a new candle storing up love in her heart. At least that's how I saw it.

I enjoyed your reaction so much! We had similar reactions to the movie. I'm Puerto Rican and I loved the movie. Thank you for watching the movie!

I'm not from a latin family but I can tell you my grandma sure has strong opinions over the family. I related a lot to this movie. She's definitely the matriarch and we all seek her approval. I was just out with my sister because she was shopping for a wedding dress and she invited our grandma. In the end, she ended up really liking this strapless dress with this gorgeous sweetheart neckline. It really fit her body type and she looked gorgeous in everything but she was really concerned about our Grandma's opinion. She said it looked beautiful on her and she ended up picking that dress. But I'm sitting in the back with my mom and grandma and they're whispering to each other. In truth, my grandma was really disappointed that she picked that dress. She didn't feel it was right to wear it to church. My sister originally wanted to have a wedding at a beautiful hotel but my mom and grandma ended up ganging up on her for that and made her agree to a church. I tried telling her that it's her wedding and she deserves to have what she wants. This is a once in a lifetime kind of thing and she should go all out since it's her day. But pleasing the family tends to have a very big influence on her, as well as me. I can say that as I've gotten older I've started to move away from it but my family means a lot to me. I have much closer relationships with my aunts, uncles, and cousins than many other people have and family is one of my core values. I dunno why I typed all of that. All well.

I really liked this reaction of yours! This movie is also beautiful every time I watch it. Your commentary is really interesting, especially at the end where you explained a lot of family issue-things.

I'm from Brazil. I think México and Colômbia have more in common (starting by the language), but I love the feellings this movie brought me. We are part of Latin America too, só ir was great! Mirabel looks just like my wife!

I loved this Movie so much it was so heartwarming🥲. I loved the message it sent out and my family loved it also. And I love the X-Men movies also they are so good and don't get enough credit. Also incase you are still wondering that one animal you saw is called a Tapir it is a vegetarian that looks like a pig and swims like a hippo but is actually a relative of both the Horse and the Rhino. And my mom always made soups 😋🥣

Thank you so much for this, I love watching Latinos like me (Argentina) react to Encanto! I cried with you, and it was posted on my birthday too, fun :D!

What ticked me off is that Alma did believe Mirabel about the cracks in Casita, but still humiliated her in front of everyone. Just shows how despicable she is.

This movie, really just called out my bad habits on handling things, I've tried to be perfect, I've tried to keep how I feel secret and feeling useless if I can't do anything to help and I would get blamed for everything before by other family members without doing anything. But about Isabela she reminds me soooo much of my older sister Mia, but she considers me the "golden child" and I just thought it was ironic.

I literally cried the entire movie but the songs are so good that I was just jamming trough the tears

I like that you pointed out that Mariano looks a lot like Pedro. Abuela might have picked him our for Isabela specifically for that reason. I think a lot of the pressure for Isabela to be perfect comes from Abuela living vicariously through her, wanting her to have the perfect life that she wanted, but couldn't have, with Pedro.

Isabelle can and always could’ve made all different types of plants and trees. However, Abuela insisted that she only grows “pretty flowers” for the community. So Isabella only knew about flowers.

I think the reason Pepa freaked out so much on her wedding day was because Bruno said “It looks like rain.” Which to some that means “It looks like a bad marriage.” So in Pepa’s eyes Bruno had a vision and said her marriage wasn’t going to last. I kinda see this as Bruno’s fault only because he made that joke to his sister who he knew had anxiety. Not hating on Bruno he just should’ve known better.

So much detail to notice in this movie. I could type for an hour. :) I love how the "Gifts" are reference to the roles people play in the family.

I fell in love with Encanto when I first saw it in the theater, and I have watched many, many reaction videos since. Yours was the best! Kudos to your editor! Well done! Tears are the honesty of the soul. There's never a need to apologize for them. Beautiful!

3:30 Actually its not, especially considering they would be close to newborn size. You can actually see this in real life in the news reports about Pamela Zeinoun, a nurse in Beirut credited with saving 3 babies during the explosion from 2020 and carrying them 3 miles to safety. Now, yes, Pamela carried the babies with their faces towards her chest, but you cant do that in the movie cause then the audience wouldnt be able to connect with them through their adorable faces. Also; Actually both Pedro and Alma have straight hair as well as Agustin so its much more likely that Isabella would inherit straight hair. Genetics are not simple and its basically a grab bag of what traits your going to get from the previous 2 generations who influence your physical appearance. I mean in my own family, my dad has black hair, my mother and I have brown and my brother has my grandfather's blonde hair. You cant really guess how these things will turn out.

Encanto is one of those movies that make me wish magic, miracles and superpowers actually exist. I hope the movie gets a series or a sequel sometime soon.

I’m happy the KZfaq algorithms brought me to you today. Enjoyed your reaction. Subbed.

Great reaction and insight. I'm proud to be your 1,000th subscriber. Can't wait to see what else you react to. Much love.

Un abrazo muy cariñoso desde Bogotá,capital de la tierra del realismo mágico y del encanto.

Thank you for sharing!!! Love this reaction ❤🎉

My family is caucasian and pretty loose (we're all over the map). Our parents didn't burden us with unreasonable expectations and let us be ourselves, so I never felt any pressure to conform to any particular norm--at least not through them. The greater society does a good enough job of making you feel inadequate already lol

Your video was amazing! ❤ and the reaction was perfect ❤❤

Well done, Ro, really enjoyed seeing your reactions. Feel like I've actually seen the whole movie by now. Regarding the family dynamic, yes, there are some things common to all families; the favored one; the attractive one, and so on. But here in the northeastern US perhaps the grandparents don't carry as much weight. They are listened to, but my memories of grandparents and older relatives is of them complaining about this and that, not very happy or kid friendly. I hope to be a wise and warmhearted granddad when the time comes.

This was a really great review. I have watched a few of these on other channels and you do not need to be embarrassed about crying. I have seen strong men sobbing into a hanky in most of the reviews. I am not Latina, but as the oldest in my family, I feel very much like Luisa. If I don't keep things together, who will? I like your sassiness, your empathy and your energy. Keep up the great work. One last question though... Where did Bruno find a horse in a village of Donkeys???

Yeah, this film does a good job at drawing out thoughts and feelings.

Abuela doesn't have curly hair either. Oddly, neither does Abuelo Pedro, so I'm more concerned about how the triplets *did* end up with curls! Maybe Abuela just spends the time every day to straighten her hair for some reason...? But then when Agustin married Julieta, she'd have the recessive gene hidden under whichever parent was supposed to be the curly-haired one, so one out of three daughters having straight hair is perfectly normal and expected. Or Isabela, as part of her need to be Señorita Perfecta, is the one who straightens her hair for the Disney Princess Look.

theres a theory that since isabella looks the most like abuela in her youth than any of the grandkids, all of abuelas hopes for continuing the family fall on her and she therefore is the "golden child". I assume its also why she arranged for isabella to marry mariano, who looks so much like abuelo, like you pointed out!

Great reaction, this is one of my favorites!

I watched this movie on repeat in 2023 as therapy, while having a mental breakdown from perceived pressure from my own father, society and sports. I really saw myself in bot Isabella, Luisa and Bruno

Fun reaction, thank you for posting!

Hola! This is the first video of yours I have ever seen, and I wanted to tell you I enjoyed it. Looking at the other videos you have uploaded, I realize this is not primarily a movie reaction channel, but I would like to request a couple more if that's okay? **The Book of Life** and **Coco** (because they focus on Mexican culture) and also **Inside Out** (since you acknowledged Pepa's struggles with her emotions) Gracias! ✌

love the message of this movie

Really nice reaction! ¡Gracias!

What’s interesting is Mirabel’s voice actor Stephanie Beatriz is reunited with her In the Heights costars Olga Merediz and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Lin-Manuel was sure busy throughout 2021.

Good editing and reaction. Well done.

Wow you picked up on so many things that I never even noticed. Well done. Your intelligence is off the charts.

Isabella has straight hair because she’s supposed to be the native representation in the movie, notice also the hooked nose and high cheekbones, it’s just to show how diverse the genealogy of Colombia is

It breaks my heart the look little Mirabel gives Abuela when the door disappears. Like, "What did I do?" -- I watch this movie once a week, at least. And considering I just watched like... 12 reactions back to back.. oi. Hahaa Also, the actress for Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz) has said that she had started labor contractions while recording "Waiting on a Miracle" - she had her daughter the next day.

I loved you reaction and I cryed with you too. (I am from Brazil 🇧🇷, and Love this Movie!)

I barely cry when i watch this movie, but when it gets to how Abuelo Pedro dies and Dos Oruguitas plays the waterworks start

I LOVE THE SHE USES 'Latin' instead of that horrific "latinx". Love the reaction

18:03 I don't even know lol. My family has curly hair and me and my cousin are the only ones with straight hair which is kinda confusing cuz both my parents and both her parents have curly hair so I don't know, genetics??? But in the flashback Abuela looked like she has straight hair so I guess maybe Isabela got that from her

It was so refreshing to watch this from a fellow Latina's perspective, especially someone who knew what a coati was! So many reactors think they're "weird raccoon things!"

Don’t hold back those tears. They are your natural waterfall of emotions. Let it out! ❤

I am not good at holding my tears back either, but I loved your reactions as they were so much like my own.

Antonio is my favorite character he is so cute and I'm obsessed with "we don't talk about Bruno" and I am a grown adult 🤣🤣🤣

It looked like Abuela's hair was straight as well as Isabella's father, so maybe it was possible that Julieta passed the recessive gene down to her. Loved the reaction btw!

12:40 It's a more recessive gene. Like Pepa. But if you pay attention to the newer version, you can see that Alma also has straighter hair. And Some say that Algustin's hair is also straightened, but you can't be sure because it's too short.

I love watching people react to this movie even if I've never heard of them I get a lot of people suggested for me as a first video to watch of theirs is in encanto and I love it I have found several channels that I actually follow this way now I believe before I actually saw the movie I watched about six people react to it

I loved your reaction. I would also like to see your reaction to Disney's Coco. It's so awesome and definitely have the tissues ready.

i see the Madrigal family as a pearlneckless, where all the members with a magical gift is one pearl, abuela is the lock and Mirabel is the string that holds is all together and make the neckless of all the pearls.

I love this movie so much! I might be obsessed with it! I alive all the characters but my favorite is Mirabel!

I love how his color scheme is Disney Villain Green. Also, check in the background during the whispering cousin's part during We Don't Talk About Bruno. >w>

Straight hair is a native trait. Abuela has very straight hair as well :)

What I loved about this movie is how it points out that families can pressure each other so much without even realizing it. My grandparents were our binding glue. When Grandpa died, the family started to fall apart - and when grandma died 2 years later, it was done. They were the only thing keeping our family a family, sad as that is. I was raised by them b/c my mother didn't want to raise me in the lifestyle she had chosen, but she was always in and out. I had them, my mom, my aunts and uncles....and now, I only have 1 aunt that really talks to me still. She was my youngest aunt, and was always a "black sheep" in the eyes of the rest of the family (but not Grandma...and mostly not Grandpa). The pressure of "belonging" alone can cause so much stress. And each of the cousins, almost everyone can associate themselves with one of them. No - we are not Latino, though my youngest aunt is married to a Chilean right now...they've been trying to get him into the US, but it's tough. However, family structure is a very integral part of the slavic region, where my grandpa's parents were from (to be specific, Poland and Ukraine - some would say those are not, but last I checked they are).

Nice detail at 12:26. I never would have noticed that.

Thank god, all the reactions I've seen to this and you are the first to recognize that its a Jaguar plushie she made him, I've heard people say tiger, leopard, lion, and cheetah.

Minha querida e amada netinha, adorou esse filme Adorei teu vídeo!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I think so too, that the guy looks like her grandpa and the girl playing the drums looked like her grandma. Isabella has hair like Augustin

Here's from Taiwan (and she is an island in Asia).We have a similar attitude of family relationships, the grandparents have more authority to decide (sometimes even the grandaunt and granduncle and so on, in the families who have lots of history).

This movie has a thiiiick layer of hints and Easter eggs, and some of them point out that Bruno is an exile even before it is stated that "we do not talk about him". At the beginning, Mirabel points at the family tree on the wall, and Bruno's image is much paler than the rest, indicating that someone (hem-hem) tried to get rid of it; and when the mural of the Madrigal family is shown, all the family members depicted on it have calm or cheerful expressions, except for Bruno, who is clearly anxious (if not scared)

When her father said he was thinking about his daughter, I don’t think he thought she wasn’t part of the family. It was because while he cares about the family, he was prioritizing his daughter over everyone else.

this movie and turning red both made me cry, tbh. granted my family is korean and not latin or chinese, but the underlying theme of familial pressure and generational trauma? yeah that hits REAL hard. never a dry eye when i revisit these movies

your hair is lovely

The part about Isabella's hair being (mostly) straight is interesting. In a sense I feel like, Mariano does resemble Pedro to some extent. Likewise Isabella looks like her grandmother when she was young. Meaning Abuela is living vicariously through Isabella. This might not have gone unnoticed by Abuela either. She may have spotted the resemblance. Hence why she's always right behind Isabella and arranging a whole marriage for her. Isabella not wanting this deep down is evidence enough. She was doing it to make OTHERS happy, not herself. We can also imagine that she's learned her attitude towards Mirabel from her grandmother, even saying similar things. "If you werent always trying so hard you wouldn't be in the way" Is pretty much the same as: "I know you want to help but tonight must go perfectly. So the best way for SOME of us to hep is to stand aside." The straight (ish) hair may actually come from Abuela herself.

In Brazil kids usually drink coffee and milk. Actually coffee and milk is also a slang for someone you shouldn't take too seriously,Ike in a game someone you should treat more nicely without being competitive.

Excellent movie. I could relate to Bruno, who nobody talks about.

Un nuevo sub espero ver mas reacciones tuyas Viva México

When the rocks hit Louisa in surface pressure you react with the exact same look Mirabel gives lol

I for one have enjoyed Encanto and I have viewed this movie many times. The pressure that Abuela Alma has placed on the Grandkids is most apparent on Luisa that her physical strength is being over used by not just the La Familia Madrigal but the village. The person who had his donkeys get out should have been his job to gather his donkeys and Luisa's. Isabella Madrigal is forced to be perfect because of Abuela Alma's desires. Julieta and her children gifts are more practical to La Familia and the community except for Mirabel's who appears not to have a gift. Yet Mirabel has the greatest connection to La Casita of any of La Familia Madrigal. I feel that the door to Mirabel's Room could not be handled by Abuela Alma or a Five Year old Mirabel. The door faded away to protect not only Mirabel but the La Familia Madrigal. When Tió Bruno had his first vision about Mirabel and La Casita he knew that nobody would accept that vision and that forced Bruno into hiding until he was discovered by Mirabel. The hug or reconciliation that Mirabel gave Isabella was just part of the vision and that hug of reconciliation was also needed for Abuela Alma. Abuela Alma never was able to return to the place of her greatest loss the loss of Abuelo Pedro. Mirabel's true gift did not need a door for her gift to prosper. Her gift needed a whole house.

Her name is Maribel in the Spanish dub.

When will humanity learn...perfection is nothing but a lie

I just want to say The order of the madrigal triplets is Julieta: Oldest Pepa: middle Bruno: youngest
