12:36 Thats the samething this girl told me when i was about to (REDACTED) Nevermind i forgot this a comment section lmao.. Great video bro

HIM BEING DOWN BAD FOR LUISA IS SO FUNNY 😭😭😭

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.

Its actually very subtle: her gift is the same as Abuela Alma's. She's connected to the house and family 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!

Also for Isabela’s case, I think you missed her point of being stuck perfect. She’s constantly being put into high expectations into being this perfect, elegant, golden child and she feels pressured to please the people around her. She sees Mirabel as someone who’s free of expectations while she has to keep up with high expectations. In the song, she’s exploring her identity and goes beyond this perfect facade and is finally being true to herself.

"Surface Pressure" is soooo underrated! But "We don't talk about Bruno" is amazing too.

This movie is very much for us Latinos, Abuela isn't a monster or evil in any way, she has real trauma from war, imperialism etc, the only way she copes is by making sure she never loses another loved one, and in typical fashion a lot of us would much rather fix our family than simply cut them off. She's a reflection of many of our parents and grandparents and I hate how so many people are reducing her to the "evil" character.

Ok but I love Isabela. Yes she’s a bit too harsh to her sister but I think it’s because she envy’s the fact that Mirabel can do so much wrong and be “imperfect” it not matter much whilst she has to always be perfect and be the family’s golden child. Which would include marrying someone you don’t want to marry for the sake of the family. I get that being perfect might seem like a dream but it just makes you miserable since you can’t truly be yourself and you can’t slip up once.

The fact Bruno never left and made his own plate to pretend his having dinner with his family because he still wanted to be close to them It brakes my heart everytime 💔🥺

isabela’s storyline is my fave. she’s the eldest grandchild & looks the most like abuela so she’s clearly her favorite. abuela has been putting pressure on isa to be perfect since birth because she wants isa to live the perfect life that she wasn’t able to! even down to wanting her to marry mariano who resembles abuelo pedro. abuela lives vicariously through isabela & it’s not until abuela addresses her past trauma & grief that she’s been pushing down that she’s able to view isa as her own person & give her the freedom to live her own life

I love how so many people have said they showed this movie to their toxic family member and then the family member says, "I don't get it. What was the problem? Who was the villian?" Or, "What was the plot?"

Abuela was never the villain. the “villain” is intergenerational trauma. Abuela suffered so much in her life that she was doing what she thought was best to protect her family. yes, she ended up hurting them more than helping them, but the point was not to demonize Abuela. It was that the cycles of passed-down trauma that are so normalized in Hispanic culture need to be broken by recognizing them and changing them.

The thing is, she always had a gift. The gift of being the magic itself, her door disappeared because her real door was the front one in the house, the house is her room Kinda hinting she has the same ""power"" as the grandma, the next matriarchal

I am from Colombia and there are several things to tell. The clothes are inspired by traditional Colombian clothing (each region has its style and the movie shows them) and the music has different styles for the same reason. The places that are shown in the film are places in Colombia, for example the house is located in the Valle del Cocora where you can see the wax palms and you can also see the coffee and banana plants, and the river refers to caño cristales also known as the river of 5 or 7 colors. These are all things you can only see in Colombia

The reconciliation scene made me cry. It's great to see someone who is old, proud and made sacrifices own up to their mistakes to someone they're supposed to be respected by, to someone who they had previously blamed for the things that went wrong. I don't see older people take responsibility often, especially in family. She did not ask forgiveness or say BUT or IF YOU HAD ONLY. She took sole responsibility and held her tongue on her pride. That's maturity to me.

Your reaction to Luisa was the same as mine I fell in love all the way with her during her song. She’s so sweet and wholesome and wants to help everyone and same

My theory for Mirabel's power is hidden in symbolism throughout the movie. The only other person in the family that doesn't have magic is her abuela. I believe Mirabel didn't receive a door because her room is currently occupied. The reason the door lit up at the end was to symbolize the magic/miracle being restored and the family being mended. If anything I believe Mirabel's power is actually to take over as being the "holder of the miracle" like her abuela is before her. In the final door you see abuela behind Mirabel. In the rooms at the beginning Mirabel's room is directly across from the "courtyard". Honestly if they went that route it would make a lot of sense for Disney to make a sequel. I dunno, just a theory of mine.

I love all the different messages in this movie. Luisa learned you don't always have to be strong and can take a break from time to time Abuela learned you can't expect everyone to be the perfect family members and there will always be flaws Isabella learned that you don't have to be perfect 24/7 and you can be yourself and let your feelings be known to others.

18:27 I understand why you said you don't care about Abuela's past, but it's kind of (a bit) undermining what they're depicting, which is a very real issue Colombians faced AND still face, about people being internally displaced forcibly due to violence or other factors, and it's taken a toll or had repercussions on further generations with how matriarchs, like Abuela in the movie, tend to act and put pressure on the family in fear of experiencing the same again and losing everyone. It's intergenerational trauma. It's meant to be something to care about, although it's still understandable it must've been with the narrative and execution while some people feel that way and just see Abuela negatively, but I personally didn't.

I've been waiting for you to do this one. Surface Pressure literally broke me as an older sibling. Like having all of that pressure on you and having to internalize your fears, worries, and anxieties while putting on a mask of happiness is the toughest thing. As a teen I was like, give it all to me, I can handle it, don't worry I got this, I can get through anything because that's my job. What I love is that this movie has someone that everyone can relate to. Some of us feel massive amount of pressure, some of us strive for perfection because that's what's expected of us, some of us sacrifice everything for our families, and some of us don't know our place or feel like an outcast. This movie really shows that it's okay to just be a person, that feeling broken, used, upset, or overwhelmed is okay.

Luisa: Singing about her pain and anxiety Him: *That’s hot*

“We don’t talk about Bruno” is the BEST song in the movie in my opinion

He only needed to see Luisa once to be willing to risk it all 😂

You simping for Luisa might be the most relatable sh*t I've ever seen and I love it. Also, Luisa's song speaks to my heart because it really is difficult being the older sibling. Having all these expectations that you have to fullfil and, if you don't do them or you do it wrong, you are seen as a failure.

Isabella isn't the one who broke his nose. She just lost control of her powers because the house was breaking

This movie made me ugly cry. Not even gonna front. Also theory: Mirabelle has the same “gift” as Alma. She’s the one that can perform the candle ritual to give the new family members their gifts. She’s the next continuation of the spirit of the family.

Him simping for Luisa the whole movie made my day haha 😂

Also, the fact that abuela didn't have the chance to properly mourn about her husband being unalived because she had a family and a town to take care of is just really sad. This movie is such a great representation of generational trauma.

My favorite thing about Luisa's song is that her voice in the beginning sounds like she's trying to be aggressive and as the song progresses she sounds lighter and higher and more natural, like she's trying less and feeling more, this move is precious.

The film also shows the family union that is a pillar of Colombian families (there are always exceptions) and when it shows that the grandmother had to flee her home, it refers to the situation of forced displacement that many families in Colombia have lived and continue to live.

When you realise Abuello Pedro was likely beheaded in front of Alma as the people chasing them had machetes and not swords. Machetes dont stab, they slice. That is traumatic for anyone

I just love how as the foundations of the family started to break so did the foundations of the house. Everyone was rebuilding that family foundation as they rebuilt the house... idk I just love that detail!

My two favorite scenes in this movie is baby head camillo yelling 'Mirabel!' and, as sadistic as it may seem, when you see what happened to abuelo Pedro. The legitimate anguish on her face was something I didn't expect from Disney! Love this movie

Encanto honestly has become my comfort movie. I'm not Latino but since I'm a black dude who got adopted into a white family at birth I always felt different. I never got the "gift" of not experiencing racism and seeing myself in every movie, every classmate and every teacher. Since I'm also the youngest I constantly heard "Oh Let the others do that, you're just in the way". Especially Isabela hit hard because my older sister is basically the same (except for the fact that she put expectations on me because of HER talents). So this movie was amazing to watch because I could finally see myself in something, even if it's not directly about the skin color. But it's nice that they're not Caucasian!

I have a theory about Mirabel. So when the Abuela dies who will give gifts to new family members when she’s gone? Maybe Mirabel wasn’t given a gift because she was meant to get the Candle when the grandmother dies and passes it on and on and on throughout the family’s future members. Maybe when Mirabel becomes older she will pass the candle onto one of her grandchildren who might not have a gift

You being down for Luisa is A MOOD! Love her 😅❤

I relate to surface pressure a lot due to me being the oldest sibling of eight who grew up in a abusive house I always saw it as my job to protect my siblings so they could stay kids even just a little bit longer

I think this is my favourite Disney movie. The songs are all bops, visuals are stunning, it isn’t distasteful and problematic, it’s culturally accurate.

The fact the he mentioned the Schuyler Sisters in the video makes sense to me now why Dolores likes Mariano, but Abuela wants Mariano be married to Isabela. I think it is because Lin-Manuel Miranda is the songwriter of all the songs, especially in the "We don't talk about Bruno" part.

Mirabel is honestly, in my opinion, the most perfect character Disney has ever made.

The amount of men crushing on Luisa instead of "perfect" Isabella makes me happy.

Isabella literally clawed her way to my top favorite characters. She wanted to be emo so bad and I felt that but before I wanted to punch her for how she talked to mirabel and guessed her problem was she couldn’t be herself

Surface pressure is my favorite song because it is the most relatable song. Also young abuela looks a lot like isabela so the vision may have been talking about abuela all along

DUDE. Stop making me laugh! I just got to you calling Luisa “mamasita” and I just about died. XD

I LOVE that you recognised it was a jaguar! One reactor called it a tiger and even Disney+ said ‘leopard growled’ at one point in the subtitles!!! Chuckling at your comments so far- will get back to watching the rest :). Edit: until the scene in Antonio’s bedroom where you called it a tiger, too! 🤦‍♀️😂

I think you missed isabelas point she was always held to being perfect because of abuela

While Encanto is really one of my most favorite Disney films, I do give credit to it for being a successful film. It’s got a good family story, and an excellent soundtrack (my favorite being “We Don’t Talk About Bruno).🙂

Yeah, bud. I do want you to notice the enchantment to the candle and the landscape happened right after her husband died. Her husband is a ghost and haunts the house, to protect the family and their future. He sacrificed himself out of love, so they can keep going and move forward.

My feelings are complicated. Abuela is not a villain, but she is certainly an antagonist, although the real "villain" of this story is the family's intergenerational trauma and inability to communicate effectively. There are some days where I feel like the kindness and understanding shown to Alma was so beautiful, and other days where I almost wish they hadn't forgiven her so easily. Alma had unaddressed trauma, and that led to her causing trauma to the younger generations of the family. She's not a bad person, but she wasn't kind to her family, and while that's not ignored within the context of the movie, it is often ignored, or amplified to extremes, in discussions of the movie.

I think part of what was causing the cracks in the house/their foundation was because they were shutting out Bruno. Their own family member.. a piece of the house, was missing. It took Mirabel to mend it. Mend them😉 they all needed to be together again and everyone else already said plenty about what Mirabel's gift actually is. She's like her Abuela

Can we talk about how nice the Guzmans are? Perfect for that family because they already saw how chaotic that family was in one dinner and were still like, "Alright. We can do this. Let go fix a house for the person who broke your nose twice and ruined my best dress and hair with indoor rain."

So funny that you made the Eliza and Angelica reference considering this is written by the same guy who wrote Hamilton hahaha

Oh my gosh, first time watching this channel as I am just satisfying my love for Encanto by watching tons of reaction videos, and this by far is the best one! I'm only halfway through the video and I'm a fan! Super funny and endearing reactions 🤣

Abuela isn't evil. She's traumatized because of everything that she's been through, so she holds on too tight and expects soo much from them. And the expectation that is put on Isabela to be perfect is what keeps her from being closer to Mirabel. They envy each other.

Casita is basically just Monster House, but without the horror.

Fun fact: Parents in Columbia actually give their kids coffee.

7:58 EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING- I'm surprised a lot of reactors didn't get reminded of Monster House at that part. That movie freaked me out as a kid wtf, I love this house way better KDHDJDJSK

Disney make this history so emotional and beautiful because they know that no matter how many suffer that cause us we like it and that we gonna still watch it

You having heart eyes for Luisa the whole time is so wholesome.💜💪🏻

She does get her power; her power, like the grandmother, is to be the foundation for the family. But like you said, the first foundation was built out of turmoil and fear. And trying to hold things together, the grandmother unintentionally was making it worse because of what the family was trying to live up to. Now they have a new foundation, one based on love and the strength of the family for everything they are. This is basically the same lesson as Frozen, they are just told in different ways: the non-magical person bring stability and love for the magical one who is crumbling because they're based on isolation and fear. Once they get the foundation from the person who loves them for who they are completely, their abilities, their lives, all get to working beautifully together. Mirabella is Anna.

Lost it when you said "MAMACITA" to Luisa, you definitely have a hard crush on her xD. She's my favourite character too, btw.

8:33 her mother was trying to be sweet but she didn't believed her anyway, between that and the grandma KNOWING there was something wrong but denying to everyone and humiliating Mirabel, I was literally bawling my eyes out

I cried like a baby during the song at the end with abuela. My brother walking in on me and asked what’s wrong, but I couldn’t explain it so he just looket at me funny. For context I’m 20 and he is 15, so he thought that I was having a nervous breakdown

honestly i related a lot to a lot of characters in this movie for so many reasons and being in a somewhat…difficult, let’s call it, dynamic w my own latine family, it hit so close to home for me, the representation is just so good, i love this animated imperfect family with all my hEART.

This is by far one of my favorite Disney movies. I know we can all relate to the family in one way or another. I’ve watched it 5 times and it still makes me cry. 🙌🏼😭♥️

I think in the end Mirabel did get a gift. Or she always had one. The love for her family that recreated the miracle. The same gift as her Abuela which created the miracle in the first place. Mirabels love holds the family and the house together, so her door is the front door.

Dos oruguitas just broke me so bad, if my eyes tarnished with tears with Toñito ceremony because Maribel “Dos orguitas” was the bomb 😩🌈✨❤️ Hello from Mexico by the way, sorry for my english is not perfect😩

I haven't watched this yet but why is her as a kid the CUTEST! I'm so watching this later today lol

Your channel literally fills me with so much joy please keep reacting because you’re amazing

Haven’t seen anyone else comment this so maybe I’m just imagining it but I reckon those few seconds where Mirabel is getting dressed to go save the Miracle (before she stops and ask herself…wait, how do I save a Miracle??) that little bit reminds me SO much of Mulan as she’s getting ready to leave home with her fathers armour. The music seems very similar and it shows her feet walking the floor similarly plus just the fortitude and determination the character shows too. Anyone else?

20:29 I don't think Mirabel is given a power in the end. When we finally see the flashback of the original miracle it seems like Alma in her grief enchants the candle and equally Mirabel enchants the front door. From these enchanted items they manifest (the house and) the gifts for their family members. So besides Mirabel's many talents (singing, parkouring, embroidering, and most importantly understanding and leading her family members) I think she has the same magical powers that Alma has while the others can only rely on them to share some of it. It is also in the song Dos Oruguitas (which is afaik given in the credits in the dubbed versions for non spanish speakers). When the song starts out it seems like Pedro and Alma are the oruguitas/caterpillars who have to part and transform into mariposas/butterflies just as Alma transformed herself into the leader and protector of the community of the Encanto. But in the end we see that Alma was still inside her cocoon protecting herself from the outside world and her past. Mirabel and Alma had to let go of trying to control/earning the respect of the other to transform. Then again I think that the house is not siply concious but also a time traveler. Think about it: it manifests around Alma and her children before it is properly built. BUT most importantly there is a collection of photographs of each (grand) child opening their door: the doors already looked the same when the kids got their gifts; only Camilo is a teen on the door and Antonio a child. Because they show them around the time when the house is destroyed and (re)build.

I have to say Disney actually got truly deep with Abuelo's death, because that is actually accurate

YAYYYY ENCANTO REACTION!!! Love this movie

i love Luisas song. the lyrics tell you so much about her character but everyone's too distracted by the visuals to pay it any mind, which i think was the purpose of them being so out there, but

The whole soundtrack is 🔥🔥

Lmfao Luiza is who we shall protect till the end of time

Some people theorize that Maribel Powers is she’s the heart of the house itself and the candle is the heart and soul of her grandpa

I like how in love he is with Luisa🤣 I am too honestly🥰

Wait, oh my God, I just had an idea for a theory. What if, hear me out, what if the house is alive because the spirit of the grandfather is inside of it so that he can always watch over and protect his family?

When they say "We don't talk about Bruno!" it reminds me of Luca when they say "Silentio Bruno!" Or however you say it

I’ve felt like crap all morning long this makes me feel better

Also dammit Disney and your private army of professional onion cutting ninjas

change the title to Movies In Depth simping on Luisa for 22 minutes and 38 seconds

i’m SO glad that 1. Mirabel didn’t get a power at the end, and 2. the house didn’t magically build itself again. it was so sweet and refreshing that the whole town gathered to build the house from rubble, and Mirabel never needed a gift to be special ❤️ i’m in love with this movie

I’ve heard two theories about the state of Bruno’s tower: either it grew in response to the distance between himself and the family, or he asked Casita to make it as hard as possible to access when he ‘left’, to make sure no one found Mirabel’s vision

Luisa: breathes Movies in depth: step on me Me: subscribed Hotel: trivago

Yo. Your reaction to this movie made me laugh/ cry. I relate so much with Luisa (aka. "the strong one") in so many ways it's uncanny.

I want Disney to make film named Luisa vs Mr Incredible.

YEEEES!!! im so happy u finally reacted to one of my all time favorite disney movie!!

It’s so cute and funny how he was simping over Luisa the entire time she came on the screen😂, and I love it!😊❤

Ugh. I'm not even immune to Dos Orugitas when I'm watching someone ELSE watch it. 😭

Welcome to 🇨🇴 !!! Glad you enjoyed.

Brought to you by Disney+ starring Maribel who is the only member of her family who has no abilities. When the village is having some sort of issues it is affecting everyone. But who is the culprit behind it all and why is it happening?

"You are not allowed to do this to me until the last 15 minutes of the movie!" ... Oh, just wait...

Wait, did he just say “what is wrong being stuck to be perfect”?! 😂😂😂 dude!

honestly your thirst over Luisa is probably the most relatable thing ever tbh

"He just head-butted his way through that door!". (17:25) I know someone else must have said it, but: Ahem. That is a *wall*.

“I don’t care what happened in your past” (Literally just watched her watch her husband get slashed with a machete.) BRUH.

YEEEEES, I WAS WAITING FOR THIS.(Andy here btw). (Edit after watch) -the music is inspired in different colombian music. -this movie was originally tought to be centered in brazil (almost got it haha) -the person who voice mirabel is Rosa from Brooklyn 99. -also we have 2 headcannons. 1. Mirabel is an extension to the casita thats why she dont need a door, cause when they get a door, the room is not part of the casita. 2. The miracle candle is the spirit of the grandfather, thats why it got a buttlerfly and the problem with it was that abuela Alma was getting lost of who she is and what is important hurting the family, so the grandfather spirit was getting weak.

I saw this movie for the first time like a day or two or something after it went on Disney+. And it’s so extremely good love the storyline and all.💜 Also love your videos keep doing you!💕
