The part where Pepa forced herself to smile when her mom walked past her…

IM crying. SOBBING. The scene where Pepa sees Antonio with the rat and think about Bruno? literally killed me. Fuck I'm gonna sob in a corner

this is so emotional to me. like, pepa and bruno being close when they were young but as they grew she began to doubt him. then when he leaves shes distraught because she kind of blames herself. like, the pain of him going is so big that she refuses to even talk about him. its easier to be angry than deal with the pain. plus, she had to push her emotions down ever since she was young so she cant process her guilt and sorrow. i just love this storyline. like, bruno leaving and pepa frantically running up the stairs gets me every time. its drawn so well, wow

1) the last panel all on its own was enough to make me almost cry 2) this made me realize that it makes sense for pepa and bruno to be really close, since I imagine julieta would be filling the role of “second parent” and a kinda helper to abuela when building the village. As the eldest (if I remember right) and the one with the most useful gift, she would be put to work almost immediately, leaving bruno and pepa to become bbfs on their own

I don't often cry over animatics, comics etc. But this had me full blown sobbing for a good few minutes. This was a wonderful piece of work, I really adored this. The whole "I'm sorry" bit with Pepa storming was def a fav part.

NEW HEADCANONS: Bruno loves thunder and rain. Bruno has a slight enhanced intuition, he uses it to sense Pepa’s emotions to warn her for thunder. On her wedding day, he used it, but it tripped her off the edge after Abuela’s nagging.

You know what they say. It isn’t a fandom until it has at least one “Two Birds” Animatic. Also, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!

I- You made this so well, it fits them so well. I hate when people are like "pepa doesn't deserve his forgiveness " I feel like they don't realize how close they were or how much it must've hurt losing him. This animatic shows their relationship so well to the point I think this could be the canon. I wanna congratulate you on making an emotional master piece. I thank you for your work

I think it can be so easy to forget that Bruno left when he was 40, and spent most of his life in the family. An amazing, heartbreaking animatic, I loved every second of it.

No wonder pepa was the first to hug Bruno when he came, even if it was just by a little bit. She also looked more emotional than surprised when he came back at the end of encanto, as if she never let go and sort of all ways kept hope that he would have come back. She was also other first one to tell mirabel not to talk about him in “we don’t talk about Bruno”, and in this case might have faked that it was because he crashed her wedding accidentally, but really it was because she really wanted him back deep down. (JUST A HEAd CANNON IDK)

I never really imagined such a close relationship between Bruno and Pepa, but there may be a reason. Due to her character, personality and gift, Julieta would not be so corrected by her mother, she could have been the favorite for a while, which made Pepa and Bruno very close, honestly, although I imagine the three of them as the inseparable trio of children they are also very likely that it was only part of the two of them.

@1:29 Pepa is smiling at Mirabel and Camilo while Bruno tells stories cause they remind her of both Bruno and her

If encanto gets a tv show I want pepa and bruno to just be absolute besties, yeah julieta is also there cause their triplets but I just wanna see these two have this "two siblings plotting something against their sibling" kinda vibe cause I feel like they were intact this when they were younger and I be dammed if their not

the fanon that they were both ostracize because of their gifts not being as helpful as Julieta's makes me cry in the best way

2:56 Absolutely love when people make this comparison

I can’t believe that I’m just now realizing how much Camilo and Antonio resemble Bruno. Pepa must see her brother in them every day and miss him so much 🥺

This is such an amazing animatic!! I always love content with the triplets with their dynamics and their own trauma. I love the idea that Pepa and Bruno were closer because Alma favored Julieta more. Also even though Julieta wasn’t the focus in this I always had a feeling she went through what Isabella went through being seen as the “perfect” one which caused her to not be as close to Pepa and Bruno. All of this makes a dynamic sorta like how Luisa and Mirabel are closer than Isabella is to either of them.

I can’t believe my sister sent this to me without any kind of emotional preparation or lead in. I’m in shambles

I'm not crying it's just raining on my wedding day. (god this was wonderfully made. Fantastic introspective on the triplets' dynamics, on julieta being the favourite child which left pepa and bruno to support each other, and then bruno and pepa having a wedge driven between them because of the wedding incident. the last shot broke me. I'm sobbing for real. incredible.)

This has broken me in ways unimaginable to mankind. I will never emotionally recover from this and for that, I thank you. I'm also incredibly impressed you managed to animate the whole song and with such amazing detail too, you're a full blown deity

now draw them reuniting and being happy together again to cure my angst after this animatic broke my heart

Crying sobbing throwing up when it transitioned to antonio bye

OH MY GOD THE IMAGERY IS IMMACULATE WHEN ANTONIO IS SEEN IN BRUNO & THE ONE AT THE END WHEN THEY'RE LITERALLY SITRING NEXT TO EACH OTHER IM GONNA SOB AND DIE

Pepa is my favourite character 😭😭😭😭😭😭 during the end when Bruno says “let it in let it out let it rain let it snow let it go” makes me think that before felix of course, he was her only real support (and julieta obviously but i feel like bruno related to her on a level julieta didn’t) and when he left i can only imagine how much it hurt

Me: i never cry over a animation Me 3 hours later after watching this 40 time: **emotional damage**

The transition from Bruno to Antonio KILLED me

So you really came out here to rip my heart out my chest, huh?

alright. who else knew that a movie this good would have sad fan stories like this? and unsurprisingly, like Pepa, I'm basically drowning in my own tears.

This is so good! This is the thing i have Been missing in this fandom. Pepa and Bruno relationship. People seems to assume that they werent too close but i simply dont think Thats possible. Arguments are that Pepa was the one who said „we dont talk about Bruno” while Julieta didnt speak badly about jer brother. I always felt that she say „we dont talk about Bruno” not because she hated him for his visions.(i think she sang about her wedding to give Mirabel an idea about how his powers work, not because she was holding such a big grudge) I think she said it, because his name braught too much pain. And Pepa is the person who has to be most careful with her feelings. She couldnt forgive Bruno for leaving until she saw him again. Unlike, calm and reasoning Julieta, she is very emotianal and of strony opinions, she didnt think much about why he Did that (like her sister) she jest couldnt bare the fact that her only brother left her.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS HASN'T GONE VIRAL I- I'm over here legit sobbing over this masterpiece. It's so beautiful and touching and hits right in the feels. So yeah, thanks for tearing my heart to shreds, if it had to be done this is the best way it could've happened.

I love crying over movies i've never seen

HEY WHAT IF I JUST *(STARTS CRYING)* oughhhhh the way u portrayed them growing up together!!!! as a triplet this isn't ALLOWED!!!! it's too sad!!!! and then pepa racing up the tower but it being too late and the flash of bruno to antonio..... AND THEN AT THE END.... amazing work, i'm going to rewatch this so so many times

I AM IN TEARS

I just realized that without Bruno or Mirabel, with her gift, Pepa is the next logical person to be the Madrigual family scape goat

This is gold! Makes total sense for them to be close and then grow apart as Abuela starts to expect more from Pepa and Bruno just makes his own way not wanting any of this. Eventually they become distant because Bruno is now seen as bad luck and Pepa wanting to make her mom proud just keeps her distance from him. But when he’s gone she instantly regrets it and to not suffer his loss she transforms her sadness into range focusing only on the things he did that made her upset like “ruining” her wedding

What? Hey! You can't make me cry like this

I was okay and then the transition from Bruno to Antonio happened and broke me-

IM CRYING SOBBING AND EVERYTHING Animatics never usually get me so emotional but this one just OMG When Pepa saw Antonio with the rat and got reminded of Bruno I just.. AAAAA I'm crying fr

This made me cry like nobody's business. Every frame you drew was so carefully thought out, everything flowed together so well. Thanks for sharing 😌

i don't ever cry. but this had me almost in tears :'(

I could *hear* her yell for Bruno. Bravo.

this needs more views ABSOLUTELY ASTOUDING ART AND STORY TELLING

I've never cried so hard over an animation, bro this seriously reminds me of me and my sister:((

I started crying when it showed Bruno sitting alone at his table in the walls

Aw, they have a sweet sibling relationship, it would be sweet if this is canon in Encanto.

It's so good! It makes sense that they would have a special connection since both their gifts weren't seen as as helpful as Julietta's. I especially liked the moment with a rat, when Pepa smiled because Antonio's love for animals reminded her of her brother. It was very sweet. Awesome video

i will be crying over this for the next century, no big deal

Holy crap I was NOT ready to cry tonight.

I love this so much it gives you a whole new perspective on Bruno’s pepa’s relationship and I like that

my therapist will hear about you

No tears stay up Don't fall.. 😭😭

Not me sobbing over this masterpiece 😭.

this broke me in the best possible way

Still mesmerized...... plz keep working

This is absolutely amazing, incredible, and thought provoking! I can tell how much effort and thought you put into it! Truly, really, beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!!

I've never cried at an animatic before. Never... Until now. This is gorgeous but also heartbreaking

An animatic has never made me cry before, congratulations

Although dont get me wrong this is a beautiful animatic giving insight to pepas and brunos relationship, but i really do wish we got to see some of Julieta's perspective. I feel like if she would have to grow up early then she would start having a sort of motherly love towards her siblings (motherly is best way i can explain it). Pepa and Bruno i feel like they would be close in the way you interpreted it definitely, as friends, playmates, *siblings*, but as many others have mentioned with Julieta having to have the role beibg so nurturing, and hardworking causing her to develop those feelings earlier would cause her to act like that towards her siblings as well just a thought

im literally in love with your work. me and this animatic are getting married i ADORE this. the story is CLEAR and HEART WRENCHING, and you capture all of their face shapes and features so well!!! 2:54 is a HEART BREAKING transition.

I am in awe! I had never really considered the depth of Pepa and Bruno but wow did this open my eyes. And it's so amazingly beautifully drawn as well! Expressive, full of motion and life! Well done, I'm going to watch it a few more times now

STOP IM SOBBING literally the moment of *realization* that Pepa (and I think Julieta) has before bolting up to Bruno's room, with her sobbing and showing all of their memories has ended me and then ofc we have the other part where she's smiling at Antonio playing with one of the rats, panning to the last moment of the two of them separated by the walls this animatic has ruined my life (in the best way possible)

This animation was mind blowing!! I never knew that bruno loved Pepa so much!❤️ I love the parts when they were little.

This put the idea that bruno started wearing a runa so he could sit in the rain with Pepa distroys me

huhu i just realized that pepa was holding the box of antonio's things at the last part so it was after "We Don't Talk About Bruno" when she let out her inner dismay for bruno

no bc animatics dont really make me cry but this actually was so good that it made me cry

From the fact that Peppa was the first to hug Bruno and that she hugged him very hard, I had already concluded that Peppa and Bruno had a very close relationship with each other since Julieta was the golden child! But after seeing this animatic, I'm glad I'm not the only one to have this point of view!

animatics either make me cry and mad or make me love bruno this did bolth "snif" GoOd JoB "snif"

I had a dream a wile ago that Pepa and Bruno as kids were talking on a roof together. She was troubled by something and he was comforting her, it was very cute and wholesome

This is so heart-wrenching??? I am in tears 😭

Ok, how dare you make cry? I hope you pay my terapy because this ended me pal! Good job!

I love the relationship the fandom cooked up between Bruno and Pepe

This is honestly incredibly underrated for how much it made me bawl my eyes out?? The art is just so good and the storytelling is awesome and the song fits sO WELL- Generally, this is just very amazing, and I have the sudden urge to rewatch it multiple times.

Welp, time to absolutely bawl my eyes out

I love the idea that Pepa misses him most even though she was taught to not talk about Bruno. Maybe that’s because it feels awful to talk about someone so close to her whom she lost. This is beautiful and made me cry

Pepa has seriously grown on me sm since I first watched Encanto.. idk why but she’s one of my favourite characters now :)

SOBBING RN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE IT WITH MY WHOLE HEART BUT I’D BE LYING IF I SAID THIS DIDNT MAKE ME CRY

Oh wow this is great! Everything, especially ending shot with Pepa and Bruno, made me really sad but it was so beautifully done

I was perfectly okay until Bruno turned into Antonio with the rat and now I'm crying 😭

THE WAY YOU DRAW EXPRESSIONS IS AMAZING!!! Also I sobbed when Bruno turned into Antonio.

This animatic is so amazing! Even if it's just an animatic and the frames are like sketches, it's very powerful and hits hard, the expressions really show a lot of emotion! I love the headcanon of Bruno and Pepa being close but growing apart as they grew older. Now, 'scuse me, I'm going to cri in a corner because of how sad that was :'D

This was so sad! But I love it! You did a really good job of expressing pepa and bruno's relationship and how it got strained as they got older but they still love each other

My sister and I were like “oh an Encanto animatic with a song we like! How fun!” Sobbing. We are both sobbing.

Holy shit....HOLYSHIT! I thought the comments were exaggerating when they said this made them cry, but my tear ducts are legitimately stinging and I have goosebumps after finishing this. I already subbed from the last one, but now I am putting notifications on. Dang. You are amazing.

Pepa might see things in a way where, she doesn't know that bruno actually left to protect Mirabel, and therefore to her, he was abandoning her, like a betrayal. and that hurts, hurts to a point where she starts to get herself invested in the already growing taboo of her brother. This awesome animatic got me into the potential for the relationship between the triplets, beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous. Can't stop watching it over and over again, and it brings me to tears every time!

Okay, it's rare for things to make me cry but this did it. It also makes Bruno's sisters reaction to finally seeing him again hit that much harder for me.

That last shot absolutely killed me. I loved this peuce so much. I want their story in the cannon my gosh this is amazing.

they're my favorite characters in encanto this is amazing.... thank u

*I love how assertive this is* 😢❤ It is very likely that Pepa and Bruno were very close since they were younger than Julieta, she was the golden child and a second mother to them and her job was to serve and heal people with her gift. Pepa and Bruno the same but maybe they had more free time and less attention from their MOM so they would bond a lot as children. BUT I also regret that Juelieta has not had the freedom to play with her brothers because she is tied to a KITCHEN, it must be hard to be so alone...

I'm fragging crying I did not think this was gonna be the quality it was going in. Got here from a Tumblr reblog and I am PHYSICALLY WHEEZING IN PAIN. And that ending... Toñito... you don't know what you do... These poor broken triplets...

Why do people keep insisting on using this song with Encanto stuff? Breaks my GD heart every single time 😭😭😭

I CAN'T STOP CRYING THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!!

THE ENDING MADE ME CRYYYY THIS WAS SO WELL DONE AND CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

I loved this! This made me feel so emotional! I adore this characterization of Bruno and Pepa, and their relationship of each other throughout the years. And through this, I love the idea that the reason Pepa was so adamant about speaking of Bruno was because she cared so greatly; that it was easier to be mad or dismissive rather than address the “Bruno problem(s).” Especially when you consider the gift Pepa has and how she has had to deal or been taught to deal with it, and in association her emotions. I respect this characterization and it is now a headcanon of mine.

This is just so heartbreakingly beautiful. You truly did an amazing job with this.

OMG! I LOVE IT! Those sweet scenes from the past. And how it all turned out in the end... I think it captures their relationship amazingly Also the last frame just 💔 Excuse me. I just need to lay down and cry for a little while

Aww, this is beautiful if i could add just one thing it would be Felix comforting her in the last frame

👏🏻 what an amazing yet heartbreaking animation

This is INCREDIBLE I absolutely ADORE THIS

DUDE!! I weeped watching this, it's amazing and I just love it when they put Bruno's and Pepas dynamic like this, it just gives me the feels. Also! The animation was good!!!
