Dolores doesn’t have a gift rather a curse, I mean superhearing in a house with two married couples. Not to mention pepa, the whole town would know how the marriage was going if Y’know how I mean
Also holy cow surface pressure relates to me hard, all while definitely relating to meirbel and her acting happy and extroverted as inside her mind is chaos

@@steve8071 sorry was absurdly tired when I wrote that
I related to Pepa and Lucia because I have Nervous A LOT so it was really nice to know I'm not the only person who gets Nervous really Nervous
A little adult detail I noticed was that Pepa sings "It was my wedding day" and Felix echos "It was our wedding day." I do this all the time and my husband always reminds me that it was his day, too. Oops!
Pepa gives Felix a bit of a dirty look for 'correcting' her at that part! It always cracks me up.
Hahaha me too!
I still say my anniversary 🤪
I too caught the "my" and "our." Very telling. She thinks about herself alone and he thinks of them together.
@@hitokage4 exactly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰
Luisa and Surface Pressure broke me. “I’m pretty sure I’m worthless if I can’t be of service” was definitely painful to hear.
Yup that line was like my whole life. It hit so hard for me. Love this movie.
For me it was "who am I if I don't have what it takes?"
I worked in retail for seven years and this whole song was how I viewed myself in the companies eyes. Mostly how my boss knew she could always count on me to help save her or the store, but I needed to learn to take time for me and set boundaries.
What killed me was "Give it to your sister it won't hurt and see if she can handle every family burden!"
Aww God Lin didn't have to do that to me!
Precisely why this song resonates so strongly with me. That and the part "Give it to your sister; your sister's stronger." Oy. This is my life right now with an aging parent.
When Delores says Mariano wants five babies, we see Isabella's first panic imperfection. A perfect row of red flowers bloom across her head with one out of place white one which Abuela plucks and tosses without comment. Indicating how she micromanages everyone.
You mean Dolores
Yes! I definitely caught that one
*Dolores
Yep abuela is the villain in my eyes the way she pushed out her son Bruno seeing his little table & chair made me cry, she only saw the bad in Bruno & Bruno didn't realise that Mirabel is getting pushed out to by bruno's mum she's no better than Bruno, but I'm glad that Mirabel speaks her mind to Abuela cos I would of told her off to I don't blame Bruno hiding from his mum the way she's always put him down it's disgusting & the way she speaks & treats Mirabel is disgusting I'm glad Mirabel talks back to Abuela 👍👍.
Can we just take a second to appreciate Felix defending Pepa against Abuela when Pepa says she's doing her best!?!?
Felix is just husband goals 😍
Félix is definitely awesome, he is definitely a really nice husband.
@@heidisonger5530 facts
Also, how easily he dispels Pepa's storm cloud when Mirabel takes her spot at breakfast. Beautiful way to show without words how much in love she is with her husband.
Felix is one of my favourite characters from the film. It is so obvious that he adores his wife. Even getting married during a hurricane it was the happiest day of his life.
@@terbear5120 IKR!?!? They are an adorable couple 😍
Due to myself being an adult who loves Disney, I noticed that during Bruno’s rat telenovela slide, when the girl rat runs away, another one pops up in the it’s place, because it’s a telenovela.
Ok but what about what the telonovela is about? How is no one mentioning that?
good eye!!! I didn't notice that until you said it
I think it's because the first 2 rats are guys due to showing the football earlier then changed to a telenovela that depicts a wedding, also the rat that showed up has a smaller face that I think is a female rat.
@@jjyromvc Of course Disney would do that
It's actually an easter egg! Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombian Nobel prize winner) Wrote a book called One Hundred Years of Solitude that has a plot like that!
I love how camilo, despite being the naughty one in the family, truly wants to help others.
Yep. The most touching one is when his little brother is super nervous about getting his gift he shifts into a mini version of his dad to lighten the mood. It made Antonio giggle when he needed it.
At first I wished Camillo got more more screentime, but I'm kind of glad he didn't, because he could have came off as annoying if he got TOO much screentime.
ooh
Yeah. I hope if there's a sequel, we'll see more of Camilo
Typical young teenager from a good family... Playful and yet still helpful and often infuriating!
I don't know if this counts as a detail only for adults but I think coffee kid is a genius nod to the fact that kids in colombia are sometimes drinking coffee(as colombia is one of the world's biggest exporteurs) where it would be weird for a kid to drink coffee anywhere else 😂
Yet it's shown to be a negative thing?
Its a Latino thing cuz Mexicans do it too lol at least in my family lol
@@spicybeantofu that because drinking to much Coffee is not good. I'm Brazilian and we export a lot of coffee too, and drink it a lot, I used to drink when I was a kid too, but my parentes would put milk in it or give other things like Juice or yorgourt to not drink too much coffee
My fam (including me) drank coffee at a young age and we are in USA 😂
I'm 14 but my mind is literally like an adult to this
Tiny detail: when Mirabel talks with casita about what's going on with the miracle and the scene takes a place where Dolores (or actually disguisted Camilo) is taking some food on the plate you may notice angry Pepa with rainy cloud above her head taking a sip of a coffee which improves her mood and makes the cloud dissapear
Felix is definitely a deterrent of her mood, too. Whenever he comes around, she immediately calms down
Coffee can make your heart palpitates but tea can help you stay calm so I don't think it's a coffee
The Miércoles joke isn’t limited to Colombia. It’s used as a PG curse word in a lot of Spanish speaking countries
Yup. As a hispanic person, i can confirm this is true
What does it mean?
@@silashurd3597 Basically means shit 😅
@@tatianagiraldogranda3915 Hol up-
@@silashurd3597 haha sorry but yess, it's a friendly way to say "mierda" 👀
I definitely felt bad for Pepa on having to control her emotions, but it being a vicious cycle of constantly worrying about it and that worrying making things worse.😥
Also, I love that the movie showed characters that are complex and more than just one trait/characteristic.😊(One of the reasons I felt bad for Luisa too since she only thought of herself as strong because that’s all that people needed of her 😞).
And kudos for Mirabel to recognise that in her sister and acknowledges she takes on more than she should. Luisa is sensitive and takes her duties seriously and works hard. It's a shame no one notices this except Mirabel (until the end that is when she finally gets her break in a hammock and drink in hand).
You mentioned 2 of Hercules' labors from Greek mythology, but everyone seems to miss a third reference. Luisa is asked to reroute the river right before the guy says that the donkeys got out again. The First Labour of Hercules was to clean the Agean Stables, which were said to house so many horses that it was filthy again before anyone could finish cleaning it. Hercules solved this problem by rerouting a river to wash out the stable.
It was his fifth labor.
@@JediBlueDog : Fair enough. I remembered that it was one of them.
Though a bit of a stretch, her gathering the donkeys could also be a reference to the tenth labor: Capture the Cattle of Geryon
Yeah. Also I hate that people always says that the references of greek mythology are to the movie of 1997. That Hercules movie wasnt even accurate and only by checking the real mythology people can understand better. The last labor he did was to take out Cerberus out of the underworld so the reference could mean in this like she always feel that she has to do it no matter how hard or dangerous it is. That no one else can so she has to do it. Since the labors for Hercules were so he could be forgiven for killing his sons and wife, they were imposed and were putted by the expectation that he die doing them. With Luisa could just be more like no one actually cared that they were hurting her with all that pressure.
Also, Atlas doesn’t hold up the earth. He’s holding up the sky
I love Felix backing Pepa up with the "I'm doing my best!"/"Yes!" exchange at 1:27. I hadn't noticed it before watching this video and it's very cute. :)
ALSO, Luisa is strong and still embrace her feminine side! It's really awesome how she doesnt fall into the stereotype of the "masculine" muscular girl, she loves colors, she has great dance moves, she even rides a donkecorn! I love her so much.
Since when are colours feminine? Last time I checked, _The Avengers_ was filmed in colour.
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster and yet you apparently didn't notice the way those women dressed... All in colorless clothes...
I like how everyones gifts are kind of their curse. Like, Isabelle’s gift forced her to act perfect in ways she didn’t want too. Luisa’s gift forced her to essentially carry everything for everyone. Bruno’s gift forced him to tell people things they don’t like. Dolores hears everything but can’t keep a secret. And Pepa is forced to control her emotions constantly, something she’s not good at. Smart writing with that
The only one I can think of that isn't much of a curse is Julieta
@@fashionablechangeling1988 actually she was forced to cook everyday to heal injured people without rest.
Edit: And her husband can be sometimes an accident prone.
@@EGG-de4ye That’s true, I’m sure she’s in the kitchen 24/7, which would kinda suck unless you love to cook
@@Jay-Zech Imagine if she was forced to feed all the people on earth.
@@EGG-de4ye Gosh, that would be awful🤣🤣🤣
Cool little detail someone pointed out is that when Camilo is comforting his mother he shape-shifts into some of the adults of the family when he's struck by lightning. First Felix then Abuela and then Augustin. That's cause he's doing something adults usually do. Taking care of the family members.
Not all the adults
Isabela, dolores and luisa are adults as well
Not to mention, Julieta and Bruno
@@ultragamer8816 But when Luisa was telling Mirabel about what she knew about the house being in danger she said she heard the grown ups talking. That made me think that she's younger than she looks and is one of the kids.
@@gencas310 Luisa is 19, so she's an adult but still at that sort of in between stage. Delores and Isabela are both 21.
@@ultragamer8816 i said some of them. Not all of them.
As an oldest child myself, I could really relate to the pressure that Luisa puts herself under to always be strong, and of service to the people around her. "Surface Pressure" made me cry the first time it.
Absolutely. I am the older sibling of just me and my sister, and I always find the pressure to be strong (both physically and emotionally), as well as get the best grades, make the best decisions, be the smarter of the two, etc.
My younger brother and I watched the movie separately and the first thing he told me when we talked about it was "so how often do you feel like Luisa?" Yup, also cried lol
Well Luisa isn’t the oldest she’s the middle as am I so I felt kinda similar to her as well I tend to kin characters who take pressure and needing everyone to like them
@@Lianiii227 Wait…Isabela is the oldest???
@@dinowithwings9936 yeah, searched it up, Isa is 21, and Luisa is 19
For number ten ,Isabella also can be driven by her emotions she just wasn’t allowed to show it. As we see when she does get emotional it produces a cactus. Not saying you are wrong at all just wanted to include it
And her surprise at making the cactus totally derails her anger at Mirabel AND derails Mirabel's anger and jealousy over Isabella so they have the chance to come to an understanding.
Also her "blushing" moment when she's told how many babies Mariano wants! The little flowers pop up all over her head, with one the "wrong" color which Abuela removes.
The Miercoles joke is not limited to Colombia. My wife, who is Honduran, loved the joke as well.
Edited - I misspelled it earlier. That’s what I get for being in a rush. No disrespect intended to a proud country.
I'm from Argentina and we say that here too. It's a way to say _mierda_ (sh1t) without actually saying it.
yep my dads side of the family says it a lot in Mexico
Same in Peru
My family is Cuban and Spaniard and we also say it. It's a Spanish language thing and not exclusive to any one particular spanish-speaking country
I only know a few phrases in Spanish, but I knew mierda, and guessed from the similar beginnings of the words and from the context of the movie that this must be similar to how americans sometimes use a substitute word, for example my mom always says sugar when I know she means sh1t. I thought it was clever and laughed like crazy.
7:57 - I remember laughing out loud at this moment in theaters.... then promptly feeling self-conscious that no one else did.
“The magic is strong- and so are the drinks!” Was literally my favorite adult joke- or any joke- in the entire movie. The first time I watched it, during that scene I turned to my friend who was sitting next to me and yelled “ABUELA just suggested MIRABEL was DRUNK!! Did you hear that?! Is she saying MIRABEL was drinking?! How old is Mirabel?! What age do they start drinking alcohol at in Colombia?!” I’ve always found alcohol jokes funny for some reason but THIS was hilarious.
18 years old
@@maferomero3009 oh! Well, thanks for answering my question then!
@@maferomero3009 she's 15
@@ABTW she's actually 15
@@jaliyahtootle04 I know she’s fifteen, but I didn’t know then. Plus, it’s mostly to add emphasis to the comment, but thanks.
Also it's important to say that Bruno's "knock knock knock on wood" is a Latin American way to cast away bad luck, when someone tells us something bad could happen our answer is saying "toco madera" (aka knock on wood) while touching something made of wood so that's another cool detail as well (I'm from Mexico but it is known to be done in manh countries)
He also sings sana sana colita de rana... lol...when he hops along the wood panels inside casita
I believe that 'knocking on wood' dates all the way back to Roman (maybe Greek?) times, when it was done to invoke the dryad (wood spirit) presumably still residing in the lumber.
Idk plenty of non Latinos do it too
We do that in Poland as well, but the wood cannot be painted
What got me is that he knocked on his head as the final "knock on wood" which is something my (non-hispanic, white, gringo) family does!
Actually, I think I noticed the greek nod when someone asked Luisa to reroute a river. It was one of the ways Heracles finished one of his 12 labors.
Something I noticed was during "The Family Madrigal" When Mirabel sang about each member of the family, their picture on the mural got brighter.
An adult joke I noticed is that in Columbian culture, when someone says it looks like rain to someone on their wedding day, that means you think their going to get divorced. Bruno meant it as a joke, but that's why Peppa got so upset. Another detail I noticed, this one about Camillo, is he genuinely is a nice person, but he doesn't do many things by himself, except for when his parents are around. Like, he only really does work when asked, and then only as someone else, because he's been taught the only thing about himself that is useful is his gift, meaning he's not useful, the people he shapeshifts into are the useful ones. Like, even on their family tree you can only see his head, because he's swishing his yellow cape thing.
The two characters that made me go "I feel seen" were Luisa and Bruno. Luisa because I'm the eldest sibling out of five and always felt I had more responsibilities and had to carry more than my other siblings, especially when I was younger. Bruno because his superstitious routines remind me of my OCD.
Wednesday isn't the only one like that. In the scene when Mirabel is mad she has to hug Isabella bruno cuts her off when she is about to curse. She was complaining about her and says "she's the one with roses coming out of her..." and he yells "Mirabel"
NAHHH
Underrated scene
A addition to Mirabel not being old enough to drink, at the engagement dinner the younger members of the family have non alcoholic drinks instead of wine (Pepa also has a non alcoholic drink).
I get confused at how people in the US would take that part. Because the drinking age in Colombia is 18.
It’s kind of funny, my first thought was “OH IS PEPA PREGNANT” but my second thought was that ain’t nobody want Pepa to be drunk cuz then she won’t be in control and they’ll all die
I was so confused about the Miercoles part. I even said "why did he just say Wednesday?" To my husband 🤣 that's so cool.
Yeah that it is a Latin stuff, I'm from Venezuela and we use that word as well, surprised and being pissed expression "sh$t" word
Trust me My Mom Said miercoles when i was a kid. And she didn't want to swear in front me.
Miercoles means Sh*t
@@IzzyTuberAHHHHHHHHHHHH Mierda means shit. Miercoles is a kid friendly way to say it.
That’s exactly what my husband said to me too. 😆
They’re using Miercoles like saying Crud or Fudge.
When Delores says he wants 5 babies, Isabella has a bunch of flowers pop up on her head, 1 is white which Abuela plucks immediately as it would be a grey hair or imperfection on the "perfect" girl
Dear Allison the name in Spanish is *Dolores* because ir is a reference to the Holy Virgen de los Dolores. In Portuguese it is the same: Virgem das Dores. So, many girls has the name María Dolores and in Portugal and Brazil María das Dores.
But why did the white flower pop up?
@@fakecastiel1479 the flowers popped up because she was shocked, but a white one signifying a grey or white hair popped up. Which could cause some women to panic and would likely pluck or colour if there were alot
@@king-erickxavierX sorry my spelling mistake offended you
As a Whovian, I caught the Doctor Who reference, I laughed out loud. I also caught the mythology references and I can relate to Pepa's anxiety.
I always love how The Disney Team travels across the world to study the culture of their stories.
I would like to see Disney do another movie that takes place in India. We've had the jungle book. But I want a current day India Disney movie.
@@jishanborno6411 I know what you mean
I laughed at Miércoles. I didn't know it was a Colombian reference but I knew what it meant and it's definitely not a swear word.
Besides, when Agustín say Miercoles is not only in Colombia, is in all Latinoamerican. We said it because when something goes compleatly wrong (and maybe has no solutions) we say this word insted to say the "word" for many reasons (especially when their Kids by side).
We also use it in LATAM because it stars with similar words in mier-da= sh$t and miér-co-les= Wednesday, sorry for the word but basically that is the main reason 😅
It is not limited to Colombia, other people in Spanish-speaking countries use that word to refer to the swear word
It's Wednesday.
As an adult, I was quite pleased with myself for catching a LOT of the Encanto details mentioned here. But not all of them. I caught Peppa's quirks right away. She openly displayed quite a few characteristics of people with chronic anxiety. She strokes her hair over and over. She repeats a mantra ("clear skies, clear skies") whenever she starts stressing out. She gets angry if you bring attention to the manifestation. I know people with severe anxiety disorders and I recognized this right away the first time I saw the movie.
But I didn't get it all. For example, when Augustin said "Miércoles." When I heard that I immediately looked it up, so I knew he said Wednesday, but I sure didn't know why. Now I know, thanks to MsMojo (Thanks!), why he said that. It's like when the French say "sacré blu!," which literally translates to "holy blue," which doesn't make any sense. But at one time (and I'm not going to look it up for this comment) one of the French Kings made taking the lord's name in vain a capital offense. So it became illegal to say "sacré dieu," which means "holy god" like you might say in the heat of the moment when you smash your thumb with a hammer or stub your toe. People caught sating it would claim that they were NOT swearing using the name of god but the name of the king's dog, Blue, instead.
In classic Spanish (in the Golden Literary Century) they used to say _pardiez_ instead of Por Dios (for God). I think it was the same way as frenchs did.
*sacre bleu* (interj.)
an English notion of a stereotypical French oath, 1869, from French _sacré bleu,_ literally "holy blue," a euphemism for _sacré Dieu_ (1768), "holy God." From Old French _sacrer,_ from Latin _sacrare_ "to make or declare sacred"
I sent the video of “Surface Pressure” to my 15-years-older sister. Between taking care of our elderly mother, her husband and her daughter I saw so much of her in Luisa.
One thing I noticed that most children would not is the change in Augustin's outward affect after Mirabel's hand is cured by his wife. When Mirabel leaves after their talk, he feels he did a good job and his daughter will be fine now. Then he glances at his wife and sees she is concerned and so his outward affect changes to concern for his daughter.
one moment I love is during Isabela's part in "We Don't Talk about Bruno" as she's coming down from the vine swing everyones doing this hand gesture towards her and right at "someday be mine" Mirabel can be seen hands crossed with the most hilarious face! she is so irked and over Isabela being this "princess" lol I love seeing it every time!
For me and my family (we're all Colombian) the "war" is actually The Violence, it was a period of a kind of civil was with political undertones during the 50s. People would flee their homes because of the Party they supported. My mom even said "Los chulavilas" (a common name for Blue Party members, conservadores) when the men in horses appeared. It is closer to us than the 1000 days war, but I guess both make sesse.
Si el destierro y muerte de Pedro Madrigal hubiera sucedido durante los años de La Violencia, los hechos actuales de la película ocurrirían comenzando este siglo (lo que le quitaría el sentido a que la película se base en el Realismo Mágico), además de ponerla en un momento cercano a la Historia reciente del país. Disney no iba a meter la pata de esa manera; ya que la situación actual de Colombia sigue siendo un polvorín. Correr las fechas de la película medio siglo para justificar las escenas del inicio con un tinte "político" contra las guerrillas puede ser bastante inoportuno. Los trajes típicos que salen en la película,eran de uso común hasta la mitad de siglo pasado, antes de que el país se modernizara y dejarán de ser un país agrario.
@@king-erickxavierX Sin embargo el pueblo ha estado aislado durante esos 50 años por las montañas. Al final de la película la Abuela y Mirabel pueden ir al lugar donde Pedro murió porque la montaña se parte al medio y crea un camino. Antes de eso, Bruno dice que una de las razones por las que no se fue es que las montañas son demasiado altas para cruzarlas. Y tiene sentido que no puedan salir, porque eso significaría que los hombres a caballo también podrían haber entrado.
A todo esto, lo que quiero decir es que la película podría ocurrir en este siglo, pero al haber estado aislados durante los últimos 50 años la vida de la gente seguiría igual; sin teléfonos, televisión o computadoras, por ejemplo. Y definitivamente sin implicarse en lo que sea que esté pasando en el resto del país
@@Krlytz el fonógrafo y las "ratanovelas" de Bruno sobretodo, son indicio del tiempo interno de la película en 1950.
@@Krlytz veo a muchos "uribestiales" queriendo poner la.película en un contexto de guerrillas, como insinuado que los malos de Encanto son las FARC. Por ahí no es. _no estoy diciendo que usted sea de los que comenten eso, ni más faltaba soltarle semejante insulto_ 🤣😂
@@king-erickxavierX En realidad se poco y nada sobre la historia de Colombia, lamentablemente. Solo agregué información que apoya al comentario original.
I noticed that when bruno was displaying his rats to maribel with the cards, the telenovela card was extra funny since the rat in the female head jumped out and another rat took its place 🤣. This was perfect since telenovelas are so dramatic with cheating partners and getn new ones lol.
When I first watched this a month ago, I felt connected to Luisa, where she feels like an outcast/ not like other women, because of her strength. I'm not tall (I'm 5ft) or jacked (but I do love working out and biking). All my life, I was a tomboy, and would sometimes feel self conscious that I didn't look like "other girls." But I know now that how somebody else perceives isn't the most important, but how you value and care for yourself is what matters most. Oh! And Stephanie Beatiz's singing voice is breathtaking and makes me melt and makes me want to watch Brooklyn 99 just for her.
My second favorite character(s) from the movie are Bruno's rats. They are just too darn stinkin cute!!!!!!!!!
One joke I truly loved is this: at the table in the yard, Camilo starts to tease his cousin by transforming into Mariano... Then Isabella slaps him with a face full of flowers and gives him the "talk to the hand" gesture 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 an awesome joke for a woman that was a teenager in the 90's
We need an Encanto 2, period.
Camilo rocking the baby was sweet, but I could tell that this must be that mom's second or third child - even as exhausted as I was after my daughter was born (my only kid thus far), I hated myself for not being able to hold her more. I figure the mother here knows that it's better to be safe and rested, even if it means she has to have someone help her play a trick.
It had to be Antonio. Camilo is in the middle with Dolores being the oldest.
It was Camilo
Agustin’s miercoles made me burst when I first watched the movie 🤣🤣🤣
Can we talk about the kid in the starting song always carrying a cup of coffee. I am Honduran and I absolutely loved it, because in all families and neighborhoods there is always that one child who loves coffee at anytime or place.
i laughed hard at miercoles lol. its a thing in all spanish speaking countries. its like saying “oh shoot!”
During the scene where Delores reveals the upcoming proposal and Isabella sprouts flowers in her hair, Abuela pucks out the only "imperfect" flower reflecting her ideals of perfection. But, this flower also happens to be white; so you could read it as Abuela expecting her grand-daughters to have children, and Isabella especially.
Waiting on a miracle really got to me. I’m autistic and my little brother has accomplished so much including most things I’ve dreamed of so it really felt relatable.
Thank you for all the information on Colombia! I was adopted from there as a baby and haven’t been back to visit. It’s fun learning about the culture.
In my own personal opinion, when Mirabel was saying “I will move the mountains” and all that stuff that her family can do with their gifts, I think she was saying that if she was to receive a gift herself she would put it to use to make it as important and helping as everyone else’s
Yes, that's what she says.
It's also foreshadowing. She does all the things she says she will do--moves a mountain (shatters it, even--and that's the literal mountain, she also moves Abuela which is a bigger accomplishment), makes new trees and flowers bloom, heals what's broken, and shows the family something new. All four items, checked off her to-do list.
I am a tween and I cried during Encanto because Mirabel can’t fit in and always fake smiles. This made me burst into tears. Probably because I have depression and no one knew for years because of how good I am at hiding my emotions.
I'm 12 and speak spanish and english and noticed that the dad said miercoles and I'm like "Wednesday? Why"
One detail I noticed is that Pepa's hair is all frazzled due to her stroking it during her 'stress episodes' and also because the weather affects her hair.
I feel like Mirabel got PTSD from her gift ceremony.
dude the smile that came on my face when agustin said "miercoles" was so wide
i was like "FINALLY! MY CULTURE IS REPRESENTED!"
My favourite adult joke has to be the incest one in Bruno's telenovela with the aunt and her nephew
It's a nod to the relationship between Amaranta Ursula and Aureliano Babilonia in 100 Years of Solitude.
@@brunotorrini9228 did you notice the yellow butterflies during the movie too? I thought it was a nice detail.
@@MariIceCream Of course!
I found that comment to be a bit bizzare. Telenovelas are "television novels," and the Encanto doesn't seem to have electricty, so how would Bruno know what telenovelas were? Also, it's a little uncomfortable that his go-to entertainment was a romantic relationship between two people who had the same familial relationship as himself and Mirabel, and he explains its appeal to him to Mirabel during their first meeting in years. Awkward!
@@Talamasca007 I always assumed that he used future sight and saw a TV that played those shows and he found it really cool, and then he drew it for himself
Love this movie, and Luisa, but when I was a kid I had Uran, Astroboy’s sister, who had impressive strength. She wasn’t as responsible as Luisa but she was a life goal for me.
I knew all along that Pepa was similar to Elsa.☺️
@8:01 the first time I heard that was in the Latin Spanish dub for Madagascar when in the original version Marty said "sugar honey iced tea."
Thank you for confirming for me that the Titanic bit was not just a callout to the movie...I assumed it wasn't, and was just trying to figure out how long after the sinking Encanto was actually set.
Because it's adorable... In the Titanic scene, three donkeys are playing instruments like the three musicians who played while the ship was sinking.
How long does Encanto take place after the sinking of the Titanic? The Titanic sunk in 1912. Encanto took place at some point in the 1950s. (Look at the technology, with the camera and the phonograph player the rats are running on.)
The donkeys always get me. They're adorable and so chill and I love their expressions. Lusia just picks them up and throws them around and they're fine with it. Like it's been happening for years. No doubt Lusia has been carrying donkeys around since she was five and received her gift. At the end of surface pressure they even line themselves up on a board so she can throw them up in the air and catch them all at once.
At first it's cute and funny. Likely the donkeys are used to being beasts of burden themselves and enjoy someone else carrying them around for awhile. But then you realize that the town sees Lusia as their beast of burden and it gets sad. She's 19 and got her gift at 5. That's 14 years that she's had to do this job and no one has bothered to train the donkeys, train a herding dog, or fix the damn fence. They just figure Lusia will do it. It's sad. I have to pay more attention the next time I watch the movie but I can't recall anyone saying please or thank you to her.
I mean I get how rerouting the river can be useful, but she moved that church like what 10ft? Why was that even necessary?
I knew I heard him say "Miércoles" 😂😂 that was really great!
But yeah, in general is a joke that all the spanish speakers use/understand.
Surface Pressure is so relatable as the oldest sister in my family
I was wondering if anyone picked up on the fact Abuela kept hitting the alcohol. It took the third time seeing it to realize she had a thing for wine. There was one other thing that me and a few others thought with Pepa too. The triplets are 50. Antonio is 5, so it made me wonder if he was an oops baby at first since Pepa would've been 45, the cusp of soon to hit menopause. Yet someone said to me that what if she was made to have Antonio by Abuela considering Mirabel's gift ceremony went horribly wrong and she didn't want her eldest to have another child in case the next one wouldn't have a gift but had Pepa have another to keep it going on.
Consider - this is like Shangri-la. Julieta has /cured/ everyone of debilitations of age, which is why Pepa could have a baby at 45 safely, and have no side effects of the physical effort.
For me, I was amazed that Luisa was gifted with strong powers. And I am 11. Also Camilo is so sweet. He’d be the best brother.
I was happy to see Titanic in it, and it said Madrigal on the side which shows how Luisa is made to I guess help and break obstacles in the family.
Thank you for explaining the “Wednesday” scene. I did not understand why that word was chosen in the context of the scene.
The 'bad word' it's filling in for has the same first two syllables, so it's a really obvious evasion for the bilingual.
One thing I noticed is that when the Casita comes down at the very end of Surface Pressure (not when it lands on her, but when she catches it), the house, mountains, and sun have a very "It's A Small World" look to it
It seems to me that they're living in a time loop, they're stuck, nobody comes into the town because nobody knows where they are and no one leaves. The fact that they look like they did (fashionwise) 50 years ago, It makes me think of the movie "The Village"
Oddly I connected most to Camilo for being a jokester but cared for my family and others. The other I connected to was Bruno by being outcasted because I am such a jokester. So I can imagine everyone can connect to one or two of the characters in the movie.
I love Encanto so much its so good
Me too
I can relate about what you said about Luisa that she could also represent the pressure on older siblings because when I saw encanto for the first time I could relate to pepa’s stress and Luisa’s pressure.
I so identified with Luisa, especially Surface Pressure - I've started singing it at karaoke. I've always been the one to help people, I DO NOT get help. Then in 2020 I had to have my foot amputated, and suddenly help is a lot more helpful and necessary, and I am FAR less capable of helping. It's been quite the upheaval. I feel for Luisa, and I just about cry when the song ends and Mirabel just hugs and understands, something I never get in my life.
I note that decades ago, the movie would have ended with Mirabel finally earning her gift, one particularly great since she was denied for so long, like she had to earn it first. Today's hypersensitivity means instead we get a message of acceptance (which the main character didn't need to learn, the rest did), a much less satisfying message. Nothing REALLY changed. :) Come ON, she couldn't even get a real room of her own? Even without a glowy door? She's stuck in the nursery she's way too old for? Maybe she could have bonded better with the 3 other unpowered individuals - Abuela and the two husbands (and Abuela even gets a magic door).
BTW, I have a theory: I think their powers are related to their personalities. (I forget most names so I'll reference their powers). Kid Dolittle, Mirabel says beforehand he likes animals, I think she gave him a stuffed animal as a comfort thing in case he's denied like she was. His brother Metamorpho - he's SERIOUSLY supposed to be OLDER than Mirabel? I'd swear he was younger, between size and personality - probably had a talent for acting and imitating people/voices. The Listener was probably a terrible gossip, always eavesdropping (which is how Mirabel and her dad KNOW they're in trouble when she hears them). SuperBabe was probably an extra attractive child who developed an interest in flowers as an "appropriately" girly appropriate thing to like. Luisa was probably particularly active.
And the original 3, Mirabel's mom was probably particularly caring - like taking care of injured birds and such. Pepa was probably particularly emotional, probably prone to wild emotional swings. And Bruno was probably so perceptive he seemed psychic.
I got a bit of a smile when Mirabel's dad, upon finding the broken prediction, tells Mirabel, "No one has to know." I think this was a deliberate homage to the song "Nobody Needs To Know" from The Last Five Years (which Lin-Manuel Miranda also quoted in the song "Say No To This" in Hamilton).
Luisa’s “Surface Pressure” caught me so off guard…. It was a bop turned emotional like that 💥 😭 Disney + Lin-Manuel Miranda = 🥇 🏆 👏
Yeah, Miercoles is used in many Latino countries. I'm Puerto Rican and it was used in my house ALL the time with the addition to MANY more like HP; Bronca (repeat it many times in a row and if you speak Spanish you'll get it), no chaves mas, que J, etc... I was dying laughing when it was said and astounded that Disney allowed it!!! Also I started drinking coffee (with A LOT of warm milk) when I was 7 religiously at 2:00pm!
Ms Mojo you get me every time with your Encanto videos, it is for sure one of the best movies by Disney of all time, I feel that the deeper you go the more you find, Colombian culture is very interesting 💖
8:10 it's not only used in colombia, it's also used in Peru when I used to live there. Probably used in other places too.
Camilo is totally a spitting image of his father
It's not really an adult thing. But I can't get over the fact that Antonio is basically Ezran, from Dragon Prince, on steroids.
I’m from New Mexico and the miercoles joke is a thing here too 😂
So when the kid says about the room: "it's bigger on the inside ", I thought of the Tardis in Dr. Who.
I noticed Miercoles and thought it was a bit random, now I understand! Like we might say “sugar” in English 😂 also noticed and thought it was a bit strange Abuela implying that Mirabel, aged 15, was drunk at a community event!
I thought about this a few days ago. I compared Mirabel and her sisters to Medusa and her sisters. Think about it.
Medusa isn't immortal like her sisters, and Mirabel didn't get any magical powers, but her sisters did.
Crazy, right? 😃
My reading of Pepa's gift is that you can see a lot of toxic positivity when you watch the movie. She's constantly trying to only be happy, and to not have any negative thoughts/emotions, lest she cause a hurricane or blizzard.
*The angry lady that makes it rain*
I cant 🤣
I think people who speak Spanish; no only Colombian, know exactly what Miércoles means. It’s a very common word to say instead of the other one 💩
Interesting facts, Thanks Ms mojo and happy thursday. And see You soon
I think the Miercoles joke was aimed at all Hispanics 😂🤣
1:25
I didnt know Pepa had snow appearing sometimes
The details in Disney movies are absolutely amazing. I'm very proud to recognise almost all of the Only-Adult-Notice-Things. Mostly because I'm only 16 years old. The two I didn't knew were: The Football match (cause I was born in 2006, which is long after the match) and the Wednesday / We don't talk about that moment (cause I never learnt Spanish in school: I live in the Netherlands).
I speak some Spanish and I laughed out loud at the Miercoles bit. My friends watching with me at that time were completely clueless.
I like the implication that at some point Bruno was using his power to watch sports.
and telenovelas - those are also more recent than the 50's
One thing that most people don’t catch is that because Mirabel wasn’t given a gift, she doesn’t actually have a room of her own. She sleeps in the nursery with Antonio until he gets his gift, leaving her to be alone again until the next child is born. She doesn’t even have her own space like everyone else does.
I officially consider myself an adult now. I thought the Wednesday part was funny, I’m Latina so I got I right away and it made me laugh so much because it reminded of when I was a kid
Fun/random fact: if you don’t speak Spanish or read the captions the song that plays at the river is translated to “two caterpillars” (side note it did make me cry 7 times in a row) is saying “Two caterpillars cant hold on longer you must break apart and build your own future” I did forget a bit of the lyrics so uh yeah -_- but I don’t think many people would have noticed this but the scene is meant to show the two characters as the caterpillars and they must break apart to build a future even if it may not include the other and that life will still be fine when the lyrics “miracles are coming” and I’m pretty sure there is a reference to the metaphoric cycle for butterflies so yeah, then in the song it also said that they were “always hungry” which made me think that they had poor living conditions but tried to make the best out of life
i am not even close to adult age but i noticed something else when luisa was on the titanic, behind her the donkeys were playing string instruments, a reference to the titanic movie where a group of people played string instruments to calm people down. im not sure if this was also a hint that luisa needed to calm down or if it was just a fun little easter egg.
Everyone made a big deal about Mirabelle not having a power, but Abuela didn't have one either. I always figured Mirabelle's gift was that she was the family glue. Casita didn't start to crack until Mirabelle started feeling on the outside of the family and was going to strike out on her own. I think she's Abuela's successor.
The best line in the movie:
The magic is strong! And so are the drinks!
~ Abuela Alma Madrigal
0:48 If you pause you can see the frame that was used for an Encanto ytp
7:23 i laughed a bit when i heard it.
