It's so cool how Mirabel stops forcing it and starts understanding her sister in the middle of the song. So she pushes Isabela to grow higher, and finally gets a true hug.
It's actually really cool how they represent this! Like, up until 1:30 Isabela is just super involved in her discovery and barely looks at Mirabel... Then at 1:34 Mirabel sings with such understanding and compassion and encouragement that Isa finally pays attention to Mirabel and how important she was for her own growth ❤️ from then on, she looks at Mira all the time throughout the rest of the song, and finally gives her a real hug! "I owe this all to you"
No one's mentioning it but these scenes also demonstrated just how powerful Isabela is. She doesn't just control "flowers". It's all sorts of Colombian and non-Colombian plants in general. She swings on vines like Spider-Man, punches holes with their stems, summons giant venus fly-traps and who knows what else.
It's a beautifully relaxed and kind-hearted teasing moment of "you're not perfect... and you've made me realise I don't have to be either" from Isabel to her little sister after all those years.
I love how it isn't hollywood's 'pretty' colours (pink, light blues, pastels) but colours that clash but are beautiful in their own way (dark green, blue, bold red, mustard yellow)!! Very cool
I'd like to believe it's strongly in how they were raised. Elsa was always taught (more so after the accident) that her powers were dangerous. Instead of giving her time to grow, practice, and finally control her powers over ice. She had to hide them, and from her sister. Her parents tried going to find more answers about her powers. I think that was sweet of them, but I feel possibly one could have stayed behind and helped her gain control instead of letting her emotions rule her. I like this reference because I think Isabella also wanted someone to be able to show these new discoveries with. Everyone knows she can grows plants and has never been told her gift should be hidden. She takes every chance she gets on screen to use her power. So she found out there was more to it than just symmetrical and pretty. Plus her room was the perfect playground to test out her new found knowledge. I feel like Encanto is more of the happier version that frozen couldn't be. Both films were beautiful in their own ways and I'm thankful to be able to see all the updated animations. Just the expressions and things they can do over all are great.
Interesting botanical trivia: At the beginning of the song, Isabela mentions growing roses and Flores de Mayo, both of which have been carefully cultivated to maximize their external beauty - at the expense of hardiness, lifespan, and pollination. The rest of the plants mentioned in the song - cacti, jacarandas, sundews, strangling figs, and wax palms - have not been carefully cultivated, yet they are still appreciated in their natural state either due to unique characteristics or ecological importance.
Interesting, specially here in Colombia as one of our major exports apart from coffee is flowers, my mom worked at a flower company and while she was the doctor for the workers she did learn of the process cultivating the flowers.
The plants she started creating in this song are all unique and beautiful and are people’s favorite plants to take care of during this pandemic when a lot of people learned to take a liking to plants. They’re very much cultural unlike the stereotypically beautiful roses.
Isabella's story breaks my heart. The golden child is abused, too. She can be perfect, so she always has to be perfect. And she seems to be doing just fine, so no one will support her. Mirabelle gets sympathy from their parents. No one helps Isabella because she can mask so well no one realizes how badly she needs it.
That still doesn't excuse the shitty way that Isabella treated Mirabel. She basically used her as a verbal punching bag and never even apologized for it. Honestly, she needed a good smack upside the head to realize that just because things are tough that it's not okay to take that frustration out on others.
Her gift is to be a therapist apparently. Only mirabel was capable of getting her sisters to talk about their feelings and let out their frustration and stress.
I love the part when Isabella sings "'I'm coming through with tabebuia" and Mirabel goes "she's coming through with that boo-yah!" like, she has no idea what Isa is going on about, but she's still so supportive!❤
I love how this song did pretty much the opposite of what I expected to happen when watching the movie. When the cactus appeared, I thought Isabela would go "Now look what you made me do!" and be even more upset, because a lot of stories go that way, but instead she's curious and excited. Completely forgets she was even upset a moment ago, because oh, funky new plant! 🤩 I did that! Time for a million funky new plants! 🤩 It's so good 💛
What’s beautiful is that she goes from growing European roses to flowers and trees native to South America. She rejects this foreign ideal of perfection and literally embraces her roots.
“Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring - quite often the hard way." - Pamela Dugdale.
That very first time Isabela says "What else can I do?", her voice is so full of childlike joy and wonder. She's so excited that she completely drops her composed facade!
Isabella naming the plants and their qualities (“careful it’s carnivorous”) shows that she’s spent the time to read up on all sorts of plants but has been only been growing flowers as that’s what’s expected over her.
@@davidd.espadas all of em XD Flor de mayo is actually a festival in may that lasts the whole month. In this case tho she means plumeria ( if my latin still functions )
I love that when they first hug Mirabel snuggles into her shoulder. She's not even thinking about the prophecy or the miracle at that moment- she's just enjoying the hug from her big sister
Yea I feel like true familiar bonds is what made the miracle glow, and Abuelas strictness in wanting to perfectly preserve it was crushing it, so Mirabel loving her sister that she "despised" for so long made the miracle get some of it power back. And then it went downhill and Bruno smashed through a BRICK wall with just a bucket on his head and a rat in his shirt.
I personally love this song, it sounds really nice and it shows how Isabela changes and in my opinion it expresses a lot of emotions. Thank you Disney I really enjoy and appreciate a film like this.
And it's Good for isabela finally accept and forgive mirable for once, they use to be difficult rival & hated sister and there now love, care, one to the other it's heartwarming to see two sister finally getting along they went from rival and hating sister into loving and caring sister good to see disney teaching us how to accept or how to forgive to older & younger brother & sister even how annoying they are
I love that she’s clearly studied plants other than pretty flowers but didn’t think she could make them herself because of the pressure to make something perfect
This is not just a Isabella growth song. But it also is Mirabel growing. Mirabel realizes that there's more to her sister than she saw. She saw someone spoiled and thinking she was perfect, when in reality the perfect and beautiful was just a mask, like her sister Luisa's strong and tough. I see both sister's sides too because my mom's expectations forced me to perfect and I was always never as good as my siblings.
This is why I'm pretty sure Isabella's power isn't "being perfect". She's growing up trying to meet the expectations of everyone around her and everyone seems to THINK that her power is to be perfect. Her power is growing flowers. She can only grow roses because roses are "perfect" But Bruno said her power would grow and what grows and changes is the plants she is able to create, not how beautiful and perfect she looks.
@@lessoriginal Not really. Her power is to grow/create flora, everything that meets the criteria to be identified as flora is something she can create and everything that comes with that flora too. The reason why she never truly grew anything more than roses and flores de mayo is because those are the pretty and perfect flowers, just like she had to be, perfect. The moment she decided to be herself she was able to use her gift to the fullest.
@@lessoriginal Her literal power is the ability to manipulate and grow plants of any kind. It's metaphorical meaning was incorrectly understood as being "perfect" by everyone including Isabela herself. Most probably roses were the only plant/flower she knew about when she was 5 and she first got her power and everyone pegged her as the perfect, graceful princess, not allowing her to explore the other things she likes to create like cactuses and such. While Luisa represents the weight of family burden being on one person, Isabela represents more of a child prodigy/golden child syndrome. Kids who are brought up as the "golden child" usually get too used to the praises and therefore refuse to grow and change or improve themselves beyond a point.
Ive seen this many yimes, but ive only just realised something. Through most of yhe movie, Isabella's colour is pink, somewhat inline with abuela's pink and purple, showing off just how much Abuela sees Isabella as her second chance, and fhat Isa is the new Abuela, but as soon as Isa is honest, and she opens up, she wnds up with mostly blue on her dress, whoch fits her family's colour theme, having found her true sekf, and accepting herself for who she is, not being the oerfect girl Abuela wants. Just another visual storytelling that might go unnoticed and unappreciated. But i love it.
@@greenbrickbox3392 Eh, true. But she also could have made sustainable fences, built houses on her own (Seeing as she can lift whole people with plants) as well as create pretty much any renewable resource indefinitely. But yes, let's grow roses :>
@@conziewatches2087 yeah abuela wanted things to be like in a time capsule before the violence, and things weren't really allowed to change drastically
@@travisboutilier2220 why wouldn't I be? You literally said she should only be her perfect self and her happiness wouldn't matter. Sounds like Abuela would say
@@justarandomperson6218 Cause it's strange to compare people in real life with fictional characters. well she should be, she looks more beautiful like that and i don't see why her happiness matters more than her grandmothers, who had lost everything in her youth.
Something I really appreciate on this song is the voice acting while singing. During "We Don't Talk About Bruno" Isabela sings in a very airy way, like any other Disney Princess. Here her voice has more grit, it's even a lower pitch I think, which really helps the narrative of her shedding the pretense of perfection. When Mirabel sings her verse she even uses the same melody Isa used in "We Don't Talk About Bruno", since that perfect girl is all she knew her sister as. Also love how it's more rock (90's spanish rock) inspired than the other songs in the movie.
Absolutely. It echoes what happens in "Surface Pressure" where Luisa's voice becomes softer in moments where she feels more relaxed. It's such a lovely detail.
@@x3no841 Ah, maybe I should've said it's Spanish Rock, specifically the 90's latino rock movement, Lin Manuel Miranda mentions it in a behind the scenes of the song too.
I love how their relationship isnt just magically fixed cause Isa admitted she was behaving for the family. Mirabel isnt really LISTENING at first, still focused on fixing the magic, but as the song goes on, and Isa pulls her up, including her in her struggle, Mirabel's focuses shifts naturally to helping Isa and THAT heals the magic. It's so subtlety done, I love iiiiiiiit
I love that it goes both ways too, in the start Isa is like just plain ignoring Mirabel while she tries to follow her, but then after Mirabel's verse they're dancing and singing together
Lyrics: I just made something unexpected Something sharp, something new It's not symmetrical or perfect But it's beautiful and it's mine What else can I do? Bring it in, bring it in Good talk, bring it in, bring it in (what else can I do?) Let's walk, bring it in, bring it in Free hugs, bring it in, bring it in I grow rows and rows of roses Flor de mayo, by the mile I make perfect, practiced poses So much hides behind my smile What could I do if I just grew what I was feelin' in the moment? (Do you know where you're going? Whoa) What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect? It just needed to be? And they'd let me be? A hurricane of jacarandas Strangling figs (big), hanging vines (this is fine) Palma de cera fills the air as I climb And I push through What else can I do? Can I deliver us a river of sundew? Careful, it's carnivorous, a little just won't do I wanna feel the shiver of something new I'm so sick of pretty, I want something true, don't you? You just seem like your life's been a dream (whoa) Since the moment you opened your eyes (How far do these roots go down?) All I know are the blossoms you grow (whoa) But it's awesome to see how you rise How far can I rise? Through the roof, to the skies Let's go A hurricane of jacarandas (woo) Strangling figs (go), hanging vines (grow) Palma de cera fills the air as I climb And I push through What else, what else? What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment? (Seize the moment, keep goin') What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect? But I'll still be okay Hey, everybody clear the way, woo I'm comin' through with tabebuia (she's comin' through with that boo-yeah) Making waves (making waves), changing minds (you've changed mine) The way is clearer 'cause you're here, and well I owe this all to you What else can I do? (Show 'em what you can do) What else can I do? (There's nothing you can't do) What else can I do?
This movie really did nail the sibling relationship. Going from "wanting to strangle each other" to "singing about flowers" in the span of 30 seconds is like a daily thing.
I like how this song also talks a little about how the stuff that’s traditionally considered beautiful isn’t all that is beautiful, because it also shows plants that aren’t considered to be, but are regardless.
Plus I think fashion styles in the late 2nd millennium (the 17th - 19th Centiluries, for examples), could be overdone on young women like with the hoop-skirt dresses and hair that could go all over the place, but part of why we love Encanto is that all the characters are awesome including Mirabel’s sisters being drop-dead gorgeous by letting loose and embracing how skillful they could be!
@@kieranstark7213 that specific style is actually traditional, but it’s more simplistic because it’s also everyday wear. Sure it can get more complicated, but most of them have to work pretty hard for most of the day, so they need a full range of mobility
This is so cute, Isabela was trying not only to be perfect but also a mirror of her abuela, an image for all to look for... And this was actually very constraining and limited and she felt as if she was being strangled by vines... But she didn't need to be. She could be herself. She could do anything. All she did was because no one ever told her to be herself, everyone always told her she WAS perfect. Everyone poisoned her with this pressure because of their first impression of her powers and the memories of her childhood personality (a well-behaved little girl who was obedient to her abuelita). No one ever told her she could be anything else and she never realized she could, she just kept struggling being the image others had of her due to how she first manifested to the world. People aren't a monolith and they don't stay the same.
Also, I like how her powers include innate and instant knowledge of the names and properties of the plants she creates as soon as she creates them. Which means she could even revive extinct species and create entirely new ones. Holding her back was literally hindering progress, but that's what keeping to traditions and standards, without trying and accepting The New, does.
Can we appreciate for a moment just how insanely powerful Isabela is? This is a woman who can make flowers and later plants and trees grow anywhere (and who is hinted to have extensive knowledge of botany). Which means she can turn barren land fertile. End famines. Change or save entire ecosystems. She is essentially a nature goddess. Yet Alma looks at her and is like "Nah, you're a pretty girl who should make pretty things. Go decorate the town and be pretty". No wonder Isabela feels angry, miserable and trapped.
all those years could have been isabela exploring her powers. instead of putting them to good use, alma just decided that isa’s purpose was decorating the town
i highly doubt Abuela or even Isabela knew she could make anything but flowers The pression of being the perfect one just never allowed Isabela to even know about her full powers
Yup, she could have fed nations, rebuilt damaged areas, reclaimed land that had become unproductive. But instead she and her gift are put to the simplest of uses. And that is just one of the many things that was leading to the miracle fading.
@@guifdcanalli yep because the only way to grow is to make mistakes and learn on them. Isabella was perfect so she never made mistakes. The only time she made a mistake was when she made a cactus by accident. And look how she grew
Meanwhile, Luisa can lift things up WITHOUT BREAKING THEM. Julietta can heal by cooking, so why not make huge batches of food? Pepa can control the weather, enough said. So many possibilities, so much potential.
“You’re a bad influence” added so much character to the song and made it my favorite part of the movie by far. And the “careful it’s carnivorous” showed that she actually CARED for her sister.
@@cewkie yep, if im right during when Mirabel is doing the pieces to reveal Bruno's vision for her in We Don't Talk About Bruno, the characters around her when she's doing the pieces is actually who Mirabel cares the most, and guess what, Isabella is there
Something that i absolutely love about Encanto is that despite Mirabel being the clear "Disney princess" of the film, we get 3 princess "I want" songs, one for her and one for each of her sisters. Mirabel's is the most fleshed out and powerful, but the other two still get clear "here's my problem and here's what i want" themes to their songs. The big thing that separates the songs being that Isa's and Luisa's songs also come with resolutions BECAUSE Mirabel is included in their songs. Which ties back to Mirabel's "i want" since the miracle she's waiting for is herself, which the family later spells out for her. Its honestly awesome how it circles back
Nameless, faceless animators. Love to see them getting the recoginition they deserve being reffered to as "Disney", one of the most evil corporations in the world.
Yes! They sound great and I think it's symbolic of the moment they begin to understand one another.💞 I just noticed it myself minutes ago at 1:44. Before that, and maybe sometimes after, it sounds to me like Diane Guerrero is harmonizing with herself, and what a great voice she has.
me rewatching this for nostalgia and realizing that the reason "You just seem like your life's been a dream" is sang like the part Isabela sang in We Don't Talk About Bruno because that's the part where Isabela said she'd have her perfect life
that actually happens a lot in the movie; during abuela’s part of “the family madrigal” she sings to the tune of “dos oruguitas” (excuse my spelling), its clear how much care was put into everything in this movie, especially the soundtrack
I love how in the beginning Isabella voice is a typical Disney princess. Soft and sweet but by the end she has added riffs and a but of grit into it. It shows her character development and how she's not just a pretty face.
I love how similar yet contrasting Luisa's and Isabela's songs are. Luisa was overexposed and Isabela was locked up. Everyone utilized Luisa's strength until she burned out, while Isabela was expected to stay in her pretty little mold that she never explored beyond her own powers. Both are very valid issues, and I love how they were able to show it in this movie.
@@fairyblu6929 for example, Isabella and Isabela sound the same to English speakers, but the former is pronunced as Isabeya when spoken in Spanish, be it from Latin America or Spanish.
@@wintertheampharos4725 Well I'm not exactly versed in pronunciation of names, Isabela is pronounced like ee-sabela, whereas Isabella is pronounced typically like Iz-abella, or Iz-abeya if what you're saying is true. Also, small correction, Spanish and Latin America can't be compared since Spanish is a language, and Latin America is a region.
"How far do these roots go down?" This hits so fucking hard, how many times i assumed soneone's life was "perfect" until they opened up to me about what they went or were going through.
The line "Changing minds, You've changed mine" Is a nice touch as mirabel always See's Isabela as perfect and quite arrogant but her seeing Isa's point of view changed her mind about her sister
She literally saw the point of view of Luisa, Isabella and abuela. At first she judge them and until she gets their point of view she sees that her very very strong sister can't take the pressure she gets but still stand up for them, she also sees that her perfect sister isn't perfect at all, and her perfectionist abuela has a deep sad past that cause her to act like that through out the movie she wants her family to be perfect and protect their home, their encanto
I love how this songs shows that it’s OK to express negative emotions as well as positive ones and how cathartic it is to do so. I love how it shows Mirabel going from trying to hug Isabella to save the miracle, to her just cheering her on as she comes into her own. It’s beautiful! 2.7K likes?! I can’t believe this!!!! You guys are awesome!!!! 3.6K…. WHAT!?!?
Isabela might not be as strong as Luisa physically, but she's very strong mentally, like through out the whole movie you won't see any struggle on her(until this part came). She's always graceful, calm and perfect because that's what they want her to be. But as you see on this song she also faces a lot of struggles but chooses to keep it to herself since she's the oldest grandkid on their family and need to be strong since the family's expectations on her is high.
You can also see the struggle in "We Don't Talk About Bruno", where Mirabel is putting the prophecy together as everyone dances around her. Isabela's smile is replaced with a pained frown while singing, "I'm fine, I'm fine".
Isabela has a lot of moments where she struggles and breaks. It just manifests differently. Whereas Luisa shows her struggles of being the person everyone depends on through losing her physical strength, Isabela shows her struggles of being expected to be perfect by becoming angry when things don't go "perfectly". When Mirabel ruined the proposal Isabela becomes hostile, that's just one of many examples of her losing her perfection. Also, like Nolen said, she also showed her cracks when she's insisting she's fine that someone else is getting attention. The catus is her realizing imperfection can still be beautiful and special in it's own way, and that she is capable of more than just what people demand of her.
What I like about Isabela’s “character development” in this song is that she started creating plants and flowers that are not perceived as perfect (roses), but are VERY MUCH associated with her culture. Succulents, cactii, carnivorous plants, plants that extracts a lot of colored pollen (i can imagine that scene being hell for allergic people). All of those plants are very much cultural and are very beautiful nonetheless.
I’ve listened to this song on repeat countless times and one of the lines I personally like are the first lines Isabel sings. They have so much meaning.Think about it. All her life Isabel has been this girl who has a gift for flowers and plants and all she’s been allowed to make are roses and other pretty flowers. Nothing different. She’s never been allowed to express her emotions before. And now she finally realizes she can and that other things can be beautiful too
Isabella is obscenely powerful. The only member of the family who's powers could be argued to be stronger is Pepa, but Isabella's are more diverse and better controlled. And Bruno was very right, her power grew; just imagine, as the title suggests, she truly explores her potential and figures out her true limits
Mirabel during the movie actually fullfills all the positive prophecies and changes the course for the bad ones. She is the one that helps Isabela's prophecy come true and also the one that changes the course of the "bad" prophecy given to Dolores.
I played this last night while having a relaxing much needed spa night. I used an under eye mask, lit a candle and turned off the lights. It was heavenly.
YESS! Personally it portrays what so many teenagers are struggling with, the pressure to be perfect and conform to social standards instead of being who you really are. Once Isabella found out she doesn't need to give a sh*t about what other ppl think, her true self really started to blossom ;)
Mirabel shows a remarkable range of expressions in just 16 seconds from 0:12 to 0:28 -- including anticipation, mild annoyance, puzzlement (over her sister calling the cactus beautiful), excitement, eagerness, distraction, expectation (opening her arms for a hug), surprise, disappointment, brief panic ("wait!"), a new tactic (with briefly rolled eyes, when she says "good talk"), hope ("bring it in, bring it in"), joy ("free hugs!"), and "oops!" when she misses Isabela and falls down. It cracks me up how _dynamic_ her face is in that short time, yet it's easy to imagine her mixed feelings as they're animated so well. 🤗
I love how in the beginning mirabel was questioning Isabela but starting from the "i want something true don't you" she starting listening to Isabela and actually understanding and overtime making her overcome it its so cute
Cool detail, when the first flower throws pollen on Isa she freezes and expression changes to oh no this is wrong, but Mirabel smiles at her and then she starts throwing it everywhere. I think this shows how much she needed Mirabel to not only prompt the anger that kicked this off, but to encourage her that this is okay, and GOOD
The way is clearer cuz your here and we'll I owe this all too youuuuu what else can I dooooooo U can dooooo What else can I dooo There nothing that U can doooo what can i doooo!!!!!!!
its wild to me that his nose still wasnt fixed when he was supposed to be getting engaged to the daughter of the woman who can make food that heals anything
Interesting fact: every plant she sings about in the chorus is either a climbing plant like a strangling fig, or a tree like a Palma de cera. The whole time she’s been forced to grow flowers and small plants, like she herself cannot truly grow past what’s expected of her. But since she’s being allowed by Mirabel to be herself, you see the true heights (literally) of her gift.
This fact is also interesting from the perspective of Bruno's prediction about her that her "power would grow like grapes that thrive on the vine". I don't know about winery grape cultivars but wild grapes grow in prolific vines that will often cover fences, the sides of buildings, and frequently other bushes and trees.
haha, I can very much relate to your daughter I have watched this masterpiece 4 times this week alone and I've had the soundtrack on a loop whenever I commuted to my uni, went grocery shopping, etc. This movie and especially the music are highly addictive xD
God, I fell Isabella so hard. As a child, I didn’t feel like I could be anything but flawless. It really warped my perception of myself in so far as I never tried things if I wasn’t going to be perfect on the first try. Now that I don’t care, I feel like I’ve opened my world up tremendously.
Mirabel doesn't need a "gift" to help the family. She just needs to be herself, and needs to teach the rest of the family how to do the same. Such a strong message from a Disney movie.
I know being pretty is Isabela’s whole “thing” for most of the movie but I think the part where she hugs Mirabel in front of the candle is easily when she’s the most beautiful in the entire movie. She looks so warm and free and genuine.
I like how instead of saying everyone's perfect, this song says that no one is perfect. Despite our imperfections, we are all unique and should celebrate that.
I love how when she opens up she just switches from tamed domesticated garden flowers such as roses and go full on wild Colombian native plants such as palma de cera, jacaranda or sundew :)
Isabella’s explanation of these plants demonstrates a deeper knowledge of botany that would have far more usage than just for show purposes. Though she never got to utilize such knowledge due to being pressured to be perfect
@@antonellasvagelj7846 I'm Colombian so i already have 😄 I AGREE SO MUCH!! My fave part of the spanish ver. is when she says "Que lograría sin tener que ser la hermana perfecta, lo que en mi va a surgir nadie va a impedir" and "Yo quiero emocionarme con mi versión"
it wasn’t years of mistreatment it was mutual resentment that BOTH of them had. Isabela wasn’t a bully and mirabel wasn’t innocent in this scenario. Sisters fight it’s normal
This song really showed how Isabella has been 'trained' from a young age. She always makes sweet and nice and pretty things.. what 6 year old doesn't get mad and make something prickly in the moment? It's good to see she got to do something for herself
She reminds me of those young children who grow up doing everything their parents want to be perfect and usually they are on a tv show but it is a miserable experience.
God Yahweh loves, and offers Salvation Only by Faith in Christ Jesus, because we sin and deserve hell, but God who is Great in Mercy sent His Son Christ to Save us, he became man and lived among men, but without sin, and suffered the punishment of our sins, was filled with the Holy Spirit, gave his Life for ours, and was raised from the dead by the Power of the Holy Spirit, by Order of his Father, paying with his death for our wickedness, giving us Salvation only by Faith, not by works so that no one can boast. Glory to Triune God, God bless you
@@alvarojimenez4063 Uhm... are you even a real person? As in.. not a mindless, religious text-spewing bot but a real individual human being with your own independent thoughts and interests that don't come from a religious book or indoctrination- I mean religious teachings...?? Because I'm sorry if you are but you honestly don't sound like one right now... especially since nothing you said seems to have anything to do with the OP's comment..? 😬🤔
I absolutely adore the moment when Isabela first gets messy and she looks to her sister in shock. But instead of “fixing her up” (like Abuela would do) Mirabel encourages it. And that confirmation was all Isabela needed to seize the moment, keep growing…it’s so small but such a beautiful moment for the two sisters.
My favorite is when Mirabel does the pop squat when she says "GROW!" when they're on the roof, then does the little happy jump with her sister. It just seems she so encouraging. Melts my heart.
"Seize the moment" reminded me of Coco. But I agree. Abuela's time has come, it's Mirabel's time to keep the family together and the miracle alive! Mirabel's miracle now!
