FIRST TIME WATCHING! *ENCANTO* We don’t talk about Bruno! 

Did you see the bonus meme at the end? Also who was your favourite character and song! Catch the full length here: www.patreon.com/SebScreen And remember, we don't talk about Bruno..

I’m Colombian and in my mid forties. To see such representation of fair and dark skinned Colombianos including the biodiversity of plants and animals native to the country just made me thrilled beyond words. All the voice actors killed it but I really liked John Leguizamo’s performance as Bruno. My mom passed away last year and she was such an amazing cook. To see people eating buñelos and arepas in brief moments in the movie brought tears to my eyes. I hope this wins some awards . Great reaction Seb…and good job on rolling the r’s.👍🏼 Happy New Year!

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

Maribel's gift is empathy. She takes care of the family, make sure that everyone's well and feeling loved and that the house and the magic are safe. All of those things, Casita couldn't give her that gift, because she naturally had them. Also, she's like her grandmother and is most likely to become the new matriarch of the family.

One thing that someone mentioned and I can’t stop thinking about is, when Abuela is telling the story of Pedro. The version from when Mirabel is younger it’s very censored for a child, but the one when she is older shows how much anguish and pain was felt. Abuela’s reaction is very different in each one

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.

encanto is my new comfort movie, it just hits home. also the soundtrack is sooo amazing, i'm obssesed with no se habla de bruno (we don't talk about bruno, but it's the spanish version)

To me the message was "Don't let your talent be the only thing that defines you." The point isn't "Having a special talent is bad and will make you unhappy." And I found that very refreshing. So many movies these days end up with the characters losing their powers, and I get it the message is "You are just as important without a special ability." But it mostly comes across as "Be happy to be ordinary, having anything special about you will just ruin your life." with it being repeated so many times. I loved this ending

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.

Camilo and Dolores are my favorite characters. The girl who gets all the gossip and T dropped on her even if she does want it and the teenage boy with a major identity crisis, it’s like they wrote those characters just for me. 😂 This film was therapy for everyone who grew up having to deal with inter generational trauma and toxic families.

As a Colombian, the song "dos oruguitas" means so much for us and the country's history!

I love the the different families represent different triads. Abuelta's children represent the Past (Julieta's healing is repairing past mistakes), Present (Pepa's emotions are what she is feeling at the moment), the Bruno's visions of the Future. Also, Pepa's children represent the senses: Delores' Hearing, Sight (Camilio's shapeshifting allows him to be seen in different ways) and Antonio's Speaking with animals. This also represents the See, Hear, Speak no evil. Maribel and her sisters represent Mind (Isabela always being concerned what others think about her being "perfect"...and how her power grows when she doesn't), Luisa's Body which means Maribel represents the Spirit.

Also, notice the butterfly symbolism: they’re stitched into Mirabel’s dress, and the she’s added a few more in colour herself. They’re stitched at the bottom of the Abuela’s black shawl-almost like a mourning shawl. And a butterfly is on the candle itself. The reconciliation song is about them growing up ‘out of their chrysalis’ (I.e. beyond the generational trauma (Abuela) and unhealthy expectations (Louisa, Isabela, Bruno)). Mirabel’s gift is to reunite the family by exposing the underlying weakness (cracks in the house) and bringing them together to make them whole again (one front door for everyone, rather than isolated doors).

I'm not ashamed to admit that, when the trailer came out, I wanted to watch this film for Luisa because I'm 100% a simp for a strong buff woman. HOWEVER the fact it's Colombian, has diverse characters with emotional struggles that weren't turned into jokes, and is about discussing and acknowledging generational trauma makes this film so so important. So happy you enjoyed and reacted!! Luisa stayed my favourite honestly (thank you middle child overcompensation complex that hit me wayyy too hard) and I've genuinely played Waiting On A Miracle every day for a week at least once.

the movie is about generational trauma in latino families, each of their gifts represent the role each family member plays in the family Abuela is the matriarch Julieta's healing power represents her being the one who picks up the pieces in the family Pepa's weather power represents her emotions, how they affect the family and how the family influence them Isabela is the perfect golden child, has to marry for status and to preserve the family Luisa is the eldest sister, carrying family problems on her back, resulting in pressure, stress and anxiety she wishes to break free from Dolores could be interpreted as the nosey cousin who knows everything about everyone, representing a family member who knows everyone's problems yet must keep quiet about all of them Camilo's shape shifting to me represents him being a people pleaser, changing himself according to the person or situation Bruno is the outcast, the one who doesn't typically agree with the family values, the black sheep, representing the same thing in latino families, that one relative who was exiled and we're not allowed to talk about (we see this with Hector in Coco too) Some people see Abuela as the villan. The reality is, she herself has suffered from trauma, having been chased out of her home from colonizers who also brutally murdered her husband in front of her. She had to raise triplets and make a home all by herself. Everything she did was to ensure her family would never have to go through that again, but, as is common in almost every latino household, this resulted in an insane amount of trauma, pressure, and expectations on the younger generations. The ending symbolizes breaking down that generational trauma (the broken house) and building a new foundation based on love and acceptance of every family member as they come.

9:27 "She's got such a good voice!" Yeah, she does! Can you ever imagine she was on Brooklyn 99? PLUS, when Stephanie Beatriz, Mirabel's VA, was called to record this song during the pandemic, she was 9 months pregnant and had gone into labor that morning. She was having contractions DURING the recording but didn't tell anyone bc she didn't want anyone to freak out. Less than 48 hours later, her daughter was born. She recorded "Waiting On a Miracle" while waiting for her miracle to arrive!

You are the first reactor I have seen that understood the house and town were her "door" upon first watch. Everyone else thinks she got powers or restored the powers. She is meant to be the next "Abuela". That's why she didn't get a door inside the house as a child.

I have been watching Encanto on repeat for days And just been singing all the songs on repeat especially "we don't talk about Bruno". Encanto is awesome and has such a beautiful lesson...the miracle is YOU not some gift just you and I love that. But it wasn't about not having gifts, it was about showing that the gifts aren't all they are. That's why Mirabel got none but now Mirabel is like the candle, even though she had no gift she is what holds the family together. The miracle wasn't the candle, it was the love for not just the gifts but the person behind the gift. Or at least that's how I see it.

In the end, she got her door (the front door) - she embodies the love an unity that holds the family together.

This movie is amazing, I’ve watched it so many times in a very short amount of time already, it’s a new comfort movie. Seeing how I grew up in a family with immigrant parents who always thought they were doing the right thing and never apologised for the mistakes they made (unlike Mirabel‘s abuela), I related to Mirabel and Bruno sm. It makes me cry sm bc the intergenerational trauma is smth I know myself as well and this movie is all about healing this very trauma and to be the one to break the cycle.

For me Louisa’s song at first was good fun and a great tune but then the message behind it and the emotions just make it so phenomenal, it’s my favourite moment in the film and she is my favourite character

I've seen this 3 times now in 1 week. I love it. No villain, just family and love. My daughter has just seen it with me and loves it too. Great reaction

Bruno is like the anti-disney twist villain

It's hard to choose a favorite, it started out being Luisa but then you meet more characters and I start listening other family members

Capybaras are the most chill animals on the planet. They will calmly hang out with... loads of other animals. Seriously, do some image searches for 'capybara with other animals'

I love how quick you got the message at the end there when you said, "oh.. that's HER door!" 🎶❤️

We don't talk about Bruno, but we sing about Bruno!

As a Latina, this movie made me feel so seen and actually having Latino representation outside of Mexico is so refreshing as well, I'm not Colombian but my environment is really similiar to the one shown in this movie so I really aprecciate it. Thanks for the reaction btw ^^

this movie is soooo good. a 10/10, also made me cry like a baby.

Abuela: "I'm sorry" Seb: "Aw, we forgive you" Me: "Speak for yourself"

I wish we could have seen at least a brief glimpse of every family member's room, or that there will be a sequel for us to see them. It would hv been cool to see Luisa's room early in the film (maybe w/ everything made of stone/ focused on her strength like the concept design), & then see Luisa's, Bruno's & Isabela's rooms *after* Casita is rebuilt, getting to see how they've changed w/ the new family dynamics, (I.e. Luisa given space to relax, & Isa having ALL kinds of plants, Mirabel hving her own room, etc)

18:07 If you didn't recognize this scream, Seb, the other character you've heard scream/yelp like that has a HEAVY lisp, ends up being the butt of the joke from his prehistoric friends, walks on two feet, and has large finger-like claws... and a LOT of space between his eyes. It's Sid the Sloth! John Leguizamo voices both of them.

the movie's over-arching message is about generational trauma actually! it conveys toxic family structures and there's not always one person to blame.

absolutely loved this movie!!! the visuals and music is just beautiful af and the message too 💙

Everyone says that Mirabelle‘s gift is empathy and connecting to the house, and while I agree, I think her real gift is getting people to open up to her through song 😂

I assume Mirabel's powers are in line with the grandmother's- a connection to the miracle itself, the house, and the protected place they live (perhaps hinting she'll eventually be stepping into the grandmother's family role when Abuela passes) My favorite character is Bruno, I feel like I have a lot in common with him as someone misunderstood. I'm a very practical, pragmatic woman so sometimes I give advice to my friends & family or "predict" consequences of someone's actions that seem like common sense to me, but it sometimes gets mistaken as me not caring about their feelings or wishing those things would happen. Like warning a cousin taking back a cheating bf that "once a cheater, always a cheater." First I get accused of being insensitive towards her heartbreak for being cheated on, then a couple months later when he does cheat again I get accused of having wanted that to happen even though I was trying my best to warn her against taking him back at all. Yeah, definitely feeling the Bruno character.

I have watched this movie so many times. I’m Hispanic but seeing the representation of this movie is freaking beautiful. Pale, brown, fair, dark, all of the beautiful skin colors. So beautifully done.

My partner watched this the day it came out and I woke up from a nap at the credits. It was really cute how he rewatched it with his eyes on me the entire time during my first watch.

My daughter has had this movie on repeat since it came out so I know every word to every song lol

6:47 That little "I need you." has ALWAYS made every RU-vidr cry at most, or "AWWWWWW" at least!

We dont talk about bruno is the catchiest for me

There's an interesting Reddit theory I love that points out that each group of siblings & powers are divided into threes, i.e.: Julieta, Pepa, & Bruno - powers are based on the past, present, & future. * Julieta cures wounds created in the past * Pepa changes the weather in the present * Bruno predicts the future Dolores, Camilo, & Antonio - powers are based on the sayings hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil. * Dolores has super hearing powers * Camilo can take on anyone’s appearance * Antonio can understand animals Isabela, Luisa, & Mirabel - powers are based on beauty, brawn, & brain. * Isabela produces beautiful plants * Luisa is so strong that she can move buildings * Mirabel doesn’t have powers like the rest, but she’s the brain that pieces everything together

"Why did the door close for her?" Because Mirabel already had her door. It was the front door of casita. Notice that when Mirabel touched the candle the flame turned into Abuela. She's the next keeper of the Miracle.

You might be the only person who reacted by saying that it might not be such a terrible thing if Antonio didn't get a gift b/c it would mean that A) Mirabel wasn't the only one w/o a gift and B) that it's not terrible that you didn't have a gift. All the other reactions I've seen were relieved when Antonio got his power. Thanks for this reaction~

Mirabelles gift is the new ruler of the house and family- same thing as abuela

My favorite is absolutely Camilo, he didn't have that much of screen time, but i love his attitude

My favorite character is definitely Casita, though the most relateable to me would be Pepa (The nervous wreck) or Luisa (The one who has to be strong) Ik, kind of a contradiction

Im ok with them getting their gifts back. We came full circle. Before they had so much pressure on them, but now they dont, and now they can be an actual happy magical family

I cried when I saw this in the theater. I cried even harder the second time I saw it at home. Such a good movie. As the oldest of 3 girls in a military family, I relate so much to Isabella and Luisa, expected to be strong and perfect and how that can just completely overwhelm anyone. I honestly cannot choose a favorite character, I love them all! Yes, even Abuela.

why he said that mirabel was gonna get cast out by her mom i think he got abuela confused with her mother; mirabel moms is the one that heals people with food and her abuela is the old lady in magenta.

I was shocked to find out Rosa from Brooklyn 99 is the voice of Mirabel 😅. Also I have a headcanon that Dolores may have made up the part about 5 babies to try and dissuade Isabella from accepting the proposal.

One thing that few people noticed is that when Mirabel is standing in front of Abuela who is holding the candle, she offers her the candle for Mirabel to touch and proceeds to touch the doorknob that would be hers, but before touching the doorknob, Mirabel passes her hands over her own clothes, that is, she passes the miracle of the candle on herself. She becomes the candle, her handle is herself.

I just started to see the reaction but the whisper "I need you" aaw It melted my heart 💛

This is the theory that Maribel has the same Don as the grandmother, to deliver gifts and communicate with the house, in addition to keeping the family together, she did not receive her door as a child because perhaps the grandmother saw it more as a duty, more than from the heart, so it was because of the grandmother, while with the cousin, as Maribel believed in him, he gave him the gift, apart from the fact that the candle represented how fragile the miracle of the grandmother was, while in the end the miracle of Mirabel is represented with the Door, which comes to indicate that it is strong, for the next generations of the Door, which comes to indicate that it is strong, for the next generations of the family, well all that is theory, but it is nice to think that 💜

i thought her gift was seeing things in others they couldn't see in themselves. if you rewatch the movie, take note of every time you hear the word "see", it's almost always connected to mirabel. she's also the only one with glasses. I originally thought it could also be connected to her name as Mirar (conjugated to mira) can mean "to watch" in Spanish, but Mirabel actually means "wonderous"

The story for me us less about "you're fine without your gifts" and more about "you are more than what you have to offer others". Luisa was stressed out of her mind worrying that she'd have to carry every family and village berdan for the rest of her life, Isabella was always trying to be perfect to uphold the family's stature in the community, Julietta was constantly cooking enough food every day to feed an entire village worth of sick and injured and Pepa had to have constant and complete control over her emotions go help the community as well. They were existing only to keep other people happy and not just living for themselves, which is a sad way to be. Allowing that generational trauma to be broken and showing everyone the way back to the lives they deserve is Mirabel's true gift 🥰 I have no doubt that if they make a second film it's going to be about her becoming the new family matriarch

Stephanie Beatriz was actually in labour while recording "Waiting on a Miracle" but at first she didn't know, then once she realized she was in the middle of recording and didn't want to panic anyone, so didn't say anything.

If you go back to ,,We don't talk about Bruno song" during Dolores part, she actually hints that she knows that Bruno is in the house and doesn't talk bad about him. Also in same part when Dorores is singing there for Mirabel, you can actually see Bruno walking in the background of ground floor and then on first floor. He was even vibing there with song about him, swinging his head to music.

it still makes me so angry when they didn't include her in the family photo, but it drives home how little they think about her.

Lin Manuel Miranda did the songs for this movie. Probably best known for Hamilton (which I would reccommend - also on Disney Plus). If you want more I would also suggest "In the Heights" another Lin Manuel Miranda musical as well as "Tick Tick Boom". Music is by Jonathan Larson but Lin directed the film.

I don't know a single person who's seen this who A) HASN'T already watched it multiple times, and B) HASN'T started listening to the soundtrack on repeat. I have coworkers who _haven't even seen it yet_ who know the words to the songs, because they're topping the charts everywhere. As to your question, I _definitely_ relate to Luisa the most! I love all of them, but definitely Luisa for me.

Seb, sure someone pointed it out; but Doloros outright talks about the fact that she hears him during "we dont talk about Bruno" and than further confirms it at the finale about "[she] heard it every day".

Mirabel is the GOAT! I've never connected so quickly to a character in Disney before.

The cool thing about Dolores. She knew Bruno was still around and she most likely gave him food and stuff. :) do many small details like that you need to think about too. My favorite characters were Bruno, Isabella and Maribel and her parents. :)

We Don't Talk About Bruno is my favorite Disney song now.

I love this one, the capibara is my favourite character. I already know how to play all of the songs and they are stuck in my head ever since i watched the movie. I do agree that in a better ending they wouldn't have gotten their gifts back, but that is my only complaint

Abuelo Pedro is my favorite character ❤️

Mirabel is my favorite. As the family outcast in a Latino family, I really related to her. But, the Tucan is my favorite support character!

I must say, I’ve never cried while watching a Disney movie (almost during the Lion King but not completely) but this movie was so good and emotional (I think we all do have some similar problems in our own families, for me it’s my grandma for who I will never be good enough like my sister even tho I try to be here for her more often). Plus the cinematography, songs and great characters make it easily one of my 3 most favorite Disney movies (and defenetly the best Disney movie from this century).

Mirabel gift is empathy and knowing qhat her family needs emotionally. She was always intuned with the house

Julieta(mirabel’s mom) was my favorite character. I loved how supportive and positive she was towards Mirabel. She was the only one who believed she was special even when Mirabel didn’t believe it.

i'm glad i waited to watch it myself before seeing reactions or movie breakdowns, these movies are something that you need a fresh mind for.

So im on my iPad and I look over and my 5 year old son is watching this reaction on my cell phone… lol… ur very entertaining and family friendly at the same time… good job.. keep up the great work big dawg

Bruno is my favorite 😊. He's such a precious dork

If you haven’t looked it up yet, the voice actress for Mirabel is Stephanie Beatriz, who plays Officer Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine Nine.

The bigger on the inside line was actually a Doctor Who reference because one of the directors is actually a Doctor Who fan.

20:48 "I'm just waiting for her to hear the pin drop, that he's in the house." In Dolores' part in "We Don't Talk About Bruno," she says "I CAN ALWAYS HEAR HIM sort of muttering and mumbling, I associate him with the sound of falling sand," meaning she could hear him muttering to himself in the walls and the "sand" was probably him throwing salt over his shoulder because he's so superstitious. She also says "It's like I hear him now; I can hear him now, I CAN HEAR HIM NOW." So when she says she knew he was there the whole time, she means it. Now: Why didn't she say anything to the family? My guess is that she either thought she was going crazy with the pressure of knowing EVERYONE's secrets at all times, and thought she was just imagining it. OR, as some fans have theorized, she kept it a secret because she listened in on the "telenovelas" he put on for himself with his rat friends. If she had given him away, she wouldn't have heard the ends of the stories and she likes the DRAMA lol. Also, the family relies on her to tell them all the gossip in town, and to have just this one secret to herself that she didn't have to tell anybody must have felt relieving for her.

my family and i are absolutely *in love* with this movie and the soundtrack during christmas and new years the only songs we played were off the soundtrack lol happy new year seb

Saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia My friend. Encanto is a beautiful movie. Thanks My friend for your reaction. Happy new year. God bless You.

honestly my favorite character is camilo. there’s so much unexplored potential with his character and i’d love to see a sequel about him. he’s a teenage boy who is trying to find himself and grow up and there could be a lot of topics discussed in his storyline that disney has never tackled

Okay, I love this movie and the reaction!! But OMG your shirt is the BEST

You’re very funny, so many chuckles! This is my favorite Disney movie, and top 3 favorite of all time. This music was my most played music last year lol

In the we don't talk about bruno you can see Bruno in the Background by dolores part and you look closly you can see him vibing to his own song

What a great reaction! I genuinely loved Mirebel, she was so sad and yet still tried to live up to the family expectation (as did everyone) and I think she did it in a positive manner and from her heart and I love that.

Favorite character… Luisa. As a Mexican American who takes care of her father… I’m expected to do all for my father. My child followed her dreams and is working where she dreamed of as a child, half way across the country. I take care of my dad while I get help from a few of my four siblings and a single nephew out of his many grandchildren. Luisa has to take on the pressure of family and it’s expected by all of those around her…

What time to have all of these songs stuck in my head for the next week again

9:00 she has a power! She can freeze time!!! Also Mirabel didn’t get a power because she wiped her hand on her dress, and the one who hears everything anywhere near her heard the cracks

I figured it out guys! The house loves mirabel so much that he didn’t want her to have her own room cause he can’t go in their rooms or whatever.. like Bruno’s room.. so her staying in the nursery meant the house could work as a team with her on the daily! Her house is her gift and that’s why instead of getting a room she got the front door and brought life back to the house! :P just a silly fun theory

ahh was so happy to see you reacted to this!! love this movie so much

OMG FINALLY !! I was waiting for your reaction to this film. I love your reaction as much as the film haha

Dunno if you’ll see this since it’s months after you asked, but my favorite character is Bruno. He’s just perfect.

it took a while to belive Rosa Diaz is also played by Mirabel's VA (but Diane Guerrero was easy thanks to her many voices on Doom Patrol)

Did you know? In the song 'We don't talk about Bruno' everyone say's mean stuff about him all but one. The one is Dolorous since she has super hearing so she must off heard Bruno and everything. Bonus! But this also could lead to her being the villian if she could hear Bruno why didn't she told her family? If she did the family and Bruno could be back as a family!! And not going through house crashing and all that!!

She is heart of the hous!

I love your reaction! I have watched it like 3 times already and I am singing the songs still both in english and spanish, specially Bruno's and familia Madrigal ❤

Finally got Disney+ over in my country, so I can go back to all the Disney reactions I've not seen before, thrilled! This was such a lovely, colourful story.

This movie has a beautiful message that everyone is special, no matter what. As a Latin American guy, I'm happy to see this movie getting so much attention. I love how well they've mixed English and Spanish here. Even though I'm not Colombian, this movie made me so happy with its representation. And I can see in other comments that Colombian people is proud with it so that is something well-made.

I love Bruno, such a great character.

Kinda wanted to see more of you reaction of the Dos Oruguitas song as well as what happens in that part but also kind of happy you didn't because I cry every time that part comes on.

I've been thinking about why Mirabel didn't get a gift. There's the theory that Casita knew she would be more helpful to the family without one, but I've also considered that Julieta's side of the family seems to bear more stress and a sense of responsibility than Pepa's. Pepa and her kids' gifts are centered around their emotional and social traits, while Julieta and her kids have gifts that they actively use to help others and project an image (in the case of Isabella). I think that level of pressure was too much for little Mirabel, who didn't know what she wanted to be other than just a useful part of her amazing family. Because her heart is centered on family, the house itself is more centered on her than the others (outside of Abuela) and it couldn't give her more than that.
