I Watched **ENCANTO** For The FIRST Time (Bruno Deserves So Much Better) 

Just wanted to say: After editing I realised Bruno WASNT banished I’m just dumb AND We Don’t Talk About Bruno has been on repeat the past couple days

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!

WAIT A minute i never noticed Bruno walking in the background????? My life is in shambles now

I think the hug vision is both Isabella and Abuela at the same time, just happened at different times in reality. Bruno stated that his vision is out of order so... yeah.

*Ariana's shaking i just know it* the lil shake you did at 1:27 had me weak Honestly i need more of you singing. That miracle note tho!! lmao

In the part where Isabela was singing I'm Fine, Dolores was singing it to, they were singing it together. Its a nice detail to show how their wants somewhat alight and they both aren't fine because of the same person

18:28 IM DYING AT YOU NOT KNOWING THAT THE MUSIC WAS WRITTEN BY LIN BEFOREHAND BUT REALIZING IT PURELY BC BRUNOS PART HERE WAS SO CLEARLY & UNDENIABLY WRITTEN FOR HIM TO SING HIMSELF 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This section & the final section of WE Don't Talk About Bruno are both just so obviously "Lin" that it almost hurts lmaoooo

The thing with the picture bit, for me, is that she didn't even try to get into the picture. It wasn't like they told her she wasn't allowed. Abuela said "everyone gather round!" And Mirabel didn't move. That said... how badly must she have internalized all of this to assume she's not invited into the family picture?

Can we get a full length album of you singing along to intro themes? The people thank you in advance

I love how the curly hair and glasses on Mirabel aren't being used to tell the audience that this character is suppose to be seen as ugly. I don't remember if Disney ever used the trope, but it's nice to see those shown in a positive way. There was a concept art of Isabella mocking Mirabel's glasses, but they didn't use it in the film.

Here’s my take: Mirabel was never given a gift because she was meant to expose how the grandma unconsciously projected her repressed trauma to her family by setting them up to unattainable expectations that was crushing them from the inside. If she received a gift, she would have been like most of her family; pressured, depressed, and anxious to even notice what was going on and in turn leaving no one to save the house and the family.

For non colombians or latinos: A little explanation of the historial context of the song and scene of 'Dos Oruguitas', Colombia in the past suffered a great wave of violence, especially of armed conflicts, criminal gangs and drug trafficking, this problems start affectting people who lived in villages, indigenous and afro-descendant communities, the criminal gangs went to the villages to loot, burn them, imprison children for their wars and even make massacres in them, so many of those who lived in those types of villages doesn't have other option but to leave their homes in search of a safer place. Los desplazados or forced displacement is a big problem in Colombia and other parts of latinoamerica as it continues to happen to this day. As a latina, I'm glad that disney reference this huge problem in colombia with respect because is really a big part of their history and families.

I’ve seen a lot people say that the reason Mirabel doesn’t get a gift is because she’ll be the keeper of the miracle after her grandmother passes and that she’ll be the new person in charge. The miracle/candle needs someone to keep the magic alive and that job will pass on to Mirabel :)

Great reaction! I can't believe that you cut out "Surface Pressure"! The house dying hurt more then I though it would!

I thought it was Bruno walking in the background but then when I saw the bucket I realized it was Jorge, he makes the spackle.

Fun fact: Yes, Bruno is the green person vibing to Dolores’s rap

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.

At first I thought Bruno was going to be a scary villain, but in the end, he was just an outcast in the family whom Mirabel tried to bring into the family

I think the miracle is a combination of many factors: the love energy originated from Abuelo's sacrifice, the grief from Abuela's tears spilled on the ground, Abuelo's spirit trying to save his family by becoming one with the candle, and also some divine intervention/justice (since God/saints/angels intervening when good virtuous people suffer some kind of injustice are common occurences/stories in Latino American culture and popular Catholicism. The town in wich Encanto is located on is also clearly and heavily influenced by Catholicism, as we can see with the priest and the local church)

Luisa’s songs hits if you are not an only child

the nuts thing is during almost the whole movie I kept rolling my eyes and getting more and more angry with Abuela until Dos Oruguitas where we get to see her perspective. The villain in this whole thing was intergenerational trauma. I'm not Colombian so I can't speak for them but as a black woman I did/do see so much of this within my own family. Yes Abuela was definitely wrong for how much pressure she put not just on her son who couldn't control the future but just see it but also on her grandchildren because she's stuck in two cycles. She demands perfection from Isabela because she can have the perfect life, spouse and family without hardships she wanted and she demands constant strength from Luisa because she's had to be strong for an entire town for over 50 years so there's no time for weakness in her mind while Mirabel is the free spirit she used to be before colonialism took her husband from her; someone she misses being. she never healed from her trauma and that carried over into the next generations. The antagonist was Abuela but the villain was the stain and continued trauma that is not dealt with within families, mostly families of colour

Honestly, Abuela is probably my favourite character because of just how complex she is. She's such a grey character, though she's leaning more heavily to the good spectrum. She's genuinely a good person, she really does want to help her community and we can tell underneath her surface she cares for her family. But because of her trauma and loss then being given a gift, a second chance, she is so desperate not to lose it again that she ends up hurting her family. In the end, there's no more candle. The candle was born from trauma, Abuela keeping it around just shows that she hasn't completely moved on from that trauma. Then in the end, when their magic returns but there's no more candle, Abuela was finally able to move on. The gift no longer came from a traumatic memory, it now comes from the love of the family. Abuela is so complex, so well written, she ends up being such a fascinating character to analyse. Because of that, she is definitely one of my favourite characters.

Some people think Mariano is much but honestly I think he’s a good match for Dolores. Considering who her parents are it’s understandable and are good match as well. One is emotional but passionate. The other is more grounded and supportive. Mariano is just a romantic that moves as a fast pace. Dolores calms him down, like Felix with Pepa, but admires his passion. Dolores probably felt like her gift was a problem to be with people because people keep secrets and she hears everything. Mariano is loud and open showing that they can be themselves around each other.

they werent talking shit about bruno for years- literally his absence is so massive they wont utter his name for fear of bringing up abuela's distress. I dont know if its clear or not, but abuela never got to hear the prophecy bruno made, from her point of view she asked for a prophecy about mirabel, then bruno never returns! its understandable the way she has anxiety about her role in keeping the miracle going- her behaviour to mirabel was not okay though

As a latino i was struck at the thematic similarities this film has with Coco. Both films are about a family suffering from generational trauma. The main difference is that the Rivera family in Coco is not dealing with their trauma and its not until Miguel steps up and reveals their real history himself that their trauma is addressed and dealt with. Here in Encanto, the Madrigal family is well aware of their generational trauma but the way they've gone about dealing with it is via a toxic compulsion to earn the second chance they've been given by being as perfect as possible and Mirabel steps up to call out the bullshit and usher in a more healthy and constructive way to deal with their trauma. The reason i brought up my latino heritage is because after this film I found myself asking a humorous question. What does it say about latin family structures that both times we got represented by Disney it was about dysfunctional families dealing with shitty behavior?

Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle and made the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle rebuilds and fixes. The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift.

you wanted more to luisa then cut out luisa's whole song :'( thats literally one of the best songs

I'm so excited you did a reaction for this movie! I'm Colombian so when this movie came out I was overjoyed knowing it's set in Colombia. Feeling represented in Disney is truly special. ❤

"i hope he (Bruno) gets a redemption arc" REDEMTION OF WHAT.

I love encanto, honestly, but the most unrealistic thing is not giving people magical power, but abuela realizing and accepting that she was wrong, even more apologizing. Latin mothers, especially grandmothers, are proud as heck and they'd die before admitting they were wrong. They rather make generations of trauma than apologizing.

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.

I agree with the title. Bruno deserves the whole world. Bruno is my favorite character, the house is the second

Girlie didn't show surface pressure

I feel like Rebecca just keeps getting better and better after each Disney intro😂🤩❣

Real ones saw this yesterday when she accidentally uploaded it

Pepa and Felix literally invented love

I love this movie I watched it twice and my favourite song is actually Luisa’s song, that’s just straight fire! That, Isabella‘s song and we don’t talk about Bruno are probably my favourites from the film.

Woohooo god I’ve literally seen this movie like ten times lmao

"She looks the same as she did when she was younger but grown". Yes that tends to be how aging works.

We don't talk about the accidental early release yesterday :P

I've literally been waiting for this all day, very excited to watch!

Happily part of the Bruno Defense Squad 🥰

I think mirabel is the gift. Thats why her door dissapear and why she could bring the house back alive. And her door is the front door.

As a Hispanic I am so happy to she a movie about Hispanics that not about Mexico no hate to Mexico but I want moreee

okay, seriously, Bruno does a whole ritual to get just one vision, so he made all that just to say the guy would be bald or someone would get fat? Damn, that seems kinda unnecesary

Honestly I respectfuly disagree, this is one of the best Disney movies I’ve ever seen (and defenetly the best one since The Lion King). And all the songs are just amazing, they all have meaning and tell a story, not like most of the songs in the movies that are here just becose it’s a Disney movie (Louisa sings about pressure and that she is not OK, Mirabel sings about being not OK and wants to make her family proud, Isabela sings about hiding her true self and being perfect just becose she is the Golden child and has to be flawless, etc.). But I guess it’s not your type of movie,.

I can't stop binging We dont talk about Bruno, its such a good song I love it too much.

I've been waiting and now it's finally here!

The first time i heared "We dont talk about Bruno" i felt personaly attacked

i'm so happy so many people are watching this :DDD

Is it just me that feels like I watched it like a couple days ago?

I love that theres no villain

I felt the same way you did at first honestly. It didn't hit all the marks for me on my first watch but actually the more I have watched it the more it has grown on me. I just have it on in the background while I am working today and when the songs come on it puts me in a good mood. Lin Manuel Miranda definitely has a specific style and it's very "broadway/stage musical" compared to most Disney films in my opinion, but the more I listen to the songs the more I like them. We Don't Talk About Bruno and Surface Pressure are definitely playlisted!

The director of the movie clarified that Delores was just fucking with Isabela about the five babies thing

17:36 "Abuela I can finally see" Rebbecca: without your glasses you won't

“they’re the outcasts but they’re my favourite”…ur gleek is showing bestie

Yasss I was waiting for you to watch this movie!

Not us saying oh Luisa together because I was like 😏😏 Edit: another musical song where the background slow is speechless from Aladdin

Please, I'd watch this again just for Bruno 😭💖

did i hallucinate this notification yesterday? im going crazy i swear

I am really enjoying your reactions!!

Ive been waiting ever since the movie came to theaters for this moment and its great

Well the magic was breaking because the family bond wasn’t strong because of abuelas expectations so Mirabel wasn’t given a gift to help them

the plate is a breaking point for most of us

Not me watching every Encanto movie reaction like it's my job

People probably already said this, but Dolores was also singing "I'm fine" with Isabella in "We Don't Talk About Bruno" I think you should watch the official lyrics video to see who sings what

I literally adore this movie

YES I was waiting for this

I screamed when I saw the notification ❤️❤️❤️ I love your vids and this movie 🍿🎥

OMG YES SO EXCITED TO SEE UR REACTION TO THUS

I HAVE BEEN WANTING YOU TO REACT TO THIS MASTERPIECE FOR A LONG TIME YESYES

You see what is missing would be what would be missing if you started Lord of the Rings with Return of the King, and had to piece the rest together with flashbacks. Each of the children's gifts were to protect the family, and we really did not get scenes where they each used their gifts to do that. I realize it adds to the family disharmony and would be perhaps another hour longer to go through each child and so on. I mean a shapeshifter with no big melodrama? A plant wizard that only does party bouquets?, A weather wizard that only does inconvenient rain? OK that was good. I saw this movie in Spanish, and OMG the songs were so much better! Better sung, better orchestrated, all of it was musically better and more enjoyable to hear.

I wanted to comment this on your last vid but for some reason I didn't?? But I absolutely ✨Love✨ your Disney Christmas jumper~! Literally just a really nice piece! And I also wanted to wish you a Happy (late) New Year~!! 🎊 Edit: I wanted to add, watching your reactions always make my day and I always look forward to your sassy commentary it's everything 😂💕

Pls not you skipping Surface Pressure after asking for more facets to Luisa😭✋

Theirs alot i loved about the animation in this film, the attention to the lil physical nuances latin american people have when communicating non-verbally is presented so well! Craziest thing to me tho was that Mirabel is voiced by Stephanie Beatriz 🤣 (rosa/b99

Awesome reaction but I still can’t believe u said nothing about Luisa……

The first thing my co worker said to me after he watched Encanto was “I finally found a Gilf I like.”

in the song it is not bruno walking inside the house, it is camillo

I think the dude who described Bruno as 7ft frame rats on his back, actually seen Bruno once in the middle of the night when Bruno was sneaking out to get food, and he had his rats with him. Kid was little seen Bruno in the middle of the night got scared Bruno called his name to reassure him he wasn't a monster and instead he passed out from fear so bruno put him back in bed and snuck back out.

I watched it on Saturday night and loved it so much!!! 💜💜💜💜

Did i just watch the same vid yesterday or am I just experiencing deja vu

I love that you noticed Bruno in the background of Dolores' part in We Don't Talk About Bruno. If I remember correctly, he can also be seen in the background of Pepa's and Felix's part, too!

My girl just skipped "Surface Pressure". Probably copyright, copyright sucks

OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING! ITS HAPPENING! IM READY! MY QUEEN! MAY YOUR PILLOW ALWAYS BE COLD!

girlie doesn't have generational trauma and it SHOWS like i was BAWLING when i watched this but ok laugh and smile while i dissociate for 5-7 business days

her:uploads me:the legend and godess has entered the building

Not me listening to We Don't Talk About Bruno on a 1 hour loop while watcging this.🤣 it's a bop only bc of Mirabel's cousins.🥰 11:36 i honestly think they asked him and he told them what's to happen in the future then they blamed him for telling them. Like what the heck?!

Clap it up for that Disney theme sing along that was amazing

wonderful singing at the beginning!

I think if you have doubts about Lin, you should watch hamilton. It's definitely different from the type of songs he wrote for disney. Way more heavily based in rap but it's really cool. I think you might like it but I'm just guessing that because I think we have similar taste based on your reaction to this LOL

i find it funny that bruno is voiced by sid from ice age

Waiting for this😻

I love this movie one of my favorite Disney movie and I love the soundtrack

One of the best reactions i've seen so far

"she's serving demi lovato camp rock" plz why did I get that reference immediately

Ah, if only I could sympathize with the story.... ...I am latino, btw, and both sides of my family have intergenerational trauma. But unfortunately, it has devolved into full on abuse and toxicity that will not be healed just by talking about it. If it could, one of my greatest fears for a while wouldn't have been that someone in my house would get so tired of taking care of my quickly deteriorating grandma that they'd try to kill her.

Some times i go on Rebecca’s Pixar movies just to hear her sing the Disney logo

Why didn’t you show the best Encanto song of all time, (Surface pressure) 🥺😢

Yes what your opinion

girl how were u not bawling
