@@アキコ2003 It unfortunately underperformed at the box office, likely due to pandemic. That may problematic for Disney, but so far on Disney+ people are loving it so hopefully the goodwill means that Disney will keep this going. A walkaround Mirabel has already appeared at the Disney parks so hopefully it’s a good sign.
@@myriadmediamusings Yeah, I've noticed that people keep talking about it now that it's on Disney+ and I'm starting to think it's slowly getting the love and appreciation and attention it deserves. I just think it deserves so much more at the box office.
It hasnt been out for a month and youtubers are already reacting to it.... it isn't underrated and i doubt it will fall into obscurity. It is moana and tangled combined asthetically. For underrated..... Has anyone seen Book of Life??? Was first movie i saw about latino culture and it got forgotten due to Coco. For this movie, Encanto, i loved it. Was ugly crying in theater and luisa song gave me a panic attack. Women in my family carry too much. Its too on the dot.
As a Colombian, I can confirm that the only thing about this movie that isn’t realistic is the abuelita admitting she was wrong, apologizing, and then changing
TBH, there have been a lot of films about this kind of generational conflict lately that disregard how unlikely the older generation is to change. (Looking at you Mitchels vs the Machines)
I’m Mexican but abuela’s story broke me because it reminds of the stories my mom will tell me about her time crossing the border and her traumatic experiences and it pains me to imagine what all my mom went through 😞
I think that the house itself became her room, so when she became to doubt herself and feel all that pressure, her soul cracked and so her room. In fact Bruno was already dealing with the cracks which were inside the house's wall since before he even meeting Mirabel
Ay dios mio, llore! My family immigrated from Guatemala when I was seven to the US, and I knew nothing of the language and being put in school where everything was different and kids were bullies because I wasn't American has scarred me to this day. As the eldest but also child of an immigrant, I had to be strong, to be perfect with grades, to learn english (don't speak Spanish, I was told by school councilors), smart and aspire to be the first in my family to go to college and earn a living. However, I wasn't very academically smart (wtf No Child Left Behind shit testing). My father tells us stories of his growing up in unimaginable poverty, and his dreams of being a singer, and of crossing the border with his brothers at 15. My parents have given all they could and still grind at work to support us, so the guilt of not being the best is real. Luisa and Isabella really spoke to me. This movie is my new Disney movie of all time
I have spent the last 2 days watching this movie and reactions over and over. I can't get over how good this movie is and the music is incredible. I still sob each time.
I'm with those who reckon that Mirabel's gift (which she was either given or was born with and so didn't need one from the house) is her sense of empathy.
I love everything about this movie, even the flaws of the characters. And the reason why you can tell the music sounds Colombian-themed is because it IS Colombian-themed. Lin-Manuel always does his research to make his music authentic as heck. During the first song, you can literally see a house that says Colombia on the side of it. Lol And just a little trivia - Casita (aka Abuelo) plans everything, even the future. Mirabel’s outfit consists of mariposas, and her skirt has a candle, which has me wondering that Casita makes their wardrobe. This outfit basically tells us what her Gift is - the new Matriarch. Her Abuela never had a Gift when the miracle happened.
For some reason I always thought that the reason the house was brought to life was because the house has the spirit of Pedro(Abuela's significant other). the reason why it cracked was because Pedro wanted to open Abuela's eyes and show her why she got the miracle. Encanto has comedy, an amazing soundtrack, character development, relatable family problems, and the characters themselves!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This movie was THE best thing I've ever seen in 2021, literally. I've never been attached to something like this before, its beautiful and amazing, i really hope Disney will make similar stuff in the future
I just saw Encanto a few hours ago and literally never cried from any movie (animated or not) since Pixar's Inside Out I may not be South American (I'm asian btw), but what Maribel went thru hit too close to home. About proving one's self worth, being sort of the black sheep in the family and thinking you would never measure up to such unbelievable high standards What a beautiful movie
Colombian here not only when watching this movie I was anylizing it I also was bawling my eyes out my eyes became a waterfall of tears during Dos Oruguitas and I loved the movie it is acurate and it made me miss colombia so much I have not visited in 3 years because of covid this movie is made for us and is a work of art
Mirabel is my favorite,i didn't liked how Abuela treated her!And i didn't liked how Bruno was treated at first either!Mirabel didn't treated him badly because she knows how it feels to be an outcast or like the black ship of the family.The family needs to recover slowly,Abuela needs to recover,everyonr from the family needs to recover
This movie taught me a very valuable lesson: We all have a purpose in life and that we play a very important role in this world as well as that the fact that we can't discover our gift at a young age doesn't mean that we aren't special, instead, it means that our gift or talent is way more special than what we can imagine. In addition to that, it teaches us how special our family is and that they are the foundation of who we are. A very beautiful movie with a strong message.
Glad you react to encanto, I'm from Colombia and i cry a lot with the context of the "desplazados" because Is a reality in my country, you are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I love how for most of the movie, you saw pretty much everything coming... except for Abuela's story. That obviously hit you like a ton of bricks, as it did all of us. Heck, I get teary-eyed every time I watch that scene.
i always read that line of "the best some of us can do is step aside" was abuela talking about herself too, yes she was harsh but she never meant any hurt, she was just paranoid
I hope that this movie gets brought to Broadway like some of the others (Frozen, Lion King, Etc) this seems like itd be AMAZING as a stage production considering they could use the house as the main backdrop.
This was such a great movie!!! It really exceeded my expectations!! ❤ (I feel like most of the family's problems could've have been resolved if they had some sort of therapy though, but you don't often see that in a Disney movie I guess.... 🤣🤣)
I think part of what kept Mirabel so positive is she DID have a majority of her family that treated her well - specefically Luisa (her strong sister), her older cousin Dolores, her aunt and uncle Pepe and Felix, her parents, and (later on) her baby cousin Antonio, as well as the majority of the town. It was mostly her Abuela, and her sister Isabella, that put her down. Her middle cousin, the shapeshifter, seemed to be more neutral to her. Meanwhile, during the climax sequence, where we see what really happened to the grandfather, that was positively the most perfect expression of grief and loss I have ever seen on a character in any medium. EVER.
I think it's the only Disney movie when everyone can identify to a character and not only the hero. Personally, I identify myself to Isabela because I'm the big sister and to Mirabel because I have ASD and feel like an outcast in my family because of it (my parents do with but my sisters don't really accept it)
All the comments here are about the movies Story and message, and I can't say it better then the others did, so I'm just here to give you the fun fact that Abuela's singing voice is Olga Meridez, who plays Abuela Claudia in In The Hights
Thank you for the great reaction! 🙏🥰 After watching this a gazillion times, it still did not occur to me until another reactor pointed it out, that the reason Dolores couldn't keep the secret at dinner was because it was a proposal dinner for Isabela and Mariano 😅 Dolores was in love with Mariano so she sabotaged the dinner on purpose! I think the only reason she held out so long was because she knew it would also get Mirabel in trouble which she didn't want to do but in the end I guess she was just like naw, I gotta shoot my shot here 🤣 Keep up the awesome content! 🥰😍
Some songs are sung by Colombians! the last songs “Colombia Mi Encanto” is sung by Carlos Vives a very popular Colombian singer! :DD Fun fact: before I was born my parents met his brother on a cruise ship and my dads is very good friends with his cousin and used to get free tickets for all his concerts ☺️
My Aunt And I Watched This On New Years Eve At The Movie Theater. ( We're Kids At Heart). We Almost Cried At The Lake Scene When Grandma And Granddaughter Reunited.
"They give us coffee since we're five years old" my brother is literally 1y6m and my parents started giving him coffee months ago latinos are no joke bruh
One of the things that is... somewhat amusing to me is that... between this and Coco, I feel like it gives the impression that Hispanic cultures... disproportionately suffer from intergenerational trauma. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that these kinds of traumas aren't or weren't real. Also, Coco had Ernesto as the tangible villain. It's just... interesting that both of the movies featuring Hispanic culture that they've put out recently have intergenerational trauma as the "real" villain XD And no, I'm not being COMPLETELY serious in saying this. It's just something that I've noticed. I can't wait for Cinema Therapy to tackle Encanto, the way they did Coco.
I'm Mexican but personally I liked encanto more then coco as encanto wasn't centered on a holiday, it took place in Colombia and showed some of there food etc while still having it's own story going on 😭✋ meanwhile coco took place on the day of the dead and didn't really show other forms of music besides mariachi 💀
Mirabel is the candle. It was the candle that brought magic and miracle to the house the first time with Abuela .. And in absence of the candle, Mirabel, the human candle fixes it. The reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because she is the gift.
personally i feel regardless of nationality,,,, we all share the same ethnic origins with spanish conquistadors and native oppression so the way this film addressed the generational trauma as results from this in such an honest and beautiful way i related much more to this than coco and i’m actually mexican lol thanks for the reaction and your insights!!!
"Was this like to teach grandma a lesson? Like, grandma was too caught up in the gifts and not the family?" H-how'd you figure it out, spot-on, so early??
It was actually an allegory for the violence civilians face even today with the guerrilla groups who are military independent groups but serve their own interests
"Look at whwhahat? She's a rahainbow! What have youu doone?"🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Did you know that Pepa's and Felix' voices are actual professional colombian singers??? Mauro Castillo and Carolina Gaitán. He used to be the lead singer from Grupo Niche and she's an amazing composer and singer.
You are not the only person who saw the mother cooking and thought it was a popousa. I thought it was that also to the point that I went to buy some because it made me hungry lol.
Yo "why am I clapping" - you're not, you're stimming, it's a common thing autistic people do but also just, yk, people do in general, it's like people who tap their fingers or leg-twitch when they're nervous, it's self soothing. Usually the urge is to tap on something close to us but if we don't have anything in our immediate sphere we'll tap our hands or fingers together. It's why autistic kids (who do it a lot more than most peeps) will hand-flap and tap their fingers together and stuff. Basically you're having big feels and instinctively regulating them. Great vid :D just, yk, you asked :) don't worry btw that scene killed me too. Moreso when I re-watched the movie and compared the flashback at the beginning (which is a very typical Disney sanitised version of a trauma) to the flashback in that scene which is much more gritty and grown up. Watching Alma reaching out to Pedro and screaming as she clutched their kids and watched him die, just, damn, that messed me up.
Mirabel didn't receive a gift because she is the gift. The door disappeared because the house is her "room," hence the doorknob at the end with the M on it (it could have stood for Madrigal though). This is just my thoughts on it though
Correction. They need to be nice to each other. To let off with the pressure. To stop with the blaming and the masks. The public personas of the perfect Madrigals. To let each other be imperfect. To see themselves and others beyond their gifts. To love each other freely. Thats what they lost sight of over time, why the magic weakened and the house fell. And it came back once they acheived and maintained those goals.
Capybaras (the animal you couldn't remember the name of and added later in subtitles) are basically huge guinea pigs, right down to being rodents - the world's biggest rodent. Apparently they do best in groups, and love water.
Unpopular opinion- Abuela doesn't deserve the forgiveness after the abuse/trauma of multiple people across multiple generations. She's in the same boat as Professor Snape as far as I'm concerned. He didn't deserve redemption.
