My theory is that Maribel's door vanished because her actual door was the main door to the house in the end. That's why she was connected to casita.

[DoctorSciencetime]

I love when people realize that Abuela wasn't just trying to hold people up to impossible standards, but was driven by a deep subconscious fear that the safety and security they'd been gifted with would be snatched away all over again

[CorvidQueen]

There's a popular theory that the spirit of Casita is their Abuelo Pedro; the miracle candle became magical after he died, as if he was trying to still make sure his family was safe. Especially since the moment that happened, the very landscape itself changed so the invaders couldn't get to the town. The theory states that the spirit of Casita being Pedro is a big reason why it acts so playful yet responsible, like the stereotypical 'fun grandpa'.

Alongside that is the unspoken truth that Mirabel is meant to be the next Abuela, since Abuela herself doesn't have a gift. They're both focused on keeping the family together and happy, and Abuela is getting up in age. When she passes, Mirabel is going to be the next Keeper of the Candle, and once she starts getting old, another person without the usual 'gift' will be born to take her place.

that river where abuela and Mirabel hug is really in Colombia and it really is pink and red. it's called Cano Cristales.

This is when I love it when Disney is Original. They can make such wonderful stories we can relate to. I still love this movie and the tunes are still catchy and the message is something we all need to hear: We all matter.

You may already be aware of this, but the sort of "thing" with musicals is that the singing and dancing represent periods of intense emotions, something they feel so passionately about that they can no longer just speak it. If the story were in real life they wouldn't necessarily be singing, it's just a way to show the audience how the character is feeling, so it doesn't particularly mean anything for their actual singing/songwriting abilities lol :)

I think an interesting detail is that everyone’s room is connected to their power and nothing else. No one seems to have any other hobbies or interests except one person: Mirabel with her embroidery and sewing skills. Since Mirabel wasn’t assigned her one trait that abuela could focus on, she was allowed the freedom to cultivate her own interests outside of the miracle.
The only other person to have a different interest: Bruno with his rat tv and superstitions.

[TheAlmaward]

When they say "encanto" (which means "enchantment"), they're talking about the enchanted candle. The house is Casita. :)

I love this movie. Such a beautiful and poignant story about generational trauma. I love that there was no actual villain, just people who needed understanding and healing. Thank you for sharing your reaction!

[TurtleMaster]

7:57 When I first watched this movie, I thought she gained the gift to freeze time or something 😂

That rainbow river actually exists in Colombia it's called Caño Cristales. Also the valley of Encanto, it's called Valle de Cocora. Great heartfelt reaction!

[Drake]

The prevailing theory is that Mirabel's gift all along was to be the successor to Abuela. Mirabel and Abuela are the only ones who really speak directly to Casita (which people are also fairly sure is infused with Abuelo's soul) and directly interact with it. Her role is to take the family past the trauma that was the foundation of the Casita under Abuela and lead it into a new place of growth and love without all of the weight of expectations. And, heck, the two people who don't have these... extra-dimensional rooms like we see the other family members having are Abuela and Mirabel. The Casita is fundamentally their room, reinforced by the house being brought back to life with Mirabel's door as the front door of the house.

[ShaggyLad]

Lovely movie, and lovely reaction! The flashback to Abuela's backstory gets me every time. You have such a pleasant voice and personality. Can't wait to check out more from you. :)

[redacted]

No insult intended, but you remind me of my Grandmother who passed when I was a child. I never got to appreciate her personality and positive influence with an adult perspective, so It feels nice to watch movies with you. I wish she could see all the wonderful things going on in the world....

[jacobmcdaniel]

Mirabel inherited her Abuela's gift, not inherently magical, but the one to continue the Encanto when Abuela is gone :)

[theonewhoeatslemons]

Maribel is so underrated. She spends the whole movie trying to save a miracle that she had no part of, when she had every reason to resent it.

[nathanisaac]

"Am I fighting or hugging?" She was ready for either
😆

[dcemerald]

Excellent reaction! This film literally delivers on how the true magic wasn’t the gifts, but it was literally the love and the support that the family needed to embrace that was the true magic. 🕯🦋💛

I love this channel. Love whatching an emotionally intelligent genius react to movies. Your crying helps me cry, and i need that sometimes.

[Stardust_]

"Encanto" means "enchantment". 🥰
