Regarding Mirabel’s gift: I personally think that the magic absorbed into Mirabel’s dress when she wiped the candle residue on it and therefore the magic was in her the whole entire time.
For her gift to be (non-injury) repair, symbolized by her being introduced with a sewing machine in the present, her outfit embroidered all along one line as though it had a lengthwise rip, stain or burn to fix, her first song being about her whole family, the prophecy trying to show her repairing the house, and her getting the whole town rebuilding the house without magic. As though the magic family suddenly needed equality with the non-magic neighbors, and this prevented the community from resenting their dependence on the magic family with the "man-down strategy." also, Isabela, the Elsa of this family is queer. Maybe Bruno is also queer, and will maybe marry someone who has been widowed and adopt the coffee chorus children. That would explain why the creators specified that adopted children can have gifts.
To me Mirabel’s gift seems fairly obvious: her symbol is a butterfly. It means her gift is her ability to transform things so they can be a beautiful evolution of what they were. Everyone with powers learns a better and more free way to use them after her influence. Isabella starts going beyond perfect, Luisa frees herself from the pressure, Bruno sees his power in a different light, Abuela stops being so overbearing, the house is rebuilt and even the townspeople become a closer community. If everyone at the beginning of the film were a caterpillar, Mirabel would be the cocoon that turns them into a butterfly. Her power is transformation, which is why she doesn’t have a room, because there’s no point in her having one.
Now that you have said that i feel like the perfect power/gift for her would be able to transform things or anyone into anything basically just like sersi
My personal theory: The candle had to go. It was part of what kept Alma focused on the magic, not who the magic was for. That's why when Mirabel reawoke it, it was without a candle.
That is true ... also throughout the movie, I saw Mirabel and Casita communicate with each other but I never saw anyone else talk to Casita! My theory: Mirabel is the only one that can communicate with Casita OR she's the only one that treats Casita like more than a house, because she has no gift and spends a lot of time alone so Casita was her only friend growing up
The whole thing with Abuelito Pedro being Casita would make way too much sense!! The fact the his spirit lives in the house, he protects and watches over his family… he’s basically the family’s guardian Angel… too much of a coincidence. ❤️❤️❤️
Since everyone’s room is to help flourish and nurture their gifts, it makes sense that the casita is Maribel’s “room” since her gift is loving and nurturing her family. To have that gift grow and flourish, she needs access to the whole house where everyone is!
After Casita is reanimated if you look at the doors on the second floor none of them have people's names or pictures on them any more, they're just sparkly like before they are assigned. When the producer was tweeting about it he hinted you should look at the end to see the answer for the "Why doesn't Mirabel have a door question." I think they intended everyone to get a new door/room as part of the house's/ family's new foundation.
I had a theory while I watched the movie. After Antonio gets his gift, why is THAT the moment that causes the cracks to happen? It's because that's the moment Abuela stops loving Mirabel. She now knows she was just a fluke, since the giving of gifts haven't run out like she feared.
Ouch I think Casita started breaking because Mirabel felt left out. You know, what she was feeling while singing Waiting on a Miracle. And what you said- Is too painful to be true.
Alma wanted Mariano to marry Isabella because he looked like Pedro, and Isabella looked like her No wonder she saw it as a perfect marriage because she saw herself in Isabella and Pedro in Mariano
Here's a little detail when Alma/Abuela was yelling at Mirabel She said "I didn't know why you weren't given a gift but it is not an excuse for you to hurt THIS family" Alma said "This family" Not "Our family" So that means Abuela didn't see Mirabel as a part of the Madrigals
also when augustin and julietta confront abuela, she says "we must protect our family. we cannot lose our home" when talking about mirabel being a problem. her word choice shows that she basically disowned mirabel and is trying to create this division between the family and mirabel. i think the part where mirabel and abuela are yelling at each other is super telling because a huge crack cuts in between them. (sorry for my rambling lol)
@@vitaminsrgood4u it means everything. The miracle is for the family not the point of the family, yet Abuela ostracized Mirabel because of her lack of a gift.
@@staarfall5317 I think she weakened the walls so he could break through more easily, because there's no way a bucket would allow him to do that and not be injured.
@@staarfall5317 I don't believe Bruno blew a whole through the wall with just his head while wearing a bucket. I mean, that was funny and all, but let's be real: It's way more believable to think the house let him do it since it was already breaking. I also love the perspective of the Casita protecting Bruno throughout his time living inside the walls because it was Pedro's soul all along. The father protecting his son, who was protecting his granddaughter.
Mirabel is the human embodiment of the miracle. She is the candle. She makes sure the family is there to help their community, reminds them of their worth with or without powers. Besides Alma, she’s the only one speaking to casita. She’s the next chosen matriarch of the family
Fun Fact: Maribel never received a special gift because her strength was helping her loved her loved ones, so there was nothing else that the magic needed to enhance. Most of the families' abilities tie into their personality in some form (Luisa is strong because she wants to be of service, Isabela makes plants because she loves botany, and Dolores hears everything because she can be SUPER nosy at times!)
I actually thought differently. Isabella is the eldest and expected to be the perfect child so ends up with the gift of botany. As a bud that never blooms properly. Dolores being the 2nd grandchild feels unheard against the perfect Isabella hence her gift is of hearing. Luisa being the 3rd and by this time the help everyone mentality has been drilled so hard, and not being the favourite, she wants to have an identity so chooses to service. Camilo choosing to "hide" from the pressure by legit camouflaging himself. Antonio being so young and not influenced as much by Abuela is free to cultivate his gift himself. Hence, Abuela saying they will find a use for his gift.
I think her wiping her hands isn't sad. Sad because everyone didn't notice. But when she wiped the power into herself. She unknowingly made herself the new candle. She is the source of the magic now and not the candle. The candle after she absorbed it only served as a visual representation of Mirabel's current emotional state. Antonio gained his powers because he held on to Mirabel's arm not touching the candle. When she said to Luisa that she was taking on too much she subconsciously slowly turned off her gift which forced her to stop working and rest. And of course the magic only returned when she finished the house with the door knob. Now that the candle is gone they will later realize she is the source when it is time for the next child to get their gift.
@@aleynahallie9506 Mirabel was intuitive, compassionate and loved her family. In the movie she shared a room with her young cousin. She gave him a gift which was a toy animal which ended up being his gift. It seemed like she was able to determine the gift. Once Luisa and Isabela spoke to Maribel about their problems, Luisa started to lose her strength power and Isabela started to make other flowers besides perfect roses.
Msmojo: were gonna steer clear of sad theories Also msmojo: Luisa was the first to be taken advantage of because of her gift Edit: wow! I really did not expect to get this many likes AND a heart from msmojo! Thx everyone
When Dolores sang the part where she says she can hear Bruno on the walls, I mean she can LITERALLY hear Bruno since Bruno's hideout entrance is next to Dolores' room
My fan theory is that Mirabel's gift is to be the Encanto's "battery backup." She can only use her gift when the Encanto is destroyed so as to bring it back. Thus, her butterfly outfits parallel the candle's appearance. Additionally, when her door retreats during her gift ceremony, it's the Casita making its backup.
Along the same lines, until Antonio was born 5 years later, Mirabel was the youngest grandchild, and Alma was old enough that she might not see her great-grandchildren, especially them being old enough to get a door. Casita needed someone to hold the magic when Alma passed away, and Mirabel had the heart to be a good candidate, and was likely to be old enough to handle the responsibility when Alma did die some unknown years later.
4:45 i think Julieta could have also been taken advantage of but not as much as Luisa. During the Family Madrigal song it shows everyone depending on her to be healed
I feel like Mirabel is actually the casita in human form, much like Elsa is the fifth element in human form in the ‘Frozen’ franchise. Even though Mirabel doesn’t have a gift, she is looking out for everyone in her family.
That and I think the entire casita is her room. While subtle, her power may have been related to transformation, as we saw that she was able to change things more than once in the movie. She didn't need a room because hers was related to her entire family, which would encompass the whole house
I always thought Pedro was the Casita because of how the they both waved , Pedro using his right hand , and the Casita waving the right side of the window
I find the idea of Mirabel not getting a room because she is supposed to become the matriarch and get Abuela’s room fascinating. My theory is that the entire town is magic now. Before casita’s magic stopped at the entrance. When the power came back a flash went through the entire encanto and the pathway leading up to the casita could now move. It moved the whole town into the casita. So maybe all the streets in the encanto can move now.
I think that once Abuela passed away, Mirabel will go into her room to get some things and when she puts her hand on the door knob, it'll change the door and show Abuela Alma's hand on Mirabels' shoulder and she'll become the new protector of the Encanto Idk I love that theory
Pedro as the Casita makes a lot of sense, he's watching over his family, protecting them as the house falls apart and losing the last of his power to protect Mirabel from the rubble.
After three months of reviewing some fan theories from Disney’s 60th film Encanto, does anybody else agree that this film should WIN an Oscar for best animatedfeature and or best original song?!
Mirabel is the chosen one, the last to hold the candle before went out. From now and on, the gift will be given by the personality, she actually gave the power to Antonio before the candle did. She is the keeper, the holder and the giver. I also think is Pedro reincarnation because we got a lot of out grandparents, at least her heart and character could be related to Abuelo Pedro.
Can I be honest? I hope none of these theories ever get confirmed/denied. Not because they're bad or good, but because I liked how vague and ambiguous the whole movie is. There is no definite Yes or No, no simple solution for everything. Neither in fiction nor in reality. The worst thing Disney could do is make a sequel/prequel to explain where the lore, the miracle and the gifts came from. Everybody watching Encanto will come to different conclusion and learn a different lesson, each more true to your personal questions than a film could ever provide you with. Let Encanto be ambiguous knowing that sometimes you cannot answer every question you have and that is okay
If they make a sequel I hope it's more about them fixing their family disfunction and becoming better people for themselves, their family and community
I don’t need an explanation of the lore. I just want a mini series with the characters interacting more and maybe give dolores and camilo to get their own songs.
My hypothesis is that to "save the miracle" Mirabelle needed to understand the stresses of and embrace each of the family members who were cracking. Alma, Isabella, Luisa, Bruno and herself. While Mirabelle's embrace of Bruno was symbolic (after i save the miracle, I'm bringing you home), she nevertheless extended her love to her Tio Bruno. However the last two embraces also required Abuela Alma. Alma also had to embrace her estranged child and grandchild to heal the cracks in the family's foundation.
Pedro being Casita, and the power of 3 are the ones that hit home for me. Maribel powers being Casita itself, doesn't hold up for me, since Casita was first established when Maribel's mother was just a baby (before Maribel was a thought). Maribel being the next Matriarch makes the most sense for me. Her guiding her family in their time of need and opening the door for them when Casita was resurrection, was kind of symbolic for ushering in a new age. A passing of the torch, if you will. Whatever the creators had in mind, Encanto is a great movie that allows us all the freedom to create our own narratives
I bet this has been said before but I’m pretty sure they all represent a sense Dolores: hearing Camilo: sight Antonio: speech Isabella: smell (flowers) Louisa: touch
When Pedro's sacrifice created the magical candle and the house, it reminded me of Monster House when Nebbercracker's wife's spirit was bringing the house to life after her tragic passing. It would make sense that his spirit is making the house move. And that the family is using their powers to help the community instead using them to fight bad guys.
@@Coco-pk3qq You should. It's a movie that people don't often talk about. It's actually good. Encanto made me think about that movie so that's why I bought it up.
@@Coco-pk3qq Yeah. I don't know if it's too scary or what but it should be talked about. Especially since it was executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
I was definitely thinking about #1 throughout the entire film. Abuela has no magical gifts, so she protects the candle. That's why Mirabel has no gifts. She's next in line for Guardian.
The grandkids family powers also have a theme! Mirabel, Louisa and Isabel- Brain, Brawn and Beauty Dolores, Camillo, Antonio- Hear, See, Speak (SENCES!)
Mirabel actually has the best gift. She has butterflies on her dress and there is a butterfly on the candle. There was also a butterfly in Bruno's second vision and that same butterfly was sitting on a plant at the end of the movie. Mirabel was the miracle.
Honestly I love the idea that Pedro was reincarnated into the Casita. Especially since Mirabel is the one that talks to it the most and compliments and jokes around with it. I think Mirabel is the Casita‘s favorite especially since it was able to interact with her in her room far longer than it was able to with the others. She’s also the one that talks to it as if it has its own thoughts and feelings. She greats and tells it goodbye when the family comes and goes. It tries to protect her when Augustine discovers that she has Bruno‘s vision and when she grabs the candle. This would also mean that Mirabel would have been Pedro’s favorite if he was alive as a human.
I love the theory where abuelo pedro is the casita, it just makes the movie 100x more cuter and just more amazing!! rewatching the movie with that thought in mind just made it completely different in the best way possible!!!
I think Mirabel received her gift right after touching candle. Instead of the magic being transferred to the door the young Mirabel TOUCHED HERSELF by doing so the gift was transferred to her instead of the door.
I thought about the Abuelo being the source of the miracle thing independently, going into further details such as why Mirabel didn't get a gift which ties into the Luisa being exploited (I just think cracks were starting to show in how much the gifts were weighing on them before Luisa), if they were meant to simply be gifts, and expression of love by Abuelo, they were also not meant to hurt them, making Abuelo question the wisdom of giving them gifts in time for Mirabel's ceremony, but seeing how well that worked out for her, changed his mind again for Antonio (the little bean
The theory that Mirabel didnt get a room because the “matriarch room” is still occupied is kind of morbid, like Mirabel signals the end and beginning of an era
I feel Mirabel didn't get her gift because she didn't feel she deserved it or could live up to her gift. In the end the whole family came together to tell her that she is a miracle and worthy of her gift. That's when she is able to heal the house .
Two things 1) Anyone notice that Pepa wears yellow clothing. Julieta wears blue-ish clothing. And Bruno wears green. Yellow mixed with blue = green. Going to prove that the Past (Julieta's ability to heal past injuries) + the Present (Pepa's ability to affect the current weather) = the Future (Bruno's prophecy ability) 2) During Antonio's gifting ceremony, Abuela says "We have a new gift" and everyone cheers. Notice that when everyone cheers, Delores covers her ears because at that point everything is loud because everyone is making a sound at once.
I want to cry this was amazing, the movie was amazing it will forever be one of my most favorites it also kinda shows how a family can be abusive in a way that they don't even know that they are being abusive. it happens to every single family no matter how sweet or happy they are. there's always something
Everyone wears their gift on their clothing (chameleons on Camilo, sound waves on Dolores, weights on Luisa, flowers on Isabella, etc) Maribel and Abuela Alma both wear butterflies further tying them together with the candle and Abuelo Pedro.
I think Mirabel is the heart of the Casita. It's what makes sense to me. When Abuela yells at her, the house falls apart but it doesn't do that until after she was at such a high because she thought she had saved the magic and the family when she hugged Isabella. She did that because it's what Bruno's vision told her she needed to do to save the magic. She saw the candle get brighter and she was so excited and then Abuela comes in and breaks her heart because all she's ever tried to do is make her family proud of her. But she finally realized that there was NOTHING she could do that would make that happen when it came to Abuela. She knew that her and her sisters could try forever and still wouldn't manage it. It's the same reason we saw the cracks in Casita to begin with when everyone was partying but she was feeling completely left out and wanting deeply to be given a gift like the rest of her family but she wasn't like them. That heartache is where the cracks came from and then later the complete feeling of rejection and heartbreak are what causes the Casita to fall!
can you imagine that bruno has to make a super awesome sandstorm of a gift with individuals only to show granular prophecies like,, their pet goldfish died, grow a gut, or lose hair?
There is also a theory that states that Isabela's gift was actually the most helpful for the community because it could protect the environment and ecosystem of the Ecanto.
The "magic" of the Encanto, of the Casita, of the family... is love. True love brought about by Pedro and Alma. That´s why the candle is extinguished and cracks form. Because love is no longer the priority. Mirabel didn´t get a gift because she´s the magic. She´s the new matriarch, meant to keep them all together through her love and compassion. She´s quite literally the heart of the house as shown on the new door, or as Bruno said "the real gift".
Freakin Alma….she’s got that judgy matriarch look all the time. She looks at you and she’s judging you. If I were Mirabel , I would not stick around to take the shade from family who actually got gifts. I’d be like “bye”
I always thought that Mirabel didn’t get her gift since she wiped her hand on the dress but if she tried again and did not wipe her hand on dress I think she would get a gift
Personal theory : in the beginning because Mirabel wiped her hand after touching the candle, she got the magic inside her and if you look closer in her clothes you can actually see that it has everyone’s powers as symbol and she wear’s that dress that has symbol of a jaguar and the bird even before antino got his gift so this means that she knew that antino will be able to talk to animals and that’s the reason why she gave him a stuffed jaguar toy on his gift ceremony!
It also might not be something she can heal. Like, Mirabel had glasses from a young age, so we can assume it wasn't from injury or anything. There is nothing to "regain", as it was not there in the first place. They were simply born with below average eyesight. It's like, you can't make someone stronger if they weren't strong before if your powers are healing. There is no injury, nothing to heal.
As someone who wears glasses due to myopia: its neither an illness nor a disability, as it can be corrected by a simple surgery or you can live with glasses with no debilitating factors in your life. Julieta might've not cured it because Agustín and Mirabel probably just have myopia, which isn't that great a deal
My current favorite theory, which unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the person who first posited it, is that Abuela had the gift of barrier. She created the mountains to separate the village from danger. She created the casita to protect her family from the environment. She created the doors to give privacy. But she also created boundaries in everyone's life. They could only see themselves as the physical embodiment of their powers, such as Luisa being "the strong one". Mirabel's gift was the removal of barriers, which is why her door disappears when she touches it. She literally removed the symbol of isolation a private room creates. She gets everyone to open up with a single question, no matter how long they had been holding it all back. So when the house returns at Mirabel's touch, it is a house with no barriers. Everyone is free to be themselves. It was time for the chrysalis to open and free the butterflies, so the house gave them Mirabel to create the cracks.
I think theories 1 & 2 are true. That Pedro's spirit went into the candle and the Casita, and that Maribel is destined to be the next Matriarch/guardian of the miracle. Both those theories make so much sense!
Regarding the theory that the Casita is Mirabel's room, I would like to point out that Casita pretty much chose for Mirabel to save the candle. Isabella and Camilo looked like they were so close to reaching the candle but Casita still chose not to give them that extra boost to be able to reach the candle.
First trio = 2 girls and 1 boy [Alma's & pedro's kids] Second trio = 2 boys and 1 girl [Pepa's & felix's kids] Third trio = 3 girls [Isabella,luisa, maribel] Forth trio [theory: maybe dolores's & mariano's babies] = trio of all boys.
Theory that Dilores and Mariano actually have 5 children, but in keeping up with the trifecta they have 2 sets of twins, and a single child who gains the power to duplicate themselves
Also, the last name chosen for the family was Madrigal which is a “part-song for several voices, especially one of the Renaissance period”. Which is interesting because you can think of the family as an orchestra. Each family member has a gift or as in an orchestra, a musical talent in a specific instrument. However, an orchestra cannot play perfectly without a CONDUCTOR which doesn’t necessarily play an instrument or in other words have a ‘gift’ because their job is not to play but to conduct/lead. Abuela is the conductor and Mirabel is the upcoming conductor which explains why neither have a gift.
It would be nice if the source of this magic was a prehispanic civilization in colombia. There are article that claim paramilitars in colombia ( Fans of Uribe) act still as colonizers in their own country, displacing and killing tribes.
I have a theory that the magic comes from the Mesoamerican gods. Like if you look at what each of the Madrigals can do it lines up with an ability of a god from that pantheon.
@@Actionfan19 I think i could mix all in a single theory. Both abuela and abuelo have mesoamerican roots even mayan or chibcha (i hear some stuff of encanto are based also from colombia). They were trying to escape some paramilitarist group after their marriage, but abuelo sacrifice. Luckily abuela was close enough to an old temple/shrine of ancient times, and thats how the magic appears. (The temple could be buried deep below the town or la casita)
I agree if you recall when Mirabel enters to Bruno's room there are images of ancient gods made of stone in the walls of the room (where not even casita has power) also this gods and godesses images are surrounded nu emeralds which are part of Muisca's mythology (an ancient tribe from Colombia) not to emntion The prophecies were green as emeralds and Bruno's eyes turned into green after he had to do some sort of magic ritual for receive them.
@@Actionfan19 Not mesoamerican. Colombia had its own pantheon, specially the muisca's pantheon is conected with the emerald( hence why the prophecy is green as well as Bruno's eyes) and it's the origin of the "El Dorado" myth
@@youredelicious9945 This is what I get for not doing proper research. I got no clue which portion of south/central America worships what Devine beings.
I like the idea that Casita is Pedro but I also like the idea that Casita acts like an assistive technology to Mirabelsince she’s one of only people that directly speaks to la Casita. I also like the idea that you could kind of interpret Mirabel as being Neuro divergent and the family having their own psychological things they work through
My theory is that Mirabel is the next Abuela. She has to take the candle and help the future of the family she takes the place of abuela when she passes. I find that foreshadowing when she guides Felix and Pepas son to get his gift, like Abuela did to maribel. Deciding what’s right and what’s wrong, since she’s smart and has a true heart.
The theories I hope are proven right are: Casita is Mirabel’s room (since I knew that was mostly likely true since the beginning since she has a close bond with casita), Pedro is Casita (I came to that realization after I watched Encanto for the first time and after hearing some theories about it), and that Mirabel didn’t get a gift because she’s destined to become the next leader of the Madrigals after Abeula passes as well as being the keeper of the miracle (since I think most of us knew that to be the reason for her not getting a gift after watching Encanto for the first time).
I think that Pedro sacrificed himself for his family’s life and happiness the same way Bruno hid himself for the same reason knowing that if he told his vision, the family would be terrified and unhappy.
I wish that Julieta or pepa has a child or twins who can go back in time to help mirabel get her gift back after they figure out what she did wrong I NEED a sequel for enchanto
To be honest I thought that Mirabel's gift was hidden and that her secret gift was to be able to heal like: When she fixed her relationship with Abuela When she helped Bruno When she helped Luisa When she helped Isabella When she put the doorknob on the house the magic returned(would that have worked if someone else have put it back on) Or maybe she's just a super smart girl who loves her family. She's the greatest anyway.
I think the reason Casita responds to Abuela and Mirabel only is because they are the only once seen talking to Abuelo Pedro (Mirabel greeting him and Abuela asking him for help)
Their powers reflects their emotions is another thing from Charmed. "Leo: Your power comes from your emotion". In a fan theories of if Bruno had kids, his son would b a necromancer, able to see, hear ghost that r present, as well as make them visible for other and summon them from beyond the grave of the afterlife for a visit. To make the power of 3, it would b of wealth in my fan theory; spiritual wealth of healing broken hearts to speak with lost loved ones, another would like Isabela...create (manifest from nothing) manipulate-control and negate (make them vanish) all kinds of gemstones since Bruno conjure emerald tablets, as monetary. And the third would see the past and present for knowledge wealth. I think Bruno would have only boys since Julieta has only girls and Pepa r a gender swamp of Alma's.
Mirabel’s ‘Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood’ (knocking on her family’s doors) at the beginning of the film signaled her connection to Bruno :P. Plus, if she’s usually the first one up to go set the table, she’s probably the first person Bruno saw every morning from behind the family tree picture.
It makes complete sense. I actually thought that they would have made it clear, in the movie, that the magic was Pedro. It makes sense that when Pedro gave his life, his spirit was still wanting to protect his family so his spirit created everything in the Encanto. Also, Mirabel didn't need a gift, she WAS the gift. When she touched the door knob, the magic transfered INTO her instead of giving her a room. The others were so busy serving that they didn't see each other or how the surface pressure was cracking them all, but Mirabel could focus on THE FAMILY because she wasn't so busy being used for her gift.

mirabels gift is hugs, she hugs everyone an they all get better
I want the theory that the spirit of Casita is actually Pedro's spirit to be true. 🤞🏾
@@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115 same
Regarding Mirabel’s gift: I personally think that the magic absorbed into Mirabel’s dress when she wiped the candle residue on it and therefore the magic was in her the whole entire time.
For her gift to be (non-injury) repair, symbolized by her being introduced with a sewing machine in the present, her outfit embroidered all along one line as though it had a lengthwise rip, stain or burn to fix, her first song being about her whole family, the prophecy trying to show her repairing the house, and her getting the whole town rebuilding the house without magic. As though the magic family suddenly needed equality with the non-magic neighbors, and this prevented the community from resenting their dependence on the magic family with the "man-down strategy."
also, Isabela, the Elsa of this family is queer. Maybe Bruno is also queer, and will maybe marry someone who has been widowed and adopt the coffee chorus children. That would explain why the creators specified that adopted children can have gifts.
To me Mirabel’s gift seems fairly obvious: her symbol is a butterfly. It means her gift is her ability to transform things so they can be a beautiful evolution of what they were. Everyone with powers learns a better and more free way to use them after her influence. Isabella starts going beyond perfect, Luisa frees herself from the pressure, Bruno sees his power in a different light, Abuela stops being so overbearing, the house is rebuilt and even the townspeople become a closer community. If everyone at the beginning of the film were a caterpillar, Mirabel would be the cocoon that turns them into a butterfly. Her power is transformation, which is why she doesn’t have a room, because there’s no point in her having one.
This... a 1000x this
Oh, this, this is perfect
Now that you have said that i feel like the perfect power/gift for her would be able to transform things or anyone into anything basically just like sersi
The entire Casita is her room
This is a very deep perspective, and it makes totally sense.
My personal theory: The candle had to go. It was part of what kept Alma focused on the magic, not who the magic was for. That's why when Mirabel reawoke it, it was without a candle.
But with a dOoRkNoB
It's Trolls 2 all over again.
mirabel is the candle
Maribel is the gift so I think she’s the new candle. Then the next gift would be Maribels grandchild
@@jamiebeckum1989 idk, why is it mirabel? why is she the one with that gift?
I honestly think that Casita is Mirabel's gift. Like how Moana can communicate with the sea.
Same here and that her grandpa’s soul is apart of the casita as well.
And Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote songs for both Moana and Encanto. Technically, not an important fact, but still a fun one.
That was my thought too!
@@patriciomejia1114 The song writer from Coco also helped with the songs too.
That is true ... also throughout the movie, I saw Mirabel and Casita communicate with each other but I never saw anyone else talk to Casita!
My theory: Mirabel is the only one that can communicate with Casita OR she's the only one that treats Casita like more than a house, because she has no gift and spends a lot of time alone so Casita was her only friend growing up
The whole thing with Abuelito Pedro being Casita would make way too much sense!! The fact the his spirit lives in the house, he protects and watches over his family… he’s basically the family’s guardian Angel… too much of a coincidence. ❤️❤️❤️
Right?!!
@@MsMojo yup!! ❤️❤️
I am in complete agreement with you about the casita being Pedro.
@@Showtunediva thank you ❤️❤️
Plus, it gives some solace to Bruno spending nearly a decade in the walls. He wasn't totally alone, his papa was there with him.
Since everyone’s room is to help flourish and nurture their gifts, it makes sense that the casita is Maribel’s “room” since her gift is loving and nurturing her family. To have that gift grow and flourish, she needs access to the whole house where everyone is!
After Casita is reanimated if you look at the doors on the second floor none of them have people's names or pictures on them any more, they're just sparkly like before they are assigned. When the producer was tweeting about it he hinted you should look at the end to see the answer for the "Why doesn't Mirabel have a door question." I think they intended everyone to get a new door/room as part of the house's/ family's new foundation.
I had a theory while I watched the movie. After Antonio gets his gift, why is THAT the moment that causes the cracks to happen? It's because that's the moment Abuela stops loving Mirabel. She now knows she was just a fluke, since the giving of gifts haven't run out like she feared.
Ouch, that hit me in the heart
oh............... that hurt
wow.
💔
Ouch
I think Casita started breaking because Mirabel felt left out. You know, what she was feeling while singing Waiting on a Miracle.
And what you said-
Is too painful to be true.
Alma wanted Mariano to marry Isabella because he looked like Pedro, and Isabella looked like her
No wonder she saw it as a perfect marriage because she saw herself in Isabella and Pedro in Mariano
Did not see that one! Great call!! Makes so much sense now!
I just realised that :o
Wow I see it now
and Pedro was a writer
What a narcissistic grandma 👵
Here's a little detail when Alma/Abuela was yelling at Mirabel
She said "I didn't know why you weren't given a gift but it is not an excuse for you to hurt THIS family"
Alma said "This family" Not "Our family" So that means Abuela didn't see Mirabel as a part of the Madrigals
This is the reasoni hate abuela
also when augustin and julietta confront abuela, she says "we must protect our family. we cannot lose our home" when talking about mirabel being a problem. her word choice shows that she basically disowned mirabel and is trying to create this division between the family and mirabel. i think the part where mirabel and abuela are yelling at each other is super telling because a huge crack cuts in between them. (sorry for my rambling lol)
@@pieceofbogus110 yes fuck abuela
This doesn’t really mean anything though.😕
@@vitaminsrgood4u it means everything. The miracle is for the family not the point of the family, yet Abuela ostracized Mirabel because of her lack of a gift.
AND Casita knew Bruno was sneaking in and out but never blew his cover.
but casita didn't help bruno get out when it was crumbling...?
@@staarfall5317 I don't think Casita had the ability to. She couldn't help Mira in Bruno's room, or inside the walls.
@@staarfall5317 In between the walls is like our bodies. Casita could not see within herself. Not even in the magical rooms.
@@staarfall5317 I think she weakened the walls so he could break through more easily, because there's no way a bucket would allow him to do that and not be injured.
@@staarfall5317 I don't believe Bruno blew a whole through the wall with just his head while wearing a bucket. I mean, that was funny and all, but let's be real: It's way more believable to think the house let him do it since it was already breaking. I also love the perspective of the Casita protecting Bruno throughout his time living inside the walls because it was Pedro's soul all along. The father protecting his son, who was protecting his granddaughter.
Mirabel is the human embodiment of the miracle. She is the candle. She makes sure the family is there to help their community, reminds them of their worth with or without powers. Besides Alma, she’s the only one speaking to casita. She’s the next chosen matriarch of the family
Fun Fact: Maribel never received a special gift because her strength was helping her loved her loved ones, so there was nothing else that the magic needed to enhance. Most of the families' abilities tie into their personality in some form (Luisa is strong because she wants to be of service, Isabela makes plants because she loves botany, and Dolores hears everything because she can be SUPER nosy at times!)
I thought it was cos she wiped her hands before she touched her door. I mean she was the only one who did it and didn't get a gift
@@Le_Ghey_Boi the creators confirmed it was just cause she gets sweaty af hands
I actually thought differently.
Isabella is the eldest and expected to be the perfect child so ends up with the gift of botany. As a bud that never blooms properly.
Dolores being the 2nd grandchild feels unheard against the perfect Isabella hence her gift is of hearing.
Luisa being the 3rd and by this time the help everyone mentality has been drilled so hard, and not being the favourite, she wants to have an identity so chooses to service.
Camilo choosing to "hide" from the pressure by legit camouflaging himself.
Antonio being so young and not influenced as much by Abuela is free to cultivate his gift himself. Hence, Abuela saying they will find a use for his gift.
@@Le_Ghey_Boi I was thinking the same! I would also think that Mirabel was going to take over Abuela's role, she passes.
I think her wiping her hands isn't sad. Sad because everyone didn't notice. But when she wiped the power into herself. She unknowingly made herself the new candle. She is the source of the magic now and not the candle. The candle after she absorbed it only served as a visual representation of Mirabel's current emotional state. Antonio gained his powers because he held on to Mirabel's arm not touching the candle. When she said to Luisa that she was taking on too much she subconsciously slowly turned off her gift which forced her to stop working and rest. And of course the magic only returned when she finished the house with the door knob. Now that the candle is gone they will later realize she is the source when it is time for the next child to get their gift.
that is good but I think Mirabel's gift is that her feelings control casita. Think about it when she was sad the house started to crack.
The candle created and controlled before mirabel the house before so the two theories are related.
Thats a good theory
trueeeeee
Mirabel didn’t have a physical gift but she did have a gift. She actually had multiple gifts.
Well now im confused
.
@@aleynahallie9506 me too but i love it
@@pieceofbogus110 yep
@@aleynahallie9506 Mirabel was intuitive, compassionate and loved her family. In the movie she shared a room with her young cousin. She gave him a gift which was a toy animal which ended up being his gift. It seemed like she was able to determine the gift. Once Luisa and Isabela spoke to Maribel about their problems, Luisa started to lose her strength power and Isabela started to make other flowers besides perfect roses.
Msmojo: were gonna steer clear of sad theories
Also msmojo: Luisa was the first to be taken advantage of because of her gift
Edit: wow! I really did not expect to get this many likes AND a heart from msmojo! Thx everyone
LMFAO
I was thinking the same thing!!!
The hearts go away if you edit your comment 😭
@@crysvdz yeah, I realised that a fee days ago. Thx anyway tho : )
I dont get it lol
When Dolores sang the part where she says she can hear Bruno on the walls, I mean she can LITERALLY hear Bruno since Bruno's hideout entrance is next to Dolores' room
i’m pretty sure everyone knew that
hahahha evryone knew that
That explains why Bruno mentioned something about free food, Dolores loves to cook.
@@velascotalavera1262 dlores loves cook?
I’m pretty surprised though that she didn’t tell her family that Bruno is still there
My fan theory is that Mirabel's gift is to be the Encanto's "battery backup." She can only use her gift when the Encanto is destroyed so as to bring it back. Thus, her butterfly outfits parallel the candle's appearance. Additionally, when her door retreats during her gift ceremony, it's the Casita making its backup.
I really want that to be true now that I've heard the name. Shes like the harddrive of the house.
Along the same lines, until Antonio was born 5 years later, Mirabel was the youngest grandchild, and Alma was old enough that she might not see her great-grandchildren, especially them being old enough to get a door. Casita needed someone to hold the magic when Alma passed away, and Mirabel had the heart to be a good candidate, and was likely to be old enough to handle the responsibility when Alma did die some unknown years later.
4:45 i think Julieta could have also been taken advantage of but not as much as Luisa. During the Family Madrigal song it shows everyone depending on her to be healed
Imagine having your period and not feeling up to cooking that day but then your hubby faceplants into a beehive again.
I feel like Mirabel is actually the casita in human form, much like Elsa is the fifth element in human form in the ‘Frozen’ franchise. Even though Mirabel doesn’t have a gift, she is looking out for everyone in her family.
Here’s a thought. Maybe when Mirabel’s door disappeared, the house was actually giving her some of its power to be accessed later.
yes that what I have been saying. well my mom told me, but I think she right.
Yes, and that's why she could understand the Casita so weel.
i think that mirabel is the like new abuela, who doesn't necessarily have a gift but instead is the protector of the family and the house
I think the front door is Mirabel ‘s door, especially since she’s front and center in the new door’s image of the family.
as soon as that appeared in the movie we all knew that
It's also the "sharpest" image in the door. The others are kinda merged and blurry.
Also, the doorknob has the letter M on it, which further symbolises the fact that Casita is Mirabel's room.
I think the reason Mirabel didn’t get a gift is because she is the next Abuela and will be the caretaker of the magic
i agree
I agree I agree I agree
That and I think the entire casita is her room. While subtle, her power may have been related to transformation, as we saw that she was able to change things more than once in the movie. She didn't need a room because hers was related to her entire family, which would encompass the whole house
Abuela means grandmother
Think you mean that Maribel will be the next matriarch
That needs obviously a second Movie of Encanto
I always thought Pedro was the Casita because of how the they both waved , Pedro using his right hand , and the Casita waving the right side of the window
THAT MAKES SENSE
Nice catch!
He's not the Casita because if he was the Casita would be named casito
Well no one knew if the house was a he or she.
😭
I always perceived Pedro’s spirit to be Casita since his act of genuine love saved Abuela and his children.
I find the idea of Mirabel not getting a room because she is supposed to become the matriarch and get Abuela’s room fascinating. My theory is that the entire town is magic now. Before casita’s magic stopped at the entrance. When the power came back a flash went through the entire encanto and the pathway leading up to the casita could now move. It moved the whole town into the casita. So maybe all the streets in the encanto can move now.
I think that once Abuela passed away, Mirabel will go into her room to get some things and when she puts her hand on the door knob, it'll change the door and show Abuela Alma's hand on Mirabels' shoulder and she'll become the new protector of the Encanto
Idk I love that theory
Encanto literally means "enchanted," so...
Yeah, the entire _mountain range_ is magic.
Pedro as the Casita makes a lot of sense, he's watching over his family, protecting them as the house falls apart and losing the last of his power to protect Mirabel from the rubble.
After three months of reviewing some fan theories from Disney’s 60th film Encanto, does anybody else agree that this film should WIN an Oscar for best animatedfeature and or best original song?!
@@MsLunaWinter hilarious
@@MsLunaWinter lol thats funny
Definitely
Well it should win
Mirabel is the chosen one, the last to hold the candle before went out. From now and on, the gift will be given by the personality, she actually gave the power to Antonio before the candle did. She is the keeper, the holder and the giver. I also think is Pedro reincarnation because we got a lot of out grandparents, at least her heart and character could be related to Abuelo Pedro.
If Encanto does get a series, the creators should considered these fan theories!
I can't help but imagine it as a sitcom like Modern Family.
Can I be honest? I hope none of these theories ever get confirmed/denied.
Not because they're bad or good, but because I liked how vague and ambiguous the whole movie is. There is no definite Yes or No, no simple solution for everything. Neither in fiction nor in reality. The worst thing Disney could do is make a sequel/prequel to explain where the lore, the miracle and the gifts came from.
Everybody watching Encanto will come to different conclusion and learn a different lesson, each more true to your personal questions than a film could ever provide you with. Let Encanto be ambiguous knowing that sometimes you cannot answer every question you have and that is okay
If they make a sequel I hope it's more about them fixing their family disfunction and becoming better people for themselves, their family and community
FRFRFRFRFRFRFR
As much as i am curious about so many things, i really dont want a sequel. The ambiguity of the movie is what makes it special
I don’t need an explanation of the lore. I just want a mini series with the characters interacting more and maybe give dolores and camilo to get their own songs.
Strongly disagree. I hope they solve some mysteries for us!
My hypothesis is that to "save the miracle" Mirabelle needed to understand the stresses of and embrace each of the family members who were cracking. Alma, Isabella, Luisa, Bruno and herself. While Mirabelle's embrace of Bruno was symbolic (after i save the miracle, I'm bringing you home), she nevertheless extended her love to her Tio Bruno. However the last two embraces also required Abuela Alma. Alma also had to embrace her estranged child and grandchild to heal the cracks in the family's foundation.
Pedro being Casita, and the power of 3 are the ones that hit home for me. Maribel powers being Casita itself, doesn't hold up for me, since Casita was first established when Maribel's mother was just a baby (before Maribel was a thought). Maribel being the next Matriarch makes the most sense for me. Her guiding her family in their time of need and opening the door for them when Casita was resurrection, was kind of symbolic for ushering in a new age. A passing of the torch, if you will.
Whatever the creators had in mind, Encanto is a great movie that allows us all the freedom to create our own narratives
I bet this has been said before but I’m pretty sure they all represent a sense
Dolores: hearing
Camilo: sight
Antonio: speech
Isabella: smell (flowers)
Louisa: touch
Oh and then Mirabel could be "proprioception"
I like it.
@@kynedyr procrastination lol
The power of three and Pedro being the casita are very tempting and I think the powers reacting to their bearer's well-being is obvious.
When Pedro's sacrifice created the magical candle and the house, it reminded me of Monster House when Nebbercracker's wife's spirit was bringing the house to life after her tragic passing. It would make sense that his spirit is making the house move. And that the family is using their powers to help the community instead using them to fight bad guys.
Oh my gosh, I havebt thought about monster house in years! I HAVE to rewatch it now!
@@Coco-pk3qq You should. It's a movie that people don't often talk about. It's actually good. Encanto made me think about that movie so that's why I bought it up.
@@ryanperez1999 yes it's really good, a hidden gem!
@@Coco-pk3qq Yeah. I don't know if it's too scary or what but it should be talked about. Especially since it was executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
That's what I have been telling my brother while watching Encanto. La Casita must face-off with the Monster House in some weird spinoff. 😂
It seems also that Mirabel is the only one who can enter others' rooms uninvited, further proving every room is a little bit a part of her.
I’m really hoping that Pedro being the house was true! I’ve had that theory after watching Encanto
At least he is not the monster house that hated children and trapped them
The most heartbreaking line: "Whatever gift awaits you will be as special as you"
- Alma talking to MIRABEL
And no gift awaited her, meaning that Mirabel became not-special D:
I think Mirabel will someday inherit the Casita and the Encanto and create a new generation of members of the Family Madrigal.
Maribel is the normal child that keeps the family together so maybe she is the heart and soul of the family
I think Mirabel didn’t get a gift because her gift is the whole castia. Just like Abuela
I was definitely thinking about #1 throughout the entire film. Abuela has no magical gifts, so she protects the candle. That's why Mirabel has no gifts. She's next in line for Guardian.
The grandkids family powers also have a theme!
Mirabel, Louisa and Isabel- Brain, Brawn and Beauty
Dolores, Camillo, Antonio- Hear, See, Speak (SENCES!)
Mirabel actually has the best gift. She has butterflies on her dress and there is a butterfly on the candle. There was also a butterfly in Bruno's second vision and that same butterfly was sitting on a plant at the end of the movie. Mirabel was the miracle.
pedro migrated and died trying to get his family a better living situation, a better home. he is the house.
Honestly I love the idea that Pedro was reincarnated into the Casita. Especially since Mirabel is the one that talks to it the most and compliments and jokes around with it. I think Mirabel is the Casita‘s favorite especially since it was able to interact with her in her room far longer than it was able to with the others. She’s also the one that talks to it as if it has its own thoughts and feelings. She greats and tells it goodbye when the family comes and goes. It tries to protect her when Augustine discovers that she has Bruno‘s vision and when she grabs the candle. This would also mean that Mirabel would have been Pedro’s favorite if he was alive as a human.
Past, Present, future
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Brains, brawn, beauty
That makes so much sense to me! How did I not notice that?
Maybe Mirabel’s gift was somehow singing. She appears in everyone’s musical numbers.
Wow. Bruno feels guilty about that fish dying.
This movie needs a tv series!
I love the theory where abuelo pedro is the casita, it just makes the movie 100x more cuter and just more amazing!! rewatching the movie with that thought in mind just made it completely different in the best way possible!!!
I think Mirabel received her gift right after touching candle. Instead of the magic being transferred to the door the young Mirabel TOUCHED HERSELF by doing so the gift was transferred to her instead of the door.
I thought about the Abuelo being the source of the miracle thing independently, going into further details such as why Mirabel didn't get a gift which ties into the Luisa being exploited (I just think cracks were starting to show in how much the gifts were weighing on them before Luisa), if they were meant to simply be gifts, and expression of love by Abuelo, they were also not meant to hurt them, making Abuelo question the wisdom of giving them gifts in time for Mirabel's ceremony, but seeing how well that worked out for her, changed his mind again for Antonio (the little bean
The theory that Mirabel didnt get a room because the “matriarch room” is still occupied is kind of morbid, like Mirabel signals the end and beginning of an era
Death is part of life. Abuela will die one day. Someone will need to fill her role.
I feel Mirabel didn't get her gift because she didn't feel she deserved it or could live up to her gift. In the end the whole family came together to tell her that she is a miracle and worthy of her gift. That's when she is able to heal the house .
Mirabel DOES have a gift. She is to take over for Abuela, and be caretaker of the casita and candle.
what candle? there’s no candle anymore because mirabel IS the candle
Two things
1) Anyone notice that Pepa wears yellow clothing. Julieta wears blue-ish clothing. And Bruno wears green. Yellow mixed with blue = green. Going to prove that the Past (Julieta's ability to heal past injuries) + the Present (Pepa's ability to affect the current weather) = the Future (Bruno's prophecy ability)
2) During Antonio's gifting ceremony, Abuela says "We have a new gift" and everyone cheers. Notice that when everyone cheers, Delores covers her ears because at that point everything is loud because everyone is making a sound at once.
I want to cry this was amazing, the movie was amazing it will forever be one of my most favorites
it also kinda shows how a family can be abusive in a way that they don't even know that they are being abusive. it happens to every single family no matter how sweet or happy they are.
there's always something
Everyone wears their gift on their clothing (chameleons on Camilo, sound waves on Dolores, weights on Luisa, flowers on Isabella, etc) Maribel and Abuela Alma both wear butterflies further tying them together with the candle and Abuelo Pedro.
I think Mirabel is the heart of the Casita. It's what makes sense to me. When Abuela yells at her, the house falls apart but it doesn't do that until after she was at such a high because she thought she had saved the magic and the family when she hugged Isabella. She did that because it's what Bruno's vision told her she needed to do to save the magic. She saw the candle get brighter and she was so excited and then Abuela comes in and breaks her heart because all she's ever tried to do is make her family proud of her. But she finally realized that there was NOTHING she could do that would make that happen when it came to Abuela. She knew that her and her sisters could try forever and still wouldn't manage it.
It's the same reason we saw the cracks in Casita to begin with when everyone was partying but she was feeling completely left out and wanting deeply to be given a gift like the rest of her family but she wasn't like them. That heartache is where the cracks came from and then later the complete feeling of rejection and heartbreak are what causes the Casita to fall!
can you imagine that bruno has to make a super awesome sandstorm of a gift with individuals only to show granular prophecies like,, their pet goldfish died, grow a gut, or lose hair?
There is also a theory that states that Isabela's gift was actually the most helpful for the community because it could protect the environment and ecosystem of the Ecanto.
She could also quickly grow and mature crops, meaning no famine.
The "magic" of the Encanto, of the Casita, of the family... is love. True love brought about by Pedro and Alma.
That´s why the candle is extinguished and cracks form. Because love is no longer the priority.
Mirabel didn´t get a gift because she´s the magic.
She´s the new matriarch, meant to keep them all together through her love and compassion.
She´s quite literally the heart of the house as shown on the new door, or as Bruno said "the real gift".
LITERALLY WHAT U WAS THINKING THAT SHE WIPED HER HAND I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Same here!
Freakin Alma….she’s got that judgy matriarch look all the time. She looks at you and she’s judging you. If I were Mirabel , I would not stick around to take the shade from family who actually got gifts. I’d be like “bye”
I always thought that Mirabel didn’t get her gift since she wiped her hand on the dress but if she tried again and did not wipe her hand on dress I think she would get a gift
Personal theory : in the beginning because Mirabel wiped her hand after touching the candle, she got the magic inside her and if you look closer in her clothes you can actually see that it has everyone’s powers as symbol and she wear’s that dress that has symbol of a jaguar and the bird even before antino got his gift so this means that she knew that antino will be able to talk to animals and that’s the reason why she gave him a stuffed jaguar toy on his gift ceremony!
Julieta can heal a broken hand, but not regain Mirabel’s and Agustin’s eyesight. She has something against them…….
I don't think Julieta sees it as a broken thing to be healed
@@maiadraghici2403 yea she even says to mirabel that she has cool glasses.
It also might not be something she can heal. Like, Mirabel had glasses from a young age, so we can assume it wasn't from injury or anything. There is nothing to "regain", as it was not there in the first place. They were simply born with below average eyesight. It's like, you can't make someone stronger if they weren't strong before if your powers are healing. There is no injury, nothing to heal.
Technically impaired eyesight isn’t an injury. It’s a disability. And I don’t think Juliet’s can heal those
As someone who wears glasses due to myopia: its neither an illness nor a disability, as it can be corrected by a simple surgery or you can live with glasses with no debilitating factors in your life. Julieta might've not cured it because Agustín and Mirabel probably just have myopia, which isn't that great a deal
My current favorite theory, which unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the person who first posited it, is that Abuela had the gift of barrier. She created the mountains to separate the village from danger. She created the casita to protect her family from the environment. She created the doors to give privacy. But she also created boundaries in everyone's life. They could only see themselves as the physical embodiment of their powers, such as Luisa being "the strong one". Mirabel's gift was the removal of barriers, which is why her door disappears when she touches it. She literally removed the symbol of isolation a private room creates. She gets everyone to open up with a single question, no matter how long they had been holding it all back. So when the house returns at Mirabel's touch, it is a house with no barriers. Everyone is free to be themselves. It was time for the chrysalis to open and free the butterflies, so the house gave them Mirabel to create the cracks.
Please do Top 10 Encanto Moments
I think theories 1 & 2 are true. That Pedro's spirit went into the candle and the Casita, and that Maribel is destined to be the next Matriarch/guardian of the miracle. Both those theories make so much sense!
Regarding the theory that the Casita is Mirabel's room, I would like to point out that Casita pretty much chose for Mirabel to save the candle. Isabella and Camilo looked like they were so close to reaching the candle but Casita still chose not to give them that extra boost to be able to reach the candle.
Louisa's pressure was heartbreaking
She's nineteen
A CHILD
First trio = 2 girls and 1 boy
[Alma's & pedro's kids]
Second trio = 2 boys and 1 girl
[Pepa's & felix's kids]
Third trio = 3 girls
[Isabella,luisa, maribel]
Forth trio [theory: maybe dolores's & mariano's babies] = trio of all boys.
Theory that Dilores and Mariano actually have 5 children, but in keeping up with the trifecta they have 2 sets of twins, and a single child who gains the power to duplicate themselves
Also, the last name chosen for the family was Madrigal which is a “part-song for several voices, especially one of the Renaissance period”. Which is interesting because you can think of the family as an orchestra. Each family member has a gift or as in an orchestra, a musical talent in a specific instrument. However, an orchestra cannot play perfectly without a CONDUCTOR which doesn’t necessarily play an instrument or in other words have a ‘gift’ because their job is not to play but to conduct/lead. Abuela is the conductor and Mirabel is the upcoming conductor which explains why neither have a gift.
It would be nice if the source of this magic was a prehispanic civilization in colombia.
There are article that claim paramilitars in colombia ( Fans of Uribe) act still as colonizers in their own country, displacing and killing tribes.
I have a theory that the magic comes from the Mesoamerican gods. Like if you look at what each of the Madrigals can do it lines up with an ability of a god from that pantheon.
@@Actionfan19 I think i could mix all in a single theory.
Both abuela and abuelo have mesoamerican roots even mayan or chibcha (i hear some stuff of encanto are based also from colombia).
They were trying to escape some paramilitarist group after their marriage, but abuelo sacrifice.
Luckily abuela was close enough to an old temple/shrine of ancient times, and thats how the magic appears.
(The temple could be buried deep below the town or la casita)
I agree if you recall when Mirabel enters to Bruno's room there are images of ancient gods made of stone in the walls of the room (where not even casita has power) also this gods and godesses images are surrounded nu emeralds which are part of Muisca's mythology (an ancient tribe from Colombia) not to emntion The prophecies were green as emeralds and Bruno's eyes turned into green after he had to do some sort of magic ritual for receive them.
@@Actionfan19 Not mesoamerican. Colombia had its own pantheon, specially the muisca's pantheon is conected with the emerald( hence why the prophecy is green as well as Bruno's eyes) and it's the origin of the "El Dorado" myth
@@youredelicious9945 This is what I get for not doing proper research. I got no clue which portion of south/central America worships what Devine beings.
I like the idea that Casita is Pedro but I also like the idea that Casita acts like an assistive technology to Mirabelsince she’s one of only people that directly speaks to la Casita. I also like the idea that you could kind of interpret Mirabel as being Neuro divergent and the family having their own psychological things they work through
I’d love for Merabel to get a room of her own in the new casita.
She deserves it.
My theory is that Mirabel is the next Abuela. She has to take the candle and help the future of the family she takes the place of abuela when she passes. I find that foreshadowing when she guides Felix and Pepas son to get his gift, like Abuela did to maribel. Deciding what’s right and what’s wrong, since she’s smart and has a true heart.
The theories I hope are proven right are: Casita is Mirabel’s room (since I knew that was mostly likely true since the beginning since she has a close bond with casita), Pedro is Casita (I came to that realization after I watched Encanto for the first time and after hearing some theories about it), and that Mirabel didn’t get a gift because she’s destined to become the next leader of the Madrigals after Abeula passes as well as being the keeper of the miracle (since I think most of us knew that to be the reason for her not getting a gift after watching Encanto for the first time).
04:14 such a spirit animal
“oh hes creepy and his vision killed my goldfish”
HANDS DOWN BEST LINE OF THE MOVIE
This is beautiful. I love how to dissect each sections. My thoughts concerning Pedro has just been answered.
29: At least it’s nothing like Monster House
I think that Pedro sacrificed himself for his family’s life and happiness the same way Bruno hid himself for the same reason knowing that if he told his vision, the family would be terrified and unhappy.
30: I’m starting to see why Mirabel didn’t get a gift
13:19 thanks for reminding me to turn on notifications for a different app that I usually leave off but need them sometimes. 😂😂
I wish that Julieta or pepa has a child or twins who can go back in time to help mirabel get her gift back after they figure out what she did wrong I NEED a sequel for enchanto
I thought for a bit that Mirabel's gift was empathy and didn't realize until the end that she was meant to be Abuela's replacement.
If Julieta can heal anything, why Mirabela is still wearing glasses?
She cannot heal things that naturally occur. Mirabel’s dad also has glasses so the vision problem is genetic.
To be honest I thought that Mirabel's gift was hidden and that her secret gift was to be able to heal like:
When she fixed her relationship with Abuela
When she helped Bruno
When she helped Luisa
When she helped Isabella
When she put the doorknob on the house the magic returned(would that have worked if someone else have put it back on)
Or maybe she's just a super smart girl who loves her family. She's the greatest anyway.
Camilo, Felix and Mirabel are my favourite characters in encanto
I think the reason Casita responds to Abuela and Mirabel only is because they are the only once seen talking to Abuelo Pedro (Mirabel greeting him and Abuela asking him for help)
Pedro was a wizard and his sacrifice placed a protective charm over the community. Because he was a wizard, his children and grandkids have powers
Their powers reflects their emotions is another thing from Charmed. "Leo: Your power comes from your emotion". In a fan theories of if Bruno had kids, his son would b a necromancer, able to see, hear ghost that r present, as well as make them visible for other and summon them from beyond the grave of the afterlife for a visit. To make the power of 3, it would b of wealth in my fan theory; spiritual wealth of healing broken hearts to speak with lost loved ones, another would like Isabela...create (manifest from nothing) manipulate-control and negate (make them vanish) all kinds of gemstones since Bruno conjure emerald tablets, as monetary. And the third would see the past and present for knowledge wealth. I think Bruno would have only boys since Julieta has only girls and Pepa r a gender swamp of Alma's.
Mirabel’s ‘Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood’ (knocking on her family’s doors) at the beginning of the film signaled her connection to Bruno :P.
Plus, if she’s usually the first one up to go set the table, she’s probably the first person Bruno saw every morning from behind the family tree picture.
if shes the first one up bruno wouldn't have seen her

_Tú eres nuestro don, cree en ti._ (You are our gift, we believe in you.)
I want the theory that the spirit of Casita is actually Pedro's spirit to be true. 🤞🏾
It makes complete sense. I actually thought that they would have made it clear, in the movie, that the magic was Pedro. It makes sense that when Pedro gave his life, his spirit was still wanting to protect his family so his spirit created everything in the Encanto.
Also, Mirabel didn't need a gift, she WAS the gift. When she touched the door knob, the magic transfered INTO her instead of giving her a room.
The others were so busy serving that they didn't see each other or how the surface pressure was cracking them all, but Mirabel could focus on THE FAMILY because she wasn't so busy being used for her gift.
