To say someone 'was lost' is a long-standing euphemism for death. The version of the story that Abuela Alma tells Young Mirabel at the beginning of the film is a sanitized version, partly because Mirabel is only five years old at the time, and so wouldn't really understand the concept of death, but partly because Abuela is still traumatized by her husband's murder. When Abuela is finally able to open up about what happened that night, Mirabel is finally able to understand *why* Abuela is the way she is. They have both misunderstood each other, and only by both of them being completely honest can the family heal.
To build on this, in the 40s and 50s in Colombia there was a lot of violence going on, including a lot of forced displacement like what happened to the group that included the Madrigals that ended up in the Encanto. Men on horseback with machetes were known to uh. Decapitate people. Context clues say that's what happened to Pedro, right in front of his wife holding their three infants. It's... pretty understandable how that could traumatize her so badly.
I love how Louisa is protecting her little sister through the whole surface pressure song. She's moving her sister out of harms way and running towards the danger. Very dope!
Before I forget it, I love how you looked away from the movie and to the camera at 5:46, and you didn't see the same look you gave the camera as Mirabel gave to Isa at her entrance.
I continuously cried from the moment Abuela told Mirabel to step aside before Antonio's party until the credits rolled. Especially during Isabella's song about not needing to be perfect. In my family, I am a mix of Isabella and Mirabel. I was a perfectionist and still am, but once I stepped off the path my family wanted me on, I became the disappointment and scapegoat. I haven't been physically ostracized, but our already shaky bond is now shattering because I am not conforming to their standards. So this whole movie hit so close to home, I had a cryfest in the theaters for most of the movie
Haley, I just want you to know that your Internet Aunty Chelle is so proud of you. You're amazing as is, and "succeed" or "fail" you're a blessing to the world.
I lost my big sister in August. Completely unexpectedly. I understand the heartbreak of the sister scenes. Wishing you the best. I’m sorry you’re going through this, too.
Wishing you the best as well. My heart hurts for you and your family. I don’t think it gets easier, but there ends up being more positive memories than sad ones. Eventually. ❤️❤️❤️
That’s refreshing and appealing, honestly. Living in a patriarch celebrated country, it gets kinda old as these “alpha” men are always seen as a standard for people to live up to. But not in matriarch led countries. From what I’ve seen anyway. It’s just how things are there but there aren’t like people saying they’re the women of the house, or now that’s a real woman. Basically just no constant comparisons to gender and accomplishments or positive traits. I could be wrong but that’s just the impression I get.
Mirabel's father and uncle have no gifts, but are in the picture. Nobody told her she couldn't be in the picture (though they should have called her forward, for sure) so we can see that Mirabel is holding herself back, doesn't see herself as fully part of the family. In the end, she finally sees herself and her place in the family, and Casita reflects that with the new door.
This. A lot of people fail to realize that Mirabel did not take the initiative to join the picture and chose to stay back, even when she wasn’t specifically excluded. Abuela did say “everyone together!” But! She’s also constantly felt like the outsider in the family which is why she was holding herself back. So I think both sides hold some responsibility for the Mirabel’s exclusion from the picture. They should’ve realized she wasn’t there and she should’ve stepped forward as she IS a madrigal. But I get it. Sometimes, people get left out without ill intent. I’ve been accidentally excluded from family photos in a large family also. It’s hard to keep track of everyone. My parents didn’t realize until after that I wasn’t there. lol
I watched this movie for the 50th time the other day and noticed something. In scenes where there's alot of commotion, Delores is always covering her ears, and always speaking quietly. And I got to thinking, that poor girl has got to have a constant headache from all the noise 😞
As I don't see it and it really got to me - at the river abuela addresses Bruno "Brunito". This is because adding "-it-" before the final vowel creates a diminutive (similar how e.g. Bob or Bobby is a diminutive of Robert). You can hear this also in few other places in the film (Mirabel addresses Antonio "hermanito", hermano meaning brother, the house is called "casita" - whereas casa means house). Anyway, it shows all the love and affection of abuela towards long lost son - all that was held back during those 10 years.
Look at everyone’s expressions and actions. You can tell everyone has a problem with what Abuela was doing. Mirabel’s gift is to bring to the family together. She’s the next Abuela
@@LittleMan27 I just watched this thank you for sharing it with me! I was crying all over again. Learning the genius of this song makes me appreciate it so much more. I understand the Oscar nomination, I get it. Beautiful, just beautiful.
I agree! Something that always strikes me when Abuela comes in after Isabela's song is the LOOK on Isabela's face, the fear and dread in her eyes, and the shame in her posture as she stands in the back with Luisa. It's at 25:22, and the way she flinches just gets me every time. It's such a departure from the confident, poised 'princesa' that we're shown during the first half of the movie that is always pushes home just how much of her is hidden behind her 'perfection'. It also always makes me want to protect her, because she literally is hugging herself, afraid of her own grandmother.
Antonio has the worst gift. He either has to let his carnivore friends eat his herbivore friends or watch them starve. By hearing them all, he empathizes with them all. He does have the coolest room though. My favorite part of the movie is in the credits. Luisa is shown in surface pressure with the whole town on her back and in the credits, other people step in to help her lift it. I always keep the credits on until that moment.
One of the many things this movie showed excellently is the sibling problem. That just so happens that older siblings often have to be an example for younger ones (like "perfect" Isabela) or carry the family burdens when younger siblings appear (like Luisa). Alas, in the real world that is often taken for granted (and then everybody's surprised - "why can't they be perfect / be of use anymore?")
I love Encanto and I have a lot to say so here goes. There is a theory that Abuello became the Casita (they both do the little wave, there are butterflies everywhere which symbolizes his spirit and when Abella and Abuello met, and Casita and Abuello both do everything they can to help and protect the family). Also I believe that Mirabel is the next Keeper of the Candle (Abuela's role). She is the glue that keeps her family together. She is the most companionate, always knows what to say to help empower others. She didn't get a door 1) because that position was currently being filled and 2) because she needed to embrace everyone in her family, including herself. 3) To open Abuela's eyes to her mistake. Her role is to strengthen and help the family grow, something Abuela thought she was doing, but lost sight of the real reason for the miracle. Abuela has been mourning her husband for 50 years (throughout the movie she wears a black shawl to symbolize this) but after the scene with Mirabel she no longer wears it. I also love that the first thing Abuela does after opening up to Mirabel is hug Bruno symbolizing her embracing the future.
Saying 'I lost someone' is a very old fashioned way of saying they died. Good way to soften it for the kids. I'm sensitive about sister stories too, and they're still around. Loved your reaction video. Felt you got all the jokes and nuance. Will check out your other content too. I love horror stuff. Hope Encanto wins a ton of awards. They've earned it.
Little Antonio's gift is gonna turn the whole family vegan. I also always wondered what mirabel's mom her room looks like. Is it just another kitchen?😂
Antonio is now friends with some animals that can't survive on a vegan or vegetarian diet, I'm sure he won't mind his family eating meat too. Julieta's room probably looks like a lab/kitchen combo where she can experiment with recipes and maybe a place to grow medicinal plants.
@@funnylilgalreacts I honestly cannot think of a single role that John Leguizamo hasn't knocked completely out of the park. And yes, that includes Super Mario Bros, lol.
I have to say, I wouldn't want Antonio's gift more than Luisa's or Isabela's. But that's mostly because I'm fairly introverted, so I wouldn't want to talk to animals any more than I would most people. 6:29 Which, coincidentally is probably the source of 70% (at least) of Isabela's resentment of her. Just as Mirabel is jealous of the attention and care Isabela receives, Isabela would never admit it at the start, but she's jealous of Mirabel having the freedom to do as she wants, and longs to not have the pressure that comes with being expected to be perfect. 26:19 Of course, while Abuela was the biggest part of the issues with the magic, as the primary source of most of the stressors on the family, Mirabel was not completely correct here. After all, the biggest crack came when she made that declaration. The miracle was simply reflecting the condition of the family. The familial relationship was full of cracks, illustrated so well in that some of the smaller cracks repaired themselves when Isabela and Mirabel fixed their relationship. When Mirabel made that statement, she basically took a hammer to the biggest shatterpoint in the family dynamic. Unfortunately, it was also likely that Abuela would not have noticed the issue without serious therapy if she didn't, though. So, it had to be broken fully for her to realize what was needed to fix it.
I don’t think anyone has explained this. Disney decided to submit only one song for the Oscar nomination. When two songs have been nominated from a film, they can split the vote. Because the deadline for submissions fell before the film was released, Disney chose Dos Origuitos, thinking it would resonate more with older Oscar voters. They did not predict that We Don’t Talk About Bruno would become a monster hit and Surface Pressure would receive a lot of critical praise. Two bad. I think either song would win; I’m less sure about Dos Origuitos.
I'm doubtful. One thing the Oscar voters look for is a song that is also important to the narrative. The entire sequence of Dos Origuitas is possibly the most important in the movie, as it tells the true story of the origin of the family, and has one of the most amazing expressions of pure grief and loss.
@@Valandar2 That's true. In fact, Lin-Manuel Miranda himself confirmed in an interview with (I think) Entertainment Weekly that he deliberately chose to submit "Dos Origuitos" to the Oscars instead of "Surface Pressure" or "We Don't Talk About Bruno" specifically because he thought the nomination should go to the song that best suits the themes of the movie, not the most popular and/or best song. He did the same thing with Moana, where he deliberately chose to submit "How Far I'll Go" instead of "You're Welcome".
Orugitas* caterpillars lol Eh I feel like people are less confident about Dos Orugitas because it’s not poppy enough. You can’t dance or party to it. In a culture that thrives on celebrations and parties, that’s probably why but honestly, Dos Orugitas would’ve been my first choice. It’s just a beautiful and deep ballad that’s meant to invoke emotion. After would be We Don’t talk about Bruno. All songs tell a story but what I don’t like about the other two is that the music is so catchy and upbeat, people so often aren’t actually paying attention to the lyrics and the stories they tell and miss the message. Less so with ballads like Dos Orugitas.
Thank you. "Encanto" has affected me on a personal level more than any Disney movie in years. I've watched with dozens of people, and viewed dozens of reaction videos - only you have had the same reactions as I have. I feel the same every time I watch it. When Antonio hands her the doorknob... after wishing for her to have her own, at the beginning of the movie... and then escorts her to the door... 😭😭💔💔 I was starting to think it was just me...
I read a theory somewhere that Julietta's (Mirabel's mom) ability has some part tied to what she wants to heal, because with all the healing food she can make, she decided not to correct Mirabel's eyesight.
Maybe she heals wounds and injuries, but poor eyesight isn't really either of those. She doesn't seem to change all "imperfections", just heals acute injury/illness
Hey, I cried at this movie again watching your reaction, THANKS A LOT 😭😭😭😭😭 Edit: oh, also I would like to recommend "Tick, Tick... BOOM!", which is Lin-Manuel Miranda's directorial debut. My favorite movie from last year. Andrew Garfield is amaaaaaazing in it.
I love hearing you cried too! It’s a touching movie! Tick Tick Boom is on the list! I need to watch it before the Oscar’s so I’m not influenced by any results! Andrew is amazing I can’t wait!
*Colombia is called the Country of 1000 Rhythms, because it has 1,025.* Very rich musical culture. *Colombia is the Most Bio-diverse Country in the World by Km², and 2nd. by extension, after Brazil.*
There's a lot of comments as I'm a year late to the party, but I remember the Oscar submission was done before "We don't talk about Bruno" blew up. They were counting on the love song to pull at some heart strings, but they didn't get the award. Many theorize if Bruno was nominated instead, it would have won.
I love that in the “We don’t talk about Bruno” song, the girl with the super hearing talks about hearing him mumbling because she knows he’s in the walls. Technically so does little Antonio because he can talk to the rats
Wow! If I could send you a supportive pat on the back through the internet ether, I would have during your heartfelt reaction. I totally agree, Luisa’s song is hands down the best. Anyway, great review. Good on you for it. I haven’t seen any of your others, so I’ll check’em out because they align with my own interests. You certainly confirmed that honest, heartfelt RUclips reactions seems to be the only way I can get my dopamine fix nowadays, so thanks for given me a taste of the feels! Keep up with being a good human being and stay awesome!!!
They say Maribel’s gift was that she is the next sucesor to take care of the miracle and give the gifts to future family members, and also casita is actually abuelo Pedro’s soul. 🥰🥰
Most people believe that Mirabel didn#t get an overt gift because the house is her gift. she is the next head of the family, set to replace abuela one day. Noone else has so deep a connection with the House as her and she is able to listen to everyone in the family.
Her gift is definitely her heart! I know Abuela hardened overtime to try to protect your family to where Mirabel won’t have to do that. She’s such a shining late for that family
Awwww sucks you had to cut out Dos Orguitas completely. It's my favorite song in the movie and also the best moment. Your reaction is amazing but man that scene not being here is rough.
Great reaction and I'm sorry about your loss. It's well written movies like this that expose complex family dynamics that help connect personal feelings and issues with the story's characters. This was a real gem after i had written off being excited by Disney movies. Felt fresh, surprising, and messy in a good way.
Really enjoyed this reaction. I, too, loved all the songs (and the movie as a whole of course!), but my favorite was Luisa and her “Surface Pressure” song. I’m sorry for the loss of your sister and thank you for this.
Mirabels gift was to understand the family as much as it sucks her not having a gift at the start is what allowed her to understand every single person in the family considering she predicted Antonio's gift she knew him so well that she could predict it because she could focus on her family instead of being pressured by Abuela like everyone else
The only thing I hate about this movie is the grandmother, she’s not even giving merabell a chance or her entire family isn’t giving her a chance except for Antonio, the strong sister and Bruno. But I’m glad the grandmother got nicer in the end.
Hey! Great video, I just wanted to say something about how you mentioned you lost your sister. I'm so sorry for you, and I hope you're okay. That's a really hard thing to go through and I just wanted to say I understand and I hope you've found a way to remember her without too much pain. Anyway, thanks for making great content, have a great day!
Thank you ❤️ I miss her a lot, but sister stories like this make me so happy. Sometimes some make me sad, but either way, feeling those feelings makes me always remember her and I love that. Thank you for watching and taking the time to check on me, I really do appreciate it
Luisa’s song is my favorite. We don’t talk about Bruno was number one on Spotify and billboard so it was the top hit. Dos Oruguitas (two caterpillars) is such a beautiful song. I don’t know what it’s saying but it makes me cry it’s so pretty. It was the first song Lin Manuel wrote all in Spanish.
Your reaction (face expressions) made me cry more than the movie 💔💔💔 I could see that you were feeling the movie and was obvious that some parts of the movie really touched you! It was a beautiful and honest react video! Your vulnerability is wonderful….(I’m thinking as an actor) you could be a great actress! Ps: excuse my basic English!
I was looking for some encanto reactions, but i think i found gold here ... your reactions were amazing ... new suscriber for sure .. keep the good work
Love your reactions your sentimentality and the strength to show your feelings... I love that... I saw your Coco reaction and came to this... I'll keep seeing the rest.
Gah! A feel good animated Disney musical! My eyes! They burnnnn!!! Back to my dark crawlspace! But before I descend into the netherworld, I will tell you that the Bruno of "We don't talk about Bruno" is actually Sasha Baron Cohen's character, Bruno...
That was a really beatiful, honest reaction (like always) 💖👍 You made me cry again! 🥲 I wast alone at home on Christmas Eve had me ready a good meal and vino ...perfect setting to watch the new Disney... I absolutely had neither expectations nor any information but it got me right from the opening sequence. At the latest until "Surfeace Pressure" when I thought "Wait, this kind of sounds like Hamilton...". ❤️❤️❤️
I watched the movie for the same reason. Why the hell don't we talk about bruno lol. Loved your reaction and how you picked up on alot of the messages this film conveys.
Awww thank you! Every now and then I get a random comment telling me that I talk too much and it makes me very insecure. So I like hearing that someone likes my commentaries as well😂😂
Wow :D didn’t expect you to watch that type of movies ! That’s cool and, very genuine reaction, as always ;) but now i can’t help myself to suggest to you to watch « Up » (2009) or Okja ( korean movie from 2017), not musicals but it’s beautiful :)
I don’t watch horror movies. So I’m glad you reacted to this movie. One of my favorites. It gives me the chance to give you another well deserved Thumbs Up 👍🏻 Wonderful reaction. Keep up the great work. Have a Wonderful Day.
Thanks Bob! I appreciate it! I want diversity in what I watch in general, but when someone suggest something that’ll make me cry… I just have to react to it ☺️
Plus (at the beginning of the movie) it is a Grandmother telling a story to her 5 year old Granddaughter. So saying "lost" instead of "died" makes sense.
Love your necklace by the way I have a Pentagram ring that I always wear. Any way with that said yes I liked this movie too with the message that we are perfect because if our flaws and always be true to who you are. I liked the sister's songs the most too and i think this movie won the oscar for best song with the Two butterflies because it was sung by a well known spanish singer and if you look at the words and the English translation to them it is actually quite beautiful. Maribel's gift is her love and devotion to her family and because of that she is connected to the house and it's magic in every way so yes her anger broke the house and caused cracks but when she was happy and finally accepted the house came to life once more.
While this is the first first reaction of yours I watch I can aleady say that I'm very interested in seeing you singing this soundtrack or The greatest showman but oh well. Can't get everything I guess but I'm a new subscriber for sure.
Too many reactors pretty much ignore the line, "I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service..." You didn't. Thank you.
I think that one hit the hardest ❤️
That line was a knife to the gut
SUUUPER dark line.
...Aaaand apropos.
That'd be me. I felt like that most of my life, carrying the load and still. But.. I also feel a lot like Mirabel.
It hits me so hard every time.

Every reaction I have seen, everyone's been like "This family don't deserve Mirabel" at the start 🥺
She's the hero they need, but not the one they deserve.
My grandmother is the same way. It's the cultural in Colombia. Over protective, woman pretty much are the alpha males in the family and cultural.
I love that though, the matriarch is highly respected. Probably took good care of everyone along the way ❤️

I think either song would win; I’m less sure about Dos Origuitos.
That makes a lot of sense!
I'm doubtful. One thing the Oscar voters look for is a song that is also important to the narrative. The entire sequence of Dos Origuitas is possibly the most important in the movie, as it tells the true story of the origin of the family, and has one of the most amazing expressions of pure grief and loss.
@@Valandar2 That's true. In fact, Lin-Manuel Miranda himself confirmed in an interview with (I think) Entertainment Weekly that he deliberately chose to submit "Dos Origuitos" to the Oscars instead of "Surface Pressure" or "We Don't Talk About Bruno" specifically because he thought the nomination should go to the song that best suits the themes of the movie, not the most popular and/or best song. He did the same thing with Moana, where he deliberately chose to submit "How Far I'll Go" instead of "You're Welcome".
Since I can't edit my comment, I would like to make one correction. The interview I mentioned was not with Entertainment Weekly, it was with Variety.
Orugitas* caterpillars lol
Eh I feel like people are less confident about Dos Orugitas because it’s not poppy enough. You can’t dance or party to it. In a culture that thrives on celebrations and parties, that’s probably why but honestly, Dos Orugitas would’ve been my first choice. It’s just a beautiful and deep ballad that’s meant to invoke emotion. After would be We Don’t talk about Bruno. All songs tell a story but what I don’t like about the other two is that the music is so catchy and upbeat, people so often aren’t actually paying attention to the lyrics and the stories they tell and miss the message. Less so with ballads like Dos Orugitas.
I didn’t know what to expect when i watched the movie, but it was actually really good! also best reactions as always :D
Yeah, this film certainly manages to poke deep inside your soul and mind to tease out those closely guarded emotions and thoughts.
Childhood trauma. All these movies find that wounded child inside and it hurts but it’s also therapeutic.
You're not single because you have passion. You just haven't found someone who shares it yet. Keep looking!
There is two rules now. We don't talk about Bruno and we don't talk about fight club.
😂😂
Guys... Fight Club with Bruno as main character!
Thank you. "Encanto" has affected me on a personal level more than any Disney movie in years. I've watched with dozens of people, and viewed dozens of reaction videos - only you have had the same reactions as I have. I feel the same every time I watch it.
When Antonio hands her the doorknob... after wishing for her to have her own, at the beginning of the movie... and then escorts her to the door... 😭😭💔💔
I was starting to think it was just me...
Hahaha. "Wow. I'm already emotional". Yup. Gonna need a lot of tissues for this one
I love how genuine your reaction was. Dang best reaction.
Thank you 🥺
"I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling"
Not "could"
I read a theory somewhere that Julietta's (Mirabel's mom) ability has some part tied to what she wants to heal, because with all the healing food she can make, she decided not to correct Mirabel's eyesight.
Maybe she heals wounds and injuries, but poor eyesight isn't really either of those. She doesn't seem to change all "imperfections", just heals acute injury/illness
Hey, I cried at this movie again watching your reaction, THANKS A LOT 😭😭😭😭😭
Edit: oh, also I would like to recommend "Tick, Tick... BOOM!", which is Lin-Manuel Miranda's directorial debut. My favorite movie from last year. Andrew Garfield is amaaaaaazing in it.
I love hearing you cried too! It’s a touching movie!
Tick Tick Boom is on the list! I need to watch it before the Oscar’s so I’m not influenced by any results! Andrew is amazing I can’t wait!
*Colombia is called the Country of 1000 Rhythms, because it has 1,025.* Very rich musical culture.
*Colombia is the Most Bio-diverse Country in the World by Km², and 2nd. by extension, after Brazil.*
There's a lot of comments as I'm a year late to the party, but I remember the Oscar submission was done before "We don't talk about Bruno" blew up. They were counting on the love song to pull at some heart strings, but they didn't get the award. Many theorize if Bruno was nominated instead, it would have won.
I love that in the “We don’t talk about Bruno” song, the girl with the super hearing talks about hearing him mumbling because she knows he’s in the walls. Technically so does little Antonio because he can talk to the rats
Wow! If I could send you a supportive pat on the back through the internet ether, I would have during your heartfelt reaction. I totally agree, Luisa’s song is hands down the best. Anyway, great review. Good on you for it. I haven’t seen any of your others, so I’ll check’em out because they align with my own interests. You certainly confirmed that honest, heartfelt RUclips reactions seems to be the only way I can get my dopamine fix nowadays, so thanks for given me a taste of the feels! Keep up with being a good human being and stay awesome!!!
AWWW thank you for all the comments and watching every thing! I always try to be the most genuine I can and I appreciate you noticing that!
They say Maribel’s gift was that she is the next sucesor to take care of the miracle and give the gifts to future family members, and also casita is actually abuelo Pedro’s soul. 🥰🥰
Most people believe that Mirabel didn#t get an overt gift because the house is her gift. she is the next head of the family, set to replace abuela one day. Noone else has so deep a connection with the House as her and she is able to listen to everyone in the family.
Her gift is definitely her heart! I know Abuela hardened overtime to try to protect your family to where Mirabel won’t have to do that. She’s such a shining late for that family
Let's appreciate how Bruno just walked through that wall, when the house started to crumble.
Im really happy that my culture was inspired in this movie. Colombia 🇨🇴 I adore your reaction
I’m really happy I got to experience your culture, even through a movie.
Awwww sucks you had to cut out Dos Orguitas completely. It's my favorite song in the movie and also the best moment. Your reaction is amazing but man that scene not being here is rough.
There wasn’t much of a reaction from me ☹️, it’s probably one of my favorite songs now
Great reaction and I'm sorry about your loss. It's well written movies like this that expose complex family dynamics that help connect personal feelings and issues with the story's characters. This was a real gem after i had written off being excited by Disney movies. Felt fresh, surprising, and messy in a good way.
I half want a version where Bruno is a "villain" who's trying to destroy the miracle, but his reason to do so is to save his family from its burden.
What an amazing video reaction. Thanks for being true, honest and able to share your raw emotion with us. Well done! 👍🏾
❤️
The green glasses girl got a gift her gift is if she is happy the house is happy if she's falling apart the house is falling apart
Really enjoyed this reaction. I, too, loved all the songs (and the movie as a whole of course!), but my favorite was Luisa and her “Surface Pressure” song. I’m sorry for the loss of your sister and thank you for this.
Mirabels gift was to understand the family as much as it sucks her not having a gift at the start is what allowed her to understand every single person in the family considering she predicted Antonio's gift she knew him so well that she could predict it because she could focus on her family instead of being pressured by Abuela like everyone else
The only thing I hate about this movie is the grandmother, she’s not even giving merabell a chance or her entire family isn’t giving her a chance except for Antonio, the strong sister and Bruno.
But I’m glad the grandmother got nicer in the end.
Well this is certainly a departure from your usual offerings! Fun times. Top notch as always.
Aww thanks! I warned everyone on Instagram but kinda left it up to chance here 😆
Hey! Great video, I just wanted to say something about how you mentioned you lost your sister. I'm so sorry for you, and I hope you're okay. That's a really hard thing to go through and I just wanted to say I understand and I hope you've found a way to remember her without too much pain. Anyway, thanks for making great content, have a great day!
Thank you ❤️ I miss her a lot, but sister stories like this make me so happy. Sometimes some make me sad, but either way, feeling those feelings makes me always remember her and I love that.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to check on me, I really do appreciate it
Encanto is the most beautiful portrait of my country Colombia; her pain, her love, her magic... I'm positive that Bruno would adore you too.
Luisa’s song is my favorite. We don’t talk about Bruno was number one on Spotify and billboard so it was the top hit. Dos Oruguitas (two caterpillars) is such a beautiful song. I don’t know what it’s saying but it makes me cry it’s so pretty. It was the first song Lin Manuel wrote all in Spanish.
Your reaction (face expressions) made me cry more than the movie 💔💔💔 I could see that you were feeling the movie and was obvious that some parts of the movie really touched you!
It was a beautiful and honest react video!
Your vulnerability is wonderful….(I’m thinking as an actor) you could be a great actress!
Ps: excuse my basic English!
If only generational trauma can be fixed with a song and a hug. This movie surprised me by how hard it hit home.
Hi! You’re a terrific reactor and I loved this one. I’d love to see your take on even more movies and shows. Thank you for all the great videos!
Aww thank you! I appreciate that so much!
Exactly why I had to watch the movie 😅😅 got the song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” in my head and had to know!
I was looking for some encanto reactions, but i think i found gold here ... your reactions were amazing ... new suscriber for sure .. keep the good work
Awww thank you!!! Welcome!!!
I’m happy the RUclips algorithms brought me to you today. Really enjoyed your reaction. Subbed.
Aww thanks!! I’m glad you found me ❤️
Love your reactions your sentimentality and the strength to show your feelings... I love that... I saw your Coco reaction and came to this... I'll keep seeing the rest.
Gah! A feel good animated Disney musical! My eyes! They burnnnn!!! Back to my dark crawlspace!
But before I descend into the netherworld, I will tell you that the Bruno of "We don't talk about Bruno" is actually Sasha Baron Cohen's character, Bruno...
😂😂
I think you're the first reactor smart enough to keep tissues handy lol. good call
I bought a case of them 🤣
It's my first time being here and I have to say you are beautiful
This was the best reaction videó I’ve seen, and I’ve seen most of them. Thank you.
Lovely reaction, thank you!
That was a really beatiful, honest reaction (like always) 💖👍 You made me cry again! 🥲
I wast alone at home on Christmas Eve had me ready a good meal and vino ...perfect setting to watch the new Disney... I absolutely had neither expectations nor any information but it got me right from the opening sequence.
At the latest until "Surfeace Pressure" when I thought "Wait, this kind of sounds like Hamilton...". ❤️❤️❤️
It was very Hamilton influenced. I love the way Lin writes his music. It’s very…. Lin.
@@funnylilgalreacts 100% agreement on that! 🎼🎶😌
Thank you for you reaction! Definitely enjoyed this 🥰
Keep up the good work! 🙏
i’m so happy i stumbled across your channel loved your reaction to this ❣️
Thank you!
Loved your reaction ! Lmao the way you looked at the camera at 5:46 like in an The Office episode had me ROLLING
Sorry to hear about your sister and love your reaction
I watched the movie for the same reason. Why the hell don't we talk about bruno lol. Loved your reaction and how you picked up on alot of the messages this film conveys.
How come the hearer never heard Bruno in the walls
I just love your reactions and commentaries
Awww thank you! Every now and then I get a random comment telling me that I talk too much and it makes me very insecure. So I like hearing that someone likes my commentaries as well😂😂
Your reactions mirrored mine so much. Love this vid, and I feel it was a great way to discover your channel
Aww thanks!
Nice reaction keep up the great work
U should start watching Kung Fu panda
Ooooh I’ve never seen watched them! I’ve seen other reactors thumbnails and told myself I’d have to check them out…
Wow :D didn’t expect you to watch that type of movies ! That’s cool and, very genuine reaction, as always ;) but now i can’t help myself to suggest to you to watch « Up » (2009) or Okja ( korean movie from 2017), not musicals but it’s beautiful :)
I have seen Up (I was a mess) but not Okja!
My favorite Encanto song is Dos Oruguitas. Beautiful lyrics and a lovely song overall.
I'm a year late, but your page is known for adorable tears, and you chose a film that is made to make grown Men 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have a feeling you are Mirabel and you have the power to heal inside you
I don’t watch horror movies. So I’m glad you reacted to this movie. One of my favorites. It gives me the chance to give you another well deserved Thumbs Up 👍🏻 Wonderful reaction. Keep up the great work. Have a Wonderful Day.
Thanks Bob! I appreciate it! I want diversity in what I watch in general, but when someone suggest something that’ll make me cry… I just have to react to it ☺️
So when they sent out the description of the Louisa character. It was described as a tough crybaby middle child. 😂🤣
Poor Luisa 😂😂
I forgot his name but the guy who voiced Sid in ice age is the voice of Bruno.
Abuelo died. It's a Disney film so not to shout "death" to the kiddies.
Plus (at the beginning of the movie) it is a Grandmother telling a story to her 5 year old Granddaughter. So saying "lost" instead of "died" makes sense.
Oh, and P.S. -- I know I'm writing this in June, but....Happy Valentine's Day!
Love your necklace by the way I have a Pentagram ring that I always wear. Any way with that said yes I liked this movie too with the message that we are perfect because if our flaws and always be true to who you are. I liked the sister's songs the most too and i think this movie won the oscar for best song with the Two butterflies because it was sung by a well known spanish singer and if you look at the words and the English translation to them it is actually quite beautiful. Maribel's gift is her love and devotion to her family and because of that she is connected to the house and it's magic in every way so yes her anger broke the house and caused cracks but when she was happy and finally accepted the house came to life once more.
I hope you react to West Side Story. It's out on Disney+ March 2nd.
Am I the only one who thinks that the 1st cactus Isabela creates looks vaguely like the outline of a certain Mouse we all know?
We dont talk about Bruno... but they won't shut up singing about him.
I feel with you! This movie destroys me in the best ways. Time to watch again...
Awesome, I love this movie and I like musicals too. Have you seen La La Land yet?
I haven’t!
@@funnylilgalreacts Its a wonderful musical romance film that won 6 oscars, highly recommended for a reaction :)
I thought the Spanish version of "Two Little Caterpillars" was much more deserving. Sebastián Yatra - Dos Oruguitas
Bruno is my favorite character
love sister stories too my favorite is lilo and stitch
@funnylilgalreacts : Bruno wasn't voiced by Lin, but by John Leguizamo :) .
I’m very sorry for your loss of your sister
"Carrying a lot of ASS there" AS IM DRINKING COFFEE!!!! Scuse me as I grab a paper towel LMAO
Hahaha! Hopefully it was Colombian coffee!
@@funnylilgalreacts 😂😂💀💀
Yeah this movie makes me cry every time then again most movies do lol im such a softie
Great reaction....liked & subbed.
❤️❤️
I’m sorry for your loss
9:13...I'm pretty sure Colombian Snow White has a totally different meaning than you think it does.
While this is the first first reaction of yours I watch I can aleady say that I'm very interested in seeing you singing this soundtrack or The greatest showman but oh well. Can't get everything I guess but I'm a new subscriber for sure.
