For those of you that may be a little confused as to what’s going on, here is Mirabel’s Villain story for context.
STORY
Mirabel has always tried to be understanding, tried to accept that her family was meant to shine and she was meant to blend into the background. She tried to be loving and kind and helpful but her family responded to that kindness with cruelty. They refused to see Mirabel as a valued member of the family and in our story instead of forgiving and trying to connect with her family Mirabel rejects them.
Our Mirabel has allowed her disdain and hatred to grow, and now that darkness blinds her. Her pure heart tarnished by bitterness and her mind set on revenge. If they won’t see her as a valued member of the family then she’ll take away that which they treasure most. To be loved and valued less than a candle, it’s laughable really.
And so it’s about time Mirabel placed a mirror in front of her family, showing them exactly what she sees. Pepa, a frightened coward, hiding in her storms and constantly running from the truth. Dolores, like her mother, too afraid of the truth and of what it means to speak up. Isabela, putting on a performance everyday to avoid what facing herself could truly mean, what facing her thorns could mean. And Alma, the Matriarch, sitting so high above them all that she can no longer see her family, can no longer see what truly matter.
Every single member of her family saw Mirabel’s suffering, saw Bruno’s suffering and chose to ignore it. And so they are no longer worthy of her love, no longer deserving of all the sacrifices Mirabel has made to make this family work. And so, the thing they love and value most will be taken from them. Maybe then they’ll learn what truly matters, that is if they make it out alive.
I really really hope you enjoyed the song! We have put in literal months of work to get this out to you and are so hyped to see it released to the world!

So much work goes into these videos so I thought I’d let the other wonderful people on this project introduce themselves!
BEN (arranger) - Hi I'm Ben Tomalin!
I'm a London-based composer and musician, mostly focused on musical theatre. I'm on instagram (though I don't post much) along with my new musical @withoutthemusical , which Lydia was actually in last year! I would really appreciate a follow on that account if you're interested, and we're heading up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August if anyone's around!
I have also been considering starting a youtube channel of my compositions and the arrangements I've done for Lyds so let me know if any of you would be interested in that!
Thanks Lyds for inviting me!
SHRUBBUG (artist) - Hello! Im Shrubbug ^^ 🌱✨
Im a young filipino artist that aspires to be a character designer and animator one day! I like making fanart and aus of existing media and I especially love making characters to insert into existing stories! (Basically Oc insert jazz 😁)
Im mostly active on instagram!! So if you’d like to see more of my work, i go by @Shrubbuggish_, Id love to have your support!!
I’m planning on opening commissions, posting more art and hopefully more animatics soon! If you’re interested you should totally follow. (Oooo you want to follow me so bad. Im hypnotizing you to. /joke)
Thank you to Lydia for giving me such a wonderful opportunity! And Thank you for reading this! Hope you enjoyed the show :>!!
Perhaps you could do Belle, if Gaston wins and she can’t save her love in time, before he kills him and comes at her gloating and trying to force her to marry him again. She could come vengeful back to the village that always whispered behind her back, and now murdered the Beast without even knowing him. She could come alone, or with an army of equally vengeful furniture.
Lydia the bard could you make a tinkerbell villain song using the song called the frigate that fleis from the movie tinkerbell and the pirate fairy
You should do Elsa's villain song. This could be incredible! And elsa was à villain in the begining so...
@@maryfoxie Lydia did one already. She sang villain Elsa’s Into the Unknown. Though it was more sad than evil, so maybe doing something more energetic, like reimagining what villain’s Let it go would sound like, would be interesting. Or maybe Anna could be a villain instead.
While she isn’t a Disney princess I would very much love to see Anastasia villain song.
Honestly, I’m surprised at how sound Mirabel’s morals stayed throughout the movie. She was told to just straight up stop helping prepare for the ceremony, forced to hide out of sight during the event, given death stares when she did step out, and excluded from the family portrait without a thought. Yet, she immediately put aside her own suffering when she found out how much anguish her family members were carrying around. She had every right to turn the movie into her villain origin story.
@pretzelcat581 I agree. I wish Encanto was a villain origin story. We never actually get movie about a villain’s origin story, and if we get anything on what made the villain a villain, they always basically summarize it in less than 30 seconds.
I don't get why abuala made her stop helping prepare for the ceremony, I get it she accidentally set something on fire but I'm sure her father has done worse and he still gets to help out, it's written off as she doesn't have any powers so can't help but the fathers don't either and they are always helping and they aren't treated similar to mirabelle.
And what’s worse is that Isabella fans victim blame her because she was jealous of her and saying that Isabella had the same struggles even though Isabella definitely had it easier than her
@chemistrytube6300 it was easier somehow but for some other people it's not : when everyone in the family push you to be perfect since childhood, the kid just get a fucked up brain - I mean, perfection starts to be everything they need in their life because they could get easily anxious and panick if things go wrong when they're used to perfection.
Kinda close to being gay or bisexual and hearing your whole family saying homophobics stuffs since childhood so you just pretend to be straight for a while.
@@mb-sb5ever The excuse being they married in rather being born in. Had Bruno been married or at least dating, his paramour wouldn't have been blamed either most likely. "you lucky dear, you don't have our responsibility."
I love how, despite this technically being a "villain" song, Mirabelle is mostly just defending herself and Bruno. Like, she's calling out everyone here and it's beautiful.
She killed them in the end
@@gabrieladapazlima7947 they could ve all just walked out yknow... it s not like she trapped them there
@@dreamergamer9291 i think that she closet the door in the end?
@@gabrieladapazlima7947 "oh no she closed the door!!!!! how are we gonna escape now!!!!!"
@@dreamergamer9291maybe we do what Bruno did when the hose was falling OR we can just slither through things
I like to imagine that the house supported Mirabel which is why it made no attempt to stop her from taking the candle. Casita and Mirabel clearly have the closest bond throughout the movie.
Casita saw how she was treated throughout the years and probably understood where she was coming from lmaoooo
Maybe villain mirabel has casita transform into her own personal villain castle after its destruction. Capable of defending her from outside threats. Creating traps. And with mirabels revenge and casita keeping her safe she may not know what to do with her life. She just sits there waiting for something. Anything.
Casita is most definitely Pedro, and he already sacrificed himself for his loved ones, so why not twice?
In concept art released it was reviled that Mirabel and Casita were connected, as in that sequence every time she screamed her mothers flaws a part of the house would crumble.@@kingdoppelganger8951
Nope, if you know anything about European languages, specifically Italian, French and Spanish (Spanish being the language most South American societies take) if something ends in A, its most likely female, Casita is female, eg: Abuela = Grandmother, Abuelo = Grandfather, same goes for most other pronouns, there is no in-between, only she and he in those languages.@@amai826
I like now straightforward Mirabel is.
Isabella attacks her, boom, her gift is gone. No flickering. Just… instant.
Oh SHIT!!😱😱😱
@@davidvaldezjr5546?
@@bewtnewt I just realized that.
Her aunt and cousin would also like their curses - I mean gifts - removed plz.
@@LilianaKali Most gifts are curses with the exception of Antonio's.
I like how Mirabel said "How's it feel to stain YOUR family name", not "OUR family name". It kinda shows just how dissociated she's become with her own family and I love it
Or alternatively it could be that Mirabel feels like her lack of a gift stains her family name, or atleast thinks that Abuela thinks so.
alternatively, she thinks she's doing nothing wrong, so she doesn't think her name is being stained?
@@alakazamlover4908 that's actually a really great alternative wow lmao
@@emsiyes I am a very out of the box thinker when I put my mind to it
@@alakazamlover4908what if it's both?
I feel the phrase "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." fits this song well.
Same😅😅
While this can be true for many things, growing up as a child I wasn’t embraced by my family. However I never stooped down to their level.
Sometimes you can treat a kid with love and good parenting, and they’ll still turn bad.
And like me, you can neglect and abuse your child, but they still remain a good person.
What's this quote from?
@@cecil_thestar3752 It's a proverb.
@@lunatpr5594 Thanks!
I love how at some point, in the end, the whole family is just crying and scared, meanwhile Camilo is just running towards Mirabel, this shows how much even when you think no one loves you, there‘s just that one person that‘ll always be with you
probably has something to do with the fact that she skipped his part when she was reading her family lol
@@no-yn6uy she also said nothing of Julieta, Luisa, or Antonio! She only targets the ones who she feel have done wrong (and, to be fair, she's right)
I was really hoping that more people noticed that too
Yeeeessss!!!!! I thought this was soooo cute!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I was your 1k like 😊
Its kinda crazy that the reason Mirabel didn't get a gift was because Alma lost sight of why she was given a miracle. The only reason Antonio got a gift was because Mirabel didnt want him to have a gift to be useful, she wanted him to have a gift because she wanted him to be happy.
Oh damn I finally get it
That is so smart. It explains also why his gift is more "nice to have" than useful.
My theory is that that happened afterward, that when Mirabel wiped her dress, she had waved off the magic, notice how no one else did that. (either that or Mirabel was Casita's choice to take over for Alma once Alma passed away, she was pretty old)
@@user-pr6lx1or8t The producers of the movie disproved that theory. It's not true.
@@madnelliotss D**N IT.......... :(
You know what I noticed. She never calls out Camilo, Luisa or Antonio. I think honestly she knows they are the only three who cared about her besides her parents who tries stand up for her in the movie. Imagine if she took Antonio with her as the house was falling apart.
One thing that makes me love this is that you can see that out of everyone, it's **Camilo** that tries to reach out for Mirabel.
Everyone else is either staring in shock/fear (Everyone) or are trying to get her to stop (Abuela, Isabel)
Then there's Camilo, who even though is scared, tries to *reach out for his cousin* and *is the only one to try*.
@@jmie7686 oh my gosh I didn’t notice that.
Reading these comments makes me want to see a sequel or, what I would want more, a show like tangled the series (best Disney show)
The main reason I want a series more is so it could showcase more relationships
The parents seemed to be fine with leaving Mirabel out of Antonio's picture though...
Honestly, a villain song where the villain points out all of the heroes’ flaws saying “this is why I do the things I do,” making the heroes doubt themselves, would be pretty chilling
The tangled show has a song that fits that description called "Ready as I'll ever be."
I’ve been making a playlist that are only these kinds of songs. Only has 6 so far.
@@antisocialmuffin6496and you're gonna hide it? Come on spill the tea
I actually I love this version very much. Mirabell didn't mince her word about her feelings toward her family. I enjoy watching the movie but it really tick me off on how they treat her mainly anr I have family that is like that.
I feel bad for you
I feel that I need to remind everyone - Mirabel is 15. _Fifteen years old._ Still in her early teens, which to a lot of people are some of the most intense years of their lives, me being one of them. If I was in her seat at that age, the relationship with my family would be forever ruined at best or I would've burned everything down to the ground at worst.
Yet Mirabel shows unending compassion and love to everyone in her family throughout the entire movie. She gave everyone the benefit of the doubt and she never did or said anything to hurt anyone.
At no point did the family, _especially_ the grandmother, seem to fully realize what they had done to both Mirabel and Bruno. There was never a moment where they seemed to receive the guilt they should be feeling, and they never apologized for how badly they had treated them.
There was no doubt that they cared for them, but the way they acted is absolutely unforgivable in my opinion.
Mirabel and Bruno deserved so much better and got _so much less_ than that.
THANK YOU! That's easily my biggest problem with the movie! They both went through all that undeserved crap but the movie ends with THE ABUSERS getting REWARDED despite their horrible treatment!
The "abusers" were not doing it out of sadistic desire, they lost sight of why they were given gifts, and started to be treated more as tools. Everyone was suffering, and the ending brought everyone together
@@hajimehinata5854doesnt mean that they had to treat mirabel and bruno like that.
@@zemi..i I am not justifying the actions, it's just that everyone was being hurt, not just Mirabel and Bruno, but those 2 had it the worst because of the corrupted family ideals
I like to imagine the reason she turned evil is from the idea Bruno died in this universe. She finds Bruno was living in the walls, shunned from the family. And despite all of his efforts, he dies never being embraced by his family again. With all the crap she's been put through and recognizing she's essentially becoming like Bruno because of her lack of powers, she finally snaps and the song occurs moments after.
When I rewatch it with this mindset,it makes a lot of sense😅
I thought the exact thing after hearing the song!
In the movie, Bruno did say he didn't know whether Mirabel would save or destroy the miracle, so this is entirely possible! I love how it fits into the story so smoothly!
Yes, that's exactly what I thought!! There were two possibilities and this was the one they didn't go with!!
In my opinion Encanto would have been a more compelling movie if Mirabel had turned into a villain, makes me wish this song was in it
@@hearmeout1767 sadly its a disney kid movie they wouldnt allow the mc to be a villain but honestly yea this is much more intresting
an alternate timeline since future is not fixed in Bruno's prediction. Love this song!!!
@@hearmeout1767yea but it’s a kids movie I think they wouldn’t do that
I like how the original version was about how Bruno's visions impacted the family, but this version is about how the whole family impacted Mirabel! You did such a good job at flipping the script!
ikr
Frrr
It's amazing! 🤩
and Bruno to an extent
The original version I think also has a subtext of by not talking about Bruno, we also don’t talk about the problems the family has. The grandmother wants to keep up this image of perfection for the family, so by not talking about the family’s black sheep (Bruno) we are pretending like everything is okay even when it isn’t. Unfortunately, by talking about it the family’s image is perfected, which is what gets the grandmother to lash out at Mirabel and causes the big blowup at the films climax. This could be an alternate way that blowup happens, with Mirabel blaming everyone else for how she feels, rather than calling out the grandmother for how she’s been acting. Still could be a great scene if it ever happened.
My favourite lines;
“From Bruno you turn on me, you whisper as if I cannot see”
“Each decibel dismissible”
“A constant sign of all that you lack”
“I reclaim all that I’ve lost, see you understand what your apathy cost”
I love the butterfly wings she's often shown with. Butterflies and butterfly wings are usually used to represent and symbolize peace, magic, etc. But here, it's used to represent the tragedy of Mirabel's past with her family, which is connected with butterflies. You could also make the argument that it's meant to represent the duality of fairies, fae, etc. While fairies, which have butterfly wings, tend to be depicted as good and kind creatures, they are also sometimes evil and cruel-hearted. This represents how Mirabel used to be kind and good, but her family has pushed her limit. She has been pushed to her breaking point, and so, has turned into what people consider the dark side of fairies.
Butterflies are also associated with transformation and rebirth, so perfectly fitting for a character transforming into the villain.
Their harbinger wings actually
The way she steal the other’s music and twists it to mock them and blames them like they blamed her…
I’m obsessed.
Yeah
Like we don't talk about Bruno and other song if she sings them
Fr.
Me to I'm obsessed fr I replayed it so may times ⏲️🤣😂
YEAH I'M THE VILLAIN IN YOUR FAIRYTALE NOW LOVE IT 2:05 so scary but really BEAUTIFUL
“A child, who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”
I quite love the idea of the dark Encanto takes. Because of how any of the central children (not Antonio or Camilo) has good motivation to become villains after Bruno is proven innocent. But Mirabel has different motivation to hate her family, but she still loves them.
You could even argue for Camilo if you fall into the idea that his shapeshifting gives him serious identity issues and that he's only wanted for who he can turn into, never himself (that would be more the towns fault than the family, but still)
Imo Dolores and Isabella have some pretty solid reasons to become villains.
Dolores probably knows horrible secrets about everyone she loves, and she's expected to just keep quiet about it for the family's sake even though nobody is considerate about how awful her power is (or the fact she's about to lose the guy she loves.)
Isabella isn't even allowed to be herself and could easily snap from the pressure of being forced into a loveless marriage. She could be an even more powerful version of Poison Ivy.
@@mistydemorrow4955 the original idea was for Camilo to appear at the end of the movie looking like somebody else/what he really looks like.
They thought this would make the ending of the movie to messy so it got scrapped.
@@BritishBoysWeO7 Wasted potential I say. They could have even added more in like what mistydemorrow said, Camilo having identify issues, whats her face hearing everything but keeping silent in fear of what would happen if she spoke up about what she heard, little miss weather lady who just blows up all the time to avoid the issues at hand. The only ones who seemed well adjusted was mirabels mother and the youngest child since he was too young to be directly involved
The day after Antonio got his gift Alma was already finding ways to “put it to good use”
I think what makes this so amazing is that she isn’t even particularly “ evil “
She genuinely had a reason to be this way. She was treated awfully.
She’s not even like killing anyone or anything, she’s taking away the one thing they all care about and the same thing that caused her grief in the first place.
In a way, her destroying the miracle is her way of getting everyone to her “ level “
For them to no longer have a reason to see her as lesser as none of them have gifts anymore.
I would honestly root for her tbh
Even as a villain.
The house fell on them they died.
@Kizaco They were standing in an open courtyard, and it's not like the door Mirabel left out of is the only potential exit or that she locked it behind her. It's entirely likely that they're just trapped in the courtyard with Casita collapsed around them. Given the tone of the other Encanto villain songs, and that they need to be alive to suffer the consequences, I'd even wager that Mirabel used her control of the candle to insure the house didn't collapse directly on top of them.
You can definitely interpret it as Casita falls everyone dies, but that's not the only vaid interpretation or even necesarily the most likely outcome given the other factors involved.
I feel like 0:37 is an underrated part of the animation because it can both be interpreted as like Bruno seeing the prophesy of Mirabel in the past and being shocked or what i like to imagine..Bruno lurking somewhere in the backround(like he is in the OG song) and watching her actually standing up like this and she sort of puts her hand out..almost as if to say "This isn't your fight anymore" and he's shocked by that(possibly because he knows what it means) because he could never do all this yet he deserves the same justice she does bc let's not kid ourselves..Mirabel remaining a hero throughout is a shocker with what they put her and Bruno through like the saying goes "A child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel it's warmth"
It kinda looks like she puts her arms out like protecting him
I don't think that's him vibin in the background of the original song, if you look at the shape and size of the eyes compared to when we see him later in the story, it just doesn't add up, I think its an alter ego of Mirabel the alter ego plotting against people, thus why it isn't seen here, because it has taken over.
“Finally free from chasing your love” NOW THIS IS HOW YOU DO A MODERN VILLAN SONG. Like it’s dramatic but just the right amount and there isn’t any break for humor. Just pure intimidating energy from someone in pain and done with it all. The people who made this have serious talent
this is amazing!!!
I also love the fact that the artist drew Camilo reaching out for her like he does in the movie 😭
Omg now I’m tewatching AGAIN just do I can see that part 😭🥺
AND THE BUTTERFLIES TAKING A NEW MEANING ITS SO GOOOOD
1:35 - 2:01
Poison rose, you might think no one knows
But I see right through your disguise
I suffered all this heartache, I sacrificed for your sake
As you ruled and you reigned from above
Well now my pain is ending, I'm DONE with this PRETENDING
Finally free from chasing your love
Free from your love!

It's worth listening to the whole song just to hear or watch that climax again
Mirabel literally has a backstory that would inspire any villain. The fact she wasn't evil shows that she's stronger than the rest of her family.
Edit: rip my notifications haha. thank you for the comments. I enjoy seeing other peoples points of views. Try not to fight though please.
exactly being evil would have been the easy way for her but I think her pure maturity and kindness shows how strong she actually is despite being only 15
Her family is pretty strong too, even without gifts. The gifts mean that they’d have to take upon more responsibility at a super young age. The nature of some peoples gifts too, Luisa literally sings about taking on every family burden, for example
She really did have a good set up to possibly be a villain backstory and so did Bruno especially Bruno. After everything that happened I wouldn’t blame either of them for being villains if that’s where the story went
Honestly I thought the same about both her and Bruno, but I get what they did. Still would make an interesting Twisted Tales story.
the whole family its strong tho- they were kinda of village bordline slaves

Heroes are almost always the same too. it's boring. and half the time they're Gary Stus/Mary Sues who just cannot do anything wrong!!! (Miraculous Ladybug for instance) AND ITS SO ANNOYING
@Blurry-jc6mp I stopped watching after fucking season 2 because of how insufferable and creepy Marinette was
Adrien should have been protag 100%
1:25
At this part the voice is just amazing. You can *hear* the spite and hatered she has for her sister in the voice. And it shows that even though she knows about how Isabela is hurting, she doesnt care. She'll let it get worse and worse because of how much hatred she has for her
I really love the line "How's it feel to stain your family name?" because it's totally mocking the fact that the family and Abuela especially are so focused on having this "perfect" image/reputation and Mirabel is taking that all away in a matter of seconds.
AGREE
Is more that anything to the abuela, since she is really the only one who really cares about the family name
I FEEL the perfect family image because everyone in my family is like “you have to perfect” “put your hair up” ITS ALWAYS THE HAIR😭
depressing, personally I prefer to glare at people if they tell me to do something I well don't need to do, I'm not a rebel, I'm a human being with a self-conscious, like everyone else should, we aren't a hive-mind, we are individuals.@@CatalinaYa
@@user-pr6lx1or8t ok🧍♀️
gosh, the whole “Should’ve talked about Bruno” reminds me of old kings refusing to listen to their oracles’ warnings and self-fulfilling prophecies. the writing and animatic are both incredibly well done imo
You lost me at old kings lol
Macbeth be like
**flashback to tarquin and the sibyl**
Well they thought Bruno would lead to their downfall and as it appears that they should have kept him as they pushing him away led to their downfall
literally the plot of tangled the series season one lol
The line " Time to bring this family down, yeah I'm the villain in your fairytale now" hits so hard
2:02
I wish Mirabel had gotten a antihero arc. She should have been able to take the miracle away and shown them what it means to be "Average". I think encanto is a great movie but all of the things that got forgave and forgotten are crazy to me. Her uncle literally lived in the walls for a decade because he felt rejected and heart broken. Like I know Alma's got trauma, but damn girl your own kid feels like a burden to you
Did the rest of the family die?
@@jessicaribeirodesousa7878 Eventually, everyone does
My biggest issue with the movie, is like, Abuela never apologized. Like, how about we normalize older generations apologize to younger generations for being wrong. I’m a bit biased though because my own abuela was amazing and the kindest woman I ever knew. On the other hand, I hardly recall a time in my life where any of my aunts apologized to me when they were in the wrong.
@@satirical579 She did apologize, in the very end song. "And I'm sorry I held on too strong.. so afraid I'd lose you too. The miracle is not, some power that you've got, the miracle is you"
@@anneonomous4910 ehhh, “I’m sorry I held on too strong” ain’t the same as “I’m sorry I mistreated you and made you not feel like you’re part of this family”, but also, I feel like I would need the apology to not be in a song and have its own scene to be more impactful. But that’s just my opinion.
Mirabel grabbing Isabela's vine and turning it to dust gave me chills. The artist did a fantastic job, and your vocals were beautiful as always!
Also the light on Isabela's door going out as well. Nice touches all the way around.
It's poetic on so many levels. The fact she had to grab the vine at all implies she had to act in her own defense: against her family. The candle was all about their bond as a family. The magic dying in that moment was a poetic nail in the coffin. You can't take back attacking someone. Not even your own blood. In an alternate storyline, that alone could have been Mirabelle's plan all along to kill the magic. She just needs someone to wield it directly on her.
I also noticed that after Izabella’s vine turned into dust, her door glow disapeared :)
Seriously I don't like the ending, they let the family off the hook easily
@@ericelestineyorfrylle1525Yeah, the family didn't deserve their powers at all. Not after how they all treated each other, especially Mirabel.
I love how this is not even far off from the movie. Bruno explicitly says that her fate is uncertain. In the movie, we see her taking the "good path", but this was like, the other option.
FR tho, she could EASILY have take this path and still have been 100% justified- I still feel like she forgave everyone WAY to easily tho
That's what makes it so chilling. This just as much could have been the plot of the movie as the actual plot that we got.
The only change that needs to happen is that Mirabel and Bruno aren't as forgiving as they were in the movie.
I wish they could release a second version of encanto that's just her singing this song and crushing the family home and only after that does the family try to make it up to her or something

@@rykerscott127it’s a Disney movie so she was bound to forgive em
This aspect of Mirabel is electrifying. To think that, if it had gone differently, it is therefore if she had been taken by anger because of the psychological abuses suffered, makes the character a great character. Really a nice song!!
Honestly, if all the princess villain songs so far, this one feels the most possible. Mirabel was deeply hurt and mistreated by her family her whole life, made to feel inferior due to her lack of an obvious gift, forced into a place of subservience for her more talented sisters and her oppressive abuela. It really feels like it would not have taken much at all to change the story from what we were shown to something more akin to this. It also fits well with a major rebuke against this film and much of modern Disney princess mythology: That one must stand by one's family above all else. Sorry, but some families are too toxic to be worthy of one's love, and Casa Madrigal certainly fits the bill.
Honestly I love how this version doesn't just dance circles round the issue but rather just goes straight to the throat, especially that all of it is being directly shot at Abuela like bullets. However, she won't let everyone's shortcomings just be pushed over as they hold just as much blame as Abuela. If Disney had did this version, it totally would've sent a much bigger message.
I mean the message of the original was pretty powerful on its own. Alma isn’t a villain in the movie but this is an alternate story
I mean, it would send a bigger message yes... but Disney would never let the villan win
@@IrisWhiskeywould she really be the villain though? She didn't hurt anyone and was removing a toxic aspect of her family. I imagine this story would initiate after her song when her cousin got his gift and they started to treat him like a person, holding him higher than her and never giving her a chance. And then when she'd realize what actually happened with Bruno she would finally decide to destroy the candle instead of saving it.
@@shadesteel9247’d watch that so hard!!! I think it’d fit after the engagement party!
SAME
This one green eye that is seen through Mirabel’s glasses is so creepy, and so is her smile… It’s like straight out of a horror story. I would love to see casita under her rule, that would be one hell of a haunted mansion.
This version of Mirabel CRUMBLED casita
@@davidvaldezjr5546yeah, i saw that. But it would be cool if it got rebuilt into a dark thing under Mirabel’s influence. She technically crumbled it in the original, too (though it wasn’t exactly her fault), and it got rebuilt and had her on the front door, like a potential family leader to replace Abuela when the time comes. So I wondered what could happen to casita if it got rebuilt to serve this Mirabel’s wishes, if the protective magic of love got twisted into something much darker (while technically still being protective, of her and Bruno).
@@user-kv5jk5dg5n now that would be very interesting to see. I can see her as a protective dark queen. with a happy Bruno behind her throne, I could see him getting a little twisted and corrupted like her. lots of potential quick to the fanfiction!!
it would be interesting to see if casita would want to comply or would reluctantly and unwillingly obey her
@@lynxii3234from the theories going on a while back, mirabel's true gift is presumably the casita itself. How it is capable of moving on it's own and its connection to Mirabel's mental and emotional state throughout the movie. Like when it crumbled down when she had a fight with Abuela.
I just love the detail of Camilo reaching out to her as the house was crumbling down, it warms my heart so much, and through out the video he doesn't like say or do anything bad to her, it also represents in the movie when hes chasing her while shes going to the candle. He still loved her during all of it, and that shows that he wanted to help, and that it helps the idea that their like best friends.
1:09 you can tell that he's worried about her. While making sure Antonio is being comforted.
2:23 is the scene I was talking about .
And at 2:22 you can see him looking at her which leads to him reaching out to her
I love the archetype of seeing such a good and sweet character just being pushed over their edge. Cause once they are they dive whole heartedly into the darkness looking for what the light never gave them.
at 2:23 i noticed how camilo reached out to mirabel. they're the same age and were raised together, seeing him look so upset and concerned for her made me choke back a tear. imagine seeing the person you've been with since literal birth go from sweet to a villain and there's nothing you can do to stop it anymore
I was hoping someone would notice that!
I also noticed that and it physically hurt me. I love Camillo so much so to see him like that not only adds to the beauty of this but also adds despair.
@@ezravon3799same 😭 what an underrated character though fr
i experienced this
I want to also point out the fact that she neither digs into him or Felix, the only one who did, in fact, talk about Bruno, despite completely roasting the three other leads of the song (Pepa, Dolores and Isabela) and Abuela
2:17 “I’ll reclaim all that I’ve lost, see you understand what your apathy cost.” goes so unbelievably hard. It’s my favorite line & I’m absolutely obsessed with it

I like how Isabela try’s to attack Mirabel with a vine but when she destroys the vine the light on her door goes away. Does this mean she could remove magical powers?
Could be possible
Ooh, like Touma from A Certain Magical Index, except he negates them while Mira outright deletes them altogether.
See, what I see with this, is while Mirabel is powerless, she does have her own 'power'- figuring out everyone's insecurities and using them against them. Why, it's so easy to eavesdrop and get things out of people themselves when you're outcasted and people don't think you'll tell anyone about things because no one will listen. In ignoring and casting her aside and underestimating her, they gave her so much more power over them than they realized.
"Every sound you heard but your silence was deafening" THAT LINE GAVE ME CHILLS
Me tooo
The line “free from your love” just hits me so hard, it explains the fat that mirabelle feels trapped within her family, and pressured by the love to do anything to earn it. It shows that all through her life she was trapped in their love because she was afraid, she finally breaks from the love when she pays them back for everything they deserved (well abuela atleast)
imagine Disney making a film where the protagonist is the villain? it would be incredible
A small thing that I love is at 2:01.
Mirabel's butterfly imagery has been the symbol of her love for her family, but also her feelings of uselessness and feebleness compared to them.
At this moment, she's finally said 'screw it' and spring-boarded into her revenge plan. And those wings, for a brief second, turn from a symbol of weakness into something else.
The wings behind her aren't butterfly wings.
They're bird wings.
The wings of a predator.
The wings of a harbinger.
See I thought of the butterflies for her being the butterfly effect
OHH YEAHHH
@@themaddoctor1741 Butterflies are also a symbol of transformation and rebirth, - in this case she is spreading her wings for the first time, in the most devastating possible way, and becoming a villain.
But are they wings of a vulture? Or the wings of a Buzzard?
you my friend are a writer
I love the symbolism surrounding Mirabel crushing the yellow butterfly, Since yellow butterflies are used to represent hope in a way it represents her either giving up on being accepted as she is or her hope dying due to the constant rejection.
There's the fact that Mirabel had saw a yellow butterfly back and the river, the one that she and Bruno followed in the vision and what helped Alma to see that Mirabel was "what Pedro sent her to save the miracle" - being the one that taints the miracle instead! The symbolisms on this video are top-notch haha
@@icxflames Sadly Alma failed to see the help until it's too late. The help apparently decided to destroy the Miracle instead. Pedro must be facepalming in heaven. At this point, even this good man would agree with his nieta. And given this song's title, one might wonder if Pedro agreeing to Mirabel's actions and justifications have something to do with the alienation of his only son and decides to put his foot down against his wife.
Or its like shes crushing all the hope for the family,like its to late
@@gzapray7203 obviously he agreed with mirabel, if casita and the candle are manfestations of his love and become the power of the family, mirabel being able to do all this musical and caos needed to need the original power aprovance at least.
mirabel at least it's the favorite of someone, even if it's her dead grampa....
@@editoradoreddit Pedro would be like, "Go get them girl. You have my blessing. Just save yourself and remind them of your worth and who you are."
The details!!!! Mirabel didn't say anything directly to Camilo on his part, and Camilo ran towards her, more worried about her than afraid!
Soo cute!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
God, turning the Bruno villain song into a Mirabel villain song is brilliant. It already has such dark undertones. Mirabel the anti-hero. I think I would love to see this version of the movie.
I absolutely love this Villain Mirabel. Mirabel trying to make herself believe that even without a gift she’s still special like everyone else. But with everyone always turning down on her and making her be like a burden to the family she’s had enough, tired of everyone after all she’s done for them. Mirabel returns to the dark side and giving her family a taste of their own medicine, giving them what they deserve. Tired of all this suffering she had to go through, finally getting what she deserves, finally getting the revenge on her family. She blows out the candle and the house collapses with everyone in it. Now all the family is suffering and in a lot of danger and freaking out. Mirabel exits the house with a villainous smile. Getting the revenge shes been waiting for. I love these villain songs, keep up the good work.😉😉😉😉😉
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
@@carliac52AWWWW TYSM❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly, Mirabel would make a good villain. Probably the only people who never treated her differently were her parents, they still loved her
The scene where she's holding the candle and calmly watching the family visibly panicking while the house's debris falling down around her gives me chills.
@@luckystarz5895 No one, not even her parents and youngest cousin, not even Bruno and his rats....were safe
I love how Villain Mirabel makes SO much sense. The gifts returning was all dependant on Mirabel. If not for Mirabel, the magic, everyone's gifts, wouldn't have returned. Therefore, if she decided her family didn't deserve to have such gifts, then the magic wouldn't have returned, cause without her passion, her determination, her natural creative personality, there is no magic of any kind.
she s quite litterally the glue that held the family together
@@dreamergamer9291 Exactly!
@@lunar_nocturne1868 also what i just realised is that her view and abuela are polar opposites
what abuela sees in a family memeber is only their strenghts and dismisses their flaws becasue she wants "perfection"
what mirabel sees is the real person she looks past their facade and into who they really are and how they feel like how luisa opened up to her about the pressure she feels
@@dreamergamer9291 Right! Mirabel saw her family as who they are, not their gifts. All she ever wanted for them was to be themselves. Not their gift. And Abuela held on to the gifts too much, that she stopped seeing the person, and could only see the gift.
I think the most haunting thing about this is Antonio crying right at the end. Without an innocent child for her to focus her kindness on, this villain story is very possible. the entire song is a string of reprises & i love it.
I really love the line "yeah, I'm the villain in your fairytale now!" near the end, since it calls to the perfection and expectation of it within the family. It's a way for Mirabel to say she's embracing the role her family has pushed upon her, and the following verse really hammers in the reason she's done that!
The fact that she left most of her family out of it is astounding. She only truly attacked four people, her aunt that would literally blow up on people, her cousin who would never speak up about the things she heard, abuala who started the hate against anyone "not perfect," and her golden sister who seems to have always hated her.
And then during the song her sis pretty much conferms what she was saying when she goes for the vine killshot.
I should also mention that even though Casita is crumbling around her due to her snapping I think Casita is still on her side as evidence by her being able to waltz right out of the house and the fact that her sister's power turned off at the perfect moment even though the candle was still lite
I imagine the song in the link happening right before this one, mostly because of the "but I heard a different take" line
ruclips.net/video/p7h5uM_9nXs/видео.html
@@connormcconnell7805 Imagine these words being the last words that Bruno spoke. Those words were not trying to stop Bruno from doing something, but it was as he was reaching out to the light. Turning this song into Bruno's Requiem.
His voice shuddering, calling out to not be forgotten as it 'all fades to black.'
Mirabel's lines feel so much more impactful hearing them come from a girl who's trying to hold onto her last string of love as the person who was treated just as bad-if not worse-than she.
As this song goes quiet, the light from his eyes fade... and Mirabel's kindness fades with it.
i feel like abuela should be the only one she's mad at all together cause abuela is the reason the others are acting like that it's all abuelas fault
@@ChrissaTodd while true those were the worst actors aside from abuela

The imagery at 2:01 is honestly heartbreaking. The little Mirabel sobbing and the grown woman who has finally had enough of trying to do absolutely anything to win approval from her family. Simply heart wrenching and beautiful. Well done.

She is treated like an adult by the narrative.
My favorite part is the last two lines. "Its your end of days and yet you all still say, we don't talk about Bruno."
Cause that is what happens in the movie. Cracks form and discord between the family erupts yet they all refuse to talk about Bruno (or in other words, the actual problem within their family).
Alright, I have now watched every one of your alternate reality villain songs, and this one is by far the best. The wordplay. The animations. The subject she's singing about. It's so believable, and she makes such an amazing villain here. It's amazing. Well done, Lydia, and everyone who worked on this project. Very well done.
I know everyone talking about how much the Madrigals deserve it but that shot of Antonio clutching his parents and weeping punched me in the stomach. Poor kid had his gift for like two days and lost it, his home, and his cousin. He looks terrified
I wondering who was in the last scene. Thank you
While for the younger ones it would be unfair for the adults its pretty understandable. The entire family except Her mom, the husbands and the strong sister(i cant remember any of their names) are painted as massive assholes and the ones who arent are complicit by apathy. The entire movie is just of a family being dicks to each other.
I noticed it from the very beginning
@@BOYVIRGO666Their not painted as massive assholes. Their painted as deeply flawed due to generational trauma and the expectations placed on them.
@@astralaurora4165 Iv had this conversation with numerous people and the generational trauma thing doesnt work since most of the problems they have are not generationally based. They are entirely around their distrust and mistreatment of one person. Bruno. This is covered specifically in 'We don talk about bruno' and his later description of his perspective of those events. Anything he said regardless of context was taken as him reading the future so everyone started acting like he was fucking with them on purpose. This is not generational trauma. This is interpersonal relationships failing because everyone else treated 1 person like shit despite knowing how his powers worked.
The generational trauma bit falls apart more when you look at the family members who are notably not assholes. The muscle sister(again cant remember her name but she was pretty good) is treated objectively like a pack mule, in fact its alluded to in her song. Her treatment is not generational trauma, her treatement is a very common latin family trope of one member of the family taking on the brunt of work and burden. My grandmother in my family would be this person and yeah its super common. Mirabels mother just seems detached from the entire thing and clearly has no intention of telling her family to chill the fuck out and how the hell is that generational trauma? That is her allowing bad behavior in ways that are very common to alot of families, avoiding conflict in favor of general comfort.
The Grandmother treats mirabel like crap out of long term fear of a vision of the future that she does nothing to do anything about and a very obvious disdain for her not being 'part of the family' when it comes to said powers. I mean the childrens room thing alone would be considered deeply disrespectful to basically anyone. This completely ignores her complete lack of defense of her Son Bruno who she apparently loves very much but not enough to do anything about it when everyone treats him like shit.
When this movie came out everyone called it an example of generational trauma being the villain but thats not how the actual story plays out. No one seems to have any functional fear or damage done by the revolution before them other than a fear of the outside world which is only lightly touched on, instead the entire central premise of the movie is around how much they distrust each other and treat each other like dicks. Again Turning Red(a much better movie) has actual generational trauma in it, expressing how the central problem of the movie functions in the characters lives and how it shaped their family.
Now as a breakdown of how the more unpleasant ways that mexican/latin in general families can treat each other its pretty on point. I have family members who act like these people.
The idea of Mirabel growing tired of being neglected made the perfect villain ark and the fact that Bruno’s vision actually came true and Mirabel was the cause for Casita falling was perfect
His prophecy was still true in the original version, the Casita (and therefore the family as they knew it) was destroyed by Mirabel and her rift with the family, the difference being that in the movie they rebuilt the Casita and the family to be something better than it was.
@@garbagemancer8592 I think the prophecy in the original was not that she would destroy the family, but rather that the fate of the family depends on her, whether it would be good or bad, since the prophecy in the original has two sides depending on how you look at it
@@mort5566literally…
This is the side where she destroyed casita
yeah this song makes the most sense as she clearly is angry from the neglect she got
[Intro]
We don't talk about Bruno, no-no-no
We don't talk about Bruno
But
[Verse 1]
You made him walk away
He left himself, or so you say
But I've heard another take
You hide in your storm and close off from the rain
But don't see the damage in your wake
From Bruno, then you turn on me
You whisper as if I don't see
The fear, the dread, of what I'll be
[Chorus]
But we don't talk about Bruno, no-no-no
We don't talk about Bruno
[Verse 2]
Every sound you heard but your silence was deafening
Each decibel dismissible to save yourself from meddling
Or maybe you're to scared to make a sound at all?
(She'll be a danger to us all)
Don't stand and rock the boat or you'll risk going overboard
Let the others drown 'fore you reach to pull them back ashore
Well, now the boats sinking and everyone's going down!
[Verse 3]
A constant sign of all that you lack
She's a curse, she's to blame
So quick, turn your back
Well, I'm done playing nice
So maybe think twice when you
[Chorus]
Don't talk about Bruno no-no-no
We don't talk about Bruno
[Verse 4]
Flowers bloom when you walk in a room
But I see all the thorns that you hide
Poison rose, you might think no one knows
But I see right through your disguise
I suffered all this heartache
I sacrificed for your sake
As you ruled and reigned from above
Well, now my pain is ending
I'm done with this pretending
Finally free from chasing your love
(We don't talk about, don't talk)
Free from your love
[Verse 5]
Time to bring this family down
Yeah, I'm the villain in your fairytale now
The sands' run out and there's just you to blame
How's it feel to stain your family name?
I'll reclaim all that I've lost
See you understand what your apathy cost
It's your end of days, and I'll still hear you say
[Chorus]
We don't talk about Bruno, no-no-no
Should've talked about Bruno
THANK YOU, The video lyrics went too fast to try to read but this is amazing❤
Yk, I think verses 4 and 5 are the bridge, but thanks
I really love how Mirabel is the only one in the family who stands up for her uncle who was pushed aside because others only saw the worst in him. Mirabel saw him for who he really was and accepted him all the same. This song is really perfect in reflecting both of their sorrows.
I love the line “but I see all the thorns you hide” meaning Mirabel gained some sort of an understanding of Isabela somehow in this au, yet she doesn’t show much sympathy.
It parallels the canon ending where Isabela admits to not wanting to marry Mariano but Mirabel only cares about hugging her to fix the candle.
Obviously, in canon Mirabel and Isabela find a mutual understanding of each other, especially with the timeskip at the end, but in the au Mirabel and Isabela remain at odds with each other, even after understanding each others perspectives.
i also interpreted this as a deeper look at canon isabela, specifically in the moments where she scolds mirabel. in chasing her own perfection, isabela also pushes others to uphold her standard. so unlike luisa, who protects her sisters by shouldering all the weight, isabela reinforces the pressure that mirabel already feels to "be better", without actually helping her improve.
I read this cover as "if Mirabel had more self-esteem"
maybe to the point of being a bit self centered, but even that's arguable. just not pushing aside the harm her family has done to her. even with Isa, this is just her saying "you don't even want him, but still, you would prefer to trap yourself into a loveless marriage to preserve the family name. the family name that's done so much harm to my own. how dare you? how DARE you??"
I never liked Isabella, I mean sure she struggled as the eldest and pretend to be perfect but why does she need to humiliate Mirabel always? She always talked in her face like she's useless and pretend that she's nothing.
@@ericelestineyorfrylle1525 I think it's because she had developed unhealthy perfectionism for herself (under pressure from Abuela and the community), and now projected the same perfectionism on others, and yet Mirabel (from her point of view) kept acting clumsy and causing trouble when she tried too hard to be useful and noticed. Which, in a high stress situation, leads her to lose patience at her little sister.
Of course, we know that what happened with Mirabel was more complex than that, but from Isabela's POV (who only sees a small part of Mirabel's actions) it looked that way.
@@shiningdalek7185 But until the end she didn't apologized to her like she didn't do what their grandma did
The fact that this entire song is about the pain she suffered from her family, and her anger towards her family for treating Bruno the way they did, just shows how much she cares about her Uncle. She was mad at them FOR Bruno.
I love how much Mirabel worries and cares for her Uncle, cause we all know someone had to care about Bruno when no one else would.
And Antonio as well. I didn't see him anywhere, maybe she kept him safe to not suffer along with the rest of family.

this EASILY could have been an actual scene! I love it. this movie had me SOBBING Mirabel deserves better/and or to have a villain ark
I love how in this Mirabel's gift is taking away the gifts of her family. Her gift has always been to prove what the miracle was always about. Now that she's snapped and they don't value her OR the gifts they've been given, why should they get to keep them?
This scene 0:42-0:46 hit me SO HARD. Her suddenly soft voice in combination with the bright yellow butterfly she crushes in front of a dark background, the movement of her hand, her eyes turning green and shining in the dark... This transformation was just PERFECT omg 💚💚💚
yes
honestly i really adore the idea of mirabel’s gift being that she can completely negate the gifts of everyone else, kinda like she’s the anti-gift. like it could’ve been such a cool direction that if you aren’t blessed with a gift, casita gives you a curse, which could raise the question of what determines a gift versus a curse and whether it’s really the gifted who’re cursed and the cursed who truly help
I need to see this now ❤❤
Why do I SEVERELY want to make a fanfic of this now
Honestly this one works the best out of all the villains songs you've done because this was something the movie itself set up. The other villain songs you've changed certain character interactions to make the villain path fit, but with this you didn't have to change anything other than the choice mirabel made.
It was always going to be up to mirabel whether the miracle was saved or not and in the movie she chose to be the better person when really the family should've been the ones that had to step up, not just that "everything is fine now" song they did to wrap the movie up in a happy ending. Mirabel hearing what drove bruno away and finally snapping is something that could've actually happened if this hadn't been a disney movie.
"I'm the villain in your fairytale now" is such a good line, cause she's a villain to them now, but she's only a villain to them, it's pretty accurate to how to scapegoat is seen when they finally tell their abusive family to go f#ck themselves.
I wish Mirabel had became a villain and her family was really harsh too her, and everybody else blames and hates her (except Antonio and Camilo)
YES THIS IS IT!!!!! This is literally what A LOT of people imagined happening with Mirabel watching Encanto for the very first time. Her backstory, her initial family treatment and repressed feelings and emotions were ALL the perfect recipe for a villain, however since she is a Disney Main character they couldn't let her be one even though she had every reason to be one, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS VISION TO LIFE!!!!
I truly do think Disney should let the sweet main character be the villain we root for.
My fiance and I were so hoping Mirabel would lash out like this. None of them except her parents, Felix Antonio and Luisa deserved kindness
@@Rainbow_Butterfly I'd have to disagree with Julieta, Augustine, Felix, and Luisa.
Julieta and Augustine are Mirabel's parents, if anyone should be supporting her, it should be them, but what do they actually do in the movie, they sit there and worry. They don't really do much else, even during the family photo in Antonio's room, they don't say "Mirabel, come join us" or anything. They take the picture without her, and don't even mention her name, just letting her sulk off away from everyone else. It isn't until it's too late that they both try and defend Mirabel from Abuella.
Felix is just as guilty as Pepa, due to encouraging her to just calm herself down instead of actually dealing with the problem. He's no less guilty than she is with her ignorance, and in fact, encourages it. When the original "We Don't Talk About Bruno", Felix stands by as she talks poorly about her own brother. He does nothing to try and give an actual reason, but instead lets her out of control emotions take of her.
Luisa is just as guilty as Isabella is, for the same reason. Luisa is putting herself in so much pressure to help maintain the family name, just as Isabella does. So, for the same reasons, Luisa neglects Mirabel. That doesn't mean she's rude to Mirabel, like Isabella, but the point remains, think of it from Mirabel's perspective, Isabella treats her horridly and ignores her needs. Luisa ignores her need for compassion entirely, so why shouldn't Luisa be the same?
However, Antonio could also be placed into Mirabel's circle of hate. When he got his gift, it could have felt like a betrayal, or being cut off from a good friend. It could also be a hint of jealousy, but otherwise, Antonio is on her good side, even going to help her when the rest of the family is convinced she needs to be stopped.
They should make a what if movie with this alternatived and this song and back story I would pay to watch it
I could see a movie where this is the climax and the rest of the movie is her redemption arc. Possibly by Bruno's hands.
@@shadowscribe That would be amazing honestly

Because Casita is the friend of Mirabel. It wouldn’t hurt the only person, who realised the family problems
The lyrics in this are absolutely phenomenal, especially at 0:48. Every syllable hits exactly like the original song but with a completely different meaning. The fact that it's so perfect means that this channel is on par with a Grammy and Tony award winning lyricist. That's incredible
I love how everyone is either looking scared or angry at Mirabel, but Lisa and her parents just look worried for her. That is actually heart breaking because to me that shows that Mirabel wasn't all wrong about her family, and that they still care. Damn, amazing work Lydia

This entire song is SO GOOD. These lines go HARD.
For those who didn’t catch it, at the end mirabele was standing in front of the vison Bruno had of her. This was when he told her he didn’t know if she was good or bad. While she was good in the movie this is basically what could’ve happened if she wasn’t. Bravo to the creator!
Edit: Mom I’m famous?! 😂❤
I didn't notice that at first.
Idk. I love what happened in the movie like the black sheep/scapegoat of the family breaking the generational trauma.
But I would love to see this too❤
I think Bruno meant the vision could have a good or bad ending not that Mirabel would become bad. I think he was saying Mirabel could do everything she could to prevent the bad ending but it could still happen. I don’t think Bruno said she could be good or bad.
I love this. It’s the epitome, of the saying, “A child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”
the child who doesn't get the warmth of the village will burn it to feel it
Honestly, Mirabel deserved to have a villain song. Like it really took losing their gifts to realize she was just a special and so was Bruno. Like I love this
I haven't seen Encanto but I feel like this song is better than the actual movie. I thought this was a real song in the movie until I looked it up. Well done!
“Well now my pain is ending, I’m done with this pretending, finally free from chasing your love” HITS HARD AND HITS HOME
Honestly the entire isabella part from 1:25 - 2:02 just resonates with me in ways it shouldn’t,,,,
I love the detail at 1:16 where Dolores still has her hands covering her ears, as if she remains terrified of the truth even after her verse was turned against her
I like the concept of villains pointing out the flaws of heroes. It makes them sound more noble plus it proves the hero and villain are not entirely different
I like that concept too
"FREE FROM YOUR LOVE!"
damn on my opinion thats the best part😭
Definitely felt that. How easily Mirabel could have turned villain. Her story is pretty much every villain origin in Sofia the First and Tangled, the overlooked sibling, the black sheep of the family. Her family is lucky that her love for them was stronger than her feelings of betrayal and being ostracized.
I love the message about apathy - it’s not just that they caused her and Bruno’s suffering, but that they ignored it. I especially loved the lyrics about Dolores’s silence.
Once again dolores's scene is the best
me too! i was so pissed at dolores when she said “i knew he didnt leave, i heard him everyday” in the movie. like, why was that was the only thing she could stay quiet about? she immediately started blabbering when mirabel had an issue 🤨
@@madsd5822RIGHT?? she was so quick to call out mirabel when she heard him everyday??
Probably because she did think Bruno was in trouble. She thought she was protecting him the same way she she blabbed about Mirabel because she thought she was in trouble
@@akmi1931 but neither of those things actually ended up helping. bruno wouldn’t have been stuck in the walls for like 10 years if she would’ve spoken up (which wouldnt have made for a very good movie to be fair, but it just annoys me that she doesn’t speak up unless its to tattle on mirabel, even though she knew mirabel did NOT wanna tell anyone).
I think that Casita would actually be on Mirabel's side in this situation. The thing is, she does seem to have some kind of 'gift', which is the fact that she talks to Casita the most and seems to have more control over it compared to the other family members. Basically, this means that Casita would probably be her weapon.
It would had certainly been interesting if there was a more in your face conflict, like isabella attacking Mirabel with one of her plants, then Mirabel, in anger, would stop her foot down and casita would just knock isabella down and everyone finally acknowledges that Mirabel's gift is the relationship with casita, and as such her "room" is all of casita.
There is still a possibility that everyone can do it but just offscreen
Isn't the thing that Mirabel is gonna take Abelua's place one day as matriarch and caretaker of Casita? Like her gift isn't showy like everyone else's but secretly the most important one of all
honestly if that was the case, the story would be fun to write out. I can see them having to evacuate, or be forces out of casita and have to retraverse their home for them come up to talk, most likely Abuelita, with miribel about all these issues. But they find their home has become a shifting maze makeing the family have to see all the cracks of their family and work to mend them to proseed. And in the center is Mirabel trying to work out all of these feelings with Bruno.
The mom and dad was on hee side the whole movie
“I’m the villain in your fairytale now” really shows how aware she is of the harm she’s causing everyone and how it looks to them, and it seems she’s feeling absolutely no remorse. She also really sees how much everyone lives like they’re in some sort of fairytale (which they are but they don’t know this) because of their gifts, and Mirabel had to see the world from a different perspective because of her neglect and the fact that she didn’t really have a gift. This whole song gave me chills and it’s just amazing. I can even imagine this animated by Disney if this were to be what happened. Would be like a cool short for them to do if they ever saw this.
The irony of the situation they have walls to protect them from outside threats they don't know there are threat inside the wall and no gates to go out
This...kind of describes me
@@SarahMx260 I'm here for your villian arc my dude
MAKE MORE MASTERPIECES LIKE THESEEE
Stuck thinking about just how ethereal Mirabel’s hair looks because of the movement lines and volume. Love it. Immediately sets her up to look less approachable and more powerful.
I love how she metaphorically blew out a candle that never goes out. She called out everyone’s poker face, and left them to deal with their problems. It’s cruel, but that’s what villains are.
Love that Isabella tried to kill her.
She was raised to look down on her sister and in the end it made it easier for her to come to that decision than the others
Wow, dark much? 😳
"boy I love attempted familiar murder" -you basically
@Alistairs_CreativeProjects only when the lore makes it interesting
I miss Medieval times~~~
@@kikosquirrel4967is that a bad thing?
Correction she tried to get the candle back
THE DELORES PART WAS AN ENTIRE DISS TRACK AND I LOVE IT.
LMAO
You know, this would have made a MUCH more interesting, and powerful story. Keep the whole idea of the family being pillars of the community and how they act towards eachother, but Make Mirabel reach a breaking point. Make her and Bruno TURN on the family, taking their powers away and forcing them to face what they've caused, only for Mirabel and Bruno to turn and help them, showing the family the proper way to be a family.
2:21 I love how Camillo is still trying to save Mirabell it shows that he truly cares about his cousin even though her own sister tried to kill her and everyone thinks bad of her
Yeah, i feel bad for him
i really love this moment. apparently camilo is barely older than mirabel and they used to be super close, so it makes sense that he would try to help her despite her anger
Literally!!! He and Antonio love thier cousin, and Mirabel doesn't say a bad thing about Luisa either probably because even like this she can't bring herself to hate them
I really like that you drew her crushing a butterfly.
In the movie, the butterfly represents hope for the Madrigal family and a chance for them to find happiness and truly accept their gifts. In short, the butterfly represents a brighter future for everyone.
We even see this in the end: Pepa doesn’t try to control her emotions but dances in the rain. Louisa finds she doesn’t need to take on every single burden, she can relax and occasionally ask for help, Isabella doesn’t need to be perfect or make beautiful flowers, she can experiment with different plant species, Bruno is no longer an outcast in his own family.
Mirabelle crushing the butterfly symbolizes her throwing away that brighter future for the Madrigals, she’s destroying Casita and stripping everyone of their gifts, in a sense, she’s freeing them, but it’s a cruel freedom because Pepa still bottles up her emotions, Louisa still feels like she has to take on every burden, Isabella still feels like she needs to be perfect for the family, now more than ever, Camillo feels like no one would want him for himself, Bruno’s still an outsider, Alma’s mental health is going to be worse, possibly even self destructive because she sees how much pain she’s put her family through, but can’t see any way to fix things, and Julieta and Augustine, well, I don’t think their futures are bright either, and poor Antonio’s going to have to grow up with of this pain and despair, I don’t think he’ll even have a future because remember, he’s a child, he might try to look for his cousin and get lost or even killed, further plunging the family into despair.
why th are u writing a whole essay on Mirabel crushing a butterfly?
@@matthewc2207Because that’s what most people do with these songs and I think it’s really cool
I think the green wings Mirabel has towards the end help hold this up. They definitely butterfly wings, but they aren't the same shape or color. It is hope, but not the one they wanted.
It’s more kinda like illness, poison, maybe ill intent characterized in those wings
@@irefusetochangemyname1275 They do, but it is so unnecessary. Why do u need to write a whole English assignment on a few frames of a cartoon character crushing a butterfly
At “the fear the dread of what I’ll be” you can hear a whisper of “welcome to the family” and I am curious what that means
I didn’t notice this until after I saw this comment ngl-
I heard it as “we’re a broken family”.
"Well now my pain is ending i'm done with this pretending finally free from chasing your love, free from your love!" That line hits hard😭-
I can NOT get over the simple line "Free from your love"
There's so much emotion, so much anger, so much pain, and so much catharsis all mixed up into one explosion of a cry.
She's done chasing the love and approval of her family, of her grandmother. She's done chasing standards, and is free to finally be herself.
Yep
As a man who chased the approval of a man I could never earn from, it feels refreshing to stop chasing their approval.
@twister107 I wish I could do that with my own mother, despite her disabilities
1:08 when it goes “she’s a curse, she’s to blame” it gave me chills, favorite part of the song
Omg same! I belt out that part every time, it makes my ears so happy 😂
@@Sasuhinagirl1 ikr!!! It’s just amazing
Antonio crying at the end really hits...
OMG what a powerful line: "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth". This made me feel ALL the emotions. The key message of this movie will always stay with me, people do not need to be special to deserve love and security. I just discovered your channel and this villain perspective that you're taking on songs is so brilliant!
