    Interesting note: the candle didn't flicker when Mirabel's door disappeared...it flickered when Abuela's reaction was to recoil from Mirabel because her door disappeared. The miracle always intended Mirabel to not have powers and to become the next leader of the family. It was Abuela's wavering love for a part of her family that broke the miracle.

    I think one of my favorite subtle things is how Abuela tells an age appropriate version of her story to young Mirabel and then the actual hard truth story when she is older. Such a parental thing to do

      It's also pretty likely (as someone else mentioned) that Alma was working very hard to not face that memory and gloss over that traumatic event as fast as she could in order to keep going and not break down. Everyone felt pressured to be perfect, or strong, or calm, including Alma, who needed to stay the strong one who took care of everything. She placed those expectations on her family, not even consciously, and also on herself.
      Her trauma means she needs to be safe, the encanto needs to be safe, so her children have gifts that ensure that; injured people can be healed, the weather can be changed to suit the needs to the crops, so no hunger, and the visions of the future mean that they will always know if someone is coming for them. The grandchildren to a lesser extent, but still all their gifts are good for defense, food, or warnings.
      It makes sense that Alma would put so much pressure on herself and her family to keep everything together at all times, that's her trauma speaking.

She felt too much and had too much pressure and wanted to avoid death and suffering. Her methods were not right, and the trauma she dumped on her children is hard to heal but it is not narcissism...

    Lin-Manuel has also said that “Surface Pressure” is a tribute/apology to his own older sister whom he admits had a lot more responsibilities growing up than he did.

    Luisa's song "Surface Pressure" finally gave me a way to adequately tell my parents how I was feeling. Things have gotten exponentially better since, and they never just assume I'm fine with everything anymore and always remind me that I have the guilt-free ability to say "no" to things with them and that it's okay for me to do so.
    (Edited to add I want to make it clear that my parents weren't the ones who put the pressure on me; I did it to myself. I volunteered to take on a lot of "the load", and as time went on my parents would add to it whenever they needed help with something because they thought I was fine. They wouldn't have if they knew I was beginning to struggle. They're wonderful, which is why I take on so much to help them now that they're elderly. I've just had to learn to keep everything balanced so I don't overload myself anymore.)

    Subtle things I like about this movie: Dolores is considered a huge gossip, but she only ever gossips if the person knows she knows and/or if Abeula (and as her inheritor Maribel) asks. She must know literally everything about everyone in that town, but by gossiping 100% of the time when people know she heard something she deflects attention from the other 99% of things she likely knows. I think she does it on purpose after seeing how Bruno was treated.

    Someone mentioned that Mirabel might have influenced the house to give Antonio his gift because of his love for animals. If you take that as true (and it's the first gift after hers not being given) it strongly implies that Abuela chose the gifts , even unconsciously, up until that point...regardless of what that person may have wanted; making them almost a curse.
    Good on the surface for a widow struggling, right? Ensure good weather, heal those physically injured, see future threats...2 of the 3 of those took a toll (maybe even all three, Julieta always looks exhausted). Followed by super strength to get the work done, super hearing (definitely a curse!) to ensure she knows everything being said, growing things...which, earlier might have been crops, but is "discounted" to flowers to "keep up appearances", and then finally, Camilo, the shapeshifter, the one who's identity is always in flux, always being told to be someone else instead of himself. All helpful, but completely ignoring the actual "person" who carried them, and their needs.
    Movie has so many layers!

    When they meet at the river and talk, Alma tells Mirabel the entire story, and we see memories that are far more detailed and honest, Alma has been avoiding those painful memories by glossing over them and focusing on the candle and feeling as if the family needs to earn their blessings, so they aren't taken away.

    The house only listens to Abuela and Mirabel...the only two without powers.
    Mirabel was always meant to take Abuela's place at the head of the family one day, to be the new source of the magic.
    And aside from one instance (at breakfast when she's bugging Luisa and then Abuela tells Casita to swap the chairs around), the house pretty clearly shows preference for Mirabel between the two of them. When the candle was burning away, Mirabel ordered it to create a path for her to the candle. And in the same instant Casita outright expelled the entire rest of the family over their explicit objections, even Abuela.
    The house did exactly what Mirabel wanted, and flat-out ignored the will of everyone else, albeit for their own protection. But it could've done the same for Mirabel...expelled her from the crumbling house to save her. Odds are that Casita knew the candle was going to burn out, and that saving it was pointless. Instead it made the path and helped her retrieve the candle, and then called up a pile of furniture to protect her from the collapse.

    One of the things I really appreciate about this flick is that we see the story of the miracle twice. It bookends our story. The first time we see it through the eyes of a child - the young Mirabel. Then we see it through the eyes of a young adult - the older Mirabel. But the story is very different. Not because the facts change. But because an older Mirabel realizes something about that story that the child didn't. Instead of a story about magic... the older Mirabel understands that the story is also about loss. The second telling shows a young woman in anguish as she watches her husband murdered in front of her. A story about a young woman pressing on in a world full of danger that could destroy her children and her family just as it cut down her beloved.
    This isn't a Disney tale of Good vs. Evil - heroins facing down scenery chewing villains. There is no villain; no baddie. There is just fear and pain and the cycle of pain that can cause if not recognized and stopped. Which is... ultimately... the evil that lurks around us all.

She's afraid and doing everything she can to keep everyone safe, which to her means keeping the miracle going.

    During "We don't talk about Bruno.". You can see Bruno in the background while Mirabel and Dolores sang.
    I believe that Mirabel didn't get an active power like everyone else because she will be " the new Abuela." She can tell when something is up with her family members. And help them deal with it. She is a great conduit for Casita and even the townspeople. And while others got doors/bedrooms corresponding to their power. She made the front door. The entrance to the house.

No tv when it's late and a school night? It's a confrontation with their privilege, the privilege of not having serious, adult actual problems like being a widowed single mom.

When my mom sent me the trailer for this movie I said to her "Finally! A movie about Colombia that isn't about Pablo Escobar." That afternoon I happened to be near a Colombian bakery and popped in to buy some snacks. When I was paying I said to the lady, in Spanish "Did you hear about the next Disney movie, 18:59 Encanto?".

    Also another fun fact for you- all the songs in the movie are in 1/4 time, except for Mirables solo "Waiting on a Miracle" which is in 1/3 time, which just further sets her apart from the rest of the family.
    One of my favorite bits is in Luisa's song, when the ship is sailing towards the iceberg. She basically says that people don't even bother to do anything to protect themselves, and just sail straight at the danger looming ahead, because they know she can just take care of it for them, so why should they even worry about it? It would take so little effort to just change course a little bit and handle it themselves, but nah, Luisa's here, she'll protect us!

    Steph now has a daughter with her husband, but the crazy thing is that she was in labor when she was recording her solo song Waiting On A Miracle.
    If you wanna see more of her work, she currently stars in a Peacock show called Twisted Metal alongside Anthony Mackie. She also lends her voice in the Amazon Prime Video animated musical series Hazbin Hotel.

The main theory that holds is that she is meant to be the next leader/matriarch of the family: Abuela also never had a gift but had a more central connection to Casita, just like Mirabel, and then the final door has her at the center of the family, signifying her importance of keeping the family and gift alive like Abuela has.

The first time her faith was shaken was when the door disappeared and the candle flickered for the first time. As Antonio's moment gets closer, her doubts crept in and Mirabel was her reminder / trigger. In the end Mirable didn't get a room because the house was going to be hers next just like it was Abuela's. :)

    The cherry on the sundae, though, was when I posted on Jared Bush's Twitter that I was so grateful for this movie for keeping me from giving up writing. His response? Telling me that he'd never met a writer who had never thought of giving up at least once in their lives. He responded to me as one writer to another and I can't tell you how much I needed to hear that.

    Easily one of my favorite movies. The moment where they see the whole town coming to help, and Antonio's awe at seeing them all, it was so good I almost cried the first time I saw it.

    Email announces Ashleigh has reacted to Encanto:
    Me: Oh she is going to bawl
    My Wife: Yup
    Ashleigh: Is this going to make me cry?
    My wife and I, In unison: YES!
    (In the best way possible.)

    Just love that during her whole song Louisa was being a good big sister and protecting her little sister wish my older brother was like that but he is more like the older sister, I think Mirabel did get a gift she is more connected to the house and gift to help prepare her for taking over after the grandma passes.

    I feel like the reason Isabella has such perfect hair is because she has plant based hair products and can control how her looks.

    Surface Pressure is just too real. It gets me every time. Love this movie, as Latino, I felt pretty well represented as well.
