9 The Movie Includes At Least Three Hidden Mickeys Any Disney fan knows hidden Mickeys are one of Disney's most traditional Easter eggs. It's common to find shapes emulating Mickey Mouse's head and ears in all Disney movies. Encanto includes at least three hidden Mickeys.
In Disney's Encanto, Easter eggs are plentiful as they were found in scenes, songs, and even fashion choices. Disney is known for the Easter eggs they include in their movies, and Encanto was no different.
Camilo from Encanto shares a subtle line with demi-god Maui from Moana. But while the reference is easy to miss, it's more meaningful than it seems. Disney's latest animated feature, Encanto, features a nod to Moana that's even better than merely a fun Easter egg.
The movie, as colorful and humorous as it is, covers intergenerational trauma, a prominent issue today. Intergenerational trauma is passed down by generations when a traumatic event affects multiple family members, or a culture, according to the American Psychological Association.
According to one article (via Inside the Magic) however, the name's use in both films was purely coincidental. While the creators of Encanto chose the name Bruno for stylistic purposes, Luca's writers picked the name at random.
Bruno has a few Autistic traits. In the movie, he developed the form of ritual based off of a combination of superstition and possibly sensory stimming. He would “knock knock knock on wood” all around him which is a way of asking for protection in many cultures from certain spirits.
it is CANON that Luca takes place late 1950s early 1960s, and Encanto takes place IN THE EXACT SAME TIMEFRAME. so it is MORE THAN POSSIBLE that Bruno is the SAME Bruno in BOTH movies.
Disney's Encanto, which tells the story of the magical Madrigals, doesn't have a bad guy, but one theory speculates that Dolores was the secret villain all along. Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz) is the only Madrigal family member in Encanto who doesn't get a magical gift.
Mirabel's lack of a magical gift in Encanto doesn't define her worth or importance. She becomes the gift herself by bringing her family together and restoring Casita's magic. While there are theories about Mirabel's hidden gift, the movie emphasizes that her intelligence and problem-solving abilities are her true gift.
Does Mirabel get a gift by the end of Encanto, however? The ending reveals Mirabel's true gift: the miracle itself. She keeps her family's gifts alive and helps them flourish despite not having tangible powers.
Pepa Madrigal is a supporting character in Disney's 2021 film Encanto. She is the second daughter and child of Alma Madrigal and the late Pedro Madrigal, the middle triplet sister of Julieta and Bruno Madrigal, the wife of Félix Madrigal as well as the mother of Dolores, Camilo and Antonio Madrigal.
As pack animals notorious for their ability to carry heavy loads, the donkeys which Luisa lifts represent the intense burdens placed upon her as the "strong one" of the family. While Luisa's secret room is never revealed, the donkeys and her endless heavy lifting demonstrate the constant demands placed upon her.
When Moana sets off into the ocean to find Maui, she packs a handful of things in her basket, and if you look close enough, you can spot Olaf's arm and nose among the pile.
Indeed, the reason why Mirabel doesn't get a gift in Encanto is that she already had the brains to take over as the family leader after Abuela Alma. Therefore, the miracle didn't need to give her an additional gift — Mirabel's gift in Encanto is her intellect, which she already possessed before the movie even began.
Frontdoor was always supposed to be Mirabel's door. Nobody can have two doors so the door just dissapeared until the moment were she could get her door. Mirabel did not get door because she is supposed to be next Abuela (matriarch and miracle's keeper).
While the release date for Encanto 2 is uncertain, if officially announced, fans can expect a release date of at least 2025 due to production demands. The cast is likely to feature returning voice actors from the first film, including Stephanie Beatriz and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Like Mirabel, Abuela lacks a tangible magical ability like super hearing or seeing the future, but rather acts as the glue that holds the rest of the family together. Abuela's magic lies in how she creates an environment for the other Madrigals to flourish and use their gifts for good.
The yellow butterflies in Bruno's vision and when Abuela and Mirabel embrace at the end of Encanto also have their own meaning, as these are seen as a symbol of happiness and imagination, serving as a good omen for the Madrigals.
Why can Dolores hear Bruno? The truth is, Dolores isn't exactly sure what she hears when it comes to Bruno. Bruno left to live in the house's walls when Dolores was just a child, so she's listened to her uncle in the house for years. For Dolores, his sounds are a regular part of everyday life.
Contrary to many other Disney movies, Encanto doesn't have a villain. However, many fans consider Abuela Alma the closest option since her actions and expectations for her own family affect them all directly. Although she redeems herself by the end of the movie, Abuela Alma isn't likable before this.
One fan proposed that the etching of her looks sad, and that it might be because she doesn't like her gift. However, during a Q&A, Bush states it was intended as a look of contentment and peace, the result of no longer having to be on high-alert in the new, Maribel-led household.
The Entire Town Saw Bruno As A Villain Because Of The Madrigals. Before viewers found out what happened to Bruno, Encanto fans were theorizing about where he went and why he wanted to hurt the Madrigals with bad visions. The entire town heard about Bruno's visions and agreed that he was bad news.
At first glance, it seems Bruno represents the voice of fear and that we need to silence fear. But with another look, he's more than that. Bruno isn't just the voice of fear, but the fear of living. Bruno represents the fear of the imaginary unknown future you create in your head.
