And finally, when Bruno sings his apology to Pepa about ruining her wedding day, he sings "Let it go," and then the opening notes of "Let It Go" from Frozen can be heard as part of the song. Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who wrote "Let It Go," are even given a credit in the end credits of Encanto.
Encanto includes at least three hidden Mickeys. The first appears in the middle of the screen as Mirabel sings "Waiting for a Miracle." While she observes her family, three bright specs of light from the Magic Candle form a Mickey icon. The second appears a few seconds later, hidden in the fireworks behind Mirabel.
Second, Encanto references Frozen near the end of the movie when Bruno reconciles with his siblings, Pepa and Julieta. While encouraging Pepa to use her emotions and powers more freely, Bruno sings “let it snow, let it go.” This is a direct reference to Elsa's song “Let It Go” from Frozen.
It's not exactly a hidden message, but the film is about relationships within families, and the relationship between individual members of a family and their preconceptions about the family as a whole. The movie "Encanto" was an animated lyrical fantasy-comedy film that shocked everyone with awesome animation works.
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.

What is Mirabel's gift in Encanto at the end?
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. When she helps Isabela accept herself, the cracks in Casita heal and her sister discovers new abilities.
And if that's not coincidental enough, if you look at Hercules, Bruno is there again, warning everybody about the end. He literally saw the world ending.
In short, Agustín actually meant to say the Spanish curse word “mierda,” which translates to “s—t” in English. But he refrained from doing so and instead said “Wednesday.” According to #Encanto Twitter, this is a common practice in the Colombian community as a way to avoid profanity around children.
Colombia has more than 3,600 butterfly species (the most in the world), so the average viewer may not realize that the yellow butterflies that swarm through Disney's enchanting animated movie Encanto were inspired by author Gabriel García Márquez's frequent use of yellow butterflies as a symbol of love, hope, and peace ...
4. The Encanto track has surpassed Frozen's "Let It Go" as Disney's biggest hit from an animated film on the Billboard Hot 100. Back in 2014, Frozen's "Let It Go" reached No. 5 on the Billboard charts.
On a global scale, the theatrical release of Encanto grossed $234,197,979 worldwide, which excludes the film from the top 100 highest-grossing Disney theatrical releases. Frozen (2013), a Disney film commonly compared to Encanto grossed $1,265,596,785 worldwide and its sequel, Frozen II (2019), grossed $1,445,182,280.

Just about every Disney movie has references to other Disney classics, and Moana is no exception. Seriously, it's jam-packed with easter eggs from all of your faves, including Frozen, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin.
As the theory explained, "Because Mirabel already had the brains to take over as matriarch, she didn't need a gift bestowed by the house, so it gifted the brawn and the beauty to her sisters so that the three of them make the perfect group to lead the family into the future." According to the theory, the reason why ...

While there are theories about Mirabel's hidden gift, the movie emphasizes that her intelligence and problem-solving abilities are her true gift. She doesn't need external magic to make a difference. The focus of Encanto is on self-acceptance and finding one's true purpose.
In fact, Bruno is only seen twice in the second film with a minor role. Bruno does not appear in the third film, nor in the live-action adaptation. This could be due to budget limitations, or possibly a lack of purpose in the story.
Those who have seen the 1997 Disney animated film Hercules might be tempted to say that Hercules fell in love with a woman named Megara. Well, you'd be right. In Greek mythology, Megara was the wife of Hercules.
Bruno is a bloodhound who became Cinderella's pet as a puppy when her father was still alive, before he married Lady Tremaine. Bruno is a dog of ambition who dreams of chasing and catching his evil housemate, Lucifer the cat.
The Encanto theory about Mirabel also recalls how the pair have similar looks, which is evident when the film focuses on Pedro's portrait when the Casita cracks. There's enough evidence to make a case for Mirabel being the reincarnation of Pedro.
Abuela, then, doesn't see her family as individuals and family members but more as powerful gifts that add to the Madrigals' legacy and role in the town. Mirabel didn't get a gift because that would have rewarded Abuela for her manipulation, as she pushed for Mirabel to exist just to add more powers to the family.
However, it's not just the lie that makes Dolores a villain; it's the fact that she uses her gift to steer situations in the direction she wants them to go that likens her to one.
