Bruno's odd demeanor, affinity with rats, and often doomsaying visions had distinguished him as the "black sheep" of the Madrigals, resulting in his estrangement from the family.
Although Bruno was gifted with the ability to see future events, the family saw a flaw in his differences. His uncanny magical power was too much for the Madrigals, who would rather live in a drama-free home, devoid of any negative forecasts, predictions, or conflicts.
Bruno disappears in Encanto because his ability to see the future upsets everyone around him and he doesn't want that to be the case. Mirabel realizes that Bruno has been hiding in the walls of the house with rats and that he didn't run away from home after all.
I mean, I could go on and on but ultimately, Bruno became the scapegoat because he was able to talk about it. He became a representation of the perceived “imperfections” in the family, and they villainized him, forcing him to live in isolation and fear of his own potential.
Five years later, Bruno and his two siblings opened their magical doors in the house, revealing their powers. Bruno received the ability to see the future. However, he usually only ever saw bad things, and since his visions always came to pass, this led to him being ostracized and shunned by the community.
The character appears to symbolize the stigma around mental health issues: While he is never labeled with a specific diagnosis in the film, some viewers have suggested that he has OCD or another type of neurodivergent brain function.
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.
When Mirabel was younger, he left the family to protect her because he received the gift of prophecy but Bruno's visions always seemed to be bad news. Each member of the Madrigal family has a special room tailored to them that Casita creates for them when they get their magical power.
Isabela especially does not get along with Mirabel. Both sisters are mutually jealous of each other's lives; Isabela envying Mirabel being unburdened by expectations whilst she bears the brunt of Alma's expectations. Unaware of how unhappy the other was than they let on, Isabela had a strained relationship with her.
As he later explained, he needed a lot of space to be able to conjure up visions of the future for people and, as a result, his room was vast, cavernous, and largely empty. The other key element of the room was the towering stairway that led up to the platform where he performed his magic.
Abuela treasures the ceremony in which the future generations get their gift, and when Mirabel doesn't receive one, she becomes cold towards her, despite not overtly having a gift herself. She is also harsh on other members of the Madrigal family, but Mirabel becomes distinctively left out.
Although she is not ill-intentioned, Pepa can become unintentionally spiteful. She doesn't like to talk about her brother, like the townsfolk, because Bruno told her "it looks like rain" at her wedding and made her anxious to the point of causing a hurricane, quickly getting angry when Bruno is mentioned.
While the creators of Encanto chose the name Bruno for stylistic purposes, Luca's writers picked the name at random. For Encanto, the movie's creators had a specific reason to select the name, Bruno. Originally, Bruno's character was supposed to be named Oscar.
Bruno was not feeling happy after getting separated from the narrator's family. He was getting weak every day. The narrator's wife went to Mysore to meet Bruno. After seeing his pitiful condition she decided to get Bruno back home.
Dolores may just have kept Bruno's secret. If this is true, then it creates a problem with her inability to keep Mirabel's secret until after the proposal dinner. Some fans say Encanto paints her as the family gossip, but this makes it difficult to understand why she didn't say sooner that Bruno was still around.
Within Encanto then, Dolores' “squeak” means that she is talking about something potentially upsetting or heard information she was not supposed to know. However, Dolores' squeak also has a deeper historical meaning. According to one explanation (via Twitter), gestures have great historical significance in Colombia.
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 ...
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.
Producer Peter Del Vecho said that in an early draft, Elsa was written as an evil villain, while Anna was an innocent heroine. The final act made Hans the true villain and involved him triggering a huge avalanche that puts Arendelle in danger, resulting in Anna seeking Elsa's help.
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.
He very well could be autistic! He canonically does have OCD, which can be comorbid with autism, but there are several thibgs that point to him being autistic.
Abuela Alma was traumatized when she and her babies were physically displaced, and she witnessed the death of her husband. The third generation of the family, including Mirabel, the film's 15-year old female protagonist, did not exactly experience the trauma but it continues to impact the family.
After predicting too many negative events that did turn out to come true, like a tornado at Pepa's wedding, Bruno was blamed for every single horrible thing that happened to the Madrigals and their village. For them, it was as if Bruno was creating those tragedies instead of simply warning everyone about them.
