small cultural & Colombia/Latin related details from Encanto π¨π΄ (part 2)
Julieta using her fingers instead of a spatula to flip the food (also the arepas π«)
men in the village playing Tejo - national sport of Colombia (also the Colombian flag on the boards)
the small windmills in Mirabelβs basket are of the color of Colombian flag
so are the umbrellas
las palenqueras - dresses that Dolores wears, typical for Afro-Colombian women especially in Cartagena
silletas - the things that those men carry on their back (no idea how to explain it in English)
Puente de BoyacΓ‘ (the Bridge of BoyacΓ‘ located at the BogotΓ‘-Tunja highway)
note: I understand that some of those things may be also common in other cultures but please avoid commenting things like this. Now we are focusing on the Colombian aspects of this movie

small cultural & Colombia/Latin related details from Encanto π¨π΄ (part 3)
alpargatas - the shoes that Mirabel and other women in Encanto wear
COLOMBIA (obvious one and not that small but I love it, also itβs in the colors of Colombian flag)
capibaras - animals native to Colombia
mochilas - bags that Mirabel and other villagers carry
DΓa de las velitas (Day of the Little Candles)
wax palms - the palms that grow in Encanto are national trees of Colombia (they are also the highest palms)
AgustΓn playing En Barranquilla Me Quedo
there is so much more cultural and Colombian details in Encanto but I am not able to show them all in gifs unfortunately
the flowers that grow on Isabelaβs balcony are bugambilias - you can see them mostly in Cartagena de Indias. all of the flora and fauna showed in Encanto is typical for Colombia
all of the villagers (Madrigals also) are catholic - you can see the church and the priest - itβs an important part of our culture and traditions
there is a song called Colombia, Mi Encanto sung by Carlos Vives (I refuse to believe there can be Colombians who donβt know who he is)
so yeah that would be it
I think I wonβt be doing more of this because it takes a lot of time and phone storage but Iβm really grateful I was able to share those cultural facts about Encanto with more people
thank you for reading! <3

Iβm so pleased to finally put all of the 6 cousins together in one piece, ahh! I hope you like them all!! I worked really hard on each of their expressions π₯° What is your favorite part about the Encanto movie? I think mine is just seeing how delightful Mirabel is. Her personality and voice are just perfect, and sheβs truly the heart of the story!!

this is so sad casita play dos orugitas
(prequel to this!)
[ID: a drawing of pedro and young alma from encanto recreating the meme of will smith presenting his wife. pedro, smiling warmly, presents alma, who beams and holds up her paper cutout of triplets, balancing on one foot as the other jauntily kicks out. it is done in warm colours against a dark blue background, with white hearts, emphasis lines and golden butterflies around their heads. light from the butterflies turns parts of their hair and shoulders gold and orange. end ID.]
