Analysis: Disney Princesses were never bad role models

Like a lot of people I grew up with Disney movies. Snow White even gave me my love of apples (true story!). My favorite was Beauty and the Beast because I thought "Belle looks like me and we are fond of the same thing." Even so, like an awful lot of people I thought the Disney princesses were weak girls only waiting for Prince Charming to save them without doing anything to help their situation.

I was wrong though: Disney Princesses were never weak or dumb! They're great characters with deep and various personalities! I'm here to argue that point to you in analysing the old ones + Ariel because she's known as the first strong one + Rapunzel because she's an interesting case.

Sorry, it's a really long essay... And thank you to my proofreader for proofreading it this time, you're the best!

Snow White case

First one to be analysed... Snow White... Aka "The one I can't stand". Yet I'll defend her because I don't like her but I can't let people talk badly about her!

To defend her, anyone would have replaced the movie into its context as if it was the only way to defend the character to be a bad one. From what I know of and searched, at that time most women were housewives and Snow White gives them some credits so of course it can be used to defend the movie, I won't deny it! However that would mean she's still a bad role model today and I don't think it helps her case. Intention doesn't matter when one criticizes something so I won't talk about the context and you'll see I don't need it to defend Snow White!

Yes, Snow White is a kind princess that talks to animals. We even see her in the beginning talking to a nestling that fell from its nest to help it like we help a human child. We also see the animals of the forest helping her many times like cleaning the house with her. How thoughtful of them!

Yet no, she's not weak of dumb. During the movie, she even do some sensible things as:

Fleeing when meeting the prince when he approached her at the start of the movie

When the hunter tells her to flee she is trying to understand what is happening and actually understand once he pronounces the queen's name.

Yet she hesitates, clearly wondering if it is true, but ends up fleeing because she knows her step-mother and knows she's capable of trying to kill her.

When she starts acting as a mother to the dwarfs she's kind, smiling, but strict enough to ask them for proof when they tell her they washed their hands. Seeing it not being the case, she pushes them to wash them if they want to eat. Which is what a good mom would do, to teach some manners to their children.

Before that, when arriving at the Dwarfs' house she starts cleaning because she thinks doing that will maybe make them want her to stay. The girl is interested and clever! A bit rude too, you don't clean people's houses without asking permission.

Then when the dwarfs discover her, after guessing (correctly) their names she starts to negotiate so that they would permit her to stay in their home. She even answers every concern of them with actual good arguments, such as The Queen not having any way to know where she is, and suggesting she could cook. Well, she showed how useful she was in cleaning so cooking wouldn't be a problem for her either. I can understand they agree. I tell you, negotiating well is a quality requiring intelligence!

At some point she laughs at Grumpy for being... Well Grumpy! It's his name and when she guessed it she made a big angry voice to joke about it. Good humor is a sign of intelligence!

Snow White is a sensible woman then, who takes smart decisions and thinks before taking them. I'm pretty sure that, if she ever existed in our world, she would fight fake news. Actually the dwarfs are the stupid ones! Yes guys... It's water so, yes, it's wet.

I'll conclude my part on Snow White in talking about her supposed weakness. To do so, I'll talk about an interesting part of the movie: Snow White eating the apple the transformed Queen gives her.

What I didn't remember (since each time I wanted to watch it as an adult I quickly stopped because of how I couldn't stand her) is how Snow White was basically forced to eat that apple. And wouldn't have if the circumstances had ever been different. I mean, if the animals didn't attack The Queen for example, Snow White wouldn't have made her enter the house to help her recover. Actually she refused at first to eat the apple but The Queen argued a lot, insisted, and I honestly know a lot of people at her place who would have been confused enough to be convinced. It's how conspiracy theories as the flat earth one works! Snow White was convinced by the same way that conspiracy theories work: a lot of arguments and not letting your opponent think so they can be convinced in the moment. Some will stay convinced, others won't because they would have thought about it afterwards or simply done some research.

Snow White shows little girls they should learn to adapt, looking for proof when in front of a claim, and not acting without thinking before! I say it's good to teach them.

About personality Snow White is a sensible 14 years old girl that can be kind or strict depending on what is needed. She can act, like when she makes the animals go away from the disguised Queen or when she decides to clean the house so the dwarfs would want her to stay, and she mostly stays positive.

Cinderella Case

For Cinderella I'll try to avoid talking too much about Cinderella III where she's at her best since we can see her use her cleverness and bravery. It's the best of the trilogy and where she's the most active but that movie was made to respond to the critics about her being too passive in the first movie.

Well that was quite the cliffhanger to end on!

Season 1 of El Internado is done! :D

It’s a fun show with some great characters and intriguing mystery even if it kinda throws everything and the kitchen sink at you at once and apparently takes place over a week? I’m choosing to ignore that and pretend it’s a month.

The show effectively follows three groups: the teachers, the teens, and the 5 year olds, the latter of whom are objectively the best characters and deserve the world. I love Paula & Evelyn and their friendship and innocent 5 year old view of the world, and how caring the adults around them are. Amelia really does seem like a great teacher, and just the way Jacinta and others all melt when it comes to the kids and cheering them up and going along with their games. They are so good even if Paula’s friendship with Gnome gives me many heart attacks because we know nothing about him.

But if Jacinta knows about him and isn’t hostile to him, I can believe he’s a good guy! He also saved Paula from the “Taxi Driver” and that’s the most important thing. That “Taxi” scene still haunts me.

Speaking of Jacinta, the trio of Jacinta, Maria, and Fermin is my favorite trio! I love all of their interactions and and relationships, and how much Jacinta & Fermin try to help Maria. Maria deserves the world.

Hector’s a pretty cool dude too, even if he really needs to get his personal life sorted out. Elsa’s a cheater so I’m definitely not rooting for this relationship but I do still feel a little bad for her and at the very least I don’t think she’s evil evil. Just an awful person but one who takes her job seriously. Given what I’ve heard about this show, I can’t discount that.

Pedro sucks though. No sympathy for him at all. Please run Amelia.

And Camilo................................................ I trust him as far as I can throw him right now. The teenagers should too if someone can find the brain cell among them.

And speaking of the teens... they are probably the weakest part of the show tbh. Not in terms of plot - the mystery is great and intriguing and I do like how active they are in finding answers rather than waiting for the plot to come to them. But as characters?

Marcos & Ivan are really the only ones with any depth and development, and a lot of that comes out with their interactions with more interesting characters outside of the friend group. Ivan’s two friends are just kinda there, and while it’s great the Carol and Vicky and so active in finding their missing teacher and largely moving things forward.... who are they and why should we care again?

Vicky seemed to be set up as the student with the closest relationship to Alfonso so it was weird that Carol ended up as the one most determined to solve the mystery. And while her determination is admirable... Carol herself kinda sucks.

We barely know anything about her. Why is she so obsessed with solving this mystery? What was her relationship with Alfonso? Why are her friends following her... why are they all even friends? This goes for the group in general. We get a lot of great scenes of Paula & Evelyn, and the adults and their social lives but we barely get anything for the teens. They’re a friend group because the show says they are and we never really get any fun, sweet moments between them.

I feel like the show would have been stronger if all the kids got sucked into the mystery for their own reasons like Marcos and grew closer together rather than starting off as an alleged friend group.

Also Carol’s actress is..... not good as whispering. Everyone is bad at this but I feel it’s especially bad with her. The sheer number of times a scene really looks like it should have the characters whispering between each other but instead has them talking at normal volume (or loud in Carol’s case) is laughable. How have the adults not caught on to what they’re doing yet? They talk about it out in the open! xD

Also...how is this school’s security so bad (beyond Hector refusing to hire a private firm) Kids are getting lost in the woods every night apparently - the woods that are repeatedly said to be dangerous and off-limits, yet the 5 year olds have regular field trips there, doors are never locked and the one time they are it’s used for attempted murder. And somehow Gnome is able to sneak into the school pretty regularly to see Paula and never gets caught.

Hector.... please get your school and your life in order. You may choose the order.

#el internado #fortune watches el internado #it's a very fun show but also kind bonkers #i still refuse to believe it takes place over a week xD

Encanto Camilo x Oc Type Rp

💐🕯️🌧️👂💪

I’m 18+ and all participants must be 18+

Might contain NSFW scenes and a lot of SFW scenes

I just watched Encanto and I’m in love. I loved the music and family, and just everything. So I wanted to do a Rp based on it. I have a character already made. Anyways I love Camilo and don’t think he had enough screen time XD. I would love if maybe your Camilo aged up and don’t worry we can come up with a plot. Or I have one in mind

It would be like a forbidden love story. What if my oc grandfather was the man who killed Abuelo. And she is new to the Encanto! This would be after the movie. And let’s say Camilo is older and he is more flirty and hormonal hahahaha. This would kinda be love at first sight for Camilo hahah

Anyways I want this to be a a long term Rp and there can be NSFW scenes but I would like a plot as well. Anyways I am on all times. And hurry. I only rp third person and on d1sc0rd and am semi literate

Anyways we can talk the plot such when you text. Send me your favorite color and favorite Madrigal member so I know you read my prompt.

DM @kimm4710 if interested!

Encanto game!

2, 6, 11, 12

Thank you for the ask! Yeeee!

Okay, here we go!

2. What ice cream flavors do you think would exist in Encanto if ice cream were plausible?

Guayaba! (Guava) and I just know it would be delicious. Have you ever had guava paste?? I feel like that is how it would taste and now my mouth is watering 😆

6. Who's your favorite OC and who do they belong to?

Okay, besides saying my own OCs 😆 I really like Leandro (I think that’s how it’s spelt?) from Arachniphobia16’s Bad Hero series. It’s a long series but oh my gosh, the world they have built…I’m such a slut for good world building XD and Leandro is a very well-built OC in my opinion.

11. A song that would be on Camilo’s playlist?

Hmmm….so i had to random shuffle to search for this because there are TOO many songs in my head and they were all clamoring for attention, but! Definitely “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)” by Ylvis. Omg it just fits with his brand of chaos, and Antonio would sing along too 😆

12. You’ve gotta kick one canon character out of Encanto. Sorry.

Osvaldo. I did not like him, at all. I know it was like a plot point or something, but, I just… how can you say stuff like that and NOT think it’s insensitive? He absolutely knew what he was doing, and no one can change my mind lol

Thanks for the Ask! 💜

Let’s talk about “We don’t talk about Bruno”

I've been postponing this due to the lack of time for writing long posts, but since I mentioned it in yesterday's post, let's talk about Encanto's greatest hit and its potential interpretations instead of focusing on work, lol.

A lot has already been said about We don't talk about Bruno, and I've read many interesting and super good analysis of the song and its possible meaning. First things first: no, I don't think this is just a song to shit on Bruno because everybody hates him, I think this is far more complex than that. And every single person who intervenes in the song has their own motivations and had their own relationship with the missing fortuneteller, showing a different side of how he was (or how he's remembered) as a person.

So, please, if you're interested, join me in this (long) journey through this intricate tapestry of mixed feeling and strong emotions XD

Pepa and the wedding incident

I want to focus especially on this part, because it's the most interesting for me and also the one I've seen misinterpreted more frequently. Let's start with some important context: Pepa's feelings towards Bruno are the strongest ones in this song, because he's her brother. She's the one with the closest relationship with him and the one who knows him the most, because they grew up together since birth. Among all the people who participate in WDTAB, Pepa is the one who has more reasons to be hurt by his departure and also the one who is constantly forced to suppress and bottle up her emotions, which means she probably never had the chance to mourn her brother or process properly what had happened. This being said, being angry at Bruno is probably the better way she found to cope with those feelings, and I bet she's one of the firmest defenders of the "we don't talk about Bruno" thing, along with Alma (as many people have pointed already).

But… is she really angry about the wedding incident?

The scene previous to the song is also very important. When Pepa hears Mirabel mentioning Bruno, she loses her temper in a very strong way. Three times she has to push away her cloud, because she obviously doesn't bear even thinking about him. But Mirabel keeps pushing the subject, and then Félix show up suddenly to intervene, and the mood changes right away.

I love how he storms into the room, btw; I like to think he was downstairs with Dolores preparing for the visits, till she said something like "Papi, Mira's asking mami about tío Bruno in the nursery", and he bolted immediately upstairs to prevent the disaster. Because that's what he does. How, if he's the one who keeps talking about Bruno instead of shushing Mirabel? Exactly, he keeps talking about Bruno and so he redirects Mira's attention towards himself and takes the reins of the conversation, so Pepa can stop feeling cornered by her niece, who isn't realizing she's touching a very sore spot.

Everyone uses to remark how Camilo is the only one having the time of his life singing this song, but look at the face of this man, please.

He's putting up a show too, even using a mysterious tone pretty similar to the one Bruno himself uses later with that "It was your viiiision, Mirabel, not miiiine". He's not mad at Bruno in the slightest, he doesn't resent him, and notice he's talking about Bruno's visions, not Bruno per se: "he would see something terrible and then, BOOM!, it would happen". This has the same vibe as teasing Agustín for being accident-prone. And with this I want to drag your attention to the fascinating world of FAMILY BANTER.

I'll tell you a personal story as example. About 25 years ago, someone (the culprit never confessed their crime) threw away a little bottle full of seeds of my mom's favorite plants, that she was lovingly reserving for our garden. It's the stupidest thing ever, but she got SUPER MAD at all of us, to the point she kept bringing the subject up again and again every now and then. And, after a while, it turned into one of the most used running gags of the family, and even now it's pretty common for us ending any stupid argument with a "YEAH, LIKE THE SEEDS". It's been 25 years and, when the thing is mentioned, mom IS STILL GENUINELY SALTY ABOUT IT, but at the same time she knows it's something super ridiculous, so we laugh together about it. It's pure and mere teasing. And though this example is about a nonsense, there are things pretty more serious in the family that have been turned into running gags too, because time gives you perspective, and something that upset you deeply when you were 20 can make you laugh when you're 40. It's not impossible to be salty about something and joke about it at the same time.

For me, this is what the wedding incident represents. By refusing to stop talking about Bruno, Félix gives Pepa room to stop repressing her own feelings and to allow herself remember her brother and talk about him. And what's the thing she chooses to share? The wedding's fiasco, like "you wanna talk about my bro, I'm gonna tell you his greatest hit".

Both Pepa and Félix start telling the story with a very dramatic display, but Félix goes :D almost right away and, though Pepa keeps her pose a little longer, she's obviously enjoying to be finally able to share the story too. She's jokingly mimicking Bruno's "mischievous grin" (can you imagine Bruno walking in with that silly tone again like "Peeepa, it looks like raaaain"?, because I can picture him perfectly XD), she's constantly smiling, she only gets annoyed at Félix interrupting her (Félix, who's constantly smiling too), she doesn't look actually mad at all. She knows Bruno was joking and she doesn't blame him for the hurricane, she blames him for the joke. She says it literally: "Bruno says 'it looks like rain', and in doing so he floods my brain". She's admitting she lost her nerves and released a hurricane at his joke. And don't tell me Bruno didn't go like "oopsie :_D" and Pepa didn't go like "YOU FUCKING IDIOT" while they were walking down the aisle under the rain, because this shit surely went immediately to the top list of Madrigal's gaffes that compose the family's mythology. This is the kind of anecdote people tell again and again at family reunions, at Christmas, at parties, at whatever celebration, in a very theatrical way, just as Pepa and Félix do in WDTAB. And of course Pepa would be super upset THAT day and probably she's still genuinely salty, because this is far more serious than a lost bottle of seeds; but it's something they also remember dearly. They're having fun remembering it. "What a joyous day", Félix says, and Pepa is smiling, because it was indeed a joyous day, after all.

Bruno left more than ten years after this incident, they had plenty of time to talk about it, I bet he told Pepa a million times "it was a joke!", and it probably turned into a running gag too every time they argued, with Pepa like "what are you gonna do, ruin my wedding AGAIN?". Because that's how family banter works. You never stop reminding your siblings of their most embarrassing mistakes. And I can imagine Pepa being the kind of sister who probably teased Bruno with things like "whoa, your visions suck", as he probably teased her about her mood swings, and she teased him for being so short, and he teased her for being so tall, and so on.

What's the problem, then? The problem is Bruno isn't there anymore. Bruno left, and then all the good, ridiculous, funny or tender memories shared over the years got poisoned. Because your brother's gone. You can't tease him, you can't laugh with him, you can't argue with him, you can't share your life with him. And that HURTS af. It's even worse in Pepa's case, since she's forced to not speak about her brother and she can't afford even thinking about him without risking her self-control. How long had it been since the last time she was able to sit and tell the story of how his bro's joke fucked up her wedding, and laugh about it instead of feeling like crap? She can't talk about Bruno, she's not allowed to. And that's why people saying Pepa's destroying Bruno in this song with her irrational hate piss me off. What hate? She's seizing the moment to tell us one of the most memorable memories of her brother, she's telling us her wedding was a mess and even so by the end of the story she can't stop smiling. They have given her the chance to remember Bruno again in a funny way, not hurtful. You can argue she's implying her brother was an asshole, but please, at least acknowledge she's saying it in an affectionate way, not hateful. Even in the last scene of the song, when everyone's "dancing" around Mirabel, Pepa and Félix look cheerful and happy singing about the wedding. They don't hate Bruno at all.

Bruno bringing up the wedding incident later in All of you doesn't have to mean they've never talked about it in the last 20 years, it's just a narrative device, because:

a) It's something previously mentioned in the movie that the audience can recognize.

b) It's an indirect way to tell us Bruno was a perceptive guy, always aware of what was the family's problem (they were repressing their emotions too much), but failed to communicate it to them.

c) And it's the perfect excuse to include the mandatory reference to Let it go (yes, I hate this one, but it's what it is).

All of you is a 100% symbolic song, even more than any of the others. And, as many details of the movie, can't be analyze in a literal way.

Grandkids roundup

Recently, I saw someone mentioning how WDTAB depicts perfectly the progressive decay of Bruno's reputation in town, and that's a super clever observation and 100% true: first, Pepa talking about how her brother was originally a mischievous prankster (or, if you prefer, an insightful guy) whose jokes/observations were easily misunderstood and often leaded to self-fulfilled "prophecies". Second, Dolores talking about how people struggled more and more trying to understand his prophecies (and failing). And finally, Camilo talking about the exaggerated distorted image of his tío, created by the rumors and people's paranoia towards him. They represent three different stages of Bruno's life and three different kinds of people: the ones who knew him closely, the ones who knew him briefly and the ones that only know the rumors.

But, metaphors aside, Dolores' part is also super interesting in a more literal way. As a lot of people have pointed out before (me included), she is the most sympathetic towards Bruno. It's open to interpretation, but I think her verses reference in-walls Bruno since the beginning, talking about her fear of hear him "stuttering or stumbling" (aka, losing his mind or moving behind the walls) or the fact that she hears him every day. I read once someone saying the sound of the spackle is similar to the sound of falling sand too, implying Dolores can hear Bruno literally patching the cracks of Casita (which is also true). But my favorite verses are the last ones:

Always left Abuela and the family fumbling Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand

Why? Because she uses "they" instead of "we". She excludes herself from "the family". She's not one of those who "couldn't understand". So she admits she does understand Bruno, and also tells Mirabel directly he left because the rest of the family wasn't going to understand his vision. And she looks very interested in her cousin to understand that point.

Camilo's part is just he messing with Mirabel, and Jared Bush himself explained Camilo is joking and exaggerating due to his theater-kid nature, so there's nothing more to say. Though I personally think his part is also a good reference to Bruno's dramatic nature too. Camilo is performing, and I think he probably remembers (even if it's just deep inside) Bruno also performing for them. But this is just a headcanon.

Finally, Isa's part is mostly a foreshadowing of her arc in the movie. She tells us Bruno showed her the life of her dreams, but the life of her dreams is directly linked to her powers and its growth, not with love/marriage/children. Isa has probably spent her whole life wondering what else could she do, wanting to do more, but she's totally repressed and stuck in her perfect façade. Her dream is to be free, and she looks distressed at the end of the song (the "I'm fine" part with Dolores) because her tío's prophecy, despite being a good omen, hasn't been fulfilled. It's tragic the only good vision mentioned in the song is also the only one that seems to be wrong; but it's also a reminder that not everything Bruno saw was bad. He had good visions too; or, more precisely, he just saw things that could be interpreted in different ways, like every fortuneteller.

Fish lady, gut guy and bald priest

We always say there is no villain in Encanto, but that's not true, the villains in Encanto are the town's people who have spent 50 years torturing the family with their nonsenses XD

Ok, jokes aside, these three randos are the proof that people in town were the main problem for Bruno. They were the ones asking stupid things and the ones getting upset by the answers. The dead fish, the gut and the baldness are such a ridiculous examples of Bruno's bad omens that it's pretty probable they weren't prophecies in the first place, as many people have pointed out before too. This theory ties with the previous mentions of Bruno being insightful but misunderstood, and paints a pretty depressing scenario for him, where even the most casual remark could trigger someone's paranoia.

In a more serious level, this kind of things was probably the actual source of his distress. Because he's a Madrigal and his duty is to help the Encanto, but people were 50/50 amazed and terrified by his powers and his predictions. Warning the town about any danger is a "useful" thing, but years and years of being the town's harbinger is a heavy lift, as Dolores says. He wasn't helping in a positive way, people was always fretting and assuming the worst, and then he started questioning himself, his self-worth, his role, his purpose. And he started getting frustrated and irritated, and that triggered his problems inside the family too. Because running gags like the one about the wedding or the "whoa, your visions suck" weren't funny anymore. Teasing wasn't enjoyable anymore. Misunderstandings were getting heavier and heavier. I've said before that time gives you perspective, but it also can narrow it, and something you were able to laugh about at 20 perhaps is far less laughable at 40, after decades of failures. Especially if Julieta and Pepa were doing their part honoring the miracle and he couldn't. Bruno had to live up to Alma's expectations, but he also had to live up to his own expectations; as Mirabel, he wanted to be helpful and make the family proud, and he wasn't managing. So he started isolating himself and endured it alone, as everyone else in the family, because they have to keep going.

When Bruno is preparing the ritual to repeat Mirabel's vision, the incident he brings up full of salt is the dead goldfish, not Pepa's wedding or any other family thing. He resents the people's behavior towards him and his gift. He never mentions Alma or the family specifically being the problem, he just says "everyone assumes the worst". And of course Alma is part of that "everyone", but everyone is mostly the people in town, as Alma's reactions are directly linked to the town's reactions: if they're happy, she's happy, if they're not, she isn't either, because her life's goal is serving the Encanto. The ridiculous demands and expectations of the people damaged Bruno's self-esteem, damaged his relationship with his family and pushed him into the walls. One thing fuels another, everything is connected. It wasn't just one person's fault; it was everyone's fault.

Final notes: I also love the theory that Bruno told Pepa "it looks like rain" because he knew she was going to blow up with such a repressed tension, and so he could take the blame for ruining the wedding instead of her. I think what happened that day could be a mix of all of this: a simple joke, a brother teasing his sister, a brother helping his sister making it pass as a joke/teasing… But definitely, I think it's a good memory for all of them, and I'll die in this hill. The first thing Bruno does when he reunites with the family is acting like a total clown to make Pepa smile. I'm sure he has done it before, perhaps that was what he always did, before pressure crushed them all.

So I was rewatching Encanto and I noticed this bit in All of You that isn't even a whole four sec long but it's one of my favorites of the whole sequence (dare I say, the whole movie?)

This:

First off, Abuela is the one consulting Mirabel. Mirabel is clearly in the leadership position here. Mira points off somewhere and tells Abuela what to do, but not before consulting the blueprint first. And Abuela is completely content with this! She is happy to help her family. AH.

I wish for an entire tv show if only to explore this dynamic. This one moment shows what couldn't be clearer: Mirabel is the next Matriarch, and Abuela has already 'retired' in that sense.

The new Casita is Mirabel's.

Now, onto my favorite part of this whole thing.... Camilo.

Listen, I love him so much and this might be my favorite moment with him in the movie and this is my breakdown of it (I promise there's a point apart from my rambling, just skip to the second to last pic if you want but I think this moment is just so funny to me)

Kay so Mirabel hands him the shovel and Camilo's like "Heck yeah I got this"

And look at him go, he's ready to help (but look at that face, it's full of mischief) ((also I think Abuela's face is really heartwarming in the pic below))

Anyways Camilo is all confident tries to do this twirl thing with the shovel.

He messes up(it's a shovel not a baton) and immediately is like "oh sh-" as he fumbles with the shovel (look at this face!!!!)

Finally drops it (this face is so relatable though, this exact sequence of faces has happened to me so many times)

Stares in denial for a sec

And then looks to none other than.... Mirabel?

Abuela is standing RIGHT THERE and he looks to his (younger) cousin first. Plus Mirabel having given him the shovel in the first place. I can imagine Camilo immediately going to pick up the shovel once he realizes Mirabel is busy, and just hoping no one saw that XD

But the fact that he looks to Mirabel first is an amazing touch to solidifying her as the leader. Awesome detail. (also think it adds a bit to adjusting to not having his powers because ✨coordination✨ but I wouldn't doubt that he's just clumsy sometimes😆)

In conclusion:

Your honor, I love him

I hope Encanto gets TV series instead of a sequel, cos in a TV series there’s more room to explore different characters in different combination. I think a classic episodic series without or minimal over arching plot would suit the theme best. Like, just what the characters do on a daily basis, how they interact, what kinda shenanigans and angst they get into.

Mostly I just want more Bruno, cos you know, I like my filthy rat men, isn’t that already obvious at this point. Though I also would like more Camilo, cos he’s like my second favorite, but admittedly, he doesn’t have much to do in a film.

Or at least, they could just cater to my specific interest and make a short film focusing on Camilo in front of some other movie lol xD

Gotta admit that I read every single Bruno/Camilo incest fic on AO3 and was like yeah baby yeah, but I probably won’t go that rabbit hole myself, just because I already have an artblock, feel like shit, and don’t have the energy to get death threats on my hobbies. But yeah, that happened, and no-one is surprised xDDD

Okay...... Encanto. Watch it in theaters if you can. Spoilers below the cut. This is on plot and characters(Except Abuela). A bit on songs too. I realized that I was gonna need another post for this one XD

I present to thee, Encanto Rant, Parte Uno

It is amazing, by far one of my favorite Disney movies. Las canciones are just amazingggggggggg. This is consecutive day SEVEN of 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' stuck in my head. The music alone is a masterpiece and I love being able to hear hints of Lin in the music.

Encanto is an amazing story about family and relationships, and it brings up a multi-generational dynamic that is present in so many hispanic families. On top of that, there are so many 'easter eggs' that just shows how much they put into making it feel authentic. There is a moment with Mirabel's dad and he says "Mierrrcoles" and I nearly screamed. It's like the Spanish version of "fuuuuuuuuuuu- dge cookies". I cannot believe that I saw it in a Disney movie.

THE COLOR, the visual design was stunning. I really think they perfected that tech with Moana and have only advanced it from there. The opening scene is stunning, the lighting, the curls, absolutely amazing.

One thing that I think stood out about this movie as well was the choreography. The dance and various sequences. They went all out and it was amazing to watch. Two of my favorites choreo wise are Surface Pressure(Luisa's song) and We Don't Talk About Bruno.

Now... onto the story and characters...

Mirabel! Angel, one of my favorite Disney princesses. One of my favorite things about the story of this movie is how everything clicks into place for her to become the family matriarch after Abuela Alma. Mirabel was the first Madrigal not to receive a gift but who else never got one? Abuela. But then what is Abuela's job? Protect the miracle. What does Mira do? Protect the miracle. The movie develops this wonderfully and I love it so much.

Julieta and Agustín! Lovely dynamic, and I love Julieta's power! She reminds me so much of my own mom. There's a point where she's with Mirabel and they are having a mother-daughter moment and Julieta rubs her nose on Mirabel's affectionately and that is something I do all the time with my mom. That feeling, it's like home. Another thing that I cannot believe is in a Disney movie.

Antonio! Another angel, I love him so much. His relationship with Mirabel is so heart-warming and it felt so real. And his introduction in the movie was amazing.

Tía Pepa and Tío Félix! I love them so so so much! Tía Pepa also looks just like my Spanish teacher, who is Columbian. Same hair(color and texture) and skin and everything. 'Twas amazing. Their relationship and Pepa's dynamic her power is amazing.

Luisa and Isabella! The brawn and beauty! The three of them are such believable sisters, honestly. Luisa's song hits extra hard for me as an older sister, so I'm a bit biased. And Isabella's own struggles with the family pressure line up with the rest of them so we'll, which adds even more to that family dynamic that makes this movie work so well. Plus Isa's song, What Else Can I Do, has one of my favorite rhymes: "Flor de Mayo by the mileeeee"

Camilo! Minor character, lovable character. I love him and his voice. God his voice. His part in WDTAB is absolutely fascinating, just aghhhhhh. Anyways. Love his design in general and loved his powers incorporation into the movie (ie when the Casita is falling apart and he is jumping around, using his powers but he suddenly shifts back to himself and the Casita has to break his fall).

Dolores! First off, RHYMES, "My cousin Dolores can hear this whole chorus a mile away" and her entire part in WDTAB. One of my favorite details about her is how she speaks so low, even when she's rapping. Her soft voice works so well, kudos to Adassa, who voiced her.

Anyways, this detail is amazing because of her power, which is basically super hearing. Of course she would talk lower. And there's a part after– you guessed!– We Don't Talk About Bruno, where the family is screaming and fighting and all she can do is press her hands against her ears to try and shut it out. It is heart wrenching among the chaos. Also love her character design, her dress is awesome.

Now, we don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no, no. We don't talk about Brunoooo- But!

I love him. They did amazing with his character, he could have gone wrong on a ton of ways(as Mirabel could have). He could have been petulant, bitter, idiotic, etc. I mean, he ran away by not running and started living in the walls of his families house while still having dinner with them every night. That coulda gone wrong in so many ways. I just loooove him. His introduction was amazing and perfectly met everything that had been built up to that moment.

And?? He just seems like a good person?? Abuela had drilled into all of them that their gift was to be used to help the village, and with a very specific idea of what helping would be. I keep imagining Bruno thinking "Well, this is my gift and I'm meant to use it" and going to random villagers to tell them they're fish would die or that they'd grow a gut. Even to the point where he'd just say stuff ("It looks like rain") and he is antagonized(not saying anything bad about Pepa, weddings are stressful and she prolly had Abuela hovering over her).

Plus his character has all sorts of little mannerisms that jussttttt aaaaaa I love it.

Anyways, I have a lot more to say so I'm making a parte dos. Hopefully soon.
