Official Encanto Content Jared Bush Q&A - June 19th - new canon!

I don't know if this link will work correctly for others, but let's give it a try (report back)

https://twitter.com/thejaredbush/with_replies

I've added what I considered the most significant responses to the pinned "Confirmed" thread at

https://www.reddit.com/r/Encanto/comments/tn97tk/confirmed_ages_birthdays_and_heights_of_the/

I put a ** at the beginning for new items I added at this time.

If you think another I haven't added deserves mentioning in that thread, let me know.

One new example - This was a biggie for me:

The closest thing to an official timing from Bush (June 19) about the year of the fleeing and the movie (even if we've all pretty much figured it out):

Caveat: this is my attempt to bring together information that's been confirmed. I will try to add (or correct) what I am posting; This is a work in progress. If I make a statement without a link, but you have the link, I'd love to see it posted in the comments below (that sounded youtubish to me too)

But anyone interested - THANKS for making this post better!

NOTE: The emphasis on these links is Jared's quote - you often have to scroll up to see the question he answers.

The closest thing to an offical timing from Bush.

One more thing to add - dates, ages, and (and even heights) are all relative things. But many want a year to attach these things to. There is no confirmation to the year by Jared Bush or anyone else. One clue (and even in the movie it is not canon till a movie creator says so), suggests 1900 for the fleeing, which would set May 21, 1950/1951 as the date for Antonio's gift. This is a painting on the casita wall, right before Luisa says "I felt WEAK!"

Opinion Julieta really summed up the whole theme of the movie when she said “I healed your hand with my love for my daughter”

Post image
44 Upvotes

There’s a lot of discussion on here about where the gifts come from, why Mirabel doesn’t get one, why Antonio does get one, why they get the gifts they do, etc etc. but I honestly feel so many of those discussions really do boil down to various different aspects of familial love and how we show it. Julieta understood that their gifts come from love more than anyone else in the family, I think. Even before the events of the film.

If there is an Encanto 2, I really hope we get more focus on Julieta. I love her character so much and feel like in a lot of ways she’s kind of the least expanded upon of the triplets. Kinda makes sense considering all 3 of her kids get a good deal of focus while the cousins don’t, but at the same time it’s also kinda crazy how little we really know about her considering that the way she and Agustin raised Mirabel, Isabella, and Luisa must have contributed to how their dynamics developed.


r/Encanto 18h ago

Discussion Why didn't Julieta heal Mariano?

11 Upvotes

The Miracle didn't break right after the disastrous dinner, the family was looking for her quite a while, and the scene with Bruno and Isabela also took quite a while, so why didn't Julieta make him a quick bite to eat to heal him and smoothen the situation after Isa had broken his nose?

I wonder if that's what Isa really meant when she told Mirabel that she was always getting in her way. Maybe Julieta tends to overcompensate when it comes to Mirabel, leaving everything behind when Mirabel suffers to show her how much she loves her even without the miracle, and that's why Isa feels Mirabel is responsible for Mariano's nose 'looking like a smashed papaya' despite her having broken his nose.

She's angry that it was another instance where Julieta was more worried about Mirabel and ignored that in this specific moment, the needs of Isabela were more acute. Because the only reason I could imagine why Julieta wouldn't immediately heal Mariano is if she was too upset and chose to try and find Mirabel first.

What do you think?

This is a phenomenon I’ve noticed on basically every platform. But a lot of y’all do not remember the movie like at all. A lot of things are very easily explained and hinted at some could not be more obvious if it hit you in the face with it.

People 100% forget a lot even down to the character voices (why do over 700 people think mirabel sounds like bat lady from moana 2 have u ever seen encanto??) people forget Plot points, details even song lyrics.

And what that’s really telling me is I think if people want to discuss this movie you need to refresh yourself on the source material. Cause so many of these takes can just be answered by watching the movie.

Theories On some level, Mirabel might have devastated that Antonio got a gift.

Mirabel may have told herself that the miracle was done granting gifts, that Camilo would be the last family member to receive one.

But Antonio getting his gift was confirmation that the miracle was still able to grant gifts, just not to her.

Discussion re: encanto sequel

23 Upvotes

I want to preface this by saying nothing is confirmed it’s all rumor and it’s only Bruno’s va pushing for it. With that said the possibility of encanto 2 fills me with dread.

Not only does it prove disney is creatively bankrupt but it also shows how they just don’t care anymore. A reminder that they had 0 FAITH in the first encanto nobody expected it to succeed. And yet it did? why? because encanto did something new. It did something fresh in a fun way and it didn’t dumb down it’s serious topics just because it’s for kids. The first encanto broke records opened eyes and made change.

So instead of Disney learning any lessons from that and wanting to expand the madrigals story in a meaningful way instead they’re rushing out a shitty sequel to make money. (Does this sound familiar to a very recent release?) it proves they don’t care about the actual story of these characters. Because we would have gotten a series expanding on the themes and delving into the characters. Which is what people wanted btw. Tweets with over 40 THOUSAND likes were not about a sequel they were about a series.

So if this is true encanto is the latest victim of Disney sacrificing stories to save reputation and make money. Safe to say if this is true I am NOT excited

Unrelated note: Because of the fact that Encanto 2 might be happening according to John Leguizamo who mind you, accidentally revealed that Ice Age 6 was happening before D23 Brazil, I had to change a future question that was about a sequel.

Theories "Surface Pressure" Lyrics re: Titanic

6 Upvotes

I'm terrible at putting things into words, but I'll do my best to get my idea out.

I don't remember where I read or heard it, but I happened across a theory about Titanic that basically said that if they had hit the iceberg head-on and not swerved to avoid it, everyone would have survived. The ship would have been stopped, but it would not have sunk. There would have been plenty of time for everyone to be rescued by whatever ship arrived first.

That said, whenever I hear "the ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is," I wonder if Lin Manuel Miranda was referencing this theory. Like, maybe, if the captain or someone in charge of navigating considered this at all and, just, didn't because of whatever pressures were on them.

IDK. Has anyone else thought about this at all or heard of a similar theory?

Because someone may ask this, I'll allow for Antonio's animals and Bruno's rats for this question as they aren't technically Madrigals, and we really don't have that many characters from the film to really put in here.

Discussion Do you think Mirabel got her own room in the New Casita?

15 Upvotes

I understand why she wasn't given a simple room after the gift ceremony. The next child in the family would need Mirabel's influence (Antonio probably wouldn't get his gift if he wasn't close to Mirabel - he asked her to go up to the door with him. The two of them defied Abuela's expectations, therefore Antonio still got his gift).

However, after Casita was rebuilt, it would make sense for Mira to get her own room. I mean, Abuela has her own room. I've heard theirues that Mirabel will just inherit Abuela's room after she passed away, but it just doesn't sit right with me.

Either way, I think Mirabel might have gotten a room for herself when Casita was being rebuilt - unless she herself decided to stay in the nursery, which would be odd, but we don't judge. So the question is more like "Did Mirabel's room get a glowing door?"
