im very much sure someone already pointed this out before and we all know how everything mirabel mentioned she'd do in waiting on a miracle, she was actually able to do it in the end, but these two scenes just really emphasize it
similar positions, same pride and happiness in her family's eyes, and even in the first pic, there's a space for bruno!!
like, damn, she really set out to do what she said she'd do
and her desperation and longing in the first pic…in the end, she got what she wanted and more
guess whose turn is it for the sister trilogy posts <3
like the previous two posts i made about some realizations during the songs [the sister (heh) posts: waiting on a miracle & surface pressure], this might have already been pointed out by other people in the past and it's probably really obvious anyway, but i might as well bring it up again because god i love this movie
something a friend and i noticed is mirabel looking at isabela longingly and was reaching out to her in waiting on a miracle
she retracts it then, of course, but...in the end, in what else can i do...
here, mirabel's able to understand a little more
and because of that, she's able to reach out to her oldest sister
she's able to do that and so much more
and with mirabel reaching out, isabela reaches back too :')
I know this movie is recent-ish, but the lack of an Encanto series is still crazy to me.
Like, it doesn't even need crazy magical lore, it can be episodic, it's so simple:
Family dynamics not seen in the movie
Why doesn't Mirabel have a gift (theory of her being the next matriarch being the most obvious one)
Seeing the other rooms
Bruno's new interactions with the townspeople and the family
FERAL ISABELA!!!
Dolores and Mariano
Unexplored trauma with Dolores and Camilo, GET THEM THEIR SOLO SONGS!!!!
The dads' sides of the family
Abuela Alma trying to do better
Childhoods of the triplets
On that same note, how the couples met each other.
More on Alma and Pedro. Etc
And if you wanted new stuff, HAVE THEM OPEN THE ENCANTO TO LET MORE PEOPLE IN, new technology that Encanto doesn't have access to, new ideas and cultures - it can even bring drama if the new people try to do bad things and the family goes all x-men on them.
It's so many possibilities that if they never do it it's a damn shame.
