15 Thoughts I Had While Watching Disney’s “Encanto”

Hi, I'm Sarah and I've had songs from Disney's hit movie "Encanto" swirling around in my noggin rent-free for days. I'm not a huge Disney buff and really watched the movie because of all of the chatter around it but here are 15 thoughts I had while watching the movie on Disney +.

A few spoilers ahead so if you haven't seen the movie yet, be warned. Here's the trailer:

1. I want a candle with butterflies on it.
2. Why does Mirabel's casita respond to her when my apartment won't bring me my shoes? Apartment??
3. "The Family Madrigal" is the catchiest character exposition.
4. Can anxiety be a gift? That would be mine. Especially having to walk to a door in front of the whole town, who's expecting a literal miracle. No thank you.
5. The animators really flexed by making Mirabel's skirt swish so much and I am here for it.
6. Luisa's song is one of the most relatable Disney songs I've heard in a long time.
7. Must pause movie to get snacks.
8. "We Don't Talk About Bruno" solidifies the fact that Lin-Manuel Miranda is a musical genius.
9. Mariano's walk...is a strut??
10. Can I also make a cactus flower punch my ex in the nose?
11. Honestly. this disastrous family dinner is an example of why you can't tell cousins anything secret.
12. Disney's back at it with the heartbreaking love stories that feature no dialogue. "Dos Oruguitas" deserves an award.
13. There's the soft turning point, Disney! Mirabel's "gift" is that her grandfather sent her to help the family!
14. This overly-caffeinated kid able to hammer multiple nails within 5 seconds is a mood.
15. Aw Mirabel is magic! So cute, will sing these songs at random times of the day.

We're apparently all talking about Bruno since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" charted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts this week.
