Comments

Jujo online

Heeeeeyyyyy I knew you would get here at some point lol

Penny

Omg I’m so excited for this!!!!

Penny

Luca!!!

Deshawn Smith

Hey Luke, the demon slayer movie is out in the wild if you wanna watch it 😈 *not the cam version, high quality HD*

fry

if you do moana and hamilton after encanto then you’re lowkey on a lin manuel miranda journey cause he made all the songs for all three 😭

Maks Lesniewski

A not-so-fun fact: While the movie doesn't state it outright, the events in abuela's flashbacks were most likely inspired by a real-life war called The Thousand-Days' War, which took place in Colombia between 1899 and 1902.

nah i gotta go get food for this one gang

There are not many good new Disney movies. Here all good ones since 2010: - Tangled - Wreck-It Ralph - Big Hero 6 - Inside Out - Zootopia - Moana/Vaiana - Coco - Encanto - Inside Out 2 Frozen has great songs, but the story is really meh...

Alexandre Mortier

Great idea for a series and journey! Personally, as a professional screenwriter who only discovered all Disney movies in film school and was stunned at how good some of them were, I have to say my personal tops would be Hercules, Mulan, Tarzan, Nightmare Before Christmas, Emperor’s New Groove, Wall-e, Tangled, Coco, Up, Zootopia, … damn there are even more I’d like to mention. No idea which ones Luke has seen though 😅

Neo

Sounds like a solid idea! I would definitely check out the first Moana, Frozen, Tangled, and Coco for some fun songs

Darsy Smith

Begging for Hamilton as well! Glad to see this!

Shaunie Girl

I think you should watch Coco next but there's Brave, Tangled, Luca, Wall E..... so glad you liked this. It ends up being a great movie..... HAPPY NEW YEAR LUKE

Jonah Vianello

oh man, there are sooo many good disney movies (mainly the older ones lol), but coco is one of the actually good modern disney films, so definately give that one a watch, and also pixar movies are goated.

dartcp

Would it be possible to create a Google Sheet or something similar, a list showing what you've already watched and what you haven't, so that we don't keep seeing suggestions for things you already know under every reaction? We could link to it as the first comment under each reaction.

shlomit5577

Luke stop crying now I'm crying 😭

Lavenderdazed

Omg I just finished the We Dont Talk About Bruno reaction and now I see this!!! I AM SAT

Devi.7

The Disney Adults Are Comin' Through For This One Boys!!!

Kassh

Next up should be Moana from a music perspective

Tinkerdoodle

Oh man, I’m so freaking stoked you are doing this! As soon as I got the alert I knew what I was going to be doing on New Years!! Can’t wait for Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda did the music for it and Encanto. I think he has a song or two in Moana 2.

Nikkelz

I'm glad you checked out the movie Luke! While alot of the songs are beautifully done they hit so much more impactful when you have context for the lyrics.

linked winters

23:41 "he's like all happy like: 😐"

Gianna

Encanto was a great movie! And I love the idea of ​​you reacting to more Disney movies! If you like them, why limit yourself? There are incredible movies from other studios too. I personally think you'd love DreamWorks "Wild Robot" (it touches on themes of motherhood and nature beautifully). Or even some of Disney's more underrated films like "Treasure Planet" (one of my favorites). There are many you'd surely enjoy! I hope you keep bringing this kind of content more often because I would love it! 😊 And in case you didn't know, the composer of the songs in Encanto is Lin-Manuel Miranda—creator of Hamilton—another reaction I'm eagerly awaiting! Anyway, Happy New Year! 🪄

Kaleb

Wild Robot is amazing!!

Kaleb

He would get absolutely ruined by Ufotable if he did, gotta wait for it to at least be out legit even if doing the reaction to a pirated version

Deshawn Smith

if it's patreon only it should be fine, i was just letting it be known

Gianna

It's incredible! It made me cry because of how beautiful it is, I hope the sequel comes out soon 🥹

linked winters

I think you should record the intros in post as to not disrupt the flow of the movie and then edit them in. That way you don't have to pretend to have not skipped back, you don't have to pretend to be happy in your youtube voice since songs come in at emotional moments, I feel like this way could really be taking you out of it

Cyber

+1 to that. i have lost track of what has been seen on streams vs patreon vs youtube, or not at all. And we'd love to make recommendations but sometimes it's hard to find the right filters

Ranol

Such a nice movie to end the year 😭 I cried along with you, thanks for this gift! See you next year, Luke 💕

m

yes I agree

Cyber

the inside out movies and coco and maybe big hero 6 will BREAK luke... and he's definitely going to inadvertently apply "the luke curse"

Dairenji

YES!!! SUCH A GOOD MOVIE

Cyber

yeah, let's not rush him to watch a lower quality version. he should wait for the crunchy roll high def perfect final version (They usually take some time to tweak some animation fixes or fluidity fixes afftrer movies are out sometimes based on audience feedback, so let's wait for that! i want him to see the movie as intended and ENJOY IT perfectly, not rush something for our sake :)

Cyber

one thing i would suggest, luke, is maybe turning on the captions. not necessarily CC but just english captions, and it will help with audience like me who are hard of hearing especially with accents. but also it will help with the fact that (and i say this in the happiest way possible) : you're a loud one :D and i love that about you but that makes the movie sound lower audio volume, and it's hard to balance both you and the movie audio in mono-audio systems or computer browsers lol

shlomit5577

One of the best movie reactions I have seen 👏👏great work Luke

Cyber

i agree. i think luke should just enjoy hte movie in the moment and then make the intro in post for youtube, since it sometimes takes away from the emotional beat of what they're feeling in the moment of the song.

Deshawn Smith

It's literally the crunchyroll version, and not low quality at all

Sébastien Montibert

Dolores knew Bruno was into the walls all the time, and she can't keep a secret, BUT... we don't talk about Bruno !

ess

Thanks for this!

Mary Hatch

Moana and Hamilton are must watches. Coco is also a must watch. There are so many good Disney films that are like this, that really teach a deeper lesson than just what’s on the surface.

Tasel

The working theory is the reason why Mirabel didn't receive her gift is she's the next holder of Abuela's miracle. Allowing the family to continue on into the next generations. So until it was gone, it couldn't be recreated. Also of note, there's a new area at Animal Kingdom that will be this entire area. It's replacing DinoLand USA. They are recreating the village (and Casa Madrigal), and making it South American themed.

Mary Hatch

Yeah, this format wouldn’t work for Hamilton 😅 that whole show is songs

Nate Ming

If we're sticking to recent Disney, def go with Moana--made me feel like a Proud Island Son when I watched in the theater with my mom

dartcp

I suggest Coco, by the way. You'll love it too.

Curtis Haley

Whenever I watch Encanto I always end up in tears.

m

Watch frozen next! Also react to Encanto live at the Hollywood bowl please, the whole cast sang live super cool!

face

DEMON SLAYER MOVIE IS OUTTT!!!! HD!!

Somedude Watchintv

20:03 it's never explicitly stated but my theories are 1. She was never given a gift as an object lesson for the family or 2. Her gift is specifically managing the magic which is directly influenced by the family dynamics like how her aunt's emotions effect the weather. In either case I think she was also chosen to succeed her grandmother as head of the household.

YESS

2:07:45 to be fair to mirabelle's mom, that's the one time i kinda GET IT, she saw her daughter is alive (checked on her first), told her not to move (because you're not supposed to move after an injury just in case of a concussion or internal bleed), but you can hear in the background someone was yelling her mom's name to come help, so like a medic, she had to assess the situation and tell her to stay put while she checked on the others to see if there's anyone with a more severe urgent injury. So does it suck after all we've seen in the movie? sure, even when the parents spoke up to the grandma multiple times about taking it easy on mirabelle, there's also the cultural "honor" and "respect your elders" , coupled with generational trauma that makes it very hard to completely stand up fully to someone who outranks you in the family, until a critical inciting incident. But this time, i kinda get that the mom had to step away, it doesn't take too much from the fact that she cares about her daughter, but mirabelle was in 1 piece, just shaken up, and in her mind, someone could be impaled or something across the room, in a more critical situation, you know? The unknown damages vs the known the damages. also, small tiny bit of animation detail: right before the mom starts looking for mirabelle, you can see her picking up a vial from a cabinet. That's implied to be pain killer medicine, or iodine or something, and she was salvaging it right before going back to mirabelle to tend to her.

Gilgabro

The credits are this long because mirabel has such a crazy skirt. Gotta respect the animators.

HesGravity

I'm so glad you're taking us on the Disney journey and I'm looking forward to your reactions to Moana, Moana 2, Frozen, Frozen 2, and many more.

Sugasweetmerciful

Luke, I think Mirabel responds immediately to Isabella‘s cactus and confession the way she does because Bruno put pressure on her as well. Think about it. You’re the one kid in this family without a gift and someone just told you that you’re the key to holding it all together??? He may have been well-intentioned but he gave her a singular focus. The vision told her to go and get a hug from her sister not listen to her sing about her new plant that she created lol so I think it makes a difference in how Mirabel originally entered the scene. She got there eventually. 🤗

Cyber

Fun fact, disney underestimated Luisa's appeal. They created so much merch for mirabelle and isabella, for the "typical disney princess", but all the girls AND BOYS wanted Louisa merch, especially the oldest siblings, and they were sold out instantly and disney had to play catch up to create more luisa merch retroactively, to catch up for the demand.

Noobymines

Tarzan is probably one if if not my favorite Disney movie. I would love to watch it with you. If not live as my work interferes a lot with your streams, then after on here.

AdamPacio.art

I thought I would never use my degree in Spanish Literature again, until Encanto came along. LOL. Mirabel means Beholder Of Wonders, or Beholder of Beauty, but with the old fashioned sense of Beauty being something magical that takes the breath away, a/k/a 'Wonder' or 'Awe'. Mirabel is the only character who wears glasses. Literally, out of everyone, her personal bias has been 'corrected' to allow her to see clearly. Her glasses are rimmed in green, a color usually reserved for the wild or the forbidden magic, but here used exclusively to mean 'the future', which is a kind of 'forbidden vision', and carries a heavy price (Poor Bruno). Encanto is very absoiute on this point - Green = Vision at a Price. One last point about the green, the sands of time, and the glasses -- Bruno uses the Sands of Time to summon the Green Vision of the Future, but it is cloudy and never received well. Mirabel is his magical opposite -- the Green on her provides the Frame, but the "Sands" of time for her are the lenses to correct her vision. Bruno parts the sands of Time to be granted a vision, but Mirabel's magic unites the Sands of Time to grant clarity to the Present. Her magic is always her Clarity, but the House cannot give her a room, or special anything, because her power is to See Wonders Clearly, and for that she cannot use special powers, they would only get in the way of her understanding What Actually Is. Mirabel is the New Matriarch. We know that Time still passes for the Madrigal Family - Abuela ages for us in the show, and so do the children. Abuela will not survive forever, and the foundation which worked for Abuela's generation would not serve the next generations about to come, which Mirabel has been chosen to guide. When Abuela finally passes at the end of her life, Mirabel will inherit Abuela's room in the center of the house. Many characters interact with Casita, the House, but if you watch, the House only ever answers or speaks directly to two characters - Abuela, and Mirabel. Further evidence that both women are the Matriarchs of the Madrigal Clan, the Keepers of Casita, each to their own Generation. There are many, many more wonderful points of literary analysis that you can jump into for Encanto, which is what makes this a lovely conversation topic. But I'll let other superfans jump in and cover the ones I've skipped. Oh, and Dolores? Just one note there. When you can't help but hearing and NOTICING a sound as minor as an eye twitching behind closed doors across the house, then you can't help it, you hear and know EVERYTHING. Whether you want to or not. Which means that even if you TRY to keep everyone's secrets, so very, very much of what you hear ALL THE TIME are secrets and sins and crimes and conspiracy, you just lose track of how you heard something, whether it's common knowledge, or personal superpower-fueled insight. The ONLY secrets you are going to be ABLE to keep are the really, insanely deep ones. Because they are the only ones with the emotional weight to them to remind you that no, we don't talk about Bruno. And besides, you know already about everthing Bruno is doing anyways, so you already know he's harmless, just give your uncle a break. You all know how crazy this family is.

SidekickSteph

Just watched Surface Pressure on YT, then came straight here!!! Can’t wait!!!

SidekickSteph

Tangled and Coco are two must watches, two of the best.

Aaliyah Fountain

I love this new journey some other great Disney movies to check out is Tangled, Princess and the frog

SidekickSteph

One of the best movies ever made IMO, it’s perfection on every level.

Oatmeal1504

58:56 "Louisa ran off, where is she hiding?!" Bro where are YOU hiding? Happy New years to everyone, btw

Spidergirls Mama

Joined for the Disney journey. When you watch Hamilton, be sure to put on captions of they aren't too distracting for you. Great job!! Fun reaction!

ruffboiMags

She keeps secrets all the time all day every day. She must, given she probably knows every secret in the encanto. But it does mean that I'm sure it's extremely hard for her to keep a secret she feels like she SHOULD share, ESPECIALLY one she feels like she should tell Abuela or the family.

SidekickSteph

One of my favorite things about this story, is Mirabel ended up doing everything she sang about in Waiting on a Miracle. She moves the mountains when they crack, she makes new things grow with Isa, she heals what’s broken and shows the family something new.

DrShadow

Greetings from a Colombian. This is a lovely filmb about my country, Colombia, an it has many references to its history; it was great to see your reaction.

Mew

This was an absolute Blast to watch with you Luke! Thanks again! I sat here New Years Eve enjoying your reaction and honestly With your words at the end. I think this was a smart way to record your reactions so it would be a first time reaction. Thanks Again Luke! and I look forward to more future Movies! Maybe Check out a movie called "Nimona" it's on Netflix and Bring Tissues.

Kanna kamui

the Disney movies is a great idea but you shouldn't make it Disney only, there are great movies in DreamWorks too, i think you should check them too

Snowflake

If you haven‘t seen it i recomment Big Hero 6. I realy like that movie

Somedude Watchintv

Mirabel wasn't empathetic to Isabella because she is also a bit bitter. She isn't perfect and from her perspective her sister's life is a perfect antithesis for her own, she can't relate and she's blinded by her frustration.

Tinkerdoodle

LOVE the way you did this! And now I won’t lie, would love you to do the Taylor New Heights episode like this!

Izzy

Completely feel your annoyance but cut granny some slack.. she's had the responsibility of this entire town for years as a single mother at that.. so I can understand her wanting the gift ceremony to go perfect as it means that the magic is still strong and the people will be safe and then after putting all her efforts on the engagement which means the family growing with more gifts but at the same time my granny would never overlook any of us she's who I aspire to be

KayJayO

not enough people in here saying Coco

AgRoseCrystal

Funny thing, but technically the part of Abuela's past is a song. It is called 'Dos Oruguitas' and was from Abuelo Pedro to Abuela Alma.

Godzy Lasserre

Well, recommend without hesitation Up, Tangled, Moana 1, Frozen 1, Coco and The Incredibles 1 & 2 (even thought these last two have no songs). Zootopia could be a good one as well.

Tinkerdoodle

Wild Robot ripped my heart out - so absolutely devastating and beautiful.

Cynavox

This is a perfect way to do a reaction imo. You don't leave anyone out. Those who don't have patreon still get the songs. Those with patreon get everything. I love it

Idun V

Youtube is definitely gonna want a reaction to Dos Oruguitas

Wonderxfull

Local British man loses mind over beautiful story, 2025 colorized.

Lucas Prestes

I think Adams comment enters in way more detail than I ever will do so check his comment please, but a theory I believe to be true is that Mirabel didn’t receive a gift because she was chosen as the new Matriarch, the one who will keep the miracle alive, so she doesn’t have a gift ,like her grandmother, or rather her gift is the house, symbolic represented when she puts the doorknob at the end. I loved this reaction and can’t wait for the next one! Moana has some good songs, like “You’re welcome”, but I’d tone my expectations down a bit its not on the same level as Encanto IMO. Really excited for Hamilton, Lin Manuel Miranda is a musical genius really!

Stacia Kilpatrick

I would love to see you react to these if you haven’t seen them: Moana, Frozen, Big Hero 6, Hamilton, Tick Tick Boom (my all time favorite musical), In The Heights, Turning Red, Coco. There are so many things you can journey into!

Finelia Braun

Yay! I love most Disney Movies, glad to see you react to some of them! <3

Chase

This was an amazing reaction to an amazing movie. I second the people in the comments that say you should watch Coco. I don't know if I can remember a movie that made me FEEL as much as Coco did.

Zen Reacts

Generational trauma is a hell of a drug. Also Lilo and Stitch if you haven't seen it

Jamie

Thank you for watching the full movie before watching all the songs independently! I feel like a lot of the times, without the context of the story, the songs don't hit as hard. Also, seconding everyone else saying Coco next! Holy cow did that movie make an impact on me as a grown adult haha

RenySJD

Watch the special features, especially the one with Lin working on the songs with the actresses. It’s interesting to see the people playing the parts, how he communicated the vision. Also the one where he’s incorporating traditional Columbian music & artists into the film. The grandmother is played by a famous older Columbian actress. The Spanish ballad was by a young Columbian singer (who also sings in English) Sebastian Yatra. You would like his music, it’s upbeat not just ballads. He has a great duet with John Legend.

kayie

During We Don’t Talk About Bruno, Dolores sings “it’s like I can hear him now” in the background after her second verse. @1:25:30.

Jeline Nanashi

I love this format! Please continue to do the movie and record the reaction videos to the songs at the same time! I feel like we're getting a sneak peek of Luke behind the scenes 😊 I love Disney and can't wait to see where this takes you! My vote is Coco next! Thanks for taking us with you!

Silvered Fox

I'm so glad you decided to record this and share it with us! This is the best of both worlds

Nellyk

Encanto is hands down one of my top favorite disney movies, no matter how many times i watch this movie i still end up tearing up so much. Loved that you got to react to it and we got to see your reaction to it! Although like two other have suggested in the comments, i think it would be better if you pre-record the youtube song introductions so they dont have to interrupt the whole movie experience. And maybe adjust your or the movie audio settings, because your volume is very loud and the movie volume was very low lol.

Nn33138 .

Well, long story short: I'm glad I was right about your values ^^ glad I could see your reaction

Stavik96

1:06:31 Reminds me of a manhua I read. A family was made to be vessels of 2 different powers, but this led to the kids being experimented on by their parents in quite brutal ways. One of the sons wanted to protect his little brother by sealing away one of the powers, this led to him being thrown out for being useless which fred him from the torture but on the other hand being ostracized like that led to him being bullied by strangers for being abandoned which ultimately led to him killing himself.

Silvered Fox

Wreck it Ralph, Nimona, Big Hero 6, Moana, and Frozen are my suggestions for next watches. This was lovely (added my comment before watching because I was so excited to see that you watched this and also found a way to include the songs!) Great mix of both song reaction opportunities as well as getting to watch the songs in context so you don't spoil yourself and then we all get everything! Hope you're having a great new year and I am excited for this next chapter of the journey! Also not to be too hopeful, but if this journey ever does open up the route for some disney series there are some anime adjacent things I think you'd both really love and also would have fans for. The Owl House, Gravity Falls and Avatar the last Airbender are just... amazing experiences and I can't recommend them enough.

Silvered Fox

Just vibe to the flow and do a post youtube recorded intro to the songs as they come? That way you can just enjoy the whole flow (and definitely might need to try that out for Dos Orugitas or youtube will be very sad if they miss that one) with a 'Hey everyone song incoming here's the basics! cut to song' style. You'll find something that works for you I'm sure I think this was a great middle ground to get everyone everything. It was also great getting to see your second watch of We don't talk about Bruno with context after getting to enjoy it the first time (i'm glad you did since I'm glad it got you reacting to the movie!) Very tired and chattery so sorry for the multiple essays but this was a lovely way to kick off the new year and thank you for being you

Jolis Ortiz

I joined your patreon just to cry with you. I'm not Columbian (I'm Puerto Rican), but I can say this movie still hits pretty hard (Coco hits even harder for me, I really hope you react to it next). Matriarchs are a huge thing in Hispanic/Latino households, so anyone talking back to Abuela, be it good intentions or otherwise, is still a sign of disrespect. A bit messed up, but it explains why Mirabel's family doesn't stick up for her as quickly. At least, that's how I see it. I might be projecting haha

TLKDesu

Although not a musical movie I want to see you react to Treasure Planet if you haven't seen it before

Dj

Replace the b in mirabel to c for miracle

AttackRunRepeat

I literally can NOT watch this movie without crying.

Michael Sancomb

I love this movie so much! You made it even more special to me seeing you especially your sweet emotional reactions! thank you so much for this video!

Luetop

Maybe its to late because its a christmas movie, but i have to recommend Klaus to you. Its not a musical, but I also love the moral in the movie and think if you loved this one you would also love Klaus.

Isa

YOOO this was so awesome to watch along with you!! It shows how much you care about family bonds aswell and makes you reflect on your own situation. Beautiful message for sure! Miss the days it was huge on tiktok ahah

Angie

I have watched this movie quite a few times and I still cry. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. some of the characters fit in the psychological rubric of Family Systems theory which is " a psychological framework that examines the dynamics and relationships within families, emphasizing the interconnectedness of family members and the impact of these relationships on individual behavior and emotional well-being. Originating in the 1950s, it draws from various disciplines, including psychoanalysis and developmental psychology, and was influenced by the disruptions in family structures due to historical events like World War II. The theory posits that family members are emotionally interdependent, meaning changes or conflicts involving one member can affect the entire family unit." I know this is about a Disney movie journey... ,and since Disney bought Pixar... one way or another... please react to Turning Red. If u haven't seen it, its got a few really interesting themes. it came out the same year as Encanto. they are still a couple of my favorite movies.

ruffboiMags

Replace the b for "miracel" you mean.

ruffboiMags

Plus she was clearly very hyperfocused on the hug fixing things.

Angie

exactly!

ruffboiMags

Julieta in her defense is the closest thing to a doctor or healer they probably HAVE. Even if she can't actually help she probably feels obligated to try. Mirabel shook her head that she wasn't hurt and someone was calling for Julieta urgently, and Mirabel is nearly an adult (15-16ish). She clearly didn't want to go but in an emergency sometimes you have to do things like walk away from your child.

Angie

yep!

Molly Cornelius

It's not an injury or illness. It's just because her eyeballs are a different shape. That's what makes a person nearsighted or farsighted.

Molly Cornelius

Disney took a whole team to Columbia to research the culture to get the representation right. Apparently the funny thing about the coffee kid is that kids really do drink coffee in Columbia. It's just an inextricable part of the national culture. Yes, the cactus only grew when Isabella spoke her true feelings aloud. Yes Mirabel has butterflies on her blouse & skirt from the beginning. The song in Spanish, "Dos Orugitas" is about two caterpillars that fall in love and are afraid of change & losing each other but are pushed forward into the future because the world keeps changing. You should listen to the translated song & read the lyrics. They're important. The other song in Spanish is about Columbian pride & how Colombia is an encanto - an enchanted place of wonder. Surface Pressure is also performed live & kindof jazzy - very tough & sexy, by the same actress who sings it in the movie. It's fkking impressive. You should do a YT reaction to it. Abuela is a personification of resilience, but also grief, ptsd, survivor's guilt, matriarchal loneliness, compulsive control issues, political/refugee trauma, and generational trauma. She's breaking the family because she's so broken herself. Her need for safety was the foundation of the first Casita, but no amount of magic, excellence, or control could make her feel safe so long as she buried her trauma and kept her fears and doubts to herself instead of letting her family and community help her heal. The new foundation of the rebuilt Casita is a miracle renewed with self- determination and family & community cooperation and support. Abuela doesn't have to hold everything together herself. She doesn't have to dictate how things go to protect the encanto. She can trust her family & her community. They're all healing and stronger for it.

Molly Cornelius

Yes. Moana is also this wonderful. Lin Manuel Miranda is a frikkin genius.

Ameth

1:33:00 yeah the sister with super hearing during her song said she sometimes hears him mumbling in the walls

Antestarr

The music for Encanto was composed and written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. He also wrote the music for Moana, Hamilton, and In the Heights, so since you enjoyed the songs from Encanto, those are probably worth checking out!

Ameth

1:53:20 I think Mirabel is having tunnel vision because she was just told the "answer" to fix the family, and her whole life's goal has been to do something good for the family. I think she thinks she's finally on that last step and getting overly tunnel visioned

Kenneth Hoerz

Lin-Manuel Miranda who did all the original music for the movie is also the Writer, Director, and Lead Actor of the Hamilton as well. He wrote this after he did his musical. The best thing about these movies is not the bigger story told, or some adventure but the moral/deeper meaning behind all of it. It's the lesson that is meant to be learned. That is also what is so great about Frozen, and Moana as well.

Ange Neon

Thank you for uploading when you watch Encanto here, very appriciated <3 Also i think you mentioned something in this video if you can see Bruno more times.. in the beginning, while the family is prepping for Antonio's gift ceremony, and Mirabel is walking in with the big "not special, special" basket, Bruno is seen if looking at the right spot, sneaking around upstairs, hiding.

Amanda

FWIW that place, Salento and the Cocora Valley is one of the most amazingly beautiful places on earth. Colombia is a wonderful wonderful place to visit.

Amanda

Did someone answer you about it being a donut?? It’s an arepa!!!!!!! Yum :)

Amanda

*Colombia

SuSa Ackles

OMG not really disney i think but WATCH the prince of egypt! Sooo good Or Anastasia

FaerieRose

Don't forget the classics on your Disney journey. Please watch Fantasia; it's a piece of art.

Dj

i intentionally spelled it that way

SuSa Ackles

Luke at this point u r on your period HAHA U were like „omg is that a donut“ or „omg this breakfast looks amazing“ And u simply couldnt stop crying HAHAHAHA And also got really quickly pissed at granny Hahaha so funny

Aiofe

Yay!!! Encanto- but we are not going to let up on you to watch Hamilton as it aligns with your hiphop journey as well as Dreamgirls because that aligns with the Beyonce journey. 💕

fry

@mary hatch i think for hamilton it would work if he did it in parts like he does for album reactions because it’s all songs

Melanie Sinclair

👀 if this turns into a musical movies in general journey down the road PLEASE DO SINNERS. The music is AMAZING and so is the story.

Jae Right

Okay! I’m here!!!!! I found you through Kendrick- first video, stayed for Beyoncé, and now, I’m never leaving for Disney musicals.

Aiofe

Encanto is one of the best of the New Disney because the big bad isn’t some evil step mother or witch. Its generational trauma and the pressure we put on ourselves, and suffering under burdens we think we cannot share with anyone. Abuela (granny) made many mistakes, but she was left with the weight of not only her family, but the entire village, all looking towards her for guidance and safety and security. And it happened when she was very young, and her partner was lost. A new mother, with literally no one to turn to because everyone is looking to her to figure it out, and the miracle was born out of her grief and pain. Encanto is about the bravery found in forgiveness and asking for help and hearing one another. - go back and listen to Dos Orugitas again with subtitles in English. Its a beautiful song.

Aiofe

LMM is not the Director of Hamilton, that is his long-time collaborator and close friend Thomas Kail. LMM created the book, music and lyrics; he is the composer & star.

Aiofe

Maybe she was born with poor vision. That would make it genetic and not an illness or injury that can be healed.

Aiofe

That may be projection but it aint wrong. 😂 No one would dare talk back to my abuela out of fear of the chancla.

Aiofe

Lilo & Stich for sure- but not the live action😡🤬

Aiofe

I love this plan. (It won’t work with Hamilton tho.😂)

Astoria

Dunno if you know it or it was already mentioned but the animation team fought as hell for Louisa to look like that. The head team wanted her to be more feminine like Isabella because well muscular woman? Oh no! End of story they did everything to keep her the way we have her in the film and after the official dolls came out Louisa's was one of the first sold out. And for me, her song is best song in the film. I feel it so much and can relate to it. Little bit sad they didn't have it more clearly in the film but Bruno's room wasn't like that all the time. His door got pulled in more and more he got disconnected from the family and his actual room part got higher up to show the distance between him and the family. If you know that it feels different to see his room and all the stairs symbolism how emotionally far away you can feel from the person next to you or your whole family you're living together.

Tyler Zeringue

After Moana, if you haven't seen Frozen, Frozen 2, or Tangled, I would recommend starting there for somewhat new Disney movies

aleayarae_9794

Do you think you'll ever do a live where we could interact with your reaction in real time? Just a thought. I love your content. Thanks again!

Erin Steele

Please check out CoCo! Its another amazing Disney movie with great music & a great story!

Japania

Encanto is my favorite disney movie along with Moana, Tangled and more recently Inside out one and two. Those last two are from pixar, but i really hope you'll react to all those four. I knew you would cry watching Encanto. Glad you liked it.

_ Tajfun_

I mean he streams on twitch so you can

aleayarae_9794

Oh dang! I hadn't realized. Thanks 🥳

Taelor Elverum

Honestly this movie still makes me cry! It was so well done. I can’t wait to see how you enjoy other new Disney movies!

Stacey A.

The way I ran over here when you said you reacted to Encanto from YouTube . 🏃🏾‍♀️

Lady RedShee

So glad that you are going on a Disney journey! I agree with other commenters, you should definitely check out Moana, Frozen 1 & 2, and Tangled. Some other movies I think you should check out are Wish, Raya and the Last Dragon, Zootopia, The Princess & the Frog, and Big Hero 6. Thank you for being so genuine and caring. You are one of my all time favorite content creators because of how open your heart is. Thank you for being you. :)

John Shoemaker

Had to subscribe when I saw you were gonna do a full movie review and other Disney movies too. This song has the best music. The soundtrack is fire. Can’t wait to see other Disney reactions. Love ya bunches. Been watching since almost the beginning. One suggestion maybe turn on captions for the movies makes it a little easier for some of us. Much love. ❤️

Dan Cook

I absolutely adore encanto, no surprise that you loved it! A popular theory when this came out that iirc the film-makers confirmed is that the reason Mirabel didn't get a gift is because the miracle chose her to replace Abuela as the head of the family and the caretaker of the candle since Abuela also doesn't have a gift. Also those two are the only ones to directly talk to the casita and give it instructions. Not to mention of course that without a gift Mirabel was perfectly placed to put the family on the path to healing from the generational trauma. Such a powerful film with a lot of important messages that I know many, many people have resonated with.

ScandiHåndverk

This format worked pretty well! My only thought about it was when it comes to Hamilton, maybe don't stop to do an intro for every song during the full movie reaction, edit one in after the fact for YouTube. Otherwise that reaction will take forrrrrever 😆 So many songs. Keep the reaction and summary after each song as you feel, but the intro bit (or maybe outro/repetition bits too), edit in after each song. people will understand. Oh and Moana for sure. Both. After that? All of them.

Melissa Aaron

I have to agree with Coco. It’s fascinating and incredible, partly because of the backstory of creating it.

Stacey A.

Wait until he finds out that Beyoncé, has 2 Disney movies. 🦁🦓🐗

Melissa Aaron

Oh yes! I didn’t see anything about this in the comments, but Mirabel’s VA, Stephanie Beatriz, is Vaggie in Hazbin Hotel.

Drizma

I wouldn't bother with Frozen it's extremely over-hyped. Tangled though, that's worth watching.

Drizma

Just checked, the crack in Bruno's wall is there at the beginning

Drizma

This is honestly probably my favorite movie. I almost cried twice watching it the first time. During Dos Orugitas and when the town showed up to help.

Jae Right

Every time you switch into YouTube mode, I’m reminded of Clark Kent taking off his glasses to turn into Superman. Love it.

Jae Right

Hamilton is completely sung through. This format will not work. It’s going to need to be divided, like a visual album reaction. Eight parts has worked well. Can’t wait.

Martin Vaclavik

Really the perfect movie to start your Disney journey on, Moana and Coco are probably the next toptier contenders! However, if I may 2 things... 1) Would be great to put on english subtitles for people who may have difficulty hearing and also for the many people who may not understand that well since english may not be their first language 2) maybe cut out the youtube intros and outros from the Patreon version it feels so out of place to hear "goodbye see you next time" like 5 times during the movie xD (You can keep the thought going into and out of the songs of course)

Hodge House

Thank you! Can't stand that movie 😂 Tangled is my JAM!

Hodge House

Moana, Tangled, and The Princess and The Frog are my votes. I'm sure he'll do Frozen but honestly, that movie is "meh" to me. But, like my other least fave "Snow White," "Frozen" is a classic.

Kadda

I've been following you on YouTube for so long, mainly because of Naruto, but THAT was finally the reason I decided to follow you on Patreon! And I loved your reaction to Encanto!!! I cried with you every time! Please keep it up! ❤️❤️ I recommend Coco, Moana, Wall-E, Elemental, and Onward! Onward in particular is totally underrated. The movie was released during COVID and didn't get nearly enough attention!

Wirk Leon

Oh this is surprising!

Wirk Leon

1:36:50 Bruno thinking of telenovela plots that are way too tame! True telenovelas always devolve into dating direct siblings by mistake, becoming rich after murdering babies and reviving someone's long lost twin evil sister!

Aaren YASS

Coco, Princess and the Frog for sure. We should have Luke do a dreamworks and Pixar journey too, there's some real gems.

Aaren YASS

Yep. Coco, too. Last movies to leave me wrecked from Disney. They really had something here.

Aaren YASS

The food her Mama makes she said is "Arepa con queso". There's a few ways to have it, but it's delish. Fresh bread (the kind of bread/ flatbread can vary) and cheese, universal tasty certified 😂

Aaren YASS

"you tellin me you (Bruno) made a story where there's a romance story about an aunt that can't remember she's the aunt in a relationship with her nephew" ... The theories this caused 😂

Aaren YASS

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but you brought it up. The man Isabella was foing to marry, he looks a bit similar to the grandpa of the family. Him being selected as a potential groom is on purpose. If you look back, you will see that since she was born, Abuela had her to the hip. Young Granny and Isabella look very similar too, so the Nan saw herself in her granddaughter. She wanted her to be happy, perfect, desirable and marry a man similar to the one she loved (and have 5 kids) all the things she wanted to do, but couldn't. She was projecting directly on Isabella, so you could say more than Mirabelle, she felt the most pressure of the whole family as she wasn't a representation of the family, but the head Granny.

GutterSnipe1

Do Hamilton -- but it is a musical --> very little speaking.,

m

no he’s gonna watch it full he said, we just have to hope he will make the YouTube intro in a different video on his own

sauce

Did you forget rosa fron 99 is also vaggie in hazbin hotel

Jeffrey Jones

Please watch coco and princess and the frog

Moon

Yess you should def react to Hamilton! Loved your Helpless & Satisfied reactions on YouTube

sara

Moana and Coco are both excellent, but I would put the Frozens at the top of the list. Obviously Frozen was a cultural phenomenon, the music is great, and Idina Menzel (original Elphaba) was incredible. But, I think the family relationships and the characters' internal struggles will really speak to you (/wreck you at points, tbh). IMO there are a lot of parallels between Elsa and Rumi from KPDH Also, Bruno singing "let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it goooo" in "All of You" at the end of this movie was definitely a nod to "Let It Go" from Frozen. If I'm not mistaken they even list it in the end credits of Encanto

sara

Just watched your "You're Welcome" video... I'd note that for some reason, (the sing-along version of) "Let It Go" was posted on the Disney UK channel rather than the regular DisneyMusicVevo channel, and it has almost double the views that "You're Welcome" has -- 3.5 billion views vs 1.8 billion. In case that number sways your opinion at all 😁

Kassiopeia

Fun Fact: All Songs from Encanto, Moana AND Hamilton are from the same Songweiter, Lin-Manuel Miranda. I look forward to your reactions to those! and its not Disney, but please check out How to Train your Dragon, if you haven't!!

Bubbles

I second watching Tangled, Coco, Frozen, and Inside Out if you haven't seen them already : )

Bubbles

I second this. I think he'd like the familial themes in Frozen.

Melissa Aaron

There’s an interesting backstory on Coco. Disney tried to trademark “Day of the Dead,” which is a giant Mexican holiday and both solemn and fun. It would be like trademarking “Christmas.” So creepy and offensive at the same time, and very obvious where I live (Southern California). There’s a cartoonist, Lalo Alcaraz, who did a bitter drawing of “Muerto Mouse” showing how ridiculous and offensive it was. You know what Disney did? They hired him. They actually hired Lalo and told him, “tell us everything and add stuff in.” The results are that Coco is really, really good, way better than if they’d decided to ignore him. (He said the one thing he couldn’t convince them about was the abuela (grandma) taking her slipper off and throwing it at the kids. Evidently, it’s a thing.

Kirsten Grove

Have you considered watching Encanto Live at the Hollywood Bowl? Its amazing to watch the cast come together!❤️

Sarah Biglow

I came from YouTube because I wanted to see your reaction because I love this movie too! Love to see Moana reaction (music by Lin Manuel again).

Coldy Snow

I also came from Youtube (Surface Pressure Reaction). Its the first time I'm on Patreon and I dont regret it A BIT. PLEASE do this in future!! Watch ALL these great stuff!! Coco, Moana, Sing (& Sequel), Elements, Frozen (& Sequel), and so on. There are SOOOO many great movies out there. You're so real, so emotional and just authentic... I love to see your reactions and hear youre thoughts. And I would love to take this journey with you. Best greetings & wishes from Germany ♥

Amani

I have had many a cries to Surface Pressure, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m “gifted” a lot of responsibility and emotional burden because I am each of my parents’ most “put together” child. 😮‍💨

Zolveig

This is a very clever way of doing things. I’ve watched many song reactions, including Encanto and they’re often great but the confusion of not knowing what’s going on sometimes takes away from it a bit. Doing song reaction while watching the movie means you know who the characters are and where they are in the story and it makes it way more emotional and meaningful. I subscribed to watch the whole reaction. I’d love to see you react to Coco.

QU33NDR4G0N

I would love to see you go through the Descendants movies as well!

Katie White

I sincerely hope you continue with the Disney journey. I loved this reaction. I joined your Patreon just to watch the Encanto reaction. Please consider Coco, Frozen, and Moana.

HappyDoodads

Considering he has two boys, I have a sneaking suspicion he must've watched How to Train your Dragon already 😅

SnicklePhritz702

So, if you watch the door to the home after she places the doorknob, it has Mirabel in the front with her family in the background. I think that this is her door, and her gift is her family. As the new candle holder, the house recognizes this time that Mirabel is completing the home, and the family have all acknowledge her gift to bring them together. The doorknob is their amendment to the candle for them and the candle to make things right and make the house feel like home, not just a room feel like a home.

Cryptic Bizhiins

NEED you to watch Coco, Moana (at least the first), Frozen (1 AND 2, I think you’ll like the second one more), Tangled. It’s hard to tell where your Disney movie journey paused before jumping on over to Encanto? If you slowly stopped around the Disney Renaissance (90s) or if you stopped after around the last cartoon princess movie (Princess And The Frog)??? I’m honestly the kind of person who’d enjoy even rewatching the classics with you, so the more the merrier in my opinion. Just when I thought I’d watched a scene enough times that it wouldn’t make me cry anymore your reaction would just bring those tears back!

Caroline Vitanza

LUUUKKKKEEE this has me SO PSYCHED!!! I'm a Swiftie and a big Disney movie fan. This is going to be incredible. Some of my faves Inside Out (both of them) Coco Moana Finding Nemo and Finding Dory Turning Red Sooooo many more amazing options!! If you enjoy the Hamilton stage show, you should also watch the Newsies performance on Disney+. It's one of the most amazing shows and you would love it!! Musicals. Disney. Taylor swift. It's like you are making these for meeeeee 🫶🏼

Fifi Roses

I enjoyed this a lot! Just watched this for a second time, Encanto is my favourite Disney movie. Would love to see more Disney movie reactions please!

Ashley Pearson

I LOVE this! Encanto is a family favorite here! If you love this you should really watch Elemental, it has a great message!

Kyrie. R

I hope Coco makes the list!!

its kevbruh

you NEED to check out Coco trust me when i say that is another masterpiece of a film.

Kelly Golke

I love this movie!! And I love that you have the same reactions that I do at all the characters and story progression. You should watch the credits past where you stopped. They have the English version of Dos Oruguitas, the song from when her Abuela was young. It’s a truly beautiful song with amazing lyrics about two caterpillars becoming butterflies.

Shinigamiinochi

I don't know if you've seen any of these, but I recommend doing reactions of Coco, Inside Out, and Moana

Lyric

Yess omg. I feel like he'd love Coco.

Lyric

Super excited to see you start your Disney journey! I joined the Patreon just for that! :)

Azarisage

The name Mirabel means Wonderful❤️

Nutellzz

I think you'll love coco and Inside out 1 and 2. Coco especially based on the strong message about family in it.

Ny & Minelys

If you loved this I can’t wait for you to watch COCO it’s amazing and you will need tissues 😭😭

Georgia

I would also suggest Tangled apart from Moana and Coco

Dorran

I really want to start by saying thank you. I really hope that this works out as your next journey. Heck, I know that I joined your Patreon _because_ of your Encanto music reactions, and I just had to see the full reaction. I really appreciate how genuine you are with these, and I am looking forward to seeing you dive further into Disney. I know they get a lot of grief over a lot of things, but... if you come in with an open mind, there really is a lot of magic to be had. Mind you, I'm writing this as someone who just went to see Zootopia 2 earlier today. First off, there are lots of worthwhile movies to watch, which you've already been getting recommended. Tangled, Moana, Coco, Frozen... all of them are great. I strongly recommend that you look into things like Treasure Planet and more of the Pixar movies, which tend to be less musicals than the core Disney Princess movies are, but they are very good. Heck, Zootopia and Zootopia 2 are great movies in my opinion. Now, with Encanto... I'm one of the people who believe that Mirabel was always destined to be the new head of the household. Aside from Abuela, she's the only one who really directly interact with the house like it is a person... and part of the family. The true struggle is that Abuela's miracle was one created in trauma, which shaped how she interacted with it and everyone else in the family and community. Nice catch that Mariano looks a lot like Abuelo - I think that Abuela subconsciously picked up on that and had been trying to let Isabella have the life that she wished she'd gotten to have. But, ultimately, Abuela's miracle was brittle... fragile. It didn't have room for imperfections because Abuela was leading the family out of fear. Mirabel, though, was able to meet people where they were, not where she demanded that they be. For Mirable, Antonio's gift of being able to talk to animals is wonderful for _him,_ rather than something to figure out how to find a use for. Mirabel is a name that comes from the Spanish word for seeing, and she is the one who sees the family members for who they are. She is the new root of the miracle, and she will be able to nurture and grow it so wonderfully. Messily, but beautifully. Oh, and as for tearing up at this movie, don't worry. I'm here at 40 still crying at Dos Orugitas and the whole finale of the movie. You're not alone. You're in good company.

Senjata Witt

So glad I joined over here, to share your whole reaction. Encanto is so wonderful, and your reactions felt so familiar. This was a treat. I don't know how long I can stay. Stuff's tight in my household right now- "a buck-fifty matters" kind of tight. But this watch alone was more than worth that tiny cost. I hope that you and yours are doing well, and continue to do so. Thank you for sharing the feelz!

Ash Camo

Thank you for the reaction, I'm hoping this test went well enough that you will continue. As many are recommending, I want to put in my vote for Coco as well. If you do happen to watch a movie without much in the way of songs, you could maybe make a highlights cut for YouTube.

Soiren

So, slight correct, Antonio wasn't hiding in HER room. Mirabel lives in the nursery, Antonio, not yet having his powers, also lives in the nursery. So he was hiding in THEIR room.

Christine Browne

Ooh, yes! Inside Out - not a musical, but very very good!!

Christine Browne

Yes, it's almost an opera, but a rap(?)/hip-hop(?) one.

Soiren

So the implication is Mirabel had a gift. Her gift is the house, she is to take over as the next matriarch after abuela. Just as Abuela was the heart of the house, now Mirabel is the new heart.

Laura W.

Joined your patreon for this Disney journey! I'm very excited, thank you for doing this! 💫

Laura W.

Hopefully this test goes well! I really enjoyed this reaction 😄

TheHufflePug

You need to watch Coco as well, Luke!

Emily Jewett

Very excited for the Disney journey. I subscribed to YouTube for the Taylor swift reactions but I’m joining patreon for the Disney/movie journey I’d love to go on with you. I’ve vote for Moana soon, I see a lot for coco, bring tissues. And Hamilton has amazing music.

Pandorakp

Omg en canto and Coco are two of my favs ❤️ so excited to watch you watch these lol 😆

Eva

This movie is a perfect example how certain old school traditions in cultural families is often Generational Trauma in disguise. This paints a really beautiful picture of how an elders trauma can be passed down through many rules, expectations, and tradition and how those cycles are continued. Also shows really well how those who deviate from that often are shunned in those families but are in a weird way the glue of the family..if they choose to stay in hopes of one day being the catalyst to ending the suffering of their families generational trauma and being dedicated to that mission.

FangyFae

Someone else probably already said this. But Mirabel means wonderful/ marvelous/ miraculous and is associated with Miracles.

Maria Amado

If you haven’t, id like to see you react to both frozen films. Frozen2 is my favourite disney movie I think.

Tramper15

OMG this was awesome i wanna see you do Inside out. I know it's Pixar not disney but.

Ashley Elliott

I want to list soooo many Disney movies...I am a Disney fanatic lol! Coco, Luca, Moana, Frozen 1 and 2, Onward, Raya and the Last Dragon, Elemental, Wish, Soul, Inside Out 1 and 2, sooo many lol!

Ashley Elliott

I am the same :) Came here to watch Taylor Swift reactions, and got on Patreon for the Disney movies :)

Ashley Elliott

I didn't even think of that...Abuela never got a gift, she was the matriarch and head of the family....so with Mirabel not getting a gift, and pretty much bringing the gift back, breathing new life into Casita, she will be the next Matriarch... Thank you for this, it makes so much sense!

Ashley Elliott

I FORGOT TURNING RED! That is an AMAZING MOVIE!

Ashley Elliott

I loved ALL of the Descendants movies! The only disappointment was the ending of the very last one with the Queen of Hearts and her daughter Red. They didn't finish the movie in my opinion..

Soiren

Another interesting fact, there are only 2 people the house obeys and really converses with. Abuela, and Mirabel.

Stina A

Thank you for the reaction! It was fun seeing the movie through your eyes! I look forward to your reaction of Moana/Vaiana (Shiny is one of my favorite Disney-songs), if you continue on this journey. I hope you see Tangled too (The song Mother knows best is another favorite). Is there any older ones you haven't seen? Oliver & Company is such a fun one. It deserves more love. I don't really recommend The Sword in the Stone, but the song Mad Madam Mim deserves a reaction :)

Andrew

You should watch, "Shrek the Musical". It is fantastic and you will love it.

Faen_Galan

Stephanie Beatriz - Mirabel is also the voice and singer for Vaggi from Hazbin Hotel

Faen_Galan

You’re welcome to come out to Salt Lake City, my wife is from Venezuela, and her town is about an hour from the Columbia border and they share a lot of the same foods and yes this is a typical thing for breakfast and yes it’s very good

Faen_Galan

Luuuke! No! You ended the video too soon, Sebastian Yatra sings an English version of Dos Oruguitas during the end credits and it’s such a good song. Here’s the English lyrics Two little caterpillars in love Spending their nights and early mornings Full of hunger They keep walking and navigating a world That changes and keeps changing Navigating a world That changes and keeps changing Two little caterpillars stop the wind While they embrace with feeling They keep growing, not knowing when To look for some nook Time keeps changing They're inseparable And time keeps changing Ay, little caterpillars, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and come back You'll carry on forwards Miracles come, chrysalises come You must leave and build your own future Ay, little caterpillars, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and come back You'll carry on forwards Miracles come, chrysalises come You must leave and build your own future Two disoriented caterpillars In two cocoons, well sheltered With new dreams All you have to do is what is necessary In a world that keeps changing Knocking down its walls Here comes our miracle Our miracle Our miracle Our miracle Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and come back You'll carry on forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises are breaking You must fly, you have to find Your own future Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and come back You'll carry on forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises are breaking You must fly, you have to find Your own future Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and come back You'll carry on forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises are breaking You must fly, you have to find Your own future

Lucie G

Wonderful reaction, love your humanity 💜 As a suggestion for a future musicals I humbly suggest Les Miserables.

Sarah

This reaction is so special! Probably my favorite Disney movie ever, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Meredith

I second this rec!

KRYSTAL HOWARD

I want to see you react to Inside out 1 and 2....my favorites after Encanto

Demon Saya

When I saw you react to this, I ran back to watch it as soon as I had a moment.

Laura Hays

I subscribed on YouTube and here after seeing you watch Bruno. I like your vibe and it’s neat to see these things I love through new eyes. I’m at ‘Waiting on a Miracle’ and I already can’t wait to see your reaction at the end. The best part about movies today is that the generation making them is emotionally educated and are making sure entertainment starts educating young. It doesn’t end there, we didn’t have a lot of this emotional validation and the way these are written gives us emotional catharsis while making sure our kids grow up with a better mental health environment than we had. I really look forward to watching more with you!

Dee Gabrielle

You're the FIRST person I've ever subscribed to on Patreon,because of your YouTube videos! Luke, you are such a refreshingly emotional,gentle soul! Don't ever change!

turner husak family

Frozen movies are good Raya the last dragon is good Zootopia 1 and 2

turner husak family

Same the only reason I even got patreon was for his Disney and musical reactions

Sam w

I'm watching this because I wanted to watch encanto again without supporting disney, but I'm firmly a fan because of your reactions! I completely feel you ever time you tear up! this movie made me cry so many times! and yes, Moana is also this good!

Cherish Liu

you may have watched these but: TANGLED, MULAN. and ZOOTOPIA 1 and 2 are good too

Hridayinee

Just watching your reaction now of Encanto, a movie I love. Now that you've seen Hamilton and you realize the guy playing Alexander (Lin Manuel Miranda) wrote all the songs and the whole musical Hamilton.... well had anyone told you yet that Lin also wrote the Encanto songs? Amazing lyricist hey. So when you here the fast rap parts in the Encanto songs you can think of what he wrote for Hamilton like Satisfied and Guns n Ships

Samantha Frost

End of the year after you’ve done tons of Disney movies do Enchanted! It’s boring but Easter eggs of prior Disney movies! From old cast members, hidden items, phrases, etc. so underrated and hilarious

feyatsirk

Im very late to the party, and I dont know if anyone mentioned this months ago, but Stephanie (Rosa) recorded Waiting on a Miracle while in active labor and having contractions in the studio, but she wanted to finish the recording so she didnt tell anyone lol

Michael Klaus

I still think it is interesting that you had it right early on in the movie. A kid might assume that the personalities of the characters are fitting the "powers" but instead each gift is an extension of the personality. The creators basically gave that away in a tweet when they pointed out the one connection that is not int he movie: Camilo is a "theater kid" who likes to take on different roles. Peppa's mood changes like the weather, Bruno worries about everybody's future, Marietta wants everyone to be well. Which also kinda explains how Dolores "superhearing" works because it isn't what you think: Dolores loves gossip and she can hear everyone in the Encanto. It isn't like very sound was amplified for her which we can see because she never has issues with loud noises. And therefore she can also not pinpoint where people are; she simply hears them like they were close to her. Dos Oruguitas and the two different versions of how Alma "lost" Pedro are also very interesting to analyze. Because in the "kid friendly" version Pedro just vanishes with their pursuers whihc leaves open whether he simply left with them. EDIT 2: For which it is sad that you didn't listen to the English version of the song during the credits. But in Dos Oruguitas it becomes obvious that Pedro was slain and that Alma's outburst of grief and despair preceeded the magical burst of the candle that inturn vanquished their pursuers. In the beginning of the song it still seems like Alma and Pedro were the caterpillars who held on too tight and had to let go to live their seperate futures... which fits Pedro leaving with the pursuers. But later int he song it becomes clearer that Alma had to let go of her family members and especially Mirabel had to let go of Alma. Because they both possess the miracle of transformation. Alma had turned from a wife to a widow but more importantly the matriarch of her community. Now she can become a grandmother as Mirabel becomes the matriarch. And the miracle off transformation they both posess then can also be seen when Mirabel "is given" a new miracle... or rather enchants the doorknob. But it is now built on a new foundation. Where Alma unconsciously used grief and despair as the source, Mirabel felt recognition and empowerment. Mirable does not get a gift because like Alma she is the one who gives them. EDIT: Can I add how ugly it is that patreon tells me to add a new line with shift+enter but when I save the comment it deletest that?

Kate

Mirabel's name, rather than 'mirror ball' (which is a cute idea though!), means 'wonderous' or... in interpretation... 'miracle.' I'm sure someon's already pointed this out but wanted to add my input.

Ana

The background music in this movie has Carlos Vives songs. He is a very famous musician from Colombia which is the setting of the movie. The round pastries they are eating are cheese arepas and they are delicious! I have seen this movie before but I cried and laughed with you. Thank you!!!

DjTapsi

A friend of mine who is from columbia told me something, the reason Pepa got so upset by Brunos Vision "it looks like rain"... if you tell that to someone on their wedding day you basically tell them that their marriage wont last.

MineJulRBX

I've looked forward to this journey for years, and here I'm starting nearing the end of 2026, but it's great to have a platform where you can join and follow at your own pace, encanto really was a great one to start with, excited to check out the rest
