Seven foot rats. Rats along his rats.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao this is the only version of the song that gets stuck in my head

[(Anonymous)]

It's a fun-sounding song but if I think too hard about its/Bruno's role in the plot, I go a little crazy.

I get that nobody (or at least not the townspeople, anyway) really understood his powers, but one of a set of triplets (raised by a single violently-widowed mother) just up and vanishes and his siblings just shrug it off for ten years? Dolores can hear everything but not the reason he left or the fact that he's literally living in the walls? And if she DID know he was there the whole time ("I can hear him now" is one of her lines, but it's said as if he's far off not ten feet away, right after "it's like I hear him now" so who knows) then she's VERY good at keeping secrets and shouldn't have been so quick to blab that Mirabel was asking about him. Not to mention someone pointed out to me that the sound and position in the musical makes it seem like it should be a big "turning point" in the plot but it...isn't. At all.

[(Anonymous)]

Doesn't Dolores confirm at the end that she always knew about Bruno? I assume he asked her not to tell and Bruno was obviously a forbidden topic in the house. So I can see why she would never tell.

The fact that she couldn't keep quiet about Mirabel was probably influenced by the fact that she wanted to ruin the engagement dinner to a certain extent. Dolores knows all the secrets of all of the village by nature of her powers, I can't imagine her being bad at keeping them. If she were, her grandmother would have probably already told her off for abusing her gift for gossip.

[(Anonymous)]

But especially given that Bruno is a forbidden topic, to throw Mirabel under the bus like that would make her seem so... mean. I know she has reasons to not like the engagement, but we literally never see her stand against it. If her only on-screen rebellion is to put on a giant act to make Mirabel the center of another scene...

[(Anonymous)]

She blabbed about Mirabel because Mirabel kept staring at her. Like, literally, if you watch the scene back, you realize she's trying to keep it in, but Mirabel is scaring her with that constant staring. She told someone because she wanted help, and then it... Blew up. Legit all Mirabel had to do was act casual! Her dad even SAID that's all she had to do for a single dinner, and instead she was staring and glaring the entire time.

But we also don't know if the siblings shrugged it off or... He disappeared ten years ago. They probably looked frantically and just didn't realize he was in the walls. And eventually... You stop looking.

100% agreed. The other songs are great, but this one just isn't good in my opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

There needs to be an equivalent concept of "toyetic" but for social media content that's appealing and sticky to tweens and young teens

[(Anonymous)]

I liked the song well enough as it's catchy, but yeah there are better songs in Encanto. But then I consider it an issue of Disney movies that ether have a break-out song or use a song to market the movie: it's usually not the best one, Frozen was the same for me with Let it Go, like the song's fine but I didn't think it was the best one in the movie.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. In Frozen, which one seemed like the best song, to you?

[(Anonymous)]

Surface Pressure is my personal favourite but I can see why We Don't Talk About Bruno is popular as well. It's a fun and interesting with the different POVs of the song.

But I think the reason it was that popular was simply marketing. It's probably the best song to get people who haven't seen the movie yet interested.

[(Anonymous)]

The song grew on me over time, but my favorite is still Surface Pressure.

[(Anonymous)]

Surface Pressure was really the only, "Yes OMG I love this!" song in the whole film for me. Though to be fair I was underwhelmed as a whole about the film in general.

[(Anonymous)]

To me, it kind of sounds like the song an AI would spit out if it was fed Lin-Manuel Miranda's entire discography. It's extremely...him, for better or for worse.

Personally, I preferred his work on Moana because it felt like he was pushed out of his comfort zone more, and the orchestrated arrangements felt unique for him. It felt like the kind of soundtrack that could settle in nicely with most of the 90s Disney Renaissance movies. Meanwhile, most of the songs in Encanto sounded like they could be deleted In The Heights songs if the lyrics were changed

[(Anonymous)]

Seconding all of this.

[(Anonymous)]

I liked the harmonizing/layering of lyrics lol

Not very familiar with LMM's music so...

But I will say lyrically, other songs resonated far more

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, Good song but not the best of the movie. I liked Surface Pressure the best.

[(Anonymous)]

Musically, I wish Waiting on a Miracle got way more love. It's really beautiful, feels unique within the rest of the score, and is so frikkin hard to sing.

[(Anonymous)]

Waiting on a Miracle is my favorite song to sing from Encanto (besides All of You, but that's a group song like Bruno so it's fun to sing all the different parts and stuff in a different way). It IS hard to sing but it's so worth it.

[(Anonymous)]

But it gave us the parody video We Don't Talk About Pluto and THAT is a song worth getting stuck in your head!

[arcanetrivia]

I didn't get what was supposedly so great about it either.
