The contrast between how Abuela narrated the story in the beginning as a tale of hope vs how traumatizing it actually was and how deeply it affected her and by extension, her family

This is one of the only songs in the movie that isn’t sung by a character. It’s sung as a way to narrate the events of the past, and explains the tale of “two caterpillars” as they grow apart from natural causes and soon turn into butterflies, finding their own ways in life. I believe that the singer of this song is supposed to be Pedro himself as he watches over his family due to the loss of casita. The last few lines of the song (in English) are: “Ay, butterflies, don't hold on anymore You must grow apart and return, you'll keep moving forwards There are already miracles, chrysalises breaking open You must fly, you must find your own future.” And I think that’s beautiful. It’s addressed specifically to Alma, I believe as a sort of closure from Pedro. He’s telling her that they lived a beautiful life together in the short time they had, and that it’s okay for her to grieve over her loss, and “until they meet again” (when she passes), she needs to stop living in a fantasy of perfection and let herself and her family rest and grieve. Because if she does, she will finally move on from her past and make herself better for her family. Edit: I changed the beginning of my comment from “it’s the only song not sung by a character in the movie”, since many people seem very hung up on that apparently.

Being a father and a husband….when I watched this the first time I couldn’t stop crying. My wife asked me what part made me cry. I told her that Pedro knew he was going to die but didn’t think twice to defend his wife and children….even if it was hopeless he had to try. A real man, sacrificing his own life for even the slightest chance the people he loves would live on.

Anyone who thinks that the part where she breaks down crying looks fake has obviously never had a "my world is falling apart" episode of crying. This is probably the best depiction of it ive ever seen. Those cries can turn into near screams of sorrow. Having cried like that before, that part really broke my heart

"We were saved because of you. We were given a miracle because of you. We are a family because of you." It's easy to focus on the harm Abuela caused to the family but Mirabel's words here are 100% true. Abuela was so strong to not only to survive her tragic past, raise her three children by herself, and take the role as the caretaker of the village. And not only that, her ability to admit that she's wrong and improve upon herself shows true care for her family and inner strength

The way Abuela cries in her version of the story, her face when she drops on her knees and just breaks shook me so much. It feels almost too realistic, the kind of unspeakable pain that is so painful it physically hurts your heart, I feel like most of us can relate to that at some point. What a powerful movie this was.

I think for me the most heart wrenching part is when Abuela’s husband is saying goodbye and kisses her and she’s just staring at him trying to understand and not realizing what’s about to happen. You can literally see the panic and confusion and grief in her eyes as it all becomes clear. That was it for me. 😢

The scene where the grandmother is walking down the hall clearly caught in that horrible memory and thus unable to see her family's best efforts and longing for approval is such a powerful display of how trauma clouds your vision and effects those around you.

Everybody is talking about "We don't talk about Bruno" which is an amazing song but "Dos oruguitas" is also a masterpiece not only because of its lyrics but also because of what this song represents in relation to the conflict and violence that has been part not only of Colombia's history, but also of Latin America history. This song deserves an Oscar.

I love that they gave her a realistic cry instead of a fake Disney cry. She got a raw "ugly" cry nd its absolutely beautiful

Her expression on 2:08, pretty much saying, “what am I suppose to do now?” Breaks me seeing she lost her lover and comprehending what just happened to her really gets you

" i asked my pedro for help, mirabel he sent me you" is always that trigger that makes my watery eyes burst everytime, no matter how many times i watch this movie it'll always make me cry, i love it so MUCH!!!!!!!

What makes this scene more intense is the fact that Abuela gave up all hope when she saw Pedro die. In that moment, she knew that herself and her children were next. That weeping was not only for her husband's death, but for her three children and herself. Without a doubt, a part of herself died that day and it is truly heartbreakingly beautiful.

Her cries have to be the best animated cry I’ve ever seen. It felt so raw and transcended the screen. Absolutely beautiful.

When it went from “dos orugitas” to “ay mariposas” i started sobbing

By far one of the best examples of a father’s sacrifice and a mother’s love🥺

I love that the moment Alma cries, she doesn't yells the typical "No!", but she rips her throat with her cry, you can really see her heart break when she watches her husband die and can't do anything about it. The way she collapses and falls to the ground is something very realistic and really shows the great pain of the character, which, although it's animated, I'm sure it made more than one cry. She has reasons to cry so heartbreakingly. She is watching how the love of her life is killed, the only person who seems to have a connection with her at that moment (since her relatives don't appear in that scene). With that alone, it already leaves her with a severe trauma. In addition, at that moment she is left without a partner, and it means that she is ALONE, in charge of 3 BABIES. If a single baby requires a lot of attention, imagine 3! Alma, even though she is an animated character, shows how strong and solid a woman has to force herself to be when others depend on her. And there are women in real life who are like that, and those people deserve respect.

None of the characters have said a word on the flashback, but their expressions and emotions spoke a lot for them. Kudos to the whole team of creators of Encanto, this movie became one of Disney's best creations.

As a Colombian this scene just hit me so hard, remembers me my Abuela and makes me understand her character even more, she suffered so much that she built a helmet in her heart, i love you abuela and miss you a lot❤
