Bruno is also on the American poster.Sotiris wrote:Both new posters are boring and lazy. The reused the same clipart for almost every character. The compositions are no good either. The spaces feel cluttered and cramped. It's interesting Bruno is nowhere to be found in the American poster whereas he's included in the French one. I wonder if that disparity will be repeated in the trailers with Bruno being absent from the domestic trailer while present in the international one.
The sequence with the donkeys doesn't look like an emotional one, but in a film with so many characters I doubt she'll have more than one song to herself. Maybe part of the song will be slower and more intimate like it happens for example with "When Will My Life Begin" from Tangled.Sotiris wrote:I wonder if the sequence she's talking about is when Luisa is dancing with the donkeys. It's probably a different one since she refers to the scene in question as emotional.
I thought the same seeing him in the house with everyone else in that figurine set, but the window of his room covered with bricks still makes me think he doesn't live there anymore. Although, maybe he never left the Encanto and just doesn't live in the Madrigal house now. And perhaps he's not a beggar, but a hermit.Sotiris wrote:We thought that him being surrounded by rats was an indication of him leaving the house and becoming a beggar or a drifter, but it seems he was always into rats even before leaving. Assuming he does leave, that is. I'm not so sure about that anymore.
It reminded me of Remy and Linguini too. That's an interesting theory; maybe you're right about that.Sotiris wrote:The fact he's befriended rats is unusual given his power. He's described as a worrywart, so maybe he confides in the rats about the things he sees instead of his family so as not to alarm them? Talking to rats is his way to cope? The figurine where he's holding the rat in both hands reminded me of Remy and Linguini from Ratatouille.
What a nice surprise! I though at best we would be getting the poster today and the trailer tomorrow.Farerb wrote:Trailer is today.
I personally like them, but it's true that they're not the most original posters and I also wish they wouldn't use the same clipart over and over.Sotiris wrote:Both new posters are boring and lazy.

That's a good guess. It could also be a sad reprise.D82 wrote:The sequence with the donkeys doesn't look like an emotional one, but in a film with so many characters I doubt she'll have more than one song to herself.

There's a small neighboring town, so maybe he went there? If he did leave, I think he did that when he was younger, before Mirabel and the rest of the grandkids were born. I think the kids never met him and don't know he exists. Maybe Alma was so heartbroken or ashamed he abandoned them, he instructed her daughters to not talk about him. Bruno shown wearing a cape and hiding in the posters makes me believe he only comes back to warn them about the house losing its magic and feels uncomfortable, anxious, or embarrassed to see them again.D82 wrote:I thought the same seeing him in the house with everyone else in that figurine set, but the window of his room covered with bricks still makes me think he doesn't live there anymore.

Here's also more info about the character:The voice cast includes Stephanie Beatriz as Mirabel; María Cecilia Botero as Mirabel’s grandmother Alma aka Abuela; John Leguizamo as Bruno; Angie Cepeda and Wilmer Valderrama as Mirabel’s parents, Julieta and Agustín; and Diane Guererro and Jessica Darrow as Mirabel’s sisters, Isabela and Luisa. Also lending their voices are Carolina Gaitán and Mauro Castillo as Mirabel’s aunt and uncle, Pepa and Félix; and Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz and Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Mirabel’s cousins Dolores, Camilo and Antonio, respectively.
Source: https://www.mousesteps.com/2021/09/29/d ... 24th-2021/Also revealed this morning—actor John Leguizamo (“Critical Thinking,” “Ice Age”) joins the voice cast. “I was so pumped to be asked to the party,” said Leguizamo. “Lin-Manuel [Miranda] wrote me a rap, and I flipped out! Plus, this is such a beautiful story set in Colombia. It’s a first in so many ways. The magic is enchanting, the comedy is so sharp, and the world created is irresistible.”
Leguizamo lends his voice to Bruno, Mirabel’s uncle who’s gifted with the ability to see the future. Bruno’s honest, often doomsaying predictions aren’t always well received by the rest of the family, so he disappeared long ago, becoming the uncle no one talks about. “Bruno is so compelling because he is that guy that never quite fits in,” said Leguizamo. “He’s an outsider, but he also understands the world better because he’s always wanted to belong to it.”
Of course, he did.D82 wrote:Lin-Manuel [Miranda] wrote me a rap.
He's literally incapable of working on a project regardless of genre or setting without including some rap. So he left because they mistreated him for warning them about the bad things that were going to happen? Shouldn't they have been grateful to him? If they know what's going to happen, they can prevent it from happening, right?D82 wrote:Bruno’s honest, often doomsaying predictions aren’t always well received by the rest of the family, so he disappeared long ago, becoming the uncle no one talks about.

It reminded me of The Road to El Dorado too. Particularly, the part where the light magic was creating the house.

I agree that not name-dropping Frozen was weird. Moana was mentioned because the films share the same songwriter as well as due to the fact that Moana has become really popular on streaming.DisneyFan09 wrote:It's remarkable how Encanto was promoted as "from the studio that brought you Moana and Zootopia", without mentioning the behemoth that was Frozen (the inclusion of Moana seems shoehorned in, due to how Encanto is another non-Caucasian property. But at least the mentioning of Zootopia made sense).
I think the ones with powers need to conserve their magic or stay put or something like that and that's why Mirabel needs to go search for answers on her own. Upon rewatching the trailer, I don't think the rest of the family is going to be part of her quest except for maybe Bruno and Antonio. The scenes with Luisa are from before the house started losing its magic.blackcauldron85 wrote:So because everyone else is losing their powers, Mirabel has nothing to lose by being the one to save the family?
That wasn't me, that was D82. I think his posture and demeanor are supposed to indicate he's a bit neurotic. Always worrying about the next bad thing that's going to happen could turn anyone into an anxious, agitated, and jittery mess.Disney's Divinity wrote:That little toy set Sotiris posted makes me think Bruno is supposed to be crazy. I'm referring mostly to the way his feet are pointed very weirdly.

Why can't they prevent it though? For example, if Bruno predicts that tomorrow a member of the family will fall off a ladder, that person can avoid using one that day. I suppose there are some situations that can't be prevented, but given adequate time, I think most can.Disney's Divinity wrote:As far as Bruno, perhaps the family simply decided they want to live in the now and enjoy their lives than worry over whatever is to come that they can't prevent?
True. It certainly reminded me of the part on Without Question with the golden cards, if you remember. Now that I think about it, it also reminds me of Rapunzel`s glowing hair in Healing Incantation from Tangled (when she heals Flynn Rider).Sotiris wrote:It reminded me of The Road to El Dorado too.

Fair enough. But I didn`t knew the latter about Moana. Initially I thought it was because of PC-reasons (remember that Raya and the Last Dragon was also marketed as from the creators of Moana).I agree that not name-dropping Frozen was weird. Moana was mentioned because the films share the same songwriter as well as due to the fact that Moana has become really popular on streaming.
Agreed. I love them too. I always look them up on GoogleThanks! I love the promotional materials for Tarzan. They had a special shading and texture to them that set them apart.
Source: https://allears.net/2021/09/29/the-crea ... haracters/As part of the Early Press Day, we were shown about 20 minutes of footage still under development to get a sense of how the film begins. It starts with Mirabel being begged by the neighborhood children to tell them about her magical family, which she does at length, in a musical number that introduces the family members and their powers. Although she tries to avoid mentioning it, the fact that Mirabel is the only non-magical member of the family quickly becomes evident and she is the object of their sympathy and pity.
Plucky and determined to not consider herself as lesser for having no magic, her self-esteem takes another hit when Abuela Alma asks her to take a low profile at her cousin Antonio’s gift ceremony for fear of her giftlessness somehow interfering with him receiving his. The ceremony involves the children of the family, when they reach a certain age, opening a magical door in the house which then bestows some kind of distinct ability on them. They are then given their own room in the house (graduating from the nursery, where Mirabel still lives) which the house redesigns as a spectacular space specific to their gift. Unlike Mirabel, Antonio successfully receives his gift of talking to animals, and is given an enormous room full of trees and animals that would be the envy of any nature-loving child.
Later that evening, Mirabel begins to notice frightening cracks in their beloved magical house. She tries to tell the others about them, but no one else admits to having seen them, and some begin to believe she is making the whole thing up to gain attention. Is this a forewarning of danger to the Madrigal house and family? Did Bruno have a vision about it and was that why he disappeared? We will have to wait until November 24th to find out.
