Film Theory: Dolores BROKE The Magic! (Disney Encanto)

True I speak Spanish and when I heard hear the name I just thought of pains cause for me it means Dolores in Spanish is pains

Yea but that’s just a common Hispanic name idk if you’ve ever heard anyone named that ☠️

Even though I'm hispanic, I never noticed that lol
Then again my spanish is still a work in progress

As a latina, Dolores is a common name, it's common naming your children as a feeling (Esperanza, Soledad, Dolores, etc which mean Hope, Loneliness and Pain) It's associated with what the mother feels during her pregnancy, not about the kid in it of itself. But yeah, they did in on porpouse.

Pain plural

And Camilo and Antonio

Because unlike the rest of the family, who has been brainwashed about gift=awesome, she has the ability to see through the veneer of glorification and truly decipher the various layers, pros and cons of each power. The reason she's not jealous of Camillo's power is, because she wants to be seen for *herself*, not her impersonations of other people.
And she loves and cares far too much about Antonino -who also appears to be her best friend- to develop envy towards him.

Maybe she does this because she is worried Dolores will hear her

Camilo too. And Antonio

Also when she says she would heal what's broken she looks and points at Dolores.

She has super hearing though,someone would atleast hear her out.

She does literally sing "I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling" during the song". The use of "can" here is really important because it implies present tense. The line directly preceding it - Grew to live in fear of his stuttering and stumbling - and a couple lines after - Always left Abuela and the family fumbling grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand - it's back to past tense. It's definitely a very intentional choice of words

I heard/read a theory that the family convinced her she was hearing rats in the walls instead. When she tells Mirabel about Louisa she also slips it that the rats in the walls are talking about it too.

I use to think Dolores was quiet because the sound of her own voice was too loud for her, but a therapist on tiktok did a quick read/take on the family and theorized that Dolores was actually quiet because growing up with her powers would lead her to unintentionally reveal things others didn't want so there was a good chance she was constantly told to shut up or be quiet about things.

during that very song she tries to tell people that she can here him and is talked over by Isabella telling Mirabella to be quiet during the dinner. She tries to tell people, but they just don't listen to her.

fr tho with the dirty

And maybe the labor screams.

I’m sure the people in the town were aware of her gift and were therefore more careful with rumors lol

She could hear the whole town doing the dirty

“Oh heal me, make me live longer 💀💀💀”

I didn't even think about that, that's horrible

Yo wait that's true and that's so messed up😭

ok

@slida emif true tho 😂

The town seemed to be filled with some pretty selfish people until the very end when they help rebuild. Louisa’s song about pressure, their desperate questions about the magic made me think they didn’t serve very much and just let the madrigals do everything for them.

She says she knew though, during All Of You, "yo I knew he never left i heard him everyday"

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar no

i think she only let bruno live in the walls without telling anyone so she could hear his telenovelas

@@Nic_431 another Nicque Marina fan, I see! Man of culture lol

@@andwhat3969 And during “We don’t talk about Bruno,” we can see him in her echolocation, and she says “I can hear him now.”

But she kept bruno living in their WALLS a secret for so long??

@@loadingresourcesdotdot because she can't talk about bruno :) remember "we don't talk about bruno" was taken seriously :P that's why mirabel didn't remember much about him that's why camillo thought he was 7 feet tall.

My apologies.

I feel sad for Bruno,he is a whole outcast and just no one understands him.

@@user-lk2ex7ng8r ‘ight, Imma report this.

@@kkcake5771 its sad because they made him the way he is by begging him to use his gift and then getting mad at hearing about the futures they asked to see and blaming him for it instead of blaming themselves for their lack of self control in asking. bruno was alienated by doing what people asked him to do and then getting villainized for it. even if he may have occasionally just tried to warn people about worrisome futures out of concern for the individual, they decided to take it as just him being a bearer of bad news, since people dont need to be "warned" that something good is going to happen; making every out of the blue encounter with him probably a negative one.

@@shoyrushoyru they could have also done something about their futures that Bruno told them like the woman who Bruno said her fish would die she should’ve taken better care of it and also the rain on the wedding day she controls the weather with her emotions of course if your nervous it’s going to rain if that’s a power you have

krplus.net/bidio/ndKpaHxio4G0loI

M

isabella is more honest in hers. she says "im fine" 3 times, but then "Ill be fine". I think she's holding on to the idea bruno gave her that EVENTUALLY everything will be fine in the future when 'the life of her dreams' will be hers.
while dolores is trying to assure herself that she's fine with everything even though she isnt.

@@Gatekid3 I LOVE THIS. I never thought about why Isabella changes to "I'll be fine" even though I main her parts when I sing with my sisters.

Yeah, her verse was the most understanding in we don’t talk about Bruno, she understands that they’re predictions that he can’t control. E.g: “It’s a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left abuela and the family fumbling, grappling prophecies they couldn’t understand, do you understand?

Or she is scared of him. What with the "grew to live in fear" part of her verse.
Unlikely, but possible

@@midnightnavigator4399 The full sentence is "grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering and stumbling". She wasn't scared of him, she grew to fear his movements in the walls

We can all feel bad she had a torturous power, but can we feel bad she didn’t tell anyone about Bruno? She “respected” his wish to be eating with rats?

@@PikachuComments bruh why are yall fighting tooth and nail to defend her over nothing

@@MimiUsagichan fr

@@MimiUsagichan Because from what I can see, the town would be just fine if they lost their power... including those with said powers. And if a power within a family has to constantly make a group within the family suffer? Maybe it is better to have no powers at all then.

Surrrre

You're right, she probably knows every secret in the entire town, and even if someone didn't have anything to hide, she could just make something up and people would believe her because of her power

krplus.net/bidio/eJeloIWWfWuze4I vsdvsd

She could literally get her hands on Mariano & by telling him about anything she heard that could disrupt & prevent Isabella & His marriage. Seriously even if those powers are a curse if you intent is to break a relationship & swoop in & replace one of the people in that relationship super-sensitive hearing IS the perfect power cause it lets you gossip the relationship into the ruins.

hey, heard some freaky noises coming from your room while you where at work, just saying.

“remember kids! don’t gossip or dolores will hear you!”

Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing their own hardships

Maybe she can filter what noise she wants to listen to but I doubt it

I heard Isabella’s line too and initially I thought that he was mistaken and thought it was Dolores’s line. But if she is really singing and Isabella’s just singing over her, that makes a a lot of sense

I thought it was only Isabela too, but realized both were singing because I could see their lips moving the same way

I think isabela sing high note and dolores sing it in lower note

What part is that one? I watch this movie very day and I need to know lol

Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing their own hardships

I thought that meant "He was blamed for everything, just like you are. And you can find him." Because just before that, it's "It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left Abuela and the family fumbling..." Which is sort of like how Mirabel is blamed for not seeming to have a gift at all.

I had this same vibe. Furthermore, she kept looking back toward where Bruno was in the background too.

@@tsharabrown3719 Funny how Mat left out her entire part in that song while he was making this garbage theory lol

I think she's always hoping people will pick up on little cues like she does. "I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling" is present tense. She explicitly told Mirabel that Bruno is here, currently, in the present, and Mirabel just didn't pick up on it because she was inundated with so much information at once. She's looking directly at Mariano over the wall in her second verse, making it clear that *he* is the man of her dreams, but no one notices. Even while she's singing, "and I'm fine, and I'm fine, and I'm fine, I'm fine," so is Isabela at the same time. Dolores KNOWS that Isabela doesn't want to marry Mariano, but no one listens to either woman about what they want.
She's also the only one besides Isa who doesn't outright badmouth Bruno. "It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left Abuela and the family fumbling, grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand." She sympathizes with Bruno. Perhaps she didn't expose him because she wanted him to be able to live in peace.
And she definitely told Camilo at least a few things about Bruno. He's the only one who associates Bruno with rats, but Bruno would only have been hanging out with rats after he started living in the walls. The only way Camilo would know that detail about him is if he heard it from Dolores. But Dolores speaks very softly and very quickly, so it might be hard for people to catch everything she says.
The moment at the proposal just seemed like a moment of crisis. A secret that was too big for her, and when she whispered to her brother, unable to hold it in, chaos ensued. Everyone talking at once, Luisa crying, rats everywhere, and every little noise is multiplied by a thousand for Dolores and she just loses it. It looked like ADHD sensory overload. It was just too much for her.
In short, I don't think she's actually withholding any information, I think people just aren't listening.

I absolutely think that happened. Dolores was still a young child and probably went "I can still hear tio Bruno" and they just shushed her. We don't talk about Bruno

Blowing me off too 😏

@@Blackinfemwa You need help.

This made me realize she says this after we see Abuela freaking out about the magic and Mirabel decides to save the magic the night before...

Is it because she does not like her gift

@@lesleyofosu9837 yes

That’s dark

She said the only one thats worried about the the magic is you and Mumbles the rats in the walls

I thought she learned how to control the weather at the end of the movie because of her dancing while it's snowing. or maybe it was to show she is happy to not have to suppress all her emotions/moods anymore. I haven't watched the movie to many times so idk

My sister got this misconception.

she learns how to control her powers at the end of the movie

I agree with Jessica I would get mad a lot at Camilo if we was bad so yeah it would be my mood

Technically if she learns how to control her emotions she can control the weather. Abuela even instructed her once to make it clear or rain and she did.

Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing their own hardships

In a tweet by Encanto's director, can't remember his name off the top of my head, he stated that Dolores' room, "Def has some soundproofing in there!" So, it could be that she can't hear the townsfolk at night, but she could still hear *some* of her family members. Note how she doesn't hear Alma talking about how she's worried about the Miracle at night after Antonio's ceremony, but she is able to hear Luisa's eye twitching.... or she could have just been asleep when Alma was talking.
I was looking for a comment that talked about her room!

asmr

You could make the argument that she happened to leave her room for a bit that night or that before everyone went to sleep she heard it but its kind of hard too with the all night part of it

Or it is soundproofed and she lied 🤔

During "We Don't Talk About Bruno" during the lyric where Isabella tells Mirabella "not one word out of you", Delores literally says "I can here him now". So it's not that she doesn't try to tell people it's that they don't listen to her unless she's telling them some gossip.

@@hahalove47 lmao you're of one of those people who are annoyingly stubborn and literally ignore everything that the person has said to prove their point, why didn't she tell everyone about the cracks? Why did she expose mirabels prophecy? Lmao please just say that you're a simp and move on. The evidence that she's pretty evil is right in front of you yet your refuse to acknowledge it just because you like the character. Plus who wouldn't try to sabotage stuff if they were paranoid from all the hearing and their "perfect" sister was marrying their crush. So yeah just stop lmao.

yeah but at the same time, I feel like Dolores was jealous of Mirabel and that led to her not being very fond of her. So I think that is why she couldn't keep the secret about Mirabel destroying the gift... like think about it, she probably knows most of the secrets of the whole town right? Why was she able to keep them a secret though? She purposelly revealed Mirabel's secret while also destroying the man's (I don't remember his name) proposal to Isabella. It makes sense doesn't it? I don't know if she is "evil" but I do think that she's someone with a lot of psychological trauma who definitely needs a therapist lol.

Same here, she actively sympathises with him in her verse, "it's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left abuela and the family fumbling, grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand", she also has a humbling gift (the super hearing), and gets that Bruno couldn't fully say what any prophecy was, since they were so vague.

This is an underrated comment.

Yeah. Antonio probably told her.

Yeah, I couldn't quite connect the dots in this theory. Her being impulsive could be a reasonable excuse for blurting out during the family dinner. Her hearing is so good that she knows about every secret in the village, how then is she supposed to know who's in on the secret and who isn't? Not being able to keep a secret could be a subconscious way of destressing; instead of continuously deciding which secrets to keep and/or who to tell them to she is just telling everyone about everything. If that is the case, her family then going to her to 'spy' on others in the village - I mean, I don't think Mariano meant for Dolores to hear that he wants five babies - would not be a help.

@@stef5853 Well, she probably knows who is and isn't in on any given secret because... Y'know, she'd hear it if someone told that secret

Well i think they dont talk about bruno because mentioning him upsets the grandma. At first we think its because she hates him, but by the end of the movie we realize its probably because she misses him or resents him "leaving". So i assumed it was the same for delores. She was told not to talk about him, so they dont.

super hearing gotta be the most traumatic power to give to a child

Didn't she say that she heard Luisas eye twitching all night? It's been a while since I've rewatched the movie

Dolores room is sound proof

...if it was soundproof then.. HOW DID SHE HEAR LOUISA'S EYE TWITCHING

Good point

How long did it take to write this down lmao but this is very true

That is a good thought and one I hadn't even remotely considered! I'm wondering if there is an Encanto 2 if there will be new cracks in the house and that Mirabel will be on family repairing duty again. After all, I noticed in the recent movie that the only characters with issues they dove into was Bruno, Mirabel, Abulea, Luisa, and Isabella. They only briefly touched on Peppa and no one else got a good talk about their feelings in detail (Julieta got NO comment on her feelings).

i agree!!

“Remember, it’s just a theory, a film theory” -MatPat

@Joshkid 2000 I don't think the Casita is the one that controls the miracle, rather, the miracle controls the Casita. The Casita has been shown to care about the family, so it's very unlikely that it would do this on purpose.

@@yuzukistardust87075 i mean still magic or casita, mirabel wanted a gift and didnt get one, and Dolores was given a gift she dont like, I guess the magic can get hands thrown then, its cursen em not gifting 😭

I think the magic and Casita are like partners in crime and the reason miribel didn't get a gift because the magic was getting manipulated by Dolores but you know since the Casita only interacted with abuela and miribel so far that the Casita couldn't say anything

i get what you mean, but i don’t blame abuela at all
she was a consequence of the huge trauma that happened to her, and she was big enough to let go of her illusion and start to make it right
but yeah stuff the miracle Dolores deserved better 😩

Casita is giving sass

Probably because Dolores almost never closes her eyes

Oooo maybe it’s symbolic of how they’re the only ones who are aware of the family’s instability (there’s a bit of emphasis on the line “open your eyes” and before anyone says it mirabel doesn’t have a door)

I think that's cause they have sense based miracles? like he uses his eyes to see his prophecies and she uses her ears to listen

And she seems upset on her door

I wouldn't say she was calling Bruno a rat, think she meant that the rats were talking (squeaking) in the walls. And since she hears Bruno talking to them, that's probably why she says the rats are talking (instead of squeaking).

I NEVER NOTICED HER HITTING THE WALL DURING THE DANCE OMG.

That actually might not be a stretch. I didn’t think about that. That she don’t understand what the rats are saying🤔👏

Nah I think she just means she hears the rats squeaking. Plus yeah she knew Bruno was there, she announces that multiple time, but she'd know he's hiding and it seems like she just let him vibe. I took her knocking in secret like that as her telling him "It's time for dinner, join us" since she would've heard him eating near the family.

Yes thank you!!

I agree. My daughters favorite character from the movie is Dolores. It makes sense that Dolores isn’t a villain and won’t ever betray her family.

Camilo was only 5 when bruno disappear so probably doesn't remember him and uses the tales around the village as his only reference. Personally while I think that bruno did have a vision about dolores love being promised to another, i don't think he ever told her about that as she was only 12 when he disappeared, and what kind of adult tells a child something like that. more than likely she simply overheard the details of the vision with her super hearing.

Dolores' problem is that she is a good listener but no one listens to her. She's the only one singing in present tense of Bruno. She literally sings 'I can hear him now'!
And what would've happened, if she told everybody about Bruno? He would've lost his family. Yes, his last 10 years or so were miserable. But at least he had his family to keep him going on

I like the fact that Luisa feels weak since her powers are always on/she can't control their intensity so when they temporarily faded she was the only one who felt the loss cause she felt weak. It only flickered for a few seconds.
Isabella wouldn't feel it unless she was trying to make a plant when it was flickering.
Camillo wouldn't feel it unless he was shape-shifting when it happened.
Julieta wouldn't feel it unless her food didn't heal someone in front of her.
Antonio wouldn't feel it unless he was mid conversation with an animal
For Pepa we see when she's happy the cloud goes and of course she's happy at her sons ceremony so she wouldn't notice she can't make clouds now
Dolores was still in a noisy environment and it was a few seconds. You don't notice what you don't hear. Especially in a few seconds whilst still being surrounded by a lot of noise with roaring animals and a ceremony.
Luisa could feel it since her powers are always on so at that moment she felt weak cause her body couldn't support her muscled body since it lost its strength

Oh, that's a good point.

Imagine the relief she felt in that moment

One problems though - as far as we're aware, the whole "powers temporarily fade" thing is fairly new. Bruno had been patching cracks for years, so if the powers were temporarily lost EVERY time the cracks appeared, by the time the events of the movie occurred, it'd be seen as a normal glitch in the system that occasionally happened and no one would be freaking out about it. The panic that ensued means that the family DIDN'T always lose their powers temporarily whenever the walls began to crack. Just look at how Luisa reacted to feeling weak after she spoke with Mirabel, if that were the norm for her, she'd not react that way.
Will also point out - we only ever saw evidence that Luisa was having issues with her powers prior to the dinner, and then afterwards we saw Camilo have trouble controlling his shapeshifting. But that was the extent of it. Especially prior to the dinner, we've got no evidence that Dolores, even during the events of the movie, was having any trouble. If she did, she casually ignored it and failed to mention it.
So either she was in perfect position to hear the cracks at least at SOME point in her life, and just failed to mention them, or she WAS losing her gift for a short while on a fairly regular basis, and again failed to mention it - even when everyone was freaking out about the miracle dying. Either way, she is deliberately hiding important information about the magic dying.

Counter thought, she would've still known SOMETHING happened because she would've lost her ability to hear everything

Also, would they even have believed her?

It's most likely whenever she said she heard Bruno people assumed she was talking about somewhere further away.

@@rebekahking6276 my guess? Absolutely. Girl can apparently hear whatever is audible, her mentioning Bruno's voice and movement through the walls? They'd be confused, but believe her.

I see you almost everywhere

I'm guessing they would still wanna hear about Bruno from Dolores. Maybe he is gonna do something bad again? I don't think they would just let Dolores shut up in a situation like this. And he is in the wall this time.

but she'd also be able to hear Bruno and Mirabel talking about how it's a coin flip on whether Mirabel breaks or makes the magic. That concept of Bruno's foresight being not set in stone would exonerate Bruno, and even pull him back into the limelight because... you know, his power suddenly isn't a curse so much as a suggestion.

I like encanto fir years and yrs bruno has you mariano:

definitly, she keeps many many many secrets and had to learn from a young age which ones can be told and which ones cant. she was definitely protecting him but she didn't break the magic,the families dysfunction brought it down

Right you mlp

Or because she wasn't sure if it was her mind tricking her or Bruno actually being there

Yeah and also Isabela was sad at the final door too our beloved matpat is getting sloppy

@@JefePlaysYT no Isabella was not sad on the front door if you look closer.

@@misskaren1115 we'll you see Isabella is not happy about she getting married to Mariano and thats why she isn't fine and Dolores because she wants to marry Mariano but Mariano doesn't see her and Mariano see her like a normal villager and that why she t tranforms to fish lady but the fish represents her powers and the need to get rid of her powers so Mariano would see her over her sister Isabella.
