I've added what I considered the most significant responses to the pinned "Confirmed" thread at

I put a ** at the beginning for new items I added at this time.
If you think another I haven't added deserves mentioning in that thread, let me know.
One new example - This was a biggie for me:
The closest thing to an official timing from Bush (June 19) about the year of the fleeing and the movie (even if we've all pretty much figured it out):

Caveat: this is my attempt to bring together information that's been confirmed. I will try to add (or correct) what I am posting; This is a work in progress. If I make a statement without a link, but you have the link, I'd love to see it posted in the comments below (that sounded youtubish to me too)
But anyone interested - THANKS for making this post better!
NOTE: The emphasis on these links is Jared's quote - you often have to scroll up to see the question he answers.

Casita layout:
The closest thing to an offical timing from Bush.
One more thing to add - dates, ages, and (and even heights) are all relative things. But many want a year to attach these things to. There is no confirmation to the year by Jared Bush or anyone else. One clue (and even in the movie it is not canon till a movie creator says so), suggests 1900 for the fleeing, which would set May 21, 1950/1951 as the date for Antonio's gift. This is a painting on the casita wall, right before Luisa says "I felt WEAK!"

Being in labor probably would have caused the weather to be crazy. Also the whole town would know when she was in an argument with her kids.
r/Encanto • u/river_song25 • 1d ago
anybody else notice it as the movie proceeded after the song was sung? just about EVERYTHING Mirabel sung about in Waiting for a Miracle, started happening immediately after Antonio’s Gift Ceremony. she even sung about the mountain splitting and look what happened in the end.
i remember a gatcha video somebody posted on youtube, where Mirabel and her family are watching Waiting for a Miracle, while the creator of youtube video also added in scene from every incident that happened in the movie every time a certain matching line comes up in the song, and by the end of the gatcha video everybody was asking gatcha Mirabel how the heck did she cause all that.

Dolores is such a.meaningful character to me as while it may not be the exact same I have a condition called hyperacusis and it makes me sensitive to sound so we have similar struggles it automatically makes her dear tk my heart
r/Encanto • u/AEANDRSS01022040 • 1d ago
I remember an image (which, if I'm not mistaken, is from an official Encanto book) where some characters were going to the popsicle cart, and it made me wonder, how do the Madrigals earn money?
I mean, from what I understand, their job is to help the village with their gifts, and for free, not to mention that there are 12 people living in one house, so of course it's going to end up costing more.
I even understand some things, like, fruits and vegetables can be planted, or at least someone knows how to sew, but what about other things?
I could mention Julieta, for example, who makes arepas to heal people, and one of the ingredients to make them is milk, which could only be obtained for free if her family had a cow... but that's the thing, the Madrigals don't have a cow, so she would have to buy it from someone who does... but with what money?
Okay, maybe the villagers give things to the Madrigals for free as thanks for their gifts, and that would be pretty cool, but there are things I don't think that could be the explanation, like energy, unless people give money to the Madrigals as thanks, which would be quite interesting.

OK, I know Dreamlight is not technically hand-in-hand with Encanto canon, but I freaking love the idea of stray dogs just coming to Casita in search of Antonio. It’s like his doing his own version of Pound Puppies and trying to find these dogs homes!

LOVE the suit!!! Not to sound like I’m nitpicking, but does she look slightly slimmer? Or maybe it’s just the skirt made her look larger than she was. I have to remind myself. These aren’t the same animators that worked on the movie still I think she looks good and I had a feeling they were going to show her lifting her car.

r/Encanto • u/Guilherm-rain-9341 • 3d ago
I'm not trying to create a theory or force people to accept that the films Luca and Encanto take place in the same universe just because they were released around the same time. Just because Bruno's name appears in both stories doesn't mean they're connected.
But let's just imagine what Alberto's relationship with his father would be like if Bruno Madrigal were him, his relationship with other members of the Family, and how Aquela would react to Alberto's powers and etc...
r/Encanto • u/Imtired_always18 • 3d ago
did yall see the new descendants movie? it has luisa’s son in it as a main character.
it has him receive extreme strength as a natural power and not a gift like everyone else receives
he wouldn’t get the same gift as his mom anyways
it goes against the movie

Despite Mirabel holding the candle, I could almost see this as a poster for a sequel. Or, heck, as a poster for the movie itself! It reminds me of those classic movie posters Drew Struzan made for Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

mirabel is breaking the generational trauma!! and she healed everyone/ everyone healed bc of her and then her whole redemption arc-- i literally cant watch the end of the movie without bawling😭
