Question

For those who know and have watched the movie ENCANTO

you have to know the musical stuff.

The songs in Encanto give clues to the characters and/or the plot points of the musical. For each of these songs, choose which kind of clue you get and describe what lead you to that answer:

1) The Family Madrigal
2) Waiting on a Miracle
3) Surface Pressure
4) What Else Can I Do?
5) We Don’t Talk About Bruno

Answer 1

“abuela runs this show!” which shows that she is the one who created and runs everything around there.

“all i need is a chance” which she is basically begging for a chance, to be like one of her siblings.

luisa has way to much pressure on her, cause of her gift and she just wants to be treated like all her other siblings.

they don’t talk about bruno because they think he’s way evil than he is, it was his gift and thinks he’s the bad guy for looking into the future.

Answer 2

Refer to the longer explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The line "Abuela runs the show" is an early hint about how Abuela orchestrates everything about the family. The line, (The beauty and brawn can do no wrong" is an early hint at the pressure Isebella and Luisa to keep up their respective images, (Isebella as the village's perfect princess, and Luisa as the village's super strong supporter).

2) The entire song about Mirabel wanting a miracle herself to be more like her family foreshadows how she later becomes the holder of the "second" miracle, bringing the magic back to her home when she places her doorknob into the house's new front door.

3) The lines about Luisa worrying she's failing, and the lines about cracking, foreshadow how Luisa, along with the rest of the family, lose their gifts as a result of the pressure they've been under, and the cracks in the Casita worsening.

4) Isabella's lines about how she's free to do what she really wants ultimately foreshadow the true conclusion if the film, the family forgives each other, and eventually get their gifts back, with the high pressure and standards they once felt no longer an issue, for the most part.

5) Dolores's lines about how she can "always hear him stumbling and mumbling" foreshadows that Dolores secretly knows Bruno is still in the house, as she later admits. Her line, "I associate him with the sound of falling sand", foreshadows Bruno's room/powers being sand based.
