Little Encanto Details (From The Books, Not The Movie)
Note: I don’t know if the two books I read are considered entirely canon, so take all of this with a grain of salt. I read the Encanto Deluxe Junior Novel and Encanto: A Tale of Three Sisters to find these little things. (Now has a part 2 here!)
• Bruno’s room has a picture/sculpture of him with the eyes scratched out.
• Señora Guzmán is Mariano’s abuela, not his mother, and she has a reputation for being very proper.
• Isabela actually broke Mariano’s nose during the proposal.
• Bruno carries a gilded case of matches in his ruana (and the book actually called it a ruana!)
• I’m slightly unclear on this one, but the junior novelization seems to imply that Bruno’s gift can be physically painful for him to use.
• Pedro was a shopkeeper when he met Alma.
• The candle is Pedro and Alma’s wedding candle.
• Dolores ends up marrying Mariano.
• Mirabel eventually gets a door, which the whole family has decorated with something that reflects them.
• Mirabel owns and can play an accordion.
• The horsemen were apparently bandits.
• Isabela secretly wishes that her gift was more useful.
• Mariano often sent presents- chocolates, trinkets, and bouquets of flowers- to Isabela before he proposed.
• Pepa sometimes worries about the fact that Antonio doesn’t talk very much.
• Everyone loves Luisa’s hugs.
• Isabela made Luisa a flower crown to wear when she had her Gift ceremony.
• Antonio used to hate baths.
• Antonio has a river dolphin in his room.
• The candle never melts or drips, as well as never going out.
• Isabela doesn’t like messy foods, in case she spills them on her dress.
• Abuela’s room is very basic, not like the magical ones.
• Luisa’s room has weights, pulleys, ropes, and bars in it.
• Luisa likes hummingbirds.
• The townspeople refer to Abuela as “Doña Alma.”
• Camilo loves playing football with Casita. (Note: football in Colombia is what Americans call soccer.)
• Antonio has a box full of seashells.
• Julieta has a favorite hat that has peacock feathers on it.
• The fish lady’s name is Señora Osma. (Maybe Pezmuerto is her last name?) Update: Señora Osma/Ozma is actually the lady who asked Luisa to reroute the river. The fish lady is Señora Pezmuerto.
• Camilo often shows up at meals as someone besides himself.
• Bruno’s ruana is three sizes too big.
• Antonio used to have nightmares, and Mirabel would sit on the edge of his bed and put her hand on his arm to calm him down.
• Antonio can be a tiny bit scary- Bruno asks in Antonio’s room if the jaguar is going to eat him, and Antonio’s reply is a shrug and “not today.”
• Bruno doesn’t wash his underwear. (Update: this has been confirmed to be a joke.)
• Antonio likes to catch and release butterflies.
• Isabela thinks Mirabel is Agustín’s favorite.
• Félix can get fed up with Camilo’s shapeshifting into him- he’s described as looking “ready to box Camilo’s ears” in one scene.
• Isabela’s room has fireflies in it.
• Isabela doesn’t like to have anything in her room out of order.
• Luisa is afraid of the dark.
• Abuela used to call Pedro “Pedrito.”
• Camilo doesn’t like it when Pepa and Félix get mushy in front of him.
• Antonio pretends to feed the stuffed jaguar Mirabel gave him.
