SONGWRITER Reacts to "We Don't Talk About Bruno" (From "Encanto")

The whole thing with Isabella (flower girl) singing in majors instead of minors and overly enunciating is a really excellent piece of character work by Miranda. She's the 'perfect' character, so it makes sense that she would sing her parts 'perfectly.'

The funniest part of this video is Joel explaining context snippets back to us, like we haven't all already seen Encanto 3x+ and listened to this song 20x+

“Is he evil? I feel like this is gonna be one of those reveals that he’s not actually evil.” HE’S F*CKIN RIGHT

The fact that Camillo's (the shapeshifter) voice act had never done any VA work before this really says a lot about his natural talent.

I love that cousin Dolores was on top of Bruno's story, "always left abuela and the family fumbling, grappling with prophesies they couldn't understand".. that's the whole story right there.

This has to be one of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s best songs. So many melodies smushed together to make a king of a song

It always makes me laugh seeing Bruno vibing on the balcony behind Mirabel and Dolores at 1:19 - 1:21 .

"Oh it's Colombian, I thought it was Mexican" you have no idea how much misery you invoked with that single sentence

I love how this song was structured like a villian song and his design is too with his color and eyes and such. But if you actually look at the lyrics none of it is his fault they just blame him.

Love when he says at 3:22 "There is so much happening". As a Colombian I can say yeah, the movie really captures the vibrant life in Colombia. A melting pot of cultures, races and musical influences.

This song is so catchy that there’s been like many MANY times where people have started randomly singing it at school and people just join in and it’s great-

5:17 After taking tours of Disney's music department, they quite literally only hire the best of the best musicians when recording music. Even their live performers at Disneyland have to go through a cut throat audition process. When I was in highschool, my drumline coach at the time was also performing at Disneyland and he told me that he had to go through a few auditions just to get the job and 100's of other drummers didn't make the cut, but were still highly skilled/talented. So yeah Disney only takes the best that the world offers.

Don't be shy, react to the other songs. Especially Surface Pressure because Jessica really did a great job on Luisa's character.

If you’re focusing on songwriting, you should take a look on surface pressure. It’s genius and the song is amazing too.

Maaaaan, this is what happens when you give the most talented creator in their field a nearly unlimited budget and say “have fun.” More of LMM making killer stuff. I don’t care if it’s with Disney or not, I just want MORE!

1:41 : the "Hey" it sounds like "pain" from song Believer

While I like "we don't talk about Bruno", I actually prefer "surface pressure". It's a very relatable song and currently stuck in my head.

Next you should react to Surface Pressure from Encanto, where the lead singer has a cool alto voice and awesome mixed voice!

1:20 Bruno just vibing on the balcony in the background

3:44, yes, exactly. Bruno’s power is to see the future
