Does Mirabel Get a Door?

The key present in Encanto has — perhaps — been revealed. In case you’re obsessive about the film (or your children are) this will blow your thoughts. Put together your self! Spoilers coming, too!

Within the very first scene of Encanto, Disney’s newest film concerning the magical Madrigal household, the youngsters of the city beg Mirabel to inform them the entire Madrigal household’s items. Mirabel, pleased with her household, rattles them off in a catchy track (thanks, Lin-Manuel Miranda) Mirabel’s mother heals accidents with meals. Her Aunt Pepa can management the climate, and Uncle Bruno can inform the long run. Her sister Louisa is tremendous sturdy, and Isabella has a inexperienced thumb. Her cousin Camilo can shapeshift and Dolores has superhearing. However what about Mirabel? Does Mirabel have powers? Does Mirabel get a door?

“Oh, Mirabel didn’t get a present!” Her cousin Dolores pipes in. Encanto flashes again to indicate that when it was Mirabel’s flip to obtain a present as a bit lady, she was skipped for some motive. She grows up “regular,” with no magical powers, surrounded by her super-powered household. No present was given to her.

However what if that’s not true? A Reddit consumer by the identify of NothingReallyAndYou posted a theory that has everybody rethinking all the film.

“Mirabel is the brand new Keeper of the Miracle.” The Reddit consumer wrote. “She’s the brand new Abuela — the brand new head of the household, and the village.” They go on to clarify that nobody else within the household besides Abuela can handle Casita, the enchanted home all of them reside in. Solely Mirabel and Abuela have the ability to command the home. Mirabel asks the home questions, like if it may possibly flip off Bruno’s sand when she enters his room, and to assist her climb as much as Abuela’s tower when the home is falling down. The home obeys her command, speaking to her via clinking ground tiles and swinging railings down for her to climb up. However nobody else in Mirabel’s household moreover Abuela and Mirabel can talk with Casita.

Subsequent, the butterfly. When Mirabel’s Uncle Bruno has a imaginative and prescient of Mirabel in entrance of a damaged Casita, at first he’s not in a position to see the lacking piece of the imaginative and prescient: the Butterfly. Solely when Mirabel joins him is the butterfly revealed, which exhibits Mirabel the place she wants to go to so she will reconcile along with her Abuela and heal her household’s misplaced powers.

Lastly, there’s Mirabel’s door. We’re led to imagine that it dissolved when Mirabel was a bit lady as a result of she was denied a present. Each different particular person in her household obtained to open their door, obtain their present, and get a huge magical room that’s the stuff of desires. However NothingReallyAndYou reveals that, truly, Mirabel doesn’t get a door or a room as a result of all the Casita is hers. Her present was the magic within the very partitions of the Casita. She is the subsequent caretaker, the chief, the middle of the household. Mirabel is the Keeper of the Miracle.

The web is backing this concept, too. “That is 100% it. You nailed it.” One Reddit consumer stated. “Sure sure sure sure! 1000000000000000% I like this!” wrote one other. Extra customers chimed in so as to add proof from the film to this concept, going deeper into Abuela’s backstory and small particulars from the film that others missed. This concept, it appears, holds up fairly nicely to the scrutiny
