Encanto Books - Tumblr Posts

Okay, but have we ever talk about how Mariano in books are always seems to help Dolores in Casita's rebuild and spends the entire time with her. He was even mentioned as the only one who could stand Dolores talking all the time.

Do you really want me to believe that he was in love with Isabela to begin with?

I haven't noticed this before, but in Encanto graphic novel Julieta covers Antonio when the cracks appear during the proposal dinner

(sorry for quality)

encanto facts & other information gathered from the books ( book havers please correct me if i got any wrong + feel free to add in other things that i missed!)

main source acc to book havers i've seen:

→ deluxe junior novelization by angela cervantes (retelling of the movie with scenes/dialogue that didnt make it into the final cut. i think i once saw someone make a screenplay ver of it for ppl who can't get the book but ive yet to confirm)

→ the tale of three sisters by anika fajardo (another retelling of the film but this time from the perspective of mirabel, luisa, isabela !! ive seen ppl like this one the most since they rlly do expand upon luisa & isabela's characters)

during alma and agustín’s argument, when she yells out “think of the family!” agustín replies with “she’s [mirabel] my daughter, does she not count?”

pepa is an incredibly caring mother who supports her children completely.

there’s a scene after mirabel was discovered and the family were apologizing to e/o where dolores & camilo confessed their insecurities: “sometimes rather than just listening, i'd like to speak too” and “i’m good at changing & i want to change in other ways… maybe i can finally be myself” respectively (those aren’t the exact quotes, but they’re the essence of their confessions)

while rebuilding casita, dolores was constantly talking and mariano did nothing but listen attentively to her.

dolores was still the one who overheard the prophecy, but it was camilo who revealed it during the dinner scene !!

isabela and camilo were chasing after mirabel when casita was falling apart, not the candle (edit: apparently d*sney confirmed it somewhere im not completely certain if it was thru the books, but also the director said on twt that camilo & isabela were chasing after the miracle so im not sure which one’s the truth ,, the latter leads to some interesting character analyses but i still personally prefer the former)

isabela sprouts out daisies whenever she’s nervous!!!!!

luisa’s ears turn red whenever she’s embarrassed or lying!!!!!

dolores & isabela are close w/ one another!!!!!

isabela says that mirabel’s ceremony was one of the saddest days of her life.

isabela treated mirabel like that bc she was jealous of her

since her sister doesn’t have powers, she envies the fact that she doesn’t have to shoulder the burden of maintaining perfection and abuela’s approval…

since isabela cares deeply about what others think about her, agustín standing up for mirabel after the dinner scene made her feel like he favors her.

when antonio says “i need you” luisa thought he was talking to her (since it’s a phrase that she often hears directed @ her) and before she could approach him, julieta stops her.

agustín & félix are Best Friends who r both musicians (piano & tiple respectively)

félix taught dolores how to play the tiple!!!!!

félix enjoys making people laugh/smile (like father like son fr)

luisa is afraid of the dark :(((

luisa’s only able to focus on one thing at a time

during the scene where pepa was hyperventilating, she wasn’t worried because of the ruined proposal, but because of the thought of losing her gift.

camilo shared the same worry that mirabel might make him lose his, as well, but pushed his own emotions aside to comfort his mom.

pepa was often told to bottle her emotions up because of her powers, which felt like hell because she wanted to do nothing but cry when bruno left (she missed her brother dearly)

sometimes bruno’s visions hurt so much and he can’t do anything to control them, so sometimes he’s forced to repeat the same prophecies

when casita was crashing down, dolores originally had to save antonio from his room. it proved to be a worrisome task since he could barely hear anything.

mirabel kept a smile on her face after her ceremony but dolores knew that it was a façade esp since she heard her crying in the nursery

i think this is the ending in one of the books, but there’s one scene where after casita gets fixed, the madrigals surprise mirabel with her own door that’s decorated with symbols that represent each member—like the ones embroidered on her skirt !! one of the posters for the movie had a door which seems to share the exact description as in the book.
