* Camilo might be a good choice for a family explorer, as his gift would aid in passing unnoticed if the family is initially wary of revealing the Encanto's new accessibility to the outside world. He'd also be ''extremely'' interested in meeting new people, having long since run out of family members and villagers to try copying for the first time. And as a teenager, he's got loads of restlessness and curiosity to keep him going. Plus, being the Encanto's designated outside-world scout and (later) expert guide/liaison could become adult Camilo's way to serve the community.

* Given the Encanto's rustic 19th-to-early 20th-century technology level, chamber pots are probably still a thing in most homes.

homes. Just set your pot outside your door after use, and Casita can deliver it to the familial septic tank, rinse it with pump water, and return it clean.

* Isabela may even grow insect-eating sundews and pitcher plants around the door to her parents' room, the better to protect her father from beestings.

** That, or it's a ''very'' spartan room decorated with hyper-idealized pictures of her gifted (and ''only'' her gifted) family members, along with several heavily-locked closet doors - dusty, chained shut, and hidden behind furniture or portraits of Pedro - housing memories of the traumas, self-doubts, and regrets she represses.

** Alternately, Felix may take Pepa on regular campouts to a pretty lake or lookout point at the furthest edge of the Encanto to "get away from it all", so they can indulge without stirring up weather in the village or creeping their daughter out too badly.

* A potentially-'''Jossing''' problem with this one is that "Casita" is a feminine term, and the house would probably express dissatisfaction if everyone were constantly misgendering it.

\n** Depends on whether she actually needs to ''cook'' food to imbue it with healing properties, or if the sorts of food preparation which a five-year-old might safely be expected to undertake (e.g. buttering bread, peeling fruit) is sufficient.

** Whatever its decor, Camilo's room probably has a ''lot'' of redundant furniture - multiple lengths of beds, loads of different-height chairs, closets and drawers full of many sizes of clothing - to accommodate his various forms' needs.

* * The house will give one or more children of every other generation no powers to [[SecretTestOfCharacter test how the other family members will react,]] which fits into the narrative that the Encanto was granted by God's power. It wasn't just meant to test only Alma, but to send a clear message to the rest of the family that the powerless Madrigals are equally as important as they are.

to:

** Note that producing the occasional non-magical Madrigal may also be a safeguard against the family becoming too dismissive or condescending toward those who marry into the family, who likewise have no magic. Knowing that they, themselves, might well have lacked powers, even those with especially powerful gifts will have more cause to identify with, and relate to, their magicless parents and in-laws.

Added explanations and reasons.



to:

* Confirmed, though it's implied TheReasonYouSuck speech was the last straw that broke the Encanto.




to:

** The soldiers return for the escapees, now that there is a hole in the mountain.




to:

* The residents of the Encanto venturing outside for the first time in decades.




to:

** The door might be generic about a family member being able to get their gifts, but since Mirabel didn't end up with one, it started to fade? Casita has some control over the doors, but not beyond them, since the rooms are created and maintained by the magic itself. Since Mirabel's gift did not awaken, no room was generated for her, and the door vanished, since it wouldn't make sense for there to be a door with no room.




to:

** The doorknob was the final piece needed to "complete" Casita. If she had completed another part instead, or someone else had done it, the same thing probably would have happened.
* Casita doesn't have control over the rooms themselves. They're generated and maintained by the magic. Casita's influence stops at the door.
* The rooms themselves are meant to help the giftbearer, not just be a representation/storage space for their gifts. Otherwise, Antonio's room would not have a waterfall or tree, since neither of those are relevant to his gifts.




to:

** Considering her treatment of Mirabel at Antonio's gift ceremony, she might also be pushing Mirabel away to prevent her "bad luck" from affecting the other's gifts.
* She seems to be aware of the issues on some level, but not how they relate to the problems with the magic, or the cracks in the Casita.




[[WMG: Mirabel was unintentionally one of the causes for the magic fading]]
Mirabel not getting a gift causes her family (especially Abuela) to distance themselves from her, but also causes her to distance herself from the family, since she isn't special like them, and doesn't have a Gift.

Her despairing at Antonio's gift ceremony when he gets one, and is then excluded from the family photo made her wonder if it was too late for her to get a miracle/gift, as she mentions in "Waiting for a Miracle". The exclusion put a wedge between her and the family, making the cracks show up. If nothing had happened to the magic, she might have been permanently sidelined as the only blood-related Madrigal with no gift.

* Her confrontation in the climax being the last straw. Abuela did not see her favourably, thinking that Mirabel was acting out and sabotaging the others out of jealousy. Abuela might have cut her out of the family then, splitting it apart, causing the magic to fail completely, even though she didn't meant to break it.



** Even mentioning Bruno also upsets Pepa, with disastrous consequences for the local climate. Her rule about not talking about Bruno might be to stop Pepa from getting mad from hearing people talking about him, or to stop the rest of the family from being asked about him.




to:

* Since Bruno's visions aren't perfectly sequential, he might have mistaken multiple similar scenes for overlapping futures in his vision of Mirabel. She fights and hugs Isabella, and the Candle both goes out and gets brighter.
