Many people wondered what changes might have occurred in the house after it was rebuilt, and this extra scene gives a glimpse into Mirabel's new room.

Amidst the chaos, Mirabel follows a group of rats and discovers a secret passage behind a portrait, where she finds Bruno. Bruno reveals he never left the house, and that the vision he had alternates between Mirabel saving and destroying the Casita, leading him to believe she is the key to the fate of Casita's magic. Not wanting Mirabel to be hurt, he broke the vision's tablet and disappeared. At Mirabel's insistence, Bruno reluctantly conjures another vision that at first resembles the previous one, but then depicts Mirabel embracing Isabela and strengthening the candle. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x Jones, Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster (November 23, 2021).

The happiness portrayed in Encanto isn't just escapism, it's defiance. It's about challenging that notion that we Colombians have to be miserable forever.... It's about the miracle of thriving when you seem almost cosmically predisposed to suffer ad infinitum. Because that's what Colombia is: a country of people trying their best to thrive in spite of themselves. Graham, Adam (November 23, 2021).

I always love when novelizations add something to the movie, and A Tale of Three Sisters does just that! Encanto was the "hardest film" to date for heads of animation Renato dos Anjos and Kira Lehtomaki because they were asked to fully develop a dozen characters, as opposed to other animated films which primarily feature two or three characters out of a large cast. [35] Accordingly, the characters required a degree of complexity that Disney Animation had previously never achieved. [36] Journalist Edna Liliana Valencia Murillo was the Afro-Caribbean consultant and contributed greatly towards Félix, Dolores, and Antonio's designs. [37] According to Howard, certain characters' Afro–Latin hairstyles were essential. [38] Neysa and Lorelay Bové, the costume design lead and associate production designer respectively, hoped to represent the film's various communities well. Neysa requested Colombian consultants, which included an anthropologist and botanist. [37]

I loved the movie and I wanted to learn more about the sister. Honestly when I decided to read this book, I expected something different. since it said "tale of three sisters", I did not expect it to be their point of view throughout the movie. it wasn't bad to have those POVs since we really saw it from Maribel's perspective in the movie but to read what she was thinking mentally was very enlightening. In the world building game Disney Magic Kingdoms, during a limited time Event with a storyline after the events of the film, were added Mirabel, Bruno, Isabela, Luisa and Antonio as playable characters, along with Casita and Isabela's Room as attractions.
