Encanto (My Version)/Transcript

[The film starts with logos before the scene cuts to black and the credit comes up: "Disney presents" and the credit fades as we see young Mirabel who has her eyes closed and she opens them and sees a candle with Abuela Alma.]

Abuela: Open your eyes.

Young Mirabel: This is where our magic comes from?

Abuela: Mm-hmm. The candle holds the miracle given to our family.

Young Mirabel: How did we get a miracle?

Abuela: Long ago, when my three babies had just been born, your Abuelo Pedro and I were forced to flee our home. And though many joined us, hoping to find a new home, we could not escape the dangers of Alejandro Andres, who was betrayed by my relationship along with his comrades and your abuelo was lost after he cursed them all by being captured by the vines as they were unable to leave or die in Encanto.

[The flashback opens with Alma who holds three babies named Bruno, Pepa and Julieta as Pedro rubs Bruno's head as they see Alejandro Andres and his three comrades who come at them as the people flee their home. Pedro chants spell in Spanish as he sacrifices himself and the vines capture Alejandro and his brothers then the flashback ends.]

Alejandro: (screaming in anguish)

[The scene goes back to young Mirabel and Abuela.]

Abuela: Or so the story goes. But in our darkest moment, we were given a miracle. The candle became a magical flame that could never go out. And it blessed us with a refuge in which to live. A place of wonder.

Young Mirabel: An encanto.

Abuela: An encanto. The miracle grew. And our house, our casita itself came alive to shelter us. When my children came of age, the miracle blessed each with a magic Gift to help us. And when their children came of age…

Young Mirabel: They got magic, too.

Abuela: (chuckles) That's right. And together, our family’s Gifts have made our new home a paradise. Tonight, this candle will give you your Gift, mi vida. Strengthen our community, strengthen our home. Make your family proud.

Young Mirabel: Make my family proud.

[Young Mirabel touches the candle as the fireworks explode.]

Abuela: Yes, yes, casita, we're going.

[Abuela and young Mirabel go to the magic door as young Mirabel giggles and places her hand on the magic doorknob.]

Young Mirabel: What do you think my gift will be?

Abuela: You are a wonder, Mirabel Madrigal. I think your gift will be able to open doors and windows without touching it. And I love you.

Young Mirabel: (sighs) I love you too, Abuela.

[Young Mirabel grins and hugs Abuela. Abuela hugs her back as the title comes up: "Encanto". The song plays "La Familia Madrigal" as Mirabel wakes up and places her shoes under her feet.]

Mirabel: (exhales) Make your family proud. Good morning, Abuelo!

Luis: This country is devouring our souls. We are disgusting.

Juan: Speak for yourself. I am delicious. (laughs)

Alejandro: Do you really believe we still have souls?

Mirabel: Remember what Isabela said. What did I say to Isa?

[The scene flashes to young Mirabel who holds young Isabela after the door faded.]

Young Mirabel: (crying) I don't understand, Isa. Why didn't I get a gift? Did I do anything wrong?

Young Isabela: (comforts Mirabel from her crying) Hey. Gift or no gift. You're just as special as the rest of our family. You didn't do anything wrong...

[The scene flashes to Mirabel who bumps into Isabela the first time.]

Isabela: Watch it! Could you at least look where you're going? Some of us have important things to do unlike you!

Young Isabela: (hugs Mirabel as she feels happy) ...because you are enough.

Bruno: Rico, remember the day I left?

Rico: That was a long time ago.

Bruno: We saw your adopted father as a statue, and you told me that he was evil and he killed Pedro and then he was petrified to stone.

Mirabel: Yes, that's exactly what I've been saying. Your adopted father was brought back to life by you. And you're lying to us.

Rico: How did you know that, Bruno?

Bruno: That day, Rico. The day I left. (flashback; Bruno packs up his suitcase) We've been living together in a house of yours. I got homesick and I packed up my things.

Rico: You wanna give up now when we're this close to your sister's wedding?

Bruno: (heads to the door) This was my chance, you'll manage.

Rico: I can't do this without your sister's wedding, Bruno.

Bruno: I'm going home, Rico. Hate me if you want, but my mind is made up.

Rico: (angry, but then controls himself) Oh, I could never hate you. If you must go, then I'm... I'm sending you off with a toast. (pours two drinks) To our friendship. I would move heaven and earth for you, mi amigo. Salud!

(They toast and drink as Rico looks rather coldly at Bruno. Later on Pepa's wedding day...)

Bruno: You forced me to go to Pepa's wedding day, but I felt the darkness in my soul. I thought it must have been something I ate. Or something I drank. And then I had a hidden place after her wedding day. (has a realization after the flashback ends) You... turned me against my own family.

Rico: You're confusing stories with reality, Bruno.

Bruno: All this time... I thought it was just bad luck. I never thought that you might have... That you... (becomes furious and lunges at Rico for turning against his own family) How could you?!

Mirabel: Bruno!

Bruno: Rats! Get this traitor out of my sight! You've turned me against my own family during Pepa's wedding day! You liar! Have him taken care of. He's feeling loco.

Rico: Bruno! You can't do this to me! I'm your best friend, really! No! NO!! NOOO!!!

[The rats take Rico away.]

Bruno: (clears throat) I apologize for that outburst, Mirabel. Now, where was I? Oh, yes.

Isabela: (breathes deeply) Mira, listen. I'm sorry for everything. I was so worried about how to be señorita perfecta... that I kind of... forgot how to be a good big sister of yours. I understand if you don't want to... To... To... (suddenly, Mirabel hugs her with her eyes closed)

Mirabel: I'm sorry too, Isa. It's okay. I forgive you.

(And then Isabela flows her tears from her eyes as she hugs Mirabel back while her tears escape from her eyes.)

Mirabel: A long time ago, Pedro was our grandfather who betrayed Alejandro, our grandmother's unwanted soon-to-be husband. After the wedding, he got upset so he decided to take revenge on all of Colombia after he adopted a child from the Amazon. When our grandfather chanted the spell, he used the breath to protect Alma and her children. He cursed Alejandro, he cursed his comrades, so that they could never leave sight of Colombia again.

[The scene fades up to Alejandro who sliced Pedro's chest open with his sword as Pedro uses his last breath to petrify Alejandro and his comrades.]

Juan: (in Spanish) Where'd she go?

Alejandro: (in Spanish) She can't be far!

Mirabel: (in English) Or the forest would take them back, for all eternity.

[Pedro continues to chant in Spanish as Alejandro attempts to find Alma, but the vines grab his wrist, neck, and ankle along with his comrades.]

Juan: (yelps)

Alejandro: (screaming)

Mirabel: Alejandro hated Alma for betraying him. He trapped them in the forest and had them all petrified to stone where Encanto couldn't take them back to the village after she made sure no one else would hurt her or anyone else ever again.

Alejandro: (in Spanish) We have to get out of here!

[The vines strangle Alejandro and his comrades as they grunt and groan.]

Luis: (groans and petrifies to stone)

Juan: (petrifies to stone)

Alejandro: (in Spanish) Alma, you will pay for this! (petrifies to stone)

Mirabel: (in English) For years, they've been petrified to stone until they became monsters today. That's all I know, Isabela. I swear that's all I know.

Isabela: (sighs) I understand what you mean, Mirabel. But, if they became monsters today, then who had been revived?

Mirabel: It's Rico. He's Alejandro's adopted son.

Isabela: (gasps) That backstabbing traitor. Of course! I should have known better than that.

Mirabel: Abuela, please, let me just explain to you. Bruno has vision powers and now he's part of our family.

Abuela: He left this family!

Mirabel: He tried to go home to you and your daughters, but Rico turned him against his own family during Tia Pepa's wedding day!

(Abuela looks at Bruno shocked.)

Bruno: It's true, madre.

Abuela: And so what if it's true?! You leave me alone with your own sisters to raise and I'm just supposed to forgive you?!

Bruno: Madre, I... (starts to spasm as he surges with green light and he groans and collapses onto his knees)

Mirabel: Bruno!

Abuela: (gasps)

Bruno: (breathes shakily) I'm running out of time. It's the casita.

Abuela: It'll be destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Mirabel: (helps Bruno up) You don't have to forgive him, but we shouldn't forget him.

(The Madrigal family looks on in sadness)

Abuela: I wanted to forget you. I wanted your sisters to forget you too, but...

Bruno: This is my fault, not yours. I'm sorry, madre.

Abuela: Mirabel, if we help you take our miracle back, you will have a real door and a real room of your own?

Mirabel: Family comes first.

Abuela: (to Bruno) I... I can't forgive you, Bruno, but I will help you. (to Mirabel) Now, how do we get to Alejandro and his adopted son and comrades?

Mirabel: (gets an idea) I might know the way.

(The scene goes to Mirabel and her family who wear disguises to enter Alejandro's house. At Alejandro's living room, Mirabel and her family take off their disguises.)

Mirabel: (takes a fake beard off and screams in pain)

Abuela: (struggles to take a disguise off)

Bruno: Here, let me help you.

Abuela: Don't touch me. (takes a disguise off)

Mirabel: Everyone clear on the plan?

Agustin: Find Alejandro.

Felix: Petrify him and his comrades to stone.

Julieta: Take back our gifts.

Bruno: Got your weapons?

Abuela: Now we just have to find Alejandro Andres and...

Alejandro: Yes?

Abuela: (screams)

Alejandro: Don't I know you?

Abuela: (removes her shoe from her foot and hits Alejandro across his face) That's for murdering the love of my life!

Alejandro: Who? Who the...

Bruno: She's talking about my padre. He was the love of your life, right?

Abuela: That's right, Bruno. I'm still angry at Alejandro.

Alejandro: Bruno? How did you... (groans)

Abuela: (hits Alejandro with her shoe again) And that's for trying to turn Bruno against his own family!

Alejandro: Family?

Mirabel: She's talking about Bruno!

Alejandro: You! (realized) Wait. You're just like your uncle Bruno?

Mirabel: The powers!

Alejandro: Huh?

[The Madrigal family looks furious at Alejandro.]

Alejandro: Uh... (runs off)

Abuela: After him!

[The Madrigal family gives chase to Alejandro.]

Alejandro: Comrades! Rico! Help me out!

Rico: After I turned Bruno against his own family, this is how you repay me.

Mirabel: No. This is! (pulls the lever)

[The rope ties Rico's foot and gravitates.]

Rico: (screams)

Mirabel: Jackass!

(Suddenly, the bees fly around Rico's face.)

Rico: (swats at bees) Get off of me!

Juan: (in Spanish) It looks like you haven't been very nice to my little friends.

Rico: (in English) Alejandro! Help me to get the candle! I'll give you anything you want! Money, casitas, Spain!

Alejandro: South America is not to be trusted.

[Rico attempts to kill Alejandro, but Alejandro launches his snakes to attack Rico's face.]

Rico: (groans)

Juan: (in Spanish) Alejandro, Mirabel Madrigal has the candle!

Alejandro: Get her!

Mirabel: Mariano, tell Dolores that I would've been the best cousin she's ever had.

Mariano: Understood.

Alejandro: Alma! Give me the candle!

Juan: (in Spanish) Alma has the candle in her pocket!

Rico: (in English) Enough is enough! It's now time for you to die!

Mariano: Right. I think we've had quite enough of you.

[Mariano beats up Rico.]

Mariano: Hasta la vista, amigo. (punches Rico to the wall)

Rico: (groans)

[A big rubble falls down.]

Rico: (swears in Spanish)

[A big rubble crushes Rico, killing him instantly and the Madrigal family's powers fly back to their respective family then a rock falls on Rico's shoe and the ground.]

Dolores: (gasps)

Mariano: Um, I think that's too dark for kids.

Dolores: (whispers) Oh.

Bruno: Madre, it's not Mirabel's fault. She was in my vision because she was the only one that could bring everyone back together. I gave her the vision, I'm the one to blame for all of this.

Abuela: Oh, Bruno, my baby. I never meant for this to happen. I caused so much pain to this family. Lo siento, mama isn't meaning to hurt you. But you don't need to take the blame. I can see now I was putting too much pressure on everyone. And just like casita, too much pressure can cause cracks and even crumble. I was scared to lose a miracle but I was losing the family. I should have seen what I was doing to everyone when you left. That should've opened my eyes, but I became even more blind to what I was doing. Now, I'm very sorry for everything, Bruno, my son. Can you please forgive me of my sins?

Bruno: Oh, mother. Of course I forgive you.

Abuela: Come here, Bruno.

[Bruno hugs Abuela as Abuela shows Mirabel the candle.]

Abuela: Mirabel, you've earned the candle. And now you're ready to have a power of your own, a real door of your own...

Mirabel: And a real room of my own?

Abuela: That's right, Mirabel. You're gonna have a real room of your own.

[Mirabel smiles at Abuela's acceptable at blessing.]

Bruno: You can retrieve the candle.

[Mirabel reaches out to retrieve the candle, but Alejandro swipes her away.]

Alejandro: You're not going anywhere!

[Abuela yells and charges at him, but he pushes her away.]

Bruno: Mother! (runs to her)

[Luisa, Antonio, Camilo and Isabela surround Alejandro.]

Alejandro: Stay back, stay back! All of you, stay back! Not one more step!

[Parce tries to tug Mirabel back by the shoe.]

Mirabel: Parce!

[Alejandro flings Mirabel to the ground.]

Abuela: Alejandro, stop! Leave Mirabel alone!

Alejandro: I've worked too hard, Alma. Too hard to let one of your grandchildren destroy everything I had.

Abuela: Mirabel's the only child who could bring the miracle back, Alejandro. You killed my husband, Pedro Madrigal.

Alejandro: (furiously) Your husband was just a threat! You think I'd let Mirabel take your son back to the Madrigal family with you? To bring the miracle back to life after you've rebuilt the house alive? No.

Mirabel: (angrily points at Alejandro) You're a coward!

Alejandro: I am Alejandro Andres, the greatest grandparent of all time!

Mirabel: (stands up) Pedro was the real grandparent! You're just the guy who murdered him and turned my Tio Bruno against his own sister during her wedding day after Rico revived you back to life!

Pepa: (gasps)

Felix: Mirabel was right. She was telling the truth to us. We should have made Bruno apologize to her after what he did.

Osvaldo: Did she just say, "murdered"?

Alejandro: (grabs Mirabel by the shirt) I am the one who's willing to be with my unwanted soon-to-be wife what it takes to be part of the family. Whatever it takes. (stabs Abuela in the abdomen)

Abuela: (groans)

Alejandro: A husband's blade cuts deepest. (the snakes strangle Abuela) Give me the candle.

Mariano: Mirabel told me to tell you that you would've been the best cousin she's ever had.

Dolores: Where's the candle?

(The snakes unwrap the cloth to Alejandro as they see an arepa and snarl.)

Alejandro: (sighs)

Abuela: I'm sorry, old friend.

Mariano: (gives the candle to Dolores) She wanted you to have it.

Alejandro: (in Spanish) Stop the casita! Stop it now!

Dolores: Mirabel. (runs to Mirabel)

Mariano: Wait.

Dolores: Mirabel, no!

Alejandro: (in English) No!

[Alejandro's entire house crumbles along with the Madrigal's house as the vines grab Mirabel, Alejandro, Juan, Trejo and Luis by the neck, wrists and ankles as they pull them to the trees as they struggle.]

Luis: (screaming)

Alejandro: Mirabel, what have you done?! This is worse than death! This is torture!

Mirabel: (grunts)

[Isabela, Luisa, Antonio, Camilo, Agustin, Julieta, Pepa, Felix, Dolores, Abuela, Senora and Mariano run to Mirabel as Trejo grunts and petrifies to stone.]

Alejandro: (screams while he petrifies to stone)

Juan: (screams and petrifies to stone)

Luis: (screams and petrifies to stone)

Alejandro: (screams and completely petrifies to stone)

[Mirabel petrifies to stone as Isabela, Luisa, Antonio, Camilo, Agustin, Julieta, Pepa, Felix, Dolores, Abuela, Senora and Mariano show up too late to see her as a statue.]

Dolores: (places her hands on Mirabel's petrified face) Oh, you're the best cousin I could ever have. (places the candle on Mirabel's hand) I love you, Mirabel. (kisses Mirabel's petrified cheek)

Mariano: Come on, Dolores. You did the best you could. She sacrificed herself defeating Alejandro and his comrades.

[The candle goes inside the statue as the stone cracks and Mirabel lets out a deep exhale. They leave as the stone cracks more as Mirabel moves her fingers. Parce growls softly.]

Isabela: Mirabel?

[Mirabel becomes free and hugs Isabela.]

Isabela: Mirabel! You're back.

Mirabel: Yes, I'm back. (her eyes glow pink)

Mariano: It's a miracle. She glows pink from her eyes like her uncle Bruno.

Dolores: Yes, we all know that. But I love you. (shares her first kiss with Mariano)

Mirabel: (sniffles) You're both my world.

(Mirabel, Dolores and Mariano hug each other as they laugh and Parce meows.)

Pedro: Congratulations, my granddaughter.

Mirabel: Abuelo Pedro? (sees Pedro as a ghost) Pedro! (hugs Pedro) I've missed you so much.

Pedro: I've missed you too, Mirabel, my granddaughter. You have defeated Alejandro and his comrades by petrifying them all to stone permanently once again. And you have a gift of your own. I'm so proud of you.

Mirabel: Thank you, Abuelo. You're the best grandfather I've ever had.

Pedro: You know, I think there's a good reason the house should be rebuilt by your family.

Mirabel: You really think so, Abuelo?

Pedro: Yes, Mirabel. I really know so. You've made an ultimate sacrifice.

Abuela: (gasps) Pedro?

Madrigals: (murmuring)

Antonio: Is it really him?

Camilo: I'll be damned, it's Abuelo Pedro!

Pedro: Alma.

Abuela: (hugs Pedro) Pedro!

Pedro: It's so good to see you. I missed you.

Abuela: (sighs) I missed you too, my dear Pedro.

[The song plays "Dos Oruguitas" as Pedro holds Abuela in his arms.]

Pedro: Dos oruguitas enamoradas

Pasan sus noches y madrugadas

Llenas de hambre

Siguen andando y navegando un mundo

Que cambia y sigue cambiando

Navegando un mundo

Que cambia y sigue cambiando

Dos oruguitas paran el viento

Mientras se abrazan con sentimiento

Siguen creciendo, no saben cuándo

Buscar algún rincón

El tiempo sigue cambiando

Inseparables son

El tiempo sigue cambiando

Ay oruguitas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver

Hacia adelante seguirás

Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas

Hay que partir y construir

Su propio futuro

Ay oruguitas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver

Hacia adelante seguirás

Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas

Hay que partir y construir

Su propio futuro

Dos oruguitas desorientadas

En dos capullos bien abrigadas

Con sueños nuevos

Ya solo falta hacer lo necesario

En el mundo que sigue cambiando

Tumbando sus paredes

Ahí viene nuestro milagro

(Nuestro milagro)

(Nuestro milagro)

(Nuestro milagro)

Ay mariposas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver

Hacia adelante seguirás

Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas

Hay que volar, hay que encontrar

Su propio futuro

Ay mariposas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver

Hacia adelante seguirás

Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas

Hay que volar, hay que encontrar

Su propio futuro

Ay mariposas, no se aguanten más

Hay que crecer aparte y volver

Hacia adelante seguirás

Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas

Hay que volar, hay que encontrar

Su propio futuro

[The song ends.]

Pedro: I believe our house should be rebuilt by us.

Abuela: (gasps) Really?

Pedro: Yes. I think it's dawn. I believe I'll see you when your house has been rebuilt, mi amor.

Abuela: I'll see you too, Pedro. Goodbye.

Pedro: Adios, mi amor.

[Pedro disappears as Abuela sniffles and sighs happily.]

Abuela: Come on, we have to rebuild our house.

Camilo: Well, ever since we don't have a house, maybe we should rebuild it when we return.

Felix: (hits Camilo softly with his arm)

Camilo: (grunts and chuckles) All right, let's all go back and rebuild it.

Luisa: Great idea. And you know what? I'm feeling much better now when our powers returned to us.

Mirabel: I'm glad they did, Luisa. (she and Isabela share a hug with Luisa)

Luisa: Thanks.
