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 brothers and your abuelo was lost after he cursed them all by being turned to stone.

[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 two brothers 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 agony)

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

Abuela: 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!
