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 captured by the vines.

[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!

Rico: 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: Adios, amigo. (punches Rico to the wall)

Rico: (groans)

[A big rubble falls down.]

Rico: Mierda.

[A big rubble crushes Rico, killing him instantly and the Madrigal family's powers fly back to their respective family.]

Isabela: (gasps)

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

Isabela: (whispers) Oh.

Abuela: Bruno, I know what it's like to think that you've been betrayed, and we were so wrong. Can you forgive us?

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

[Bruno reaches out to hug Abuela, but Alejandro swipes him away.]

Alejandro: You're not going back to your family!

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

Bruno: Mother! [runs to her]

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

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

Abuela: Alejandro, stop! Leave Mirabel alone!

Alejandro: I've spent years being turned to stone, Alma. Years that I've been trying to win you back!

Abuela: No, you haven't! You're absolutely the most horrible man I've ever met!

Alejandro: (angrily) She's just a threat! You think I'd let Mirabel take Bruno back to the Madrigal family with you? To receive a gift alive? No!

Mirabel: (angrily points at Alejandro) You're nothing but a coward!

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

Mirabel: Pedro was the real grandfather! You're just the guy who murdered him and turned my Tio Bruno against his sister after he revived you!

Pepa: (gasps)

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

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. Give me the candle!

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

Isabela: Where's the candle?

(The snakes unwrap the cloth to Alejandro as they snarl.)

Alejandro: Impossible.

Abuela: I'm sorry, old friend.

Alejandro: (in Spanish) Stop the house! Stop it!

Isabela: Mirabel. (runs to Mirabel)

Mariano: Wait.

Isabela: Mirabel, no!

Alejandro: (in English) No!

[The entire house crumbles as the vines grab Mirabel, Alejandro, Juan, and Luis by the neck, hands and feet as they pull them to the trees as they struggle.]

Juan: (screaming)

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

Mirabel: (grunts)

[Isabela and Mariano run to Mirabel as Trejo grunts and turns to stone.]

Alejandro: (screams while he turns to stone)

Juan: (screams and turns to stone)

Luis: (screams and turns to stone)

Alejandro: (screams and completely turns to stone)

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

Isabela: Mirabel! No. Mirabel. Please, no. (cries and mourns Mirabel) I'm sorry, Mirabel. I should have forgave you for everything you've done. (kisses Mirabel's cheek) I love you. You're the best sister I've ever had. (places the candle on Mirabel's hand)

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

[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.

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 brothers by turning them all to stone permanently once again. And you have a gift of your own. I'm so proud of you.
