Encanto Easter Eggs and Best Quotes

Share

Encanto has lots of callbacks and Easter eggs to other Disney movies. Here is a list of Easter eggs, along with some of our favorite quotes.

It’s important to note that a lot of storytelling happens in the translation of the songs, but if you don’t speak Spanish, you are missing a lot. Flip on the subtitles in English to see what you’re missing in the beautiful songs.

Bring home the magic when Encanto arrives on Digital December 24 and 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and DVD February 8. It will also be streaming on Disney+ December 24!

Encanto Easter Eggs and Hidden Gems

One of the best Easter Eggs you might have missed from the very beginning is that Bruno was in the movie posters all along!Encanto Movie Poster Bruno

The butterfly plays a key role in the Madrigal family. You’ll find it hidden throughout the movie, including in the candle, made of yarn on Mirabel’s dress, and also in the visions. One of the other great things about her outfit is that it has a bisexual rainbow on her dress to signify Stephanie Beatriz coming out publicly as bisexual. Her dress also features symbols that match all the other members of her family, signifying that she is what brings them all together.

Before the children receive their gifts, they all wear white (with butterfly accents). After they receive their gifts there outfit changes to reflect their gifts. The color of their outfits also symbolizes which family the grandchildren/cousins belong to, so it doesn’t get so confusing that you need a whole song about it.Family Mardrigal Symbols Encanto

Madrigal Family Symbols:

  • Abuela – Butterfly. As I mentioned above, it is the Madrigal family symbol, but it appears on Abuela’s dress.
    • Bruno – Hourglass. Seen on his poncho, but his room door is also shaped like an hourglass with the sand flowing. His color is green, and anything that has to do with his visions is green.
    • Pepa – Sun. The collar around her dress has rays of sunshine, and so do her earrings. There are also hidden Mickey’s cut out of the hem of her dress. Her family wears warm colors (fitting for sunshine) of yellows, orange, and red.
      • Dolores – Sound Waves
      • Camilo – Chameleons.
      • Antonio – Animals.
    • Julieta – Heart. Healing hands, herbs, and a mortar and pestle are all featured on her dress, with each element with a heart on it (healed with love). Her family wears cool colors of blues and purples.
      • Isabela – Flowers.
      • Luisa – Dumbell.
      • Mirabel – All of the symbols. Her glasses are also green, tying back to Bruno’s vision. Mirabel is the family’s Gift. (Note: At the end of the movie when Mirabel brings back the magic of the house, the front door shows Mirabel in the middle and the Butterfly is no longer on Abuela and now on Mirabel to symbolize the Miracle being passed down to Mirabel.)Encanto Mirabel Inherits the Magic from Abuela

The nursery where Mirabel shares a room with Antonio until he gets his Gift is filled with pictures of their family. There is a sewing machine and sketches of the dress she is wearing. This showcases how Mirabel made her clothing unique to include the whole family.Mirabel Dress

Disney is starting to throw in Easter eggs from other studios like Pixar, which makes some of these hidden gems so good.

During Surface Pressure, there are a lot of hidden gems. The first is the way the donkeys become part of the song, like the reindeer from Frozen 2 during Lost in the Woods.Frazen 2 Reindeer Encanto Easter Egg

Then Luisa talks about the Titanic, you can see the donkeys playing on the deck as they do in the movie before the ship sinks. “Gentlemen. It has been a privilege playing with you tonight.” Titanic Encanto Donkeys

Luisa also mentions Hercules battling Cerberus. The donkeys are the cheering crowd for this one. Hercules Encanto Easter Egg

The row of doors looks like the ones you find in Monsters Inc.

In Bruno’s room on the wall, he has famous art on the wall, but the rats replace the main subject like Leanardo de Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. You can also see a boot with a plant in it from Wall-E.Wall-e Boot Encanto Easter Egg

When Bruno starts singing in All of You, he says, “Let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, LET IT GO!” Which is a fantastic nod to Frozen, and they even use a second of the music in the song. Encanto Let It Go

Last but not least, the upcoming movie Strange World got an Easter egg at the end of the credits!

Nods to Colombia

Some of the symbols I mentioned above are also very important to Colombia. Colombia has the most butterflies in the world. The cattleya trianae orchid, commonly known as “May flower” or “Flor de Mayo,” has been the national flower of Colombia since 1936. The flower is grown in the home, it is featured on a broach on Isabela’s collar, in her hair, and she even sings about it in What Else Can I Do?

In Dos Oruguitas (Two Caterpillars in English), it tells the story of how Abuela met her husband, started a family, and came to the encanto with the miracle. The song begins with the yellow butterfly, and it also showcases the metamorphosis and transformation of the family. Again, I highly suggest you watch the movie with English subtitles so you can see the translations of these amazing songs.

Animals native to Colombia appear in Antonio’s room like tapirs, sword-billed hummingbirds, jaguar, capybara, coati, and more.

Little Boy: Just tell us what everyone can do!

Mirabel: And that’s why coffee is for grown-ups.

Mirabel: Uh-Huh.

Little Girl: If I was you, I’d be really sad.

Mirabel: I will save the miracle. Wait how do I save a miracle!?

Toucan Encanto

Mirabel: Wait. Have you been in here patching the cracks?

Bruno: Oh that? No, no, no. I’m too scared to go near those things. All the patching’s are done by Hernando.

Mirabel: Who is Hernando?

Bruno (with hood): I’m Hernando, I’m scared of nothing! (takes off hood) It’s actually me. I used to say my real Gift was “acting.” (bucket on head) I’m Jorge, I make the spackle.

Mirabel: How long have you been back here?

Mirabel: You can’t say the weight of the world is on your shoulders. The End. If our fate’s up to me, me says have another vision.

Mirabel: Sometimes family weirdos just get a bad rep. You can do this.

Bruno: You see, you’re missing the point. The fate of the family is not up to her. It’s up to you. You’re exactly what this family needs. You just have to see it. By yourself, after I leave.

Bruno: Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock on wood.
