  Fun fact: The crew had to fight for Luisa to be a large muscular woman because they thought no one would like a buff woman and they merchandized the heck out of Isabela because they thought she&apos;d be the favorite of little girls but actually Luisa ended up being much more popular with girls

  I&apos;m surprised they didn&apos;t specifically talk about Luisa&apos;s line: &quot;I&apos;m pretty sure I&apos;m worthless if I can&apos;t be of service.&quot; because that&apos;s the one that always hits me the most in terms of what it says about her in such a concise manner.

  My favorite part of the Hercules line is that in the original Greek myth, Hercules did not want to fight Cerberus so he brought him dog biscuits, picked him up, and carried him to Hades to ask for permission. A couple of different myths actually have people bringing honey coated biscuits into the underworld to avoid Cerberus, and the ones that didn’t were usually less successful. Turns out the dog of the underworld is still just a good boy.

  When Mirabel is a child, you can see her drawings on the walls of her bedroom, and they are surprisingly beautiful for a child&apos;s drawings, you can clearly recognize the people in her family.<br>The first time we see her as an adult, she removes a piece of colored thread from her skirt, to let us know that she have embroidered it. She’s carrying a bag with an insanely complex design embroidered. Her clothes look amazing, the colors perfectly balanced, and the embroidery is made of different techniques; you clearly need to manage many skills to obtain that result, both artistic and manual.<br>Most people in real life would be envious of her talent, but still her family thinks she doesn’t have one.<br><br>She handmade decorations for the house, without using any magic but her own skills, and when she tried to show abuela what she had done, as her way to honor the family, what abuela responded was basically telling Mirabel she is useless.<br><br>Sure the movie has a lot of deep meanings around family relationship, and the talent of kindness and the importance of doing your best with what you have to spread love and keep people together… But I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Mirabel is an artist.<br>In the first song there is a disproportion of shots on the details of her clothes.<br>Animators are first of all artists. Creative people are often seen by society and their family as useless and not enough. I bet most of them have been told at least once in their life something like “Why are you wasting your time drawing all day? Why can’t you be a doctor like your cousin? Why can’t you be a gardender like your uncle? Your sister at least is good at cooking and makes meals for the family, while you are doing nothing for us!”<br><br>Creative people are invisible until they become successfull with their career, but for many of them it never happens. For many artists the door never opens. It’s hard when you know who you are and what you are able to create, but no one else can see it, and it’s easy as time goes by and you keep been invisible to start thinking that they are right, that you indeed are useless and worthless.<br>I have a feeling this movie speaks to creatives more deeply than it does to anyone else.<br><br>A question I will never have an answer to is: does Mirabel really believe she doesn&apos;t have a talent, or does she avoid mentioning it because she knows it would be belittled? She even signed her skirt!

  &quot;I like how Luisa is... very girly&quot; THANK YOU for noticing this. I&apos;m so tired of people calling her masculine just because of her muscles!

  “A broken family is a family in which any member must break herself into pieces to fit in. A whole family is one in which each member can bring her full self to the table knowing that she will always be both held and free.” ― Glennon Doyle. <br><br>I always think of this quote whenever I watch this movie.

  Fun fact: Lin Manuel Miranda said he based Luisa’s song on his older sister, who also had a similar role in the family as the one to take responsibilities. So it’s kind of like a “sorry you had to go through that” apology song

  “Surface pressure” is the first song in a Disney movie ever that completely got me. Nailed it. Lin Manuel really understands the burdens and psyche of working / work-horse women in families such as these. Everything about this song is me.

  I really like when he says &quot;Her past doesn&apos;t justify her actions but it makes them understandable and <b>that</b> makes it easier to forgive&quot;

  The fact that Abuela actually says the words “I am so sorry” not once, but twice, meant SO much to me. I would often be told to apologize, but I rarely, if ever, received one.

  The implications of Isabella being able to create ANY KIND OF PLANT are incredible, especially in a completely agrarian society. She could feed everybody in that village forever. She could provide every type of wood or medicinal plant they need at the drop of a hat. She&apos;s basically a goddess with that kind of power. And just because she was pushed into that role of &apos;beautiful princess&apos;, she wasn&apos;t able to do something that would have helped everybody SO MUCH MORE than just her making beautiful flowers.
