Film Theory: Dolores BROKE The Magic! (Disney Encanto)
Get yourself The Quest Jacket and SOLVE our mystery! ► theorywear.com/
Theorists, by now we know who the "secret villain" of Encanto is, right? It's Abuela. Well, what if we are all WRONG? I think someone else in the Madrigal may have been pulling the strings. Someone who always knew what was going on... whether they liked it or not. Someone whose gift may have felt more like a curse. No, I'm not talking about Bruno....

Fun fact: The name “Dolores” literally translates to “sorrows” or “pain” in Spanish.
True I speak Spanish and when I heard hear the name I just thought of pains cause for me it means Dolores in Spanish is pains
Yea but that’s just a common Hispanic name idk if you’ve ever heard anyone named that ☠️
Even though I'm hispanic, I never noticed that lol Then again my spanish is still a work in progress
As a latina, Dolores is a common name, it's common naming your children as a feeling (Esperanza, Soledad, Dolores, etc which mean Hope, Loneliness and Pain) It's associated with what the mother feels during her pregnancy, not about the kid in it of itself. But yeah, they did in on porpouse.
Pain plural
Also, the entire town likely knows about her "gift", so having them set off fireworks and clapping loudly is insult to injury.
I didn't even think about that, that's horrible
Yo wait that's true and that's so messed up😭
ok
@slida emif true tho 😂
The town seemed to be filled with some pretty selfish people until the very end when they help rebuild. Louisa’s song about pressure, their desperate questions about the magic made me think they didn’t serve very much and just let the madrigals do everything for them.
“The only one worried about the miracle is you. And the rats talking in the walls” I 100% believe she meant she stayed up all night listening to Bruno and his novelas
yas
A KZheadr called nicque marina made a series of videos where Dolores is listening to Bruno's rat novellas. It's hilarious.
I'm scarred Dolores is the villian Dolores my fav Character? :( I'm so sad rn BUT AGAIN ITS A THEORY
@@1zzy_g4mer Stop taking Matpat seriously when he is trying too hard on some of these
@@OhNoTheFace This is my first time watching his videos. Wow, no one will ever let Encanto be filled with unsolved secrets. WAIT THATS WHY ITS FAMOUS! Its getting attention because everyone wants to find out! People are curious. They have icons and everything! No wonder its stilling lasting for about 3 months!
The creators have said that Bruno's room changed as his relationship with the family changed. As they grew further apart emotionally, they grew further apart physically
I think Dolores blurted out that Mirabel had found Bruno's vision not because she wanted to sabotage Isabela and Mariano's relationship but because she simply cracked under the pressure of the chaos that was going on.
But she kept bruno living in their WALLS a secret for so long??
@@loadingresourcesdotdot because she can't talk about bruno :) remember "we don't talk about bruno" was taken seriously :P that's why mirabel didn't remember much about him that's why camillo thought he was 7 feet tall.
Just realized another thing, when mirabel is singing the song about how she wishes she had a gift, she labels being jealous of everyone EXCEPT dolores
And Camilo and Antonio
Because unlike the rest of the family, who has been brainwashed about gift=awesome, she has the ability to see through the veneer of glorification and truly decipher the various layers, pros and cons of each power. The reason she's not jealous of Camillo's power is, because she wants to be seen for *herself*, not her impersonations of other people. And she loves and cares far too much about Antonino -who also appears to be her best friend- to develop envy towards him.
Maybe she does this because she is worried Dolores will hear her
Camilo too. And Antonio
Also when she says she would heal what's broken she looks and points at Dolores.
Another reason she would want free from the curse: She lives in a house with 2 married couples who are still very close, if she could hear an eye twiching, 100% she could here some other noises coming from some other rooms.
I laughed when i read this-
oop
Everyone talks about the horror of Delores hearing people have s*x but no one mentions the bigger horror that she also hears people going to the bathroom!
Imagine her if she went to school!! Banging lockers, kids screaming, FIRE ALARMS!! The list of pure insanity could go on!!
@@foxad4320 lol
I feel bad for Dolores She could hear her anyone in town say anything about her. Like, imagine someone in town is making fun of her or smth and she just hears it 😭 And she could hear her parents doing the “dirty”
fr tho with the dirty
And maybe the labor screams.
I’m sure the people in the town were aware of her gift and were therefore more careful with rumors lol
She could hear the whole town doing the dirty
“Oh heal me, make me live longer 💀💀💀”
I didn't think it was that sinister. I was thinking more in the lines of Dolores keeping to herself, trying not to become family's next scapegoat. Her powers, much like her uncles, give her (often unwanted) insight into whats going on around her and in other peoples lives. Dolores has more generous opinion of Brunos power than the rest of the family and recognises he's basically getting slandered. She uses her power for manipulation instead of openly working to fix things so she can avoid responsibility.
When the miracle got snuffed, she actually sang loudly, when she never spoke that loud until that point, and I really did feel bad for her when it came back. Sensory overload is the worst :
We can all feel bad she had a torturous power, but can we feel bad she didn’t tell anyone about Bruno? She “respected” his wish to be eating with rats?
@@PikachuComments bruh why are yall fighting tooth and nail to defend her over nothing
@@MimiUsagichan fr
@@MimiUsagichan Because from what I can see, the town would be just fine if they lost their power... including those with said powers. And if a power within a family has to constantly make a group within the family suffer? Maybe it is better to have no powers at all then.
Surrrre
“The only one worried about the magic is you… and the rats talking in the walls.” She 100% knew about Bruno.
She says she knew though, during All Of You, "yo I knew he never left i heard him everyday"
@Mbita Acoustic Guitar no
i think she only let bruno live in the walls without telling anyone so she could hear his telenovelas
@@Nic_431 another Nicque Marina fan, I see! Man of culture lol
@@andwhat3969 And during “We don’t talk about Bruno,” we can see him in her echolocation, and she says “I can hear him now.”
2:49 FUN FACT: Dolores didn't close her ears because of the fireworks, she close her ears because of Luisa's clap(the strong girl)
Ah! True!
Eh, could be both
@@FewVidsJustCommentsyeah probably
One common thing I noticed about the gifts: they are not exactly what they seem to be at the first glance. Peppa doesn't just control the weather, she actively generates it. Julieta doesn't heal but makes healing food(at least judging by the vials she recovers after Casita breaks down). We never see any dead plants around Isabela and they grow out of nowhere without seed, nutrients or water. Bruno can't actually tell the future but can capture the snippets out of it that are often out of context. Luisa isn't just super strong but also seemingly invincible. Antonio doesn't only speak with animals but also has their unconditional friendship. Camillo shapeshifting completely ignores his original shape and mass. Pretty sure Dolores has some part of her gift that keeps her from going batshit crazy.
Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing their own hardships
Maybe she can filter what noise she wants to listen to but I doubt it
I always felt like she was trying to get Mirabel to take action from her little rap in We Don't Talk About Bruno. The way it ends with her pointedly asking, "Do you understand?" just makes me feel like she was relaying important information, rather than gossip.
I thought that meant "He was blamed for everything, just like you are. And you can find him." Because just before that, it's "It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left Abuela and the family fumbling..." Which is sort of like how Mirabel is blamed for not seeming to have a gift at all.
I had this same vibe. Furthermore, she kept looking back toward where Bruno was in the background too.
@@tsharabrown3719 Funny how Mat left out her entire part in that song while he was making this garbage theory lol
I think she's always hoping people will pick up on little cues like she does. "I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling" is present tense. She explicitly told Mirabel that Bruno is here, currently, in the present, and Mirabel just didn't pick up on it because she was inundated with so much information at once. She's looking directly at Mariano over the wall in her second verse, making it clear that *he* is the man of her dreams, but no one notices. Even while she's singing, "and I'm fine, and I'm fine, and I'm fine, I'm fine," so is Isabela at the same time. Dolores KNOWS that Isabela doesn't want to marry Mariano, but no one listens to either woman about what they want. She's also the only one besides Isa who doesn't outright badmouth Bruno. "It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left Abuela and the family fumbling, grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand." She sympathizes with Bruno. Perhaps she didn't expose him because she wanted him to be able to live in peace. And she definitely told Camilo at least a few things about Bruno. He's the only one who associates Bruno with rats, but Bruno would only have been hanging out with rats after he started living in the walls. The only way Camilo would know that detail about him is if he heard it from Dolores. But Dolores speaks very softly and very quickly, so it might be hard for people to catch everything she says. The moment at the proposal just seemed like a moment of crisis. A secret that was too big for her, and when she whispered to her brother, unable to hold it in, chaos ensued. Everyone talking at once, Luisa crying, rats everywhere, and every little noise is multiplied by a thousand for Dolores and she just loses it. It looked like ADHD sensory overload. It was just too much for her. In short, I don't think she's actually withholding any information, I think people just aren't listening.

The "evil side eye" thing, is just her being done with Isabella, and her telling Isabella that he wants 5 babies, she did made it up, to scare Isabella Was confirmed btw lol
*MatPat IS GARBAGE!!!* *Here's the proof* kzhead.info/sun/lqWKqLSLrn9qm2g/bejne.html
kzhead.info/sun/lqWKqLSLrn9qm2g/bejne.html
really?
wow i didn't know that lol
I'd definitely need a source for that last part
I also realized that when there all clapping she gets even more scared of louisa so she recoils and leans away while covering her ears because being stronger louisas clapping is louder
I can confirm about the hearing part I have increased hearing when it comes to sounds like bells and sirens and feedback, and I instantly recoil 24/7
during “we don’t talk about bruno” BOTH isa and dolores sing “and i’m fine. and i’m fine and i’m fine. I’m fine” showing how they both don’t want Mariano to propose to isabela. they both want what the other has. dolores wants the man isa wants the freedom. they are both jealous of each other
kzhead.info/sun/oNKqZrBoqHyGmIk/bejne.html
M
isabella is more honest in hers. she says "im fine" 3 times, but then "Ill be fine". I think she's holding on to the idea bruno gave her that EVENTUALLY everything will be fine in the future when 'the life of her dreams' will be hers. while dolores is trying to assure herself that she's fine with everything even though she isnt.
@@Gatekid3 I LOVE THIS. I never thought about why Isabella changes to "I'll be fine" even though I main her parts when I sing with my sisters.
Y e s
Fun Fact: When Delores is singing "And I'm fine, and I'm fine, and I'm fine, I'm fine" Isabela is singing the same lyrics at the exact same time, only she's singing louder than Dolores, probably symbolising how she's being overlooked in favour of her cousin.
I heard Isabella’s line too and initially I thought that he was mistaken and thought it was Dolores’s line. But if she is really singing and Isabella’s just singing over her, that makes a a lot of sense
I thought it was only Isabela too, but realized both were singing because I could see their lips moving the same way
I think isabela sing high note and dolores sing it in lower note
What part is that one? I watch this movie very day and I need to know lol
@@dracovbeauty I just had to go back and check too! It's when they are circling the table at the end of the song, when Isabela and then Dolores pass right in front of the camera.
I love Camilo’s look to doloris after she tells him she heard him every day, he looks like he was saying “OMG, then why didn’t you tell us sis?”
The real villain is the Grandma because she never let go of her sadness and trauma and then passed it on to her children. It’s a story of the cycle of trauma and how if we dont fix our trauma is breeds and fester in our children and grandchildren
I just want to point out that Dolores not saying that Bruno is living in the walls could also be out of love and respect for her uncle. Bruno doesn’t want to be found and if he did it would be a lot worse for him.
Maybe she even kinda understood his struggle with his powers and respected the fact that he chose to basically give them up
*MatPat IS GARBAGE!* *Here's the proof* kzhead.info/sun/lqWKqLSLrn9qm2g/bejne.html
Yeah, her verse was the most understanding in we don’t talk about Bruno, she understands that they’re predictions that he can’t control. E.g: “It’s a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left abuela and the family fumbling, grappling prophecies they couldn’t understand, do you understand?
Or she is scared of him. What with the "grew to live in fear" part of her verse. Unlikely, but possible
@@midnightnavigator The full sentence is "grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering and stumbling". She wasn't scared of him, she grew to fear his movements in the walls
“Everyone is talking about how Encanto has no villain” But what about those guys who know very well that Mirabelle has no gift and still throw her an accordion to continue the song after she tries to finish it in Family Madrigal
And that guy that kept on saying "HEY MIRABEL! HERE'S A NOT SPECIAL SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL!" Alot of the townspeople are just egging her on.

Mirabel*
Dolores is that one quiet kid in class who knows everyone's secrets 💀
5:41 Camilo too. Shapeshifting can be quite disturbing, if you forget what you were supposed to look like.
Fun Fact: there was a cut piece of the movie where once the house collapses, everyone looses their powers. But the one it affect most was Camilo. It was planned for him to have a full emotional breakdown and existential crisis because he has been pretending to be other people his whole life to make them happy and help them. Now that that is gone, he literally has no idea who he is anymore. You can hear a little bit of him panicking in the background during the collapse scene. It was cut because the whole sequence took 5 minutes in total and they felt it took too much time away from Mirabel's tragic and sad moment. Though you can still hear him panicking off screen during the scene so it shows they really wanted to develop Camilo's character.
i wish they left that in the movie camilo got the short end of the stick (for screen time)
@@Cresentravenclaw Didn't everyone get characyer development except Camilo?
@@betajediwizard5680 well not everyone get character development (its a 2 hour movie) but the adult's, abuella,isabella,antonio,and dolores get their time to move the plot forward but camilo is just there.... a comedic relief
@@Cresentravenclaw Dose Felix get any character development?
@@Cresentravenclaw No I know that. Its just a shame Camilo didnt get one.
I heard that Delores was probably told over and over again that she isnt hearing Bruno she is hearing rats talking in the wall.
Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing their own hardships
I just thought of something... What if Deloris didn't tell about Bruno to protect the village? Hear me out, Deloris was probably a child when Bruno so she didn't really know him nun of the kids really didn't know him but she heard what he was like when the adults and towns people told her. There are also many times in the movie were she trys to point to Mirabelle that he's still here. Like in the we don't talk about Bruno song she says to Mirabella that she can always hear him muttering and mubbling. She also says that she can hear someone talking in the walls.
DOLORES
Fun Fact: Isabela also sings “I’m fine” over and over again, in sync with Dolores. Both lines relate to their relationships with Mariano, Dolores is upset that she’ll never be with Mariano, but she has to hide her feelings and act like she’s fine, and Isabela is upset that she is being forced to be with Mariano, but she ALSO has to hide her feelings and act like she’s fine.
its actully Dolores
@@cheesecxke1722 Thank you for the correction! Fixing it right now 🥰
@@ibee623_ np!
@@cheesecxke1722 in the movies Isabella was lip sing “I’m fine” and also dolores too because she is going to be in a relationship she doesn’t want
@@ivandeolarte4079 i corrected them
It’s possible that Dolores tried to say something about Bruno being in the walls, only to get “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”’d every time, so she gave up.
She has super hearing though,someone would atleast hear her out.
She does literally sing "I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling" during the song". The use of "can" here is really important because it implies present tense. The line directly preceding it - Grew to live in fear of his stuttering and stumbling - and a couple lines after - Always left Abuela and the family fumbling grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand - it's back to past tense. It's definitely a very intentional choice of words
I heard/read a theory that the family convinced her she was hearing rats in the walls instead. When she tells Mirabel about Louisa she also slips it that the rats in the walls are talking about it too.
I use to think Dolores was quiet because the sound of her own voice was too loud for her, but a therapist on tiktok did a quick read/take on the family and theorized that Dolores was actually quiet because growing up with her powers would lead her to unintentionally reveal things others didn't want so there was a good chance she was constantly told to shut up or be quiet about things.
during that very song she tries to tell people that she can here him and is talked over by Isabella telling Mirabella to be quiet during the dinner. She tries to tell people, but they just don't listen to her.
I have noise sensitivity and the way she acts is extremely accurate. The way she flinches, the way she squeaks instead of putting emotion in her voice in order to convey meaning. And even the way she smiles like she’s having fun but is actually in pain.
SOMEONE GIVE MY BABY DOLORES NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES PLZ
Fun fact: according to the creators, the stairs in Bruno’s room changed the more Bruno had himself distanced from the town.
My apologies.
I feel sad for Bruno,he is a whole outcast and just no one understands him.
@@user-lk2ex7ng8r ‘ight, Imma report this.
@@kkcake5771 its sad because they made him the way he is by begging him to use his gift and then getting mad at hearing about the futures they asked to see and blaming him for it instead of blaming themselves for their lack of self control in asking. bruno was alienated by doing what people asked him to do and then getting villainized for it. even if he may have occasionally just tried to warn people about worrisome futures out of concern for the individual, they decided to take it as just him being a bearer of bad news, since people dont need to be "warned" that something good is going to happen; making every out of the blue encounter with him probably a negative one.
@@shoyrushoyru they could have also done something about their futures that Bruno told them like the woman who Bruno said her fish would die she should’ve taken better care of it and also the rain on the wedding day she controls the weather with her emotions of course if your nervous it’s going to rain if that’s a power you have
Dolores was often overlooked by her family, given she was the literal "listener" of the family, and she mentions in the songs that she hears things, but nobody reacts to it. It's quiet possible she tried to bring Bruno up only to be ignored or hushed by Abuela or Pepa becuase well, we don't talk about Bruno. I'd give up trying to tell someone info if they kept ignoring or blowing me off too.
Yeah! I also thought about this too
Good point
I absolutely think that happened. Dolores was still a young child and probably went "I can still hear tio Bruno" and they just shushed her. We don't talk about Bruno
Blowing me off too 😏
@@Blackinfemwa You need help.
I just realised that Dolores saying “It’s like I hear him now” hints Mirable to go and find Bruno and the line “And I’m fine” means she is fine about it and repeating it hints she is more than fine about it.😧
Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing hardships
In the last part of the movie, in the rebuild door we can also see Isabella is not smiling just like Dolores. Can you make a video about Isabella's emotions in the last few minutes of the movie and explain why is she frowning? If you can't it's alright. Don't stress about it, it is also okay if you aren't able to. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
no, if you look closely, she is smiling. It's just her eyebrows are downturned. Dolores is actively frowning, while Isabella is smiling, seeming out of relief.
I know like Dolores‘s whole family are not smiling,Antonio’s dad is not happy, probably Because he got know gift

For anyone wondering about the "And I'm fine": Dolores and Isabella both sing the "And I'm fine"s at the same time, but Isabella's voice dominates and Dolores's is lower and quieter. So they both are not fine (although it's obvious why for Isabella)

Can we mention that Isabella's second verse during we don't talk about Bruno she says, And I'm fine And I'm fine And I'm fine I'll be fine This are three things to consider now Isabella knows about Dolores' plot and is fighting over Mariono Isabella is grieving over her power not coming yet Or Isabella and I'm fine is a signal for the next scene where she doesn't like Mariono Please consider this for a next food theory
Delores got that gift bc she was so observant from being quiet, and knew about/liked gossip.
To be honest, one of the lyrics in "We don't talk about Bruno", Dolores sections reads "It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling" It shows that perhaps the reason why she covered up Bruno's persisting in the walls is because she was sympathetic due to her uncle's gift causing problems
That's what I thought! Also, it's crazy to think "oh she side eyed her cousin so she must be willing to take away everything the family loves!" Nah. Dont think she's like that and "we dont talk about Bruno" backs it up
*MatPat IS GARBAGE!!!* *Here's the proof* kzhead.info/sun/lqWKqLSLrn9qm2g/bejne.html
During "We Don't Talk About Bruno" during the lyric where Isabella tells Mirabella "not one word out of you", Delores literally says "I can here him now". So it's not that she doesn't try to tell people it's that they don't listen to her unless she's telling them some gossip.
@@hahalove47 lmao you're of one of those people who are annoyingly stubborn and literally ignore everything that the person has said to prove their point, why didn't she tell everyone about the cracks? Why did she expose mirabels prophecy? Lmao please just say that you're a simp and move on. The evidence that she's pretty evil is right in front of you yet your refuse to acknowledge it just because you like the character. Plus who wouldn't try to sabotage stuff if they were paranoid from all the hearing and their "perfect" sister was marrying their crush. So yeah just stop lmao.
yeah but at the same time, I feel like Dolores was jealous of Mirabel and that led to her not being very fond of her. So I think that is why she couldn't keep the secret about Mirabel destroying the gift... like think about it, she probably knows most of the secrets of the whole town right? Why was she able to keep them a secret though? She purposelly revealed Mirabel's secret while also destroying the man's (I don't remember his name) proposal to Isabella. It makes sense doesn't it? I don't know if she is "evil" but I do think that she's someone with a lot of psychological trauma who definitely needs a therapist lol.
fun fact: its confirmed that both isabella AND dolores sing the "im fine" lines, further showing isabella's discontent with the situation as well because she didnt wanna marry mariano
wheres your proof that dolores sang that part too cause i dont hear her sing that part
@@MitsuiLuna you can literally hear it if you pay attention and its in the official lyric video
I think Isabella sings "I'll be fine" but yeah it's more or less the same
@@snikli Only the last verse is different between Dolores and Isabela They both sing ,,and I'm fine" But in the last verse Dolores says ,,and I'm fine" but Isabela says ,,I'll be fine"
This wouldn’t make sense for her to sing I’m fine I’m fine since her line about the love of her life being betrothed to another was added after the song was finished.
something he didn’t talk about either is how on everyone’s doors (except dolores and bruno) they are happy and smiling, while dolores and bruno are distressed and upset, showing how their “gifts” are more distressing and difficult to live with.
Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing their own hardships
10:04. Isabela does that as well.
Dolores would have been a great villain: -Solid motivation -Good reveal - a great mirror to the protagonist: the one who wants to have a miracle vs the one who doesn't want to have a miracle - Could literally blackmail anyone on the village to do her biding
Oh man, I don't think it would've worked in this movie but that idea is SO COOL
But this movie doesn't NEED a villain, which is one of the things that makes it so great I don't get why people are so obsessed with finding the secret villain of Encanto, or trying to force a villain into a sequel or spinoff
@@demonicthan742 Because it's Pavlovian. Disney's been pretty bad about just throwing twist villains for the sake of it in the past, and now we're just conditioned to think it's gonna be the case again.
@@demonicthan742 oh i agree with You that the movie doesn't need a villain i just found it curious that it could've worked so well
@@demonicthan742 that, tho im wondering, will there be any sequel?? hopefully not, seeing that usually when a movie is highly praised, when they make part 2 of it or a sequel, it went downhill (not all, m=but many of em)
Dolores could literally dismantle everyone's relationships in the town singlehandedly
You're right, she probably knows every secret in the entire town, and even if someone didn't have anything to hide, she could just make something up and people would believe her because of her power
kzhead.info/sun/e5emnrmcgmaFfYk/bejne.html vsdvsd
She could literally get her hands on Mariano & by telling him about anything she heard that could disrupt & prevent Isabella & His marriage. Seriously even if those powers are a curse if you intent is to break a relationship & swoop in & replace one of the people in that relationship super-sensitive hearing IS the perfect power cause it lets you gossip the relationship into the ruins.
hey, heard some freaky noises coming from your room while you where at work, just saying.
“remember kids! don’t gossip or dolores will hear you!”
The music from the sisters is touching, feel like it shows the unintentional damage we can cause to our loved ones when we put to many expectations on the people we love
Did you notice when Dolores covers her ears when she yells out the secret about Bruno, and because of that it’s another way not hurting her ears.
Them appearing on the front door was meant to resemble that they are now a happy, united family; as opposed to before when they had their pictures on separate doors, were a toxic family, and were each facing their own hardships
I like to think that Dolores’ room is completely soundproof. So it would be easier for her to sleep at night. It would be a nice theory but she stated that, “I heard Luisa’s eye twitch all night.” This means it’s most likely not soundproof. But the question remains, what kind of gimmick would Dolores’ room have?
In a tweet by Encanto's director, can't remember his name off the top of my head, he stated that Dolores' room, "Def has some soundproofing in there!" So, it could be that she can't hear the townsfolk at night, but she could still hear *some* of her family members. Note how she doesn't hear Alma talking about how she's worried about the Miracle at night after Antonio's ceremony, but she is able to hear Luisa's eye twitching.... or she could have just been asleep when Alma was talking. I was looking for a comment that talked about her room!
asmr
You could make the argument that she happened to leave her room for a bit that night or that before everyone went to sleep she heard it but its kind of hard too with the all night part of it
Or it is soundproofed and she lied 🤔
They say it would be like an orchestra room where she can adjust what to hear based on where she is in her room... btw my favorite theory on one of the rooms is Camilo's room to be filled with mirrors

It’s certainly notable that Dolores seems to be in the know about why Bruno left the Family, where he’s been hiding ever since, and that Casita is gradually cracking more and more. And yet she says nothing to anyone and takes zero actions to change the situation. She doesn’t even tell Mirabel to check behind the walls for Bruno-that’s something that Mirabel figured out herself via the Rats. Regardless of what you think about her motives, it’s canonical that Dolores knew that the Miracle was dying and yet did nothing about it, even when Mirabel and Bruno were actively mounting an effort to fix things. Why? Likely because Dolores didn’t think much of her own gift, which, from what we saw in the movie, brought her a lot of suffering. She had to listen to the man of her dreams wax poetic about her own cousin every night. And she had to listen to Bruno slowly go kooky inside of the walls for years too.
The original door Dolores had was frowning. This represents her pain that no one notices
Can we be clear, Pepa cannot "control" the weather. Her mood affects the weather. A point that gets mixed a lot in the movie
I thought she learned how to control the weather at the end of the movie because of her dancing while it's snowing. or maybe it was to show she is happy to not have to suppress all her emotions/moods anymore. I haven't watched the movie to many times so idk
My sister got this misconception.
she learns how to control her powers at the end of the movie
I agree with Jessica I would get mad a lot at Camilo if we was bad so yeah it would be my mood
Technically if she learns how to control her emotions she can control the weather. Abuela even instructed her once to make it clear or rain and she did.
When Dolores says that “the only one worried about the magic is you,” could mean that she knows, she’s just happy that it’s dying.
This made me realize she says this after we see Abuela freaking out about the magic and Mirabel decides to save the magic the night before...
Is it because she does not like her gift
@@lesleyofosu9837 yes
That’s dark
She said the only one thats worried about the the magic is you and Mumbles the rats in the walls
3:03 bombastic side eye😂
I hoped you'd comment on this scene in 8:58 too since you showed it twice in the video. She's lining up almost perfectly with the grandma's figure on the door, covering it, and having hands closed where the candle should be.
Dolores even says it herself: “It’s a heavy lift with a gift so humbling.” Except, was she talking about Bruno’s gift or her own?
Dolores, not Delores
Thats a fair point. I actually also thought she was talking about herself for the first few times I replayed the song, until I read captions.
OMY GOSH.
In the rest of the lyric, she says "...always left abuela and the family fumbling / grappling with prophecies you couldn't understand". So she's probably talking about Bruno.
Double meaning...???
I'm surprised that you haven't mentioned that Dolores also straight up lies when she tells Mirabel that nobody but her is worried about the magic, when a few moments earlier, Abuela is standing at her open window talking about being worried about the magic disappearing. You mean to tell me Dolores heard Luisa's eye twitching, but not Abuela saying "dang this thing worries me" out in the open?
It is confirmed that her room has soundproofing so maybe she couldn’t hear it

In the scene in We Dont talk about Bruno when they are setting up the table you can see Dolores actually side eyeing her family and then knocking on the wall where Bruno lives when she turns around in the dance. Dolores' room is also right next to Bruno's secret entrance in the painting. Finally, and this might be a stretch, Dolores only has good hearing unlike her brother who can talk to animals. So when she's saying she can "hear the rats talking in the walls" shes not actually referring to the rats talking, but to Bruno her uncle talking to the rats in the walls (and by compassion calling her Tio a rat lmao) Edit: Also if you noticed in We dont Talk About Bruno, Bruno only shows up in the BG when its Dorores' verse to sing. Not anyone else's. He's on the 2nd floor bopping away to his diss soundtrack
I wouldn't say she was calling Bruno a rat, think she meant that the rats were talking (squeaking) in the walls. And since she hears Bruno talking to them, that's probably why she says the rats are talking (instead of squeaking).
I NEVER NOTICED HER HITTING THE WALL DURING THE DANCE OMG.
That actually might not be a stretch. I didn’t think about that. That she don’t understand what the rats are saying🤔👏
Nah I think she just means she hears the rats squeaking. Plus yeah she knew Bruno was there, she announces that multiple time, but she'd know he's hiding and it seems like she just let him vibe. I took her knocking in secret like that as her telling him "It's time for dinner, join us" since she would've heard him eating near the family.

@@yourmothergaming384 nice response dud a mad lad
i think mat forgot a important argument: when casita reapeared, it did so hapier than ever. not a single frame of the ending shows the building cracking. That's because dolores never acted out against her family. she acted out against the miracle. Casita broke because the madrigal's started some mad beef with eachother, but everything dolores did was so she and her mother and uncle could be freed from an overbaring gift. Why bother to reveal bruno's whereabouts when abuela would just shun him back to exile? why bother to tolerate isabela's bathrovement when she knew it was all a ruse to keep abuela happy? and most important of all: why would she keep her mouth shut about bruno's profecy when she knew the """miracle"""" would likely die if she revealed it in the most hurtfull way possible?
Good point
How long did it take to write this down lmao but this is very true
That is a good thought and one I hadn't even remotely considered! I'm wondering if there is an Encanto 2 if there will be new cracks in the house and that Mirabel will be on family repairing duty again. After all, I noticed in the recent movie that the only characters with issues they dove into was Bruno, Mirabel, Abulea, Luisa, and Isabella. They only briefly touched on Peppa and no one else got a good talk about their feelings in detail (Julieta got NO comment on her feelings).
i agree!!
“Remember, it’s just a theory, a film theory” -MatPat

This video has inspired Lydia the Bard to make a Villain song for Dolores, and it’s completely original!
It also makes sense from her name. In Spanish, the word for pain is “dolor,” and “Dolores” means many pains. Maybe the writers wanted to emphasize Dolores’ pain from her miracle.

wow, this explains so much, thanks! IMA TELL ALL OF MY FRIENDS! btw imagine Dolores being able to hear the other side of the planet, hearing all the noises the planets make, I would hate that lol
Just realised. When she sings the phrase "Betrothed to another", that's the first time we hear her talk or sing louder than a whisper. For her, that's her screaming from the rooftops
Yeah I noticed that too and how beautiful your voice really is
@@Erix963 youtube aint the place for flirting
Then what about this part? 9:23 she screamed louder than the song
Actually, when the cracks first appeared Luisa said she felt weak, so Dolores may actually never had heard the cracks since her gift fails for duration of it
That's exactly what I was thinking!
this theory have cracks
That's what I also thought at first, but we later found out that Louia was the only one who experienced a flickering with her ability.
This is true, however in that moment during Antonio's party everyone's door was flickering, not just Luisa's. True, hers continues to faulted after that unlike the rest, but they were all failing in that one moment.
Yes
Did you saw in song We dont talk about Bruno at the end of Doloris phase bruno vibing in the background?
"She never revealed that information to anyone" (about her hearing Bruno) SIR. She actively tells Mirabelle in her first verse of We Don't Talk About Bruno, that "I could always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling" AND she states that she fed erepas through the wall. (sorry is I didn't spell that right)
I hope Dolores’s room is actually a sound proof room where she cannot hear anything when inside. But I also hope… when she was younger… she did not hear her parents, Julieta and Augustine and everyone else in town making babies…
super hearing gotta be the most traumatic power to give to a child
Didn't she say that she heard Luisas eye twitching all night? It's been a while since I've rewatched the movie
If she can hear and eye twitch, she can hear some horizontal mamba
Dolores room is sound proof
...if it was soundproof then.. HOW DID SHE HEAR LOUISA'S EYE TWITCHING
it's also worth noting that on all the magical doors, the family members eyes are closed except Dolores and Bruno
Probably because Dolores almost never closes her eyes
Oooo maybe it’s symbolic of how they’re the only ones who are aware of the family’s instability (there’s a bit of emphasis on the line “open your eyes” and before anyone says it mirabel doesn’t have a door)
*MatPat IS GARBAGE!!!* *Here's the proof* kzhead.info/sun/lqWKqLSLrn9qm2g/bejne.html
I think that's cause they have sense based miracles? like he uses his eyes to see his prophecies and she uses her ears to listen
And she seems upset on her door
Can we just take a sec to appreciate how the other's faces on screen are straight up hilarious except Dolores's at the evil eye photo MatPat keeps mentioning?
Anyone notice how their kids powers are somehow related? Pepa's gift is weather. The biggest factor of nature and it is emotion based. Dolores gift is superhearing which can take a horrid toll on her emotional wellbeing, Camilo can shape shift which can cause an identity crisis and affect his mental health. Antonio can communicate with the next big factor of nature which is wild life. He can FEEL and HEAR them. Julieta's powers are of service, they help people in need just like Luisa's and also isabela's. Her power probably allows her to grow crops too but abuela exploited them for beauty purposes only which made her pretty useless. Lastly Mirabel. Her gift is her ability to unit. She is a pillar
Is Delores actively tryina hurt the family, no Is she tired of being passed over, yes Remember, Delores has prolly been used by Abela her whole life to spy on ppl and meddle in their business so she prolly knows, very well, that Isabella doesnt like the dude but that Abela wants Isabella married because "shes the most perfect" So the way Mirabel feels about Isabella prolly goes double for Delores because their the same age

Same here, she actively sympathises with him in her verse, "it's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling, always left abuela and the family fumbling, grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand", she also has a humbling gift (the super hearing), and gets that Bruno couldn't fully say what any prophecy was, since they were so vague.

The Czech dabing did not disappoint! When I was listening to the Czech version of We don’t talk about Bruno, I heard Dolores's lines that she’s fine, translated to the Czech language😄
Theory: If you think about it, Dolores is actually seeking the best outcome for the family by getting rid of the powers, I say this because the powers make each family member feel superior/inferior to another thus making them be awful at communicating, which leads to Casita forming cracks and the magic being unstable. By getting rid of the magic it brings everyone to an equal level in all their eyes, this is shown when the only time we see everyone in the family happy (including Dolores) and communicating properly is while they were rebuilding Casita, before that Bruno was lonely living in the walls and not being able to help or be with the rest of the family because they viewed most of his visions as bad omens, another example is that as soon as Antonio got his power he wasn't the one who was getting his stuff from the nursery, it was his mother. But once everyone felt/was equal they all talked and interacted positively with each other, and I don't think one day of house rebuilding will change how they treat each other when they have powers, especially how they view themselves as better then the towns folk, having Casita reside outside outside of the main town area, only interacting for business and arranged marriages, with the exception of flaunting their magic for the town whenever someone comes of age or just in day to day life. Dolores has probably heard a LOT of things she wishes to forget, ranging from people dying painfully to stuff not appropriate for minors to hear. She can hear how broken everyone in the family is treated and knows what the townsfolk actually think of their family, but she didn't know that there was a way to get rid of the magic... until she heard the first crack when Mirabel doesn't get a gift, she is also probably jealous of Mirabel not having a gift based on the one she got. So in conclusion, not only is Dolores the true good guy, but getting rid of the magic was truly the best result and Dolores being sad on the door when the magic returns is because she knows things will return to the way they were before with its return. Sub Theory: Dolores still had incredible hearing even while the magic was gone because she was able to hear Mirabel talking to Mariano about her of over the sound of everyone else rebuilding Casita.

as for your sub theory, i thinking focusing on a specific sound is a skill anyone can learn. similar to how a musician can pick individual instruments out of a song. so while it is abit of movie magic, it's still believable.
Honestly, I can understand why she would want her gift gone, being the resident secret keeper for a house is hard enough, let alone a whole town

That was really well done. I feel you on the toddler favorite movie thing. I’ve watched frozen and frozen 2 with my daughter at least 30x by this point. But at least after watching this now I have a renewed interest to find cracks.
"Dolores is a good person!!" she literally heard Bruno suffering and living alove in the walls with rats for YEARS and told no one
Well that means abuela aint the only one who needs hands thrown, casita needs some as well, because casita knew Dolores didnt like her gift, even made her frown, and still gave it back 😒
@Joshkid 2000 I don't think the Casita is the one that controls the miracle, rather, the miracle controls the Casita. The Casita has been shown to care about the family, so it's very unlikely that it would do this on purpose.
@@yuzukistardust87075 i mean still magic or casita, mirabel wanted a gift and didnt get one, and Dolores was given a gift she dont like, I guess the magic can get hands thrown then, its cursen em not gifting 😭
I think the magic and Casita are like partners in crime and the reason miribel didn't get a gift because the magic was getting manipulated by Dolores but you know since the Casita only interacted with abuela and miribel so far that the Casita couldn't say anything
i get what you mean, but i don’t blame abuela at all she was a consequence of the huge trauma that happened to her, and she was big enough to let go of her illusion and start to make it right but yeah stuff the miracle Dolores deserved better 😩
Casita is giving sass
I always assumed that Delores didn’t tell anyone about Bruno living in the walls because the family actively doesn’t want to hear about him, so Delores decides to respect that by not mentioning him.
Also, would they even have believed her?
It's most likely whenever she said she heard Bruno people assumed she was talking about somewhere further away.
@@rebekahking6276 my guess? Absolutely. Girl can apparently hear whatever is audible, her mentioning Bruno's voice and movement through the walls? They'd be confused, but believe her.
I see you almost everywhere
I'm guessing they would still wanna hear about Bruno from Dolores. Maybe he is gonna do something bad again? I don't think they would just let Dolores shut up in a situation like this. And he is in the wall this time.
This video was a visual feast, with stunning visuals and captivating scenes.
the "And i'm fine" part was isabela singing
Actually, both of them are the ones singing that part. I replayed that song a few times, enough to catch up on the lyrics. The color-coded lyrics video makes them more obvious..
I always though Dolores didn't mention Bruno in the walls because at one point she probably did talk about but then her family gaslit her into believing it was just rats. She even says it to Mirabel "The only one worried about the magic is you, and the rats talking inside the walls" Dolores can't understand animals so she has to have been told by someone that when she heard Bruno it was actually rats
This is an underrated comment.
Yeah. Antonio probably told her.
Yeah, I couldn't quite connect the dots in this theory. Her being impulsive could be a reasonable excuse for blurting out during the family dinner. Her hearing is so good that she knows about every secret in the village, how then is she supposed to know who's in on the secret and who isn't? Not being able to keep a secret could be a subconscious way of destressing; instead of continuously deciding which secrets to keep and/or who to tell them to she is just telling everyone about everything. If that is the case, her family then going to her to 'spy' on others in the village - I mean, I don't think Mariano meant for Dolores to hear that he wants five babies - would not be a help.
@@stef5853 Well, she probably knows who is and isn't in on any given secret because... Y'know, she'd hear it if someone told that secret
Well i think they dont talk about bruno because mentioning him upsets the grandma. At first we think its because she hates him, but by the end of the movie we realize its probably because she misses him or resents him "leaving". So i assumed it was the same for delores. She was told not to talk about him, so they dont.
yeah pepa's side of the family really got the short stick. pepa has her emotions shown and has to be happy all the time, doloris hears every talk behind everyones back and camilo is "only needed" when he is not himself
Yeah, it sucks. Antonio isn’t really expected of much from Abuela like the others, and Felix can’t really do much like Agustin.
I've only seen the film twice but I knew there was something off about Delores, I just couldn't place it and/or hadn't seen enough reruns to ha e a chance to see it myself. Now I know why she's so intriguing and I have a reason to give people when they ask why she's my favourite character. Imagine the amount of thinking for herself she had to do with abuela running the show with all kinds of puppet strings sewn through the family, incredible
5:27 I admit it would be painful but according to the Encanto book, Dolores’ room is covered with soundproof walls which may be interesting for some LORE
Actually, the first time mirabel sees the cracks, Dolores can't hear it. The doors flashing means that their gift is temporarily faded, meaning that everybody temporarily lost their gift. After Luisa's song, "Surface Pressure", she says that when Mirabel saw the cracks, she felt weak. This also gives a sign that they temporarily lost their gifts. So with that cracks thing and Dolores not sticking up for her, it's logical that she wouldn't since she couldn't hear it
I like the fact that Luisa feels weak since her powers are always on/she can't control their intensity so when they temporarily faded she was the only one who felt the loss cause she felt weak. It only flickered for a few seconds. Isabella wouldn't feel it unless she was trying to make a plant when it was flickering. Camillo wouldn't feel it unless he was shape-shifting when it happened. Julieta wouldn't feel it unless her food didn't heal someone in front of her. Antonio wouldn't feel it unless he was mid conversation with an animal For Pepa we see when she's happy the cloud goes and of course she's happy at her sons ceremony so she wouldn't notice she can't make clouds now Dolores was still in a noisy environment and it was a few seconds. You don't notice what you don't hear. Especially in a few seconds whilst still being surrounded by a lot of noise with roaring animals and a ceremony. Luisa could feel it since her powers are always on so at that moment she felt weak cause her body couldn't support her muscled body since it lost its strength
Oh, that's a good point.
Imagine the relief she felt in that moment
One problems though - as far as we're aware, the whole "powers temporarily fade" thing is fairly new. Bruno had been patching cracks for years, so if the powers were temporarily lost EVERY time the cracks appeared, by the time the events of the movie occurred, it'd be seen as a normal glitch in the system that occasionally happened and no one would be freaking out about it. The panic that ensued means that the family DIDN'T always lose their powers temporarily whenever the walls began to crack. Just look at how Luisa reacted to feeling weak after she spoke with Mirabel, if that were the norm for her, she'd not react that way. Will also point out - we only ever saw evidence that Luisa was having issues with her powers prior to the dinner, and then afterwards we saw Camilo have trouble controlling his shapeshifting. But that was the extent of it. Especially prior to the dinner, we've got no evidence that Dolores, even during the events of the movie, was having any trouble. If she did, she casually ignored it and failed to mention it. So either she was in perfect position to hear the cracks at least at SOME point in her life, and just failed to mention them, or she WAS losing her gift for a short while on a fairly regular basis, and again failed to mention it - even when everyone was freaking out about the miracle dying. Either way, she is deliberately hiding important information about the magic dying.
Counter thought, she would've still known SOMETHING happened because she would've lost her ability to hear everything
Hey mat you missed an important detail: Dolores couldn’t hear the cracks the first night cause the cracks weaken your powers Luisa tells mirabel the next day “last night when you saw the cracks I felt weak” so that would apply to Dolores as well
"That's what I'm always saying bro." - Felix.

Dolores with a water pistol squirting the candle had me on the floor 😂
12:48 the face 😅
it makes sense on why dolores would be the villain, her gift isn’t a gift, it’s a curse to her. dolores can have super sensitive hearing, but that also means she could hear the cracks loud and clear. the reason she didn’t stick up for mirabel is so that she could just go back to hearing normal. and she even tries to spread about the rumors during their dinner which also means she tries to break casita. she knows what happens around her, she knows what is happening and tries to ignore it. the whole reason she isn’t trying to help out to fix casita and the miracle is because all she wants is to just hear like a normal girl again.
