I would say that Bruno not living in the walls of the house anymore is a pretty substantial change.

The ending implies the entire family is feeling more comfortable with themselves and their powers (or lackthereof). The crumbling was not caused by a \"big argument\", it was caused by Abuela\'s lack of understanding and empathy, putting literal cracks and strains into the family until the house literally broke.
It won\'t happen again unless Abuela, for some reason, does a 180

Encanto: A Movie Where Nothing Happens
I went into Encanto with very high hopes, and for the most part the film lived up to them. But after finishing watching it, I couldn't but shake the feeling that almost nothing in those last 2 hours really changed. The conflict of the film is that toxic familial relationships is literally destroying their home, the Encanto and the trick is to mend these rifts. There's no external threat or anything, just a bunch of people who refuse to talk to each other. I feel as though the film suffered a bit from having No Antagonist as there was never any real tension, especially since at the end the house was not only restored but everyone got their powers back. What's to stop all this from happening again if there's a big argument in the Encanto one day in the future? That's when dawned it on me that within the entire film, only about 15 minutes constitutes any kind of story.
Pros: Great Animation Great Music, especially WDTAB Voice cast gave it their A-game
Cons: Weak plot Very low stakes Bland environments (Most of the movie takes place within the house, which gets old) Another generational trauma movie for the pile
I gotta give it a 6/10
