Added DiffLines:

* The scene where Mirabel mistakes a disguised Camilo for Dolores initially looks like a minor gag, as well as an EstablishingCharacterMoment that shows Camilo is a bit of a rascal. But on a second viewing, it's also this trope: if Camilo is well known for sneaking extra food, then it's more plausible that ''Bruno's'' covert raids on Julieta's kitchen have gone unnoticed for all these years.

Added DiffLines:

* The color green is, of course, strongly associated with Bruno and his ability to see events to come. It's also the color which Casita's nursery walls are painted. What's a nursery for? Small children, i.e. the family's ''future''.

Added DiffLines:

* Although mostly a Moment of Funny, Bruno's response to the stubborn capybara that won't get out of the way of his sand-circle line in Antonio's tree house is entirely appropriate. ''Of course'' he simply makes space in the sand-line for the animal: he's been making allowances for his rat friends' sharing his crawlspaces for years, so it's natural for him to uncomplainingly accommodate another sort of rodent.

* The song title "All of You" is doubly appropriate-- it not only means "every ''part'' of you," but also "every ''one'' of you". Not only is Alma realizing everything besides a gift inside a person is what makes them important, but everyone -- family and townsfolk included -- coming together to help one another is what makes the magic work.
* At one point during the story, Alma worriedly declares that the Madrigals must "protect [their] home". On the surface, it seems straight-forward enough. However, at the same time, it reflects Alma's mindset: she has the wrong idea about how to go about protecting their "home". As they say, [[AccidentalAesop home is not a place, but a people]]. If that's so, then Alma was half-right: they have to protect their home-- not their house, but their bond as a family.

* Similarly, despite being made different studios, ''Encanto'' could be seen as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'', both being fantastical films centering on a minor protagonist from a large Hispanic MultiGenerationalHousehold, said protagonist having to struggle with not fitting the confirmities set by their families' respective matriarchs, both using music as a major component of the story, as well as featuring GenerationalTrauma as a major theme, but with many differences that set both films apart, and even contrast with each other:
