History FridgeHorror / Encanto

** Don't be so sure that exile (at least from Casita, though not from the Encanto) wouldn't have been an option. Agustin presumably has relatives in the village, and given the strength of her influence over the other Madrigals and years to manipulate their feelings, Alma could quite easily have sold many of them on the idea that Mirabel would be ''happier'' growing up with her equally-ungifted paternal kin, instead.

* The day after Antonio's gift ceremony, Alma factually states that she'll find a way to put Antonio's gift to helping the villagers right away. Why is this concerning? Because it means that every one of her children and grandchildren have been working since, they were five. It's no wonder some of the members have anxiety and stress issues.

** That jaguar which turns up for Antonio when he receives his gift? It presumably lives in the near vicinity, meaning Dolores has overheard every kill it's ever made when she wasn't sealed up in her room. And the sounds of it tearing up the carcass, afterward. And the first time she actually sees it, her baby brother is ''riding the thing''.

* Alma openly favors to Isabela, is open in her cold/harsh behavior to Mirabel, and, of her family, Isabela is the [[JerkassToOne most antagonistic to Mirabel]] than other members of her family. Isabela later admits to resenting being stuck in her "perfect" role, not being to fully express herself. It's very likely Isabela picked up being overly cold/harsh to Mirabel from their grandmother.

* Since Mirabel didn't get a Gift, she also didn't get a magical bedroom -- and apparently nobody thought to give or build her a normal one, even after Antonio was born. Her family is literally treating her like an infant by making her sleep in the nursery. At fifteen, she's already gone through puberty (and ''should'' have celebrated her ''quinceañera'' passage to young adulthood, but apparently hasn't) while being expected to share a bedroom with a toddler. How long, exactly, was this supposed to go on? Until she's eighteen, twenty-one, twenty-five -- or even older?
** They might've just built a bedroom for her when they rebuilt the house. Or maybe she's so used to it [[FriendToAllChildren she took to looking after any potential new kids?]]
** Neither Pepa nor Julieta moved out of Casita after they got married -- would Mirabel be the only Madrigal not living in the family home after marriage? (Presumably, any future spouse would balk at the current sleeping arrangement.) That's if she gets married at all, since marriages in the town are at least agreed to, if not outright arranged, between families. If Alma didn't bother to influence Mirabel's matrimonial prospects, she might never be able to get married. She's certainly too attached to her family to strike out on her own in some way. And then what, is she supposed to sleep in the nursery with every subsequent generation of children until she dies?!

* For roughly a whole day, the Madrigals were left wondering not only where Mirabel was but if she sustained some injury during Casita collpasing. They may have been left worrying in horror if a possibly injured Mirabel had died from said injuries.

* Juancho (the kid who drinks coffee) is a caffeine addict and this is very alarming considering that he is just a child. Although his addiction to coffee is PlayedForLaughs, in RealLife the caffeinomania is as serious as addiction to any drug because excess caffeine can cause nervousness, stomach upset, headaches, difficulty concentrating and sleeping, frequent faster heart rate, higher blood pressure and nervous disorders. On the other hand, stopping consuming it abruptly also triggers withdrawal symptoms. ''[[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Imagine all this]] [[DeathOfAChild in a child.]]''
