Encanto Director Reveals New Detail About What Caused Madrigal Miracle
Encanto director Jared Bush is sharing more details about what really reignited the enchanted candle through which the Madrigal family derives their powers. The Disney animated feature continues to be a hit even months after it first hit theaters last November. Viral songs like «We Don't Talk About Bruno» and «Surface Pressure» have fueled the film's success, not to mention the colorful aesthetic that has inspired countless cosplays, fan art, and parodies.
Beyond the catchy tunes and memorable characters, Encanto has also spurred a passionate fanbase that continues to deliberate over details and theories. Among them is the exact reason why the miraculous candle regained its power following Mirabel and Isabela's embrace. The moment happens not long after Mirabel consults Bruno, who reveals a vision of her hugging Isabela in order to strengthen the candle's dying flame. During Isabela's musical number, «What Else Can I Do?», Mirabel learns to love her sister's imperfections, and the two embrace as the candle brightens behind them.
