Encanto: There Was A Disturbing Detail In Isabela’s Room All Along
Isabela Madrigal is undoubtedly the golden child in Disney's Encanto, but the film was hiding a disturbing detail in her room all along. At the beginning of Encanto, it seems like Isabela Madrigal (Diane Guerrero) has everything going for her. She can create flowers out of thin air, she's about to get married, and the townspeople all love her. Even the film's script is especially flattering to her, detailing how flowers bloom all around her like an«angel.» However, things aren't what they seem with Isabela. And it's not until Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz) sings with her in «What Else Can I Do?» that the audience learns Isabela is miserable trying to live up to her family's expectations.

She didn't get a special power or gift, so she tries especially hard to prove herself to her family and make her Abuela Alma (María Cecilia Botero) proud. Even powers don't make it easy, though. Luisa (Jessica Darrow) pushes above and beyond to use her strength to help with the family's burdens. But no matter how much Luisa helps, she'll never be strong enough to live up to the lofty expectations.
