'''''Encanto''''' is a 2021 Disney film,
A family in Columbia has magical gifts, that a miracle candle bestowed upon them after their patriarch pulled a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to rescue his wife and children from bandits. Their house represents the magic and their family bond. Each has a door that revealed their powers on a special birthday. Abuela Alma, a widow and new matriarch, has the family Madrigal use their gifts to benefit the village. She is dismissive and condescending towards Mirabel, her granddaughter whose door vanished when she was a child.
Mirabel tries not to care about her lack of gifts, hoping to find her place in the world as an ordinary girl. The day of the latest gift ceremony, she notices cracks in the wall. They vanish when she tries to show the family, but she overhears Abuela worrying about them. The magic may be fading, and Mirabel has to figure out why.

Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Thanks to Abuela refusing to see that she's a toxic grandparent, {{spoiler|Mirabel calls her out, and this snapped family bond causes La Casita to collapse and the miracle to end. Mirabel then wanders off in a daze after she spent La Casita's last moments trying to rescue the candle, worrying her family to no end and filling Abuela with remorseful guilt. Abuela tracks her down, apologizes to Mirabel for the way she treated her granddaughter, and relates the real story of how her husband died. Bruno then reveals himself for the first time in a decade, thinking that Abuela is attacking Mirabel, and is surprised when a remorseful Abuela hugs him instead. The neighbors help rebuild La Casita out of thanks for all the help the Madrigals gave them over the years, and the magic returns when Mirabel adds the doorknob as a finshing touch. Abuela promises to be less overbearing, }}
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: While Mirabel doesn't say this outright, she has an annoyed expression whenever an outsider expresses sympathy or tries to make her feel better about having powers. Granted, the neighborhood kids are [[Innocently Insensitive]] about the fact that she has no gifts, and a local florist gives her a basket on the house called "The Not Special Special" in an attempt to make Mirabel feel better about her failed ceremony.
* [[Generational Trauma]]: ''Encanto'' puts this on full display for most of the movie. Abuela Alma witnessed bandits murdering her husband who attempted to protect her and their triplets, along with a group of refugees. When the miracle happened-- an ever-burning candle caused the mountains to rise and dispel the bandits while creating a safe haven for the survivors, and giving magic to Abuela's children-- Abuela became convinced that the best way to respect the miracle was to make her children useful. Unknowingly, her demand for perfectionism and rigidity causes her to alienate her powerless granddaughter Mirabel who tearfully pinpoints at her [[Rage Breaking Point]] that she will ''never'' be good enough for Abuela. That's not even going into how she inadvertently turned her son Bruno into the town's pariah {{spoiler|who opts to hide in la Casita walls to mend the cracks and protect Mirabel from one of his prophecies}}, has driven her other granddaughter Luisa to a near-breakdown with how Luisa feels she needs to literally carry the house's burdens on her back, and treats Isabela as the golden child who must never get her hands dirty despite an affinity for plants. It takes {{spoiler|la Casita crumbling as Mirabel finally calls out Abuela for her toxicity for Abuela to acknowledge the trauma of seeing her husband die in front of her and reconcile with her granddaughter after a dazed Mirabel wanders from the rubble}}.
* [[Go Mad From the Isolation]]: Poor {{spoiler|Bruno}} is still {{spoiler|a nice guy, but visibly undernourished and overworked hiding in La Casita's walls for ten years. He ran away after his last prophecy showed Mirabel standing in front of La Casita and knew that it would turn Mirabel into more of a scapegoat than she already is, but didn't want to leave his family to rot. He reveals to Mirabel that he has been entertaining himself by creating soap operas starring the rats}}.
* [[Happily Married]]: All the married couples from the Madrigal family.
* [[No Antagonist]]: This is an unusual Disney movie in that there is no outright evil villain. Abuela is certainly an antagonist, but [[Obliviously Evil]] who mends her ways {{spoiler|when she realizes that she nearly got Mirabel killed with her emotional abuse}}. While Bruno is a figure shrouded in mystery whose prophecies spelled doom and gloom, {{spoiler|we find out he's a sweet guy that happened to have a sucky gift and a big heart}}.
