Encanto has taken the world by storm over the last few months, becoming one of Disney's most culturally-dominant animated flicks since the original Frozen.

With millions of people around the world watching and rewatching the film then, it's to be expected that all sorts of minuscule details have caught the attention of fans.

One such detail lies early in the film, when we see the magical door fade away in front of young Mirabel, and she fails to obtain her gift. Right before this happens, fans noticed that Mirabel wipes her hands on her dress after touching the family's candle, spawning the theory that she actually wiped off her magic in this moment.

However, like Gunn, co-director Jared Bush responded to this theory with a quick "nope", stating that Mirabel's action was a "character specific mannerism", rather than a plot-relevant detail.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
