The 10 Funniest Encanto Memes | Screen Rant
Encanto took viewers by storm and refuses to let them go, with the songs and messages staying firmly in the minds of the audiences. The story of the Madrigal family struggling to cope with their house crumbling and their relationships with each other is relatable and engaging. So, naturally, fans took to the internet and did what they do best — make memes.
These are the funniest Encanto memes out there right now, referencing the songs, characters, and favorite quotes of the movie's many fans.
Fans love to mock the fact that a song about not talking about Bruno explicitly talks about Bruno the whole time.
This meme, shared by one of the writer-directors of Encanto, draws on a familiar structure in which Tamatoa seems threatening before he eagerly shares his life story in the song "Shiny," one of the best songs in Moana. The meme picks fun at the story, while also lovingly associating it with another of Disney's masterpieces.
Ever since Frozen came out, it has stayed at the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist, with "Let It Go" and "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" brimming just beneath the surface. However, Lin Manuel Miranda's newest hit might beat it out, with TikTok going crazy over "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Surface Pressure."
Truly, Encanto seems to have put Frozen in its grave for being one of the best family-oriented, magical movies out in the last decade.
There seems to be a lot of confusion in the town in which Encanto is set concerning what Bruno has control over. The townspeople and his family blame him for every bad thing that ever happens, particularly when he has said anything about it beforehand.
However, Encanto fans demand justice for Bruno and want everyone to know that Bruno seeing the future doesn't make it his fault. Bruno may or may not have predicted the death of the fish in question, but either way, the death has nothing to do with him or his abilities, which surround telling the future not controlling the life and death of fish.
This meme draws on the relatability of the song "Surface Pressure," which relays the struggles of being an older sister with the weight of the world on you. Lines such as "See if she can handle every family burden" and "Never stop to question if the same pressure would've pulled you under" are crushing, particularly for those who can relate to the song.
The song, along with the movie as a whole, is definitely not just family fun for those with family-related trauma.
Many fans listen to music as they go about their daily lives, but this meme shows a whole new pressure to not start singing and dancing along. "We Don't Talk About Bruno," one of the best songs in Encanto, includes a number of dramatic parts that fans love to sing along to, which makes it difficult to keep their cool while in public.
While the songs are definitely worth obsessing over, it might be best to blast them while home alone, rather than listening to them in public.
After the family has started to fix the cracks amongst themselves, everyone begins to act like everything is okay, at which point Camilo points out that they don't have a house, a moment his father scolds him for. He gets offended, wondering why he can't state the truth.
This meme draws on the line from Despicable Me when Gru says, "In terms of money, we have no money," and it is sure to have all fans in stitches.
This meme draws on a famous scene from Drake and Josh where the brothers build a treehouse and forget to install the door. In the meme, Josh wears Abuela's hair and Drake has Mirabel's, as the door fades away behind them.
This draws on the familiar scene to show off the blame that Abuela put on Mirabel for her door disappearing. While it was never Mirabel's fault, Abuela treated her as though it was, which lines up well with the strong blame Josh puts on Drake in this scene.
Fans have to wonder where Camilo got the description "7-foot frame, rats along his back" when referring to Bruno, as the man is shorter than his sisters and not nearly as intimidating as Camilo suggests. The meme shows that Camilo may have just seen a shadow, using a scene from Lilo and Stitch where Nani is terrified by Stitch's shadow when all he's trying to do is innocently get a snack.
Fans have to imagine something similar happened to Camilo as a child, seeing Bruno distorted by shadows to create the fearsome image he conjures for Mirabel.
Pepa makes a big deal out of it being Bruno's fault that there was a hurricane during her wedding when she is the one who controls the weather. This meme shows the concern and fear that Bruno must have felt after an innocent joke gets turned into a literal hurricane.
The meme helps show Bruno's point of view when so much of the movie paints Bruno from other people's negative perceptions of him.
In Encanto, the house literally crumbles apart due to the pressure and tension between members of the family. Mirabel gets a firsthand look at how her sisters have been cracking under that pressure, with Luisa struggling to always be the strong one and Isabela struggling to always be perfect.
Once the house is put back together and the family starts to reconcile their issues, it is portrayed as though things are fixed. However, the family, particularly the grandchildren, who are some of the most likable Encanto characters, might need some therapy to fully work through their respective traumas.
