A new fan-made Encanto TikTok brilliantly recreates Camilo’s verse from “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” with seamless transitions. Released by Disney last November, Encanto has only gotten more popular in the months since its theatrical debut. It grossed $223 million worldwide, a respectable number for an animated movie during the coronavirus pandemic, but it was its Christmas Eve release on Disney+ that helped it become a viral sensation. Since then, fans have found new ways to interact with Encanto online, and they’ve boosted “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” to the top of the Billboard charts to make it Disney’s most popular song in 29 years.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Encanto centers on 15-year-old Mirabel Madrigal (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz), a kind-hearted girl who is the only member of her family who doesn’t possess a magical ability. Everyone else, from her mother to her younger cousin, has been blessed by their family home, putting Mirabel on the outside looking in. However, when the house starts to lose its magic, it looks like Mirabel is the only one who can save the day. On top of its compelling story, Encanto features an infectious soundtrack of songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda, many of which have become viral hits.

The biggest is the aforementioned Billboard-topping “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” which has captured fans’ attention and inspiration since Encanto‘s debut. The latest example of fan ingenuity comes from TikTok user Brian Esperon, who posted a clever video that recreates cousin Camilo’s verse from the songs. Even better than just mouthing along to the lyrics, Esperon depicts Camilo’s shape-shifting between himself and the titular Bruno with perfect transitions.

The success of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” has taken many by surprise, including Miranda himself. Based on the many TikToks and parodies that have emerged surrounding the song, it seems fans are having fun with its role as an ensemble number and Camilo’s shape-shifting. That can be hard to master in real life, but as seen with Esperon’s video, a few sly bits of editing can take care of it. Encanto fans are definitely some of the most talented ones out there these days.

As “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” continues to flex its might, fans have been treated to some exciting behind the scenes tidbits about the film. Recently, co-director Jared Bush revealed Encanto nearly had a post-credits scene that would’ve ended the film on a funny note. That there is still more being revealed about Encanto months after its debut shows how much of a success it has become, and it’s pretty thrilling to see. Now might be a good time to sit back and stream “Bruno” for the millionth time.
