#11: Bruno Madrigal – Encanto

Bruno Madrigal is another character from Disney’s Encanto, a mysterious and enigmatic member of the Madrigal family. Known for his disheveled appearance and shaggy hair, Bruno is unique in his ability to see into the future and predict significant events. Bruno’s character design was inspired by a traditional Latin American folkloric figure known as “El Sombrerón,” a ghostly figure associated with love and courtship.

Bruno’s absence from the family’s magical ceremony is a central mystery in the film, and his character serves as a pivotal plot point. While his initial disappearance leaves many unanswered questions, Bruno’s eventual reintegration into the Madrigal family highlights the importance of understanding and embracing one’s unique qualities and the significance of familial bonds.
