Disney's latest animated outing, Encanto, has been a massive hit among fans. From its heartfelt story to its catchy songs, the film has made an impact both in theaters and on Disney+. Its songs have also topped the charts, even usurping Frozen's "Let it Go" from its top spot thanks to the lyrical creativity of Lin-Manuel Miranda. But one of the movie's catchiest songs nearly came out without its most integral part.

Encanto follows Mirabel Madrigal and her family, who live in a magical house that grants them unique abilities. With these powers, the Madrigals support the house and their community, helping any way they can. However, Mirabel tries harder than most because she is the only family member without powers. But when she learns that the magic is dying, she is the only one who can stop it. This also means delving into the history of her estranged uncle, Bruno.

Bruno has the power to see into the future, and because he foresaw the magic dying, he disappeared and was never spoken of again. This is explained to Mirabel in the hit song, "We Don't Talk About Bruno." However, it was revelated in a New York Times article that Bruno nearly went by the name Oscar, which could have altered the song entirely. That said, the reason for the change is so specific that it's hard to believe some magic wasn't involved in the song's evolution.

According to director Bush Howard, the script had Bruno's original name being Oscar Madrigal. But as the crew continued working on Encanto, they discovered that there are a substantially large number of people named Oscar Madrigal. As a result, they decided to change the name and gave a list of possible replacements to Miranda to see what name worked best for his music, making way for Bruno.

Ironically, his choice seems fated, as the song's hook, "We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no," is one of the song's catchiest parts. The realization and subsequent change also showcase how Disney focuses on multiple small details that the audiences may never know about. However, when any of these tidbits are revealed, it only further solidifies how much care goes into making their films.

Encanto is a unique film about acceptance and family that reminds its viewers that there may be cracks in the foundation, even if something seems perfect on the outside. This is evident not only through its symbolism but also in its songs. In Bruno's case, his song shows how even though he was an outcast in his family, he never gave up on his loved ones. But knowing his name was changed brings up the question of whether his song and impact would be as strong if his name had remained Oscar.
