So one of the message of the film is "Forgive Toxic family members"


Really, am I the only one who did not accept the grandmother regrets and change of heart? Honestly, I was watching and thinking to myself that family was horrible and completely ignored Mirabelle. The grandmother especially was a major b***. Call me pessimist but I would have loved if at the end if Mirabelle realized she did not need that family who neglected her and made her feel so little and just gave them the middle finger to build her own life far away from them haha It wouldn't be very Disney but closer to the truth. I hate those types of messages ! No ! Biological family is not everything , some of us have crappy family and make our own family with our friends. I really do not like the message of the film that basically say embrace the family who made you live in an attic room and excluded you from everything just because... "La Familia" my *ss! lol

I think I can accept this message, but first Abuela has to have a major epiphany.

As it stands, Abuela finds Mirabel just as the script demands that she apologize for her behavior.

But that is what happened when the Casita crumbled.
That is when Abuela saw where she had been in the wrong all these years.
