'Encanto' is still stealing hearts, with number one songs and a growing fanbase.

Now, fans are convinced they've spotted some clues that would mean Dolores was lying the whole time.

Warning, major spoilers ahead if you haven't watched it!

Eagle-eyed viewers think they've spotted somethung about Dolores and the relationship she develops with Mariano.

If you need a reminder, Mariano was her cousin Isabella's fiance earlier in the film.

Mirabela calls Isabela the "Señorita Perfecta”, as she is known as the golden child of the Madrigal family.

She can create beautiful flowers and plants at her whim.

Everyone was waiting for Isabela to marry Mariano, but she doesn't actually want to.

Rejected, a disheartened Mariano told Mirabel how sad he was, who then introduced him to Dolores.

She has been in love with Mariano for the course of the film, revealing her love for him in 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' (the number one song from the film).

Dolores sings about Bruno's prediction about her love life: "He told me that the man of my dreams would be just out of reach, betrothed to another."

Dolores and Mariano get together with Isabella's permission.

However, fans think Dolores lied to split Isabela and Mariano up earlier in the film.

A fan on Reddit wrote: “Sometimes I wonder if Dolores lied about Mariano wanting to have five babies so Isabela would say something about not wanting to marry him.”

Dolores has enhanced hearing, and people say she knows everything about everyone.

Some fans don't believe that he actually said he wanted such a big family.

One person disagreed with the theory, writing: “Maybe but I’m more surprised that she’s down to have those five kids with him if it’s true lol.”

However, one fan agreed: “It makes sense! It would be a way of maybe convincing her to give up without hurting her feelings.”

Someone else thought it was all a wind-up: “If you look at the expression on her face, she's definitely teasing Isabella.”

Encanto opened at the cinema last year to little fanfare, but has grown in popularity after arriving on Disney Plus.

In fact, 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' overtook everyone's other favourite Disney tune, Let It Go from 'Frozen'.

It's now Disney's highest-charting song on the UK singles chart.
