I saw the villain as the Grandmother's pride, but either way, it wasn't a named character.

Tend to agree here, or if you were to ask one of my kids (5 and 8), they’d say the grandmother in general was the villain. They didn’t see the nuance of it or the end as a moment of redemption. They just saw her as mean to Maribel and the villain.

It did also have the (real life) villains at the beginning which creates the tragedy that kicks off the events.

But yes no villain for a child to anchor too.
