Disney Pixar Coco Day of the Death Spirit Enchanted Dante Alebrije 15 Inch Plush: amzn.to/2i9UFcC
Walking out of movies like Finding Dory, Cars 3 and even Moana I was unsure initially on how much I would love and remember these films while films like Zootopia and Frozen gave me a feeling I was watching cinema history unfold. For Coco, I felt I was seeing a classic. I hope, if you live in the United States, you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got the chance to go see Disney Pixar’s Coco because, there will be spoilers ahead, and I thought it was amazing. Coco was wonderful AND full of some extremely interesting lore which is why I am diving into one aspect of the film: Dante. Dante, the loyal Xolo dog to Miguel, may seem like an average dog, but by looking into the legends and traditions of the Xolo breed we can discover Dante’s true power.
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

QOTD: Did you cry at the end of Coco? And do you think Dante is much more powerful than he appears?
I definitely cried!
Wotso Videos I cried so much throughout the film
Wotso Videos + the end and a couple other scenes got me a lil also I found myself asking if Dante was some kind of spirit as well great vid
Wotso Videos I cried so much
you're right
Wotso Videos I loved the movie it was amazing but sad 😢 because I realized since coco was in the land of the dead she died 🤧
I cried when Miguel sang remember me to Coco
The Coco movie had some great characters. I watched de this with my Grandmother and she cried at the end of it.
Could it be that disney has broken rule (humm mumm mumm) rule 1 no sad endings??
It's not sad, it's bittersweet
I cried too. Such a beautiful movie
Aww!
Description Untitled I ❤it
I love how you go so in depth and actually research the history, cultures, and mythology when you make videos.
Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the work I put into these videos! Thanks for watching!
Nice video - thanks for the lore behind the Zolo dog!
The only thing I disagree with is about Dante being an Alebrije all along.
I believe that Dante earned his status as an Alebrije after saving Miguel in the underworld. Only then he was transforming and becoming an Alebrije - an official soul guide.
The supporting evidence to this is his surprise and even fear when he begins to change colour, the fact that his wings are so small and underdeveloped (as well as his control over them), and the fact that right at the end of the movie, we can actually see Pepita (the giant Alebrije that helps Miguel's Grand-grandmother) traversing into the real world as a regular cat.
This leads me to believe that maybe all animals can traverse between the worlds of the living and the dead, and as time passes and they perform more deeds of guidance, they become much more powerful and wondrous.
Except cats said to be able to walk between the living and the dead. I dont think its all animals I just think it a specific type of animals that mythologically had dealing with the dead.
I like this theory. Then all pets can be spirit guides, even hamsters, birds, or snakes. 😊
There is a scene where Miguel and his family (from the land of the dead) enter the land of the dead. The portal makes them shift a bit, which is expected. But for Dante, the portal doesn’t shift, which leads me to believe that his fate to be the bridge between the living and dead world.
Your theory is valid and strong, but after seeing that scene my take is that while he did earn it, it was his fate to be an Alebrije to cross that world and back.
Even though you're pronunciation of aztec words are awful (believe me, we mexicans had the same problem the very first time) I'll give you a well-earned like because of your hard work researching the Xolos mithologies.
StormBringer1966 u spelt mythology wrong
Nahuatl*
I wanna see the full story of Cobra Bubbles. He managed to save the Earth and seems to have a deeper history than we have seen with Lilo and Stitch.
I have thought about that video before. There isn't a ton on him, but I still think ti could be pretty interesting! Thanks for watching!
Wotso Videos I guess there wouldn't be but he and the high counsel woman seemed to know each other so I thought it could be fun
light darksoul I always thought he was part of men and black which is why he didn’t seem to phased with the whole aliens thing
Also. The Word Xoloitzquintle literaly means "dog of the dead".
It does
No Dante is not dead he went back to the real world
Yea I think that Dante really is Miguel spirit guide just like pee Pete that is his great grandmother
Coco is so touching, it just makes you all emotionally inside. The songs were beautiful(especially “Remember Me”) and the plot made a great movie. This is why I consider Coco my favorite Pixar movie ever.
+Connor Plisga I agree. It's definitely up there for me. Honestly its one of my favorite films of theres in years. I haven't really been excited about Pixar until this film.
It became my favorite movie of all time
I just saw for the first time, and I loved it. Song remember me, I cried. When hector is fading away… I cried too, you’re right it is emotional inside. I cried I 😂 especially Dante, he’s my favorite loco dog. In good way😂😂😂😂
In Frozen some people had problems with Huns being a twisted villain because it felt like they just did that for the sake of fooling the audience. But in Coco we find out who is the bad guy and who is the good guy half way through AND how those two characters has something in common and how they were related.
Hans H-A-ns.
I may not have a Scandinavian Name but the blood of my heritage and relatives are and that blood choruses through me Again Hans H-A-ns. Dont argue with me.>:3
I knew Hans was evil the first time I watched the movie. I knew at the confrontation at the ice castle. The hints were there, people just don't know how to notice details.
I'm case nobody else noticed it (because I've never met anyone else other than myself and my husband who did), Hans tried to kill Elsa in the ice castle. He was honestly kind of brilliant.
Chanibear 777, That's what I meant. I'm not always a good speller.
Also, Lol. I see what you mean.
I forced my mom and friend to watch this. They thought it was predictable and not very emotional, while I was on the verge of tears and got bamboozled by every plot twist
A Bird Lover Wow. Your friend and mom have hearts of stone.
As a Latina I really enjoyed Coco even though I'm not from Mexico I liked how they represent Latin culture. And it wasn't an exaggeration most Latin Abuelas( grandmother) are like Miguel's
+Alondra Flores I'm happy to hear people enjoyed the way Pixar depicted the Mexican culture! I thought it was a blend of culture without stereotyping. Thanks for watching!
I am Latinx I've had a close relationship with Mexican culture. I was so moved by this movie. I cried so much
Alondra Flores represent ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺😎😎😎😎😎🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Seriously. Miguels grandma was my abuelita 😂
I am Mexican, born and raised in Mexico until I was 9, so I grew up around plenty of traditions, so I really love all the details in the movie, from the way the town looks likevan authentic Mexican town, to the blink-and-you'll-miss cameos from many famous Mexican icons, including people like Cantinflas (one of Mexici's greatest comedic actors), Pedro Infante (one of the greatest singers in Mexucan history who Ernesto de la Cruz is partially based on), El Santo (one of the greatest luchadores in history, so famous for never revealing his face until after his retirement), and many more celebrities who I can't remember but I recalled being excited to see when they appeared
I watched coco three times! It’s definitely better in Spanish 🙌🏼
+Undres S7 Dang! I don't speak Spanish so it'd be difficult for me without subtitles but I'm sure it's an awesome experience!
I definitely cried at the end of coco, and I think Dante is stronger than he appears, I also laughed a lot when Hector’s friend said he “choked on chorizo” and It was hilarious. At first I didn’t want to watch it then I went to see and I don’t regret it a bit. Amazing theory about Dante, he was so cute and funny!!!😊 Who was your favorite character, mine was definitely Hector or Grandma Coco🤩
+Pinklover175 I love chorizo and recently learned about that so I really remembered that part too! I'm glad you liked the theory! I think Hector was the most interesting character for me! Thanks for watching!
Wotso Videos you got it right Dante is powerful and I want to believe all dogs are so I already have mine to cross me over not
yet though lol
Dante was so adorable and silly! When watching Coco in theaters Dante reminded me of my fursona character Frolly, but as a dog!
When I found out that chorizo literally means 'sausage/hot dog' in Spanish, I wouldn't have been surprised if that was the way Hector died. They are great choking hazards and sadly, claim the lives of people each year.
Vivaldithe2nd Reptiles and Amphibians lol, don’t worry chorizo is not an ACTUAL sausage, though it is packaged like one. It actually has more of a packed smeary ground beef consistency. It sounds weird, but it’s basically almost dissolves when cooked, so it’s usually added when cooking foods like eggs and beans. And while you can cook and eat chorizo by itself, it’s not going to be shaped like a cut up sausage.
Cried a lot! And slightly obsessed with this movie.
DO A LION KING THEORY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO NALA'S MOTHER SARAFINA IN LION KING 2
Here where I live we have a couple of dogs, one black and one white; they are called cadejos and the black takes you to the underworld and the white saves you from the lost path.... by the waY, i love your videos 💕
Whoa that's super cool! Also thank you so much!!
Dante is such an adorable Xolo dog. I love how his tounge hangs out and flaps around
did cry at the end of coco... so beautiful
Hi there, just wanted to thank you for the video and for talking about the xoloitzcuintli or xolo ("cholo," not to be confused with the culture and style). I wanted to say thanks because this is a big thing for me and my culture. This film has shined a beautiful light on our tradition, our love for family, and how we are never really gone.
If you ever get the chance, go and partake in the celebration, you'll feel like family.
¡¡¡Viva mi gente, viva los xolos (both the dog breed and the soccer team), y viva la familia!!!
You did good Isaac, but I have a challenge for you can you say parangaricutirimicuaro?
Did I cried? Yes
Is Dante the cutest dog? Yes (in my opinion) and yeah he is more powerful than it appears to be
+Yagi theRabbit I do not think I could say that... Thanks for answering the questions and for watching!
Pronunciation:
pa-rang-ar-cu-ti-ri-mi-(kwa)-ro
OH MY GOSH!!! I had to bite my lip, trying not to cry. I was afraid Hector would die, and Miguel would stay in jeb laanf of the dead! But Pixar did a great job on this, no doubt. Hi Issac!! I love your channel!!!
I went to watch Coco with my mother, father and aunt and we all 4 cried! It's impossible not to! 😅💓🌟
I love the bridge so much, it was so beautiful
Hi, did you notice that Dante is the one that guides Miguel to his family when he first sees the skeletons. Then Dante makes Hector dance with Miguel, also when Miguel leaves Hector, Dante tryies to stop Miguel from leaving, even Miguel tells Dante: Leave me alone, you are not a spiritual guide, you are just a dog...
I CRIED LIKE A BABY and yes Dante is definitely more than he appears. I loved him :D
Coco WAS SOOOOOO GOOD
Who else loves the Dante-brije?❤️
Remember me though i have to say goodbye -
Continue pls
Yes I cried at end Coco. I think Dante is Very Powerful. I Question for you do Think there will be sequel to Coco?
I think it's too early to say. I would definitely go see one, but I don't think they made this film with the intention to create a sequel. I'm fine with the story and characters the way they are now and would probably prefer Pixar to continue working on new stories. Thanks for watching!
Wotso Videos
That's what I thought of finding Nemo and now we have finding Dory.
I watch Coco yesterday....and rewatched it today. My only regrets is never being able to experience the movie like the first time ever again. Its too beautiful. I cried a lot, more than just the end.
I'm gonna watch all these Coco videos now xD
Is anybody else thinking WHY DOES DANTE LOOK SIMILAR LIKE ED FROM THE LION KING EXCEPT IN DOG FORM😐😐🤔🤔🤔😲😲😲
Wotso Videos I stared crying the whole movie and by the end I was sobbing pretty much. Dante is a special type if dog and he does have a lot more powers hopefully we get another movie or a short to see how everyone is doing
+America Rincon The movie really hit me at the end. That would be really cool to see. I think if they ever add onto the lore a short would be all I'd need. Thanks for watching!
I just saw Coco and I loved it it was amazing and I wondered how Dante could see and feel Miguel
I cried it was so sad
One thing I noticed is that Dante actually has references to two different "Land of the Dead" stories; Dante is the main character in "The Divine Comedy", which is about a man journeying through the afterlife, interestingly he's accompanied by a poet named Virgil. Granted Divine Comedy is more of a guided tour and the roles of the main characters are reversed (In Coco Dante is the guide and in Divine Comedy Virgil is), but it's sort of interesting that they managed to have two completely different afterlife stories referenced in the same character
I was born in America but my parents are mexican so am I. And it just makes me so happy hearing people likeing coco. It warms my heart people seeing mexican culture and loving it.
SPOILERS
Is nobody gonna talk about Dante turning into an “Alibreje” (wrong spelling)
YES!!! Another great video by the only one Wotso videos.
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
ocean of tears
Not even gonna lie -- this is the first movie in atleast a decade that has squeezed sweet, bitter man-tears from my face.
When i watched coco, it reminded me of the book of life😱😱😱😱😱😱😱,And when i saw hector (when he was still alive)singing to little coco remember me i cried😢
This is only the second video that I'm watching and I already love you.
Totally cried at the end
Yes I cried,I didn’t want hector to be forgotten and I wanted Miguel to be able to see them again in the land of the dead,but I’m so happy he survived and they are with him!😭❤️👏👏👏😍😍😍😱😱
yes and yes. i cried intensely! get them onions outta my face
I loved Coco. I cried like a baby.
I did not cry at the end of COCO and I do think Dante is much more powerful than he appears.
I absolutely loved Coco. I just watched it. It was awesome.
I watched Coco in a movie theater with my family :3
Hey Issac thanks for making this video centering on Dante, it's really cool to see how Dante made an impact and his abilities when he interacted with Miguel.
Also, just went to see Coco last week and I got to say, as a fellow mexican myself it's one of Pixar's best films I've seen and had a lot of heartwarming and emotional moments.
My pleasure! I feel the same way. Coco had a really moving story and I'm happy to hear other fans appreciated the story they told. Thanks for watching!
I bawl like a baby at the end of coco every time 🥲🥲🥲
Dante is my favorite character
I also cried at the end. But i love this movie so much and yeah i think Dante is much more powerful than he appears
I saw the movie before watching this video so I was not spoiled 😊
+Aylin Urbina That's good! It's a movie that is awesome to see with no prior knowledge. Thanks for watching!
Same.
I cried
I'm a Xolo owner. They did an absolutely perfect job at capturing the small quirks of the breed with Dante's animation. Their tongues really do flop out like that due to their unique teeth. I believe that all Xolos are, by default, spirit guides❤
I flicking love Coco My mom and my aunt where crying
I bawled for 20 minutes straight after watching the movie

Coco was a fun movie and sad too but also love the music too and can wait when it come out to own and play it constantly too
FINALLY! Coco has finally come to my country so now I can watching this video! (I cried so badly at the end but it was a great movie)
Show-lo, not zolo.
Sharati Iwillkeepmygunsthankyou
So glad someone said something! I flinched everytime he said zolo instead of sholo
All the characters where relatable and that's why I cry at the end .Like how does Pixar make dead people relatable
I did not cry at the end of coco!🤶🏻🎅🏻🦊🦌🐐🐓🐓🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐄🐐🐑🐑🐑🐑🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐕🐳🐋🐟
Can you do Hector's full story?
Very good comments!!! Just a note: The word Xolo doesn't pronounces "Solo". It's "Sholo". Greetings from Mexico!
Disney COCO I love It I Love I Love I Love I Love when i seen it i almost 😢 now i am in Love 💘 with COCO ( I hated Eronesto De La Cruz until i discovered the Truth) Hector is the great great grandfather! 💘 💘 💘
Caleb Medley
*SPOILER!!!*
I’ve already seen the movie so it doesn’t matter to me, but some people may not have seen it yet you might wanna think before you just post spoilers everywhere.
Actually, Dante is just a Xolo. Xolo dogs are seen as spirit guides just as much as Alebrijes.
I cried. So much but coco was so touching 😁
I need this type of dog like right now because this dog could help me with all my problems
You do a theory video on how Turbo took over Sugar Rush in Wreck-it Ralph after Turbo Time was unplugged, and became King Candy. I’ve been wondering that for years.
Before they unplugged turbo he went to sugar rush and took over a new form ig
Nice drawing dude! 😂 Love it!
I loved how when we first saw Dante he was in a trash next to the table with the Alebrijes
I honestly think that Dante was Hector's alebrije like pepita (cat) was his wife's alebrije. Dante has spent his time in the living world trying to guide someone in the family to find out about Hector. What confirmed it was Miguel's grandmothers comment on "naming a street dog and it will follow you," plus the foreshadowing in the beginning of the movie where Dante was introduced next to the alebrije figurines table
Love it... I have fun watching this video thanks isaac
I love Coco. Dante is my favorite animal character.:-):-D
One of your best videos
Cool video
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
This is the best video yet... idk what I'm doing
Augh, such a great movie. I definitely cried and I also went to go see it three times! Great video, dude! I love how interested people like you are in the lore of Coco. As an indigenous Mexican-American, it brings a great smile to my face to see people learn about our culture. Also, in case you care, it's pronounced more like "sholo" than "zolo!"
Isaac you deserve a 1M subscribers...
I adore Coco! Makes me appreciate my Xolo baby even more , if that’s possible! Ooh..Xolo is pronounced sh-olo 👍🏽 the xoloitzcuintle is indeed a modern day relic! I chose a Xolo due to suffering from many illnesses and iv improved since my boy came into my life! Great video! Xx
Of course I cried the end was sooooo sad but it was also full of heart I love the movie coco
This answers everything..! Dante is the God of Pixar!
Maybe that's why Dante could see Miguel even when he was a spirit.
It was so good I watched it 3 times
Coco made me cry and coco is a cool movie
I cried. I soooo cried.
Yup i cry
I didn’t think I would cry but it just poured out when I didn’t want it to😭
I remember reading Linares's story as a child...the part that got to me, was during his dream, he had to walk through a bridge that kept getting narrower... at the end was thick as a pencil....
Hello PixarFahns PixarGirl here and I have a challenge for Isaac
...
*Can you PLZ do a vid on Cruz' s origins and why her family didn't wanted her to be a racer? °-•* I know she said that her family was only trying to protect her, but I think there is still some secret behind this situation.
Also I didn't watched the movie yet since I got sick on Thanksgiving Break cause of my young brother. (I have 3... only girl)
I already love Coco cause of this vid. Man this underworld stuff reminds me of Percy Jackson. *VIVA MEXICO MIS COMPASS QUE YO SOY MEXICAN ASTAL TOPE!!!*
Translated: Viva mexico my friends!!! Cause I am Mexican to the top and bottom!!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️(my thumbs hurt cause all of this typing on the keyboard on my phone.)
Hi
U
Dante should be on Elena of Avalor, He is a spirit guide like Zuzo the spirit fox.
When I went and saw the movie Coco in theaters, Dante reminded me of my fursona “Frolly the fox”! Coincidentally, he almost had the exact same expressions and personality (especially when he’s excited or freaking out) as Frolly from my own cartoon series, and not to mention the magic and Halloween theme! WHAT!?!
I can't wait this movie comes to my country so I can go see it
Hopefully the movie comes to you soon! Thanks for watching!
1:07 made me sing “jitterbug” from wham!
Good job boy, interesting real interpretation of Dante background, the Aztec´s dog. Rgs, from Mexico City
Very Interesting
