Coco is at the very least one of the prettiest animations I've seen in quite a while. Makes me want to go get a 4K TV. But it also somehow manages to pull a tear or two out of me each time I watch it. SOMETIMES three. Here's everything right with Coco! Next week the complete opposite of Coco.

Outro Music: "Rise of the Heroes" by Jon Wright - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
there is a saying I remember: you die only twice. The first is when you take your last breath. The second is when you name is said for the last time. this movie shows that to great effect and chilling at the same time.
That saying is beautiful and haunting all at the same time
No, shadows die twice because you need to exhaust all the deathblow markers.
That's why I'm writing a diary. I still have the bible and a diary from my great aunt. She isn't completely forgotten. And I think her and my diary could be valued by future generations like I value hers now
@@emmapayne5954 Kind of like death. I mean that in a positive sense
*laughs in common name*
"I'm the love of your life?"
"I don't know, I'm still angry at you!"
The most Latina response you will ever hear.
Haha yup
That’s elementary school friendships in a nutshell.
Yup
That's not the only one the shoe thing is real too. my great-grandma has once put her shoe to one of her sons and then also the ear thing has been done to myself by the same grandmother.
Hehe true tho.
Missed win: When Miguel realizes Coco can't keep up with his singing he slows down the tempo ಥ_ಥ
Oh I never realised that... aight I'm gonna go cry some more 😭
Welp, time to go cry again
which song is it during
@@lemon854 "Remember me" . Towards the end of the movie, when Miguel sings it to Mama Coco to make her remember Hector again
@chipsareyummy howd you make that face
I like how he says "there are children present", in the plural, possibly referring to the audience? Possible fourth wall break that I love.
I didn’t think of that! Very clever!
Rosemary Aragon thx!
In German he also says that, but there it is a fixed saying, regardless of the number of children.
It’s a clever point, but I think that’s what people say for the phrase, regardless of how many children are present
*pling* im counting that as a win!
One more thing is Hector’s head is constantly detached from his body throughout the entire movie, which references the fact that his head was ripped from the family photo
Oh wow I didn't noticed that.
OR, ya know, He's just a ghost.
HOLY-
Woa
Additionally his clothes and body fall apart as he is forgotten, and at the moment we meet him he is right at the end of his afterlife.
Once he is remembered his clothes are mended and his gait returns to normal. That in particular is one of my favorite touches.
Discovered a win that got missed: when Hector is still kicked out of the shoe-making family, he's barefoot for the whole film...until the end when he's welcomed back into the shoe-making family.
another win: hector's reaction when he realised he can finally walk through the bridge
Nick the Dreamer
also, he’s wearing shoes now!
You have a good point!
Nick the Dreamer AWWWW
He wasn‘t out of the SHOE making family. They started making shoes after he left but I get what you implied and it is a sweet detail that they gave him shoes!!😊
"You're not so bad yourself Gordito" - He's calling him chubby. It's a term of endearment in some places; but in this case he's probably referencing the fact that he actually has a body. Which compared to Hector and everyone else who are skeletons, would definitely qualify as chubby!
this is so clever I love it!!!
That's such a cute detail
Time stamp?
@@_stupidbro 16:20
@@lewisvanslyke6441 Ty!
I also love the fact that your spirit guide is in relation to your personality. Imeldas is this big strong cat, because she was super strong for her family once her husband disappeared (died) and De La Cruz's are just some very clumsy and weak Chihuahuas which reflects his weak personality. Miguels is Dante, because he is a loyal, friendly character, with great bonds to his family and animals.
Also because chihuahuas are neurotic bastards. Don't be fooled by their looks...
i didn’t know De La Cruz had one! I guess i didn’t watch close enough
@@archevenault they’re also all bark and no bite lmfaoo
i wonder why Hector doesnt have one?
@@theunfortunatecat No ofrenda photo, no alebrije.
The way Coco says “Papa” made my cry even more.
Every time, dude.
...every time.
Every... single... time 😞😢
Every................................................................Single.................................................................................................................Time
Every Freaking TIME!!😭😭😭😭
You miss the part where Hector said "If I see my daugther again, I will lift her up and kiss her many times" or something like that, which he did when Coco joined him in the afterlife
So fulfilled promise
It was actually, "give her the biggest hug", but I hear you
@@haydenberends3905 And he DID... she ran up to him and he gave her THE BIGGEST hug! This movie made me wish I had a dad growing up, and now I miss my Familia even more (COVID means I can't go from San Diego to Chicago to see them.)
@@aliyahpulido953 Ugh. COVID-19 is the gift that keeps on giving😤
Aliyah Pulido-Roman I’m so sorry to hear that...I really hope everything gets better.
@@haydenberends3905 That hug is the most satisfying hug in animated film history! So cathartic! 😀
Another win for this- Dementia in its later stages are when most memories are the hardest to recover. But, doctors have reports of their patients humming their favorite song, or melody. The fact that Miguel playing the song "Remember Me" was the key to help her recover her memories was an amazing connection to me. But, it could just be a coincidence. Who knows?
Coincidence? I highly doubt it.
@@StoryMing Coincidence? I THINK NOT
I remember hearing a story from someone who's grandpa had prosopagnosia (face blindness) and to help him remember, they would play the cup song to him. Not about dementia, but a cute story.
My grandad had dementia and we took him to the school concert I was playing in an orchestra for. Unbeknownst to us, the chamber choir had rediscovered the school’s hymn back from the 40s (it was written and composed by one of the high school teachers back when he was a pupil at the same school), and they performed it. He barely recognised my grandma at the time, but for that entire hymn his face lit up and he sung every single word… I will never forget that special moment.
There are things you just can't forget
Can we add the fact that Miguel is consistently fading into a skeleton the duration of the movie without it feeling to abrupt and having the transition be smooth the entirety of the movie?
Another win: Hector being a father is foreshadowed multiple times, like when he’s applying Miguel’s skull makeup and calming his stage fright before his performance! You can really see those dad instincts shining through.
Also when Miguel gets thrown into the cave pool and Hector finds him and comforts him when Miguel says he messed up. It's so sweet I love their relationship before they even find out they're related
Highly agree with that
Censoring his song was the big fatherly moment I found.
Yes one of my favorite moments of them too, also Hector saying he was proud of miguel after they sang un Poco loco, those moments are so sweet after you know they are related
i don't see any dad jokes tho
Another win is that villain's spirit animals are tiny dogs as he have no real connections. While Miguel's family spirit beast is a giant powercat fed by family values.
Hey,don't underestimate Chihuahuas
Tbh, chihuahuas are one of the most loyal dogs, they’re a pack breed and usually bond so strongly to their person that they can die if their person dies. Ernesto does not deserve spirit animals that are so loyal and such a big part of Mexican history.
Ghost bread now that I know this, I agree. Although, this movie was made by Americans. So no matter how much they have tried to slip in as much of true Mexican culture as possible, I think the Chihuahuas are an American thing. Aka: Look at the tiny yippy dogs following the super famous celebrity juxtaposed from the super cat of the simple humble shoe maker family.
The cult of the evil chihuahuas
Chihuahuas are primarily show dogs, no one gets them because they’re sweet because they’re just not. They’re bred as a status symbol. Cats especially large ones are not, they’re strong hunters with a strong will but lions and such actually do have strong pack mentality. It also shows the matriarchal power of Miguel’s family, lionesses are the ones to do the hunting they’re fierce. Chihuahuas are cowardly, they aren’t hunters or such but they do have a mean bite when they feel threatened. He wants to feel big and important but he’s just a cowardly small dog Who relies on others admiration to survive when it comes down to it. (Chihuahuas are a biological nightmare as well)
I love when the living grandmother calls Miguel flacito (skinny) but the skeleton calls him gordito (chubby) 16:24 brilliant!
Its flaquito. With a qu
Yeah since hector is a skeleton so HE is the skinny bitch
When Miguel's grandmother is pretty Chubby compared to her grandson Miguel.
Mm
Makes sense
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
@@theblurryviewfinder Skinny b!tch? Lol
@@theblurryviewfinderAlso, it is an older woman thing, especially grandma, to look at their young relatives and say "You're skinny. Eat up." as a form of love.
Something overlooked,
When De La Cruz gives Miguel his Blessing at the party, the pedal does not illuminate which foreshadows that he is not his relative
I did notice that myself. When Imelda says his name, the petal glows immediately, but when Ernesto does, it doesn't.
Not to mention him being surprised to learn he has a great great grandson.
@@PS4Pat he must have thought "but... which one was-"
@@PS4PatHe most likely has illegitimate children out there 😭
@@chenobujrFr like “so who did I-“
1:59
Bruh she uses the shoe like a revolver because she’s hispanic not because she’s a shoemaker
Every hispanic knows to fear the chancla
Especially if it’s your mom holding the chancla
Oh, you talking about the MM40 heat tracking missile, Yeah we know to fear the chancla jajaja
My mom didn't have a chancla, but she kept a belt hanging in the kitchen.
Yeah, that's another very common weapon here in Latinoamerica xD
Nothing scares us more than the chancla.
One detail I noticed was when Hector doesn’t have his picture on the ofrenda he has tattered clothes, but after Miguel puts his picture on the ofrenda his clothes are neat and organized.
I don't think that's that hard to miss, honestly xD It was the point, after all. The Dead appearance bases on the memories outside the Dead World. Hector was being forgotten. Then he wasn't anymore. Of course he would look better.
And he finally has shoes
@@sofiafernandes9 Not just forgotten; he was remembered as the bum that left his family to chase a music career. Of course they remember him shabbily.
@@pianoguy222 Nope, sorry. His state was affected only by Coco's memory of him. She was the only one still alive that knew him when he was alive, that knew anything about him at all. That's why in the end we see Hector close to "dying" and Miguel ran to Coco to make her remember him. Which showed the rest of the family had no impact o Hector on the other side. They didn't count.
His bad appearance was related to the deterioration of Coco's memory.
Plus it's been pointed out he had *shoes*. For the first time in the film. Significant for his reacceptance into a family of shoemakers.
Honestly, this movie made me cry so many times.
My boys 3 and 5 were obsessed with this movie for months... and then my wife's grandfather passed away. They insisted on having a picture of him always in sight so that they can remember him or he'll fade away... hits hard.
I think it’s best to incorporate a little bit of everything from different cultures into your life, I always ask about my parents lives and try to hold on to what their families were like in life. The dead are only gone when you forget them, after all
Aw wow that's so beautiful. The messages of these movies really stick with kids and clearly yours have wonderful souls ❤️
Now I’m crying again. At least it’s for something real this time
Always learn what you can from and about your parents and elders. That’s the lesson I got from my grandad passing away
Honestly, one of my favorite moments was when Hector went to the Departure Agent again at the end of the movie. We saw that he made her job difficult, I’m pretty sure he caused her extra paperwork when he tried to run by, and it was well established that what we saw wasn’t his first attempt. She gave him a slight look, but she still checked to see if his picture was on an ofrenda, and when she saw that it was, she sounded genuinely happy for Hector in that he got to cross into the Land of the Living.
Oh, and one more, they got the voice actor who plays hector, yeah they got his little girl to sing for young coco. If that’s not adorable, I don’t know what is!
im not crying ive just got la chancla in my eye
That's so sweet tho-
That Percy Jackson fan *I’m crying now*
Oh my god I didn't think that scene could be any better
Well now there's even more reason for it
10:15 Something that adds to the cuteness overload: for when Young Coco sings with Hector, they had Gael Garcia Bernal's (voice actor for Hector) actual daughter, Libertad, sing with her father. And I love that so. Much.
😍😍😍😭😭
I think this is my favorite behind the scenes detail of any movie. It's so goddamn cute! I love this movie so much! There's so much wonderful storytelling, and lessons to be learned, especially for adults, and the animation is beautiful, and the songs are great, and I love the tradition of the Day of the dead, and I'm totally going to use it, because I love the idea of having having a day to tell your family history, because we don't do that enough here in the west. Coco is the best!
That's adorable
aaaaaaaaaaand thats gonna make me cry harder the next time i watch coco again
😍🥺❤❤
"Crushed by a giant bell.."
"I wanna be just like him."
So, *you want to be squished by a bell, dontcha boyo?*
I laughed SO HARD at that part
someone made a joke about that in a video compilation of funny moments in Coco.
LOL
1:59 "Because of course a shoemaker would treat a sandal like a revolver..."
Someone didn't come across "La Chancla" in his research lol
I love the choice of "La Llorona" for Imelda to sing. La Llorona is a famous Mexican legend of a weeping woman who drags kids to the underworld because of something sad in her life, Mamá Imelda is "dragging" Miguel to the underworld for her own sadness in life.
The song is beautiful, in my opinion. Gives me chills every time.
*insert genie jaw drop here*
I think that song specifically references the Oaxacan version of the story, which I think is about a woman who’s love of her life betrays her or something along those lines, but it also works for the other version.
So, "La Llorona" is like a mexican "Banshee".
What about the fact that she sang “I won’t stop loving you” as she looked at Hector lol
"because a shoe maker would treat a sandal like a revolver"
no no,that's just latino culture.You shall fear la chancla.
I don't know why a horror movie called "La Chancla!" hasn't been made yet :D
Si
Horrifying
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
Oh, the stories I've heard from my Abuela. I've come the fear la chancla just as much as my dad
I love how De La Cruz’s spirit animal/guid is a chihuahua, the most selfish and mean of dog breeds.
That may be true, but I still love chihuahuas, you can still earn their trust even if they are rather aggressive
Untrue. I know so many Chihuahuas who are so sweet and would never hurt a fly.
From what I've heard, one of the reasons many Chihuahuas are so mean to humans is because their owners abuse them and treat them more like cosmetics and purses rather than man's best friend. So they have little trust in humans from that.
There also portrayed in this movie as little clumsy things who tumble over things and relay on the stuffs around them. Just like De La Cruz.
and Mama Imelda has the biggest meanest spirit animal with a hidden soft interior
The thing that breaks my heart (but in a good way) is when Coco finally remembers her father and regains her lucidity, the first thing she does is ask why her daughter is crying. The Rivera’s are *all* about family, even barely cognisant Coco spent her lucid moments making sure her daughter was alright.
Coco is a masterpiece. They totally nailed it at representing my culture
Ohagi i bet you 100 bucks you dont even practice “your” culture. Maybe your grandma or some shit but definitely not you.
@@licktin1091 Can ya shut up?
Lick Tin bruh leave the person alone ):
Lick Tin I just noticed my comment got deleted somehow, guess I got to insult your intelligence again.
I agree
Like everyone else, I bawled at the scene where Miguel sings to Grandma Coco... but the part that really took my breath away was when Coco sees her daughter and says "'Lena?" Then asks her why she's crying, or what's wrong. That was such a great way to show how strongly her memory had returned, she not only remembered her Papa, but the rest of her family too.
Also, I feel I have to add, I don't think Moana did choose her quest "over" her family. I think she chose it FOR them. If she went home, there was no way of knowing if anyone else would restore Te Fiti, and her island was dying without her. She continued on her quest to save her family, her home, her people, and her island. At least, that's how I see it.
Well-said. I agree
I don’t cry at movies. Even this.
Go on, call me emotionless.
@@xloisx4603 Same
CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THAT AN ACTUAL KID WAS SINGING INSTEAD OF A ADULT'S VOICE JUST MADE HIGHER??
@@andrewrenolds1063 EXACTLY.
I could never get over Imelda “Hector 😠” and Hector just standing there then saying “you look good 😅”
The man did not let a century stop him from trying.
One thing I really loved about this movie is how well it showed how different the exact same song can feel depending on the context. De La Cruz's Remember Me is all about the immortality gained through being famous, while Hector's original version is a beautiful simple ballad to his daughter as a way to reassure her on the fact that he'll never leave her forever.
I noticed that too, Hector's version makes me cry when he's singing it to Coco as a child. De La Cruz's version was loud and overblown with dancers and an orchestra. Hector's version was just his voice and his guitar singing to his daughter and not the world.
You forgot two wins:
1. The petal glows brighter each time someone adds a condition to the blessing
2. The twist is given away because the pedal don't glow when Ernesto says "Miguel, I give you my blessing."
It's spelled "petal"
@@sleeplessgames1677 Probably Autocorrect
Wow, I didn't notice!
I was so confused, but then I realized you tried to say PETAL.
Petal*
Everything GREAT about Coco:
*-EVERYTHING.*
Everything IS great about Coco
@@haydenberends3905 I didn't put "is" to refer to the title of the video (if that's what you wanted me to notice), if instead you agree with me, I'm happy for that!
😊👍🏻
It has it's faults. Its a Good movie, but theres times where the jokes slack, and some scenes go on a bit too long. But I still enjoy it for what it is.
Roll credits!
Too bad it's probably against copyright to show the whole movie on this channel without permission.
Another thing I like is that it's not just Miguel that gets to play music. In the final scene you can see his cousin playing the violin (possibly viola, not sure) and another cousin on the accordion.
Edit: Apparently they're his cousins
Those are his two cousins, Rosa on the violin and Abel on the accordion!
@@ScentedPineForest Oh, thank you!
The reason there's so much attention to details for the land of the living is because the core Pixar team visited a Mexican town during Dio de Los Muertos and a family of cobblers. They took thousands of photos and hundreds of sketches to capture details for references, it's that kind of dedication that adds to the beauty that is Coco.
That one guy just jamming out to those nuns kills me EVERY time. I can't help but laugh out loud.
*COUGH* Pretty sure that was Weird Al
Yeah, so good. His dancing is so infectious
But that guy is ME. We are the same I started dancing to it cause it was kinda fun and then they showed the crowd and the one guy and I was like "Welp Guess me and him will get along"
@@sampepper7682 SAme, i love the nuns
1,100th like!
Personal Win Counter:
1) This movie taught me that "forget you" was the best way to insult someone. Literally wishing them a second death, which I feel is more powerful than any cuss.
2) Ernesto Dela Cruz? The name rings a bell...
*drum line*
Forget youuuuuu
If I was richer
I’d still be with her
Well ain’t that some shhhhh
I see what you did there 😏
Fun fact: The director said that Ernesto De La Cruz will never be forgotten thanks to his movies and for his murder of Hector, though at least the true fame for Hectors songs went back to Hector himself. This means he's unlikely to get the second death. HOWEVER, he now is hated by the people in the land of the living and the dead, and since he loved fame more than family or music, he'll have a miserable existence for all time.
Just gonna say, look at it from Mama Coco's viewpoint.
At this point your memory is degrading, you're barely remembering things and and you think there's someone there that you've lost, but he's gone from your life and your memory.
You can't even remember your own daughter who must be heartbroken as well, but then your dad.
Mama coco loved her dad so much and vice versa, but he never came back. And your mother who before this loved music, but then abandoned it.
But then, you hear a song and it suddenly sparks something and you find yourself getting a better grasp on reality and suddenly find your Great Grandson with a guitar, and you just sing along to the shock of everyone else.
People say Hector or Imelda are great, but in my opinion coco is even more tragic, she's cursed with longevity and it's ultimately a game of chance that brings the life back into your eyes.
Missed win; the short scene at the end when Hector gets let through to visit the living world. The attendant raising an "eyebrow" when he shows up without tricks or disguises ('cause lets be honest, the one we saw was _not_ the first time he tried a disguise) and Hector just smiles very awkwardly with his straw-hat in his hands in a very humble way and how the attendant gives a genuine, heartfelt smile when letting him through and the sheer relief on Hector's face. It all lasts like, 10 seconds, but it gets to me every time.
My favorite part of the movie is one little hint that Hector is a Rivera. The Riveras have a family quirk of adding extra -itos to words to express love. Like Abuela will call him “Miguelititito”. Then later, at the end of Un Poco Loco, they sing “un pocitititito loco.” No other characters outside the Riveras do this, hinting that De La Cruz didn’t write that song.
"I'm the love of your life?"
"I don't know I'm still angry at you!"
Best love (till after death) story ever
Juliette Boursier also a perfect representation of Mexican mothers, or just mothers in general I guess
Still a better lovestory than twilight
I LOVED THAT PART
Okay, so maybe this is obvious but I didn't realise at first. Throughout the movie, Hector is barefoot and just when he crosses the bridge with the others he gets shoes. He's finally accepted into the shoemaking family.
I noticed that too!
I did NOT notice that. Mind blown
Sofía Stons
AW
Sofía Stons They also fixed his clothes.
Yes! His clothes are also newer, and his bones are whiter is well! :3
Coco is actually one of the best movies I've ever seen. It has so many small details, and so much love, dedication, and time put into it. It really shows just how much the people who made it cared.
My dad looked JUST like Hector. Watching Coco ALWAYS makes cry because my dad was taken from us right before the movie came out. I'm my dads Coco. I never thought about that until now while watching this video...
I hope your ok
R.I.P. to your dad he seemed like a nice man
aw im sorry for your loss
"Because of course a shoemaker would make a sandal a revolver."
*cough* Mexican and Filipino mothers everywhere *cough*
Latino mamás scare their children with the powerful chancla.
RIP same with us Filipinos too lmao
Revolver? You mean a boomerang? 😂. You get hit by a flying slipper only to give it back too 😂😂. Now that's brutal.
Don't forget the Dominican mama's in the back!

Gosh, Miguel singing for his dementia-ridden great-grandmother, reminded me of a time where I played my great-grandmother’s violin for her (she also had dementia), and once I was done everyone told me how her eyes lit up like she remembered, and god it makes me cry
I know what you mean. I lost my mom to Alzheimer's and dementia. The last few weeks were so hard. She didn't remember any one, couldn't speak anymore, got really agitated and upset so easily. One of my last days with her, I knelt in the floor next to her wheelchair and began to softly sing Amazing Grace, which was always her favorite hymn. As I began to sing, her whole body relaxed, she leaned her head on my shoulder just a bit and closed her eyes, completely at peace for the first time in years. I knelt there in the floor of her room in the Home, and sang to her. It must have been a half hour at least. People kept creeping by the door to the hallway, wondering where the singing was coming from, since I'm sure it's not something you hear often in places like that. We lost her just over a week later. But I will always be grateful for the time I got to spend with her, and the small measure of peace she felt with my singing to her.
I understand. My grandfather had dementia and Alzheimer’s as well, I also lost him. Everything was just becoming so hard for my family. They couldn’t keep up with the medical bills and whenever I went to sleep, I would wake up in the middle of the night from hearing crying in my parents’ bedroom. Before my grandfather died, my family and I had all prepared something special for him. We went to where he was sitting on my late grandmother’s chair and I started playing one of his favorite music pieces on the piano, Four Seasons. He always loved classical music and would always teach us chord progressions and things like that. So when I started playing it, my grandfather smiled for once in a while and started slowly tapping to the beat. It was one of the most heart-wrenching moments for my family.
I'm sorry
I have been thankful every day that my parents have never had Alzheimer's or dementia. These can be really hard on everyone and are the cruelest thing that can happen to a family. My heart is with those who have had to witness these ailments consume their loved ones.
The thing I love the most is the defining difference between Hector and his family and Ernesto. Take Imelda’s performance of La Llorona
Notice how Imelda is clearly singing from the heart, she *is* the weeping woman in this song, Hector’s ‘war’ being his inevitable murder at Ernesto’s hand. Ernesto sings from the lungs but not the heart, his singing is a little too upbeat and even for a song like La Llorona. He is singing like a professional who only cares about the performance. He doesn’t care about the soul of the song, he never did. He cared about fame and glory.
Also, during the concert plan, Miguel planned to play “Remember me.” Hector snatches the guitar. It could be taken as him wanting out to win, but I think it was more so him not wanting anyone else to play Remember me, then him and Coco.
You missed a win: The girl ( who I assume is a cousin) can play the violin, which means she too broke the rules and practiced on her own. And wasn't as rash as Miguel, instead choosing to keep her secret through all the drama and belive that things will eventually get better, so that's a hope win. 💜💜💜
If you're talking about the ending scene where Miguel is playing his guitar and singing, I also saw a man playing the accordion.
That was a year later, it doesn't mean anything. The odds are good that Rosa and Abel learned to play in the months following the ban lift, not while it was still in effect.
@@selenopheria Dude, do you have any idea how long it takes to learn violin?! It is one of the hardest instruments to play
@@RainbowRiver NO! THE BONGO DRUMS ARE HARDER
SirCheeseEater! They said ONE of the hardest instruments to play. Calm down
I honestly think Hector's death scene might be the darkest Disney death scene to date. Even moreso than Mufasa's death. Just for the simple fact that we see it from Hector's viewpoint, as he realizes along with us that his old friend and partner was so obsessed with fame that he would gladly murder Hector to get it. Seriously, that first-person narration sends it to a whole 'nother level
CPCoulterTweedles I wouldn’t say as dark as Mufasa, but yeah, it’s definitely up there
CPCoulterTweedles Agreed. I don’t know why, but he prospect of poison always was uncomfortable for me. It bothered my more than any other type of death. When I forst saw Coco, I was so shocked at how Pixar told it. It was just a big mix of sadness, surprise, and uncomfortableness.
To add to the effect, it completely changed how Hector *thought* he died, which was choking on a chorizo or receiving food poisoning, neither of which were correct. Hector didn't even *know* he was murdered until it was almost too late to do anything about it. It was a perfect get-away for Ernesto because Hector was cast out and disowned by his family, so no one would miss him and wonder where he went (or discuss it), and since Hector wasn't well known at all, he was easy to forget. If it hadn't been for Miguel's mix-up, Hector would've been forgotten and Ernesto would've gotten off free with absolutely no one knowing he did such a thing.
You know what makes it darker? The fact that Ernesto imitated Héctor's death- caused by HIM- in his movie
Another part of it is that his death wasn't immediate; just like in real life, it took a while for it to kick in.
"Fans turn on you in an instant, after throwing one kid off a building"
Why did I laugh?
Another fun fact about names: The name Hector means "hold fast." Héctor is a very resolute character who clings to that last thread of hope with all his might, never giving up on the notion of seeing his daughter again, or at least knowing his descendants will be alright. Even at the very end, he's not quite ready to let go. Not until Miguel is alive and safe. Héctor's name was very well chosen.
When he counted the Spanish words I thought about how I always call my boyfriend "mi amor". He told me that he told his family about it and well his dad looked up what it meant. Together they searched up all the Spanish words I have ever written to him and they were in awe about the translations. He even apologised for not having looked them up sooner. And I quote "I didn't know you were so romantic. I never thought you are telling me all these sweet things in a different language." I told him I have only written them in Spanish because I knew he wouldn't look it up and therefore not understand. The things I have written were embarrassing to me and I was anxious about them. Now he's trying to learn Spanish. xD
Edit: noticing how many people are touched by this I just wanted to say that we are now almost 2 years together and we still love each other dearly. He's Spanish is still terrible though.
That's *adorable.*
My girlfriend kinda pulled that in Chinese lol. I googled it immediately though lol

@@sleepytrina7653 Thanks! I haven't even noticed how many people enjoyed this small story ^-^
He's still my sweetheart and we plan both to keep it that way for a (long) while
Another thing that should be mentioned is that the amount of “ofrendas” that poeple recieve equals their status in the after world. De la Cruz has so many people putting up “altares” for him he even has stuff stuff to spare, meanwhile Hector and Cheech have no ofrendas because their family doesn’t remember them, causing them to live in poverty while De la Cruz lives in luxury along with the other famous Mexicans like El Santo, Pedro Infante, etc.
Yet they neglected to show Chespirito
I thought that was obvious
@@ricardolainez395 they showed cantinflas instead
Missed win: Dante is introduced next to the table holding all the models of alebrijes
Another one would be when Mamá Imelda was singing on stage, she said "No dejare de quererte (I won't stop loving you)" towards Héctor, and that was just really adorable tbh.
Another clever thing they did with Dante's name. Dante's Inferno was the classical epic about a man named Dante who was guided through the afterlife-- albeit, a really BAD afterlife, he went through the layers of Hell. Dante the Spirit Dog guides someone else through the afterlife!!!
Oh wow true
Dante’s Inferno is actually only a third of the total “Divine Comedy.” Dante travels through hell, purgatory, and finally heaven over all three parts.
Also De la Cruz's horse shown in his movies clips is named "Dante", Miguel named the dog the same out of sheer fanboying xD.
i never realized that... he's basically virgil
You missed a detail I really like, where De La Cruz started the blessing and the petal didn't glow showing that he wasn't actually Miguel's family
Or at least didn't mention it. I found it really clever though!
irisheyes794 It could be put down to their being interrupted so soon after he said "I give you my blessing", but that's absolutely true. Also, Delacruz really did think Miguel was his great great grandson...(which says something about his, er, habits while alive) so Hector interrupting right then delayed Delacruz finding out the truth as well as Miguel.
I had actually wondered that since the person in the photo was actually Hector and not Ernesto. Nice touch!
My grandmother’s father walked out on her, which left her with a lot of depression. This affected my father, obviously. I think I have a lot more empathy for Elena, as she grew up watching her mother depressed due to her father walking out on her
Something funny about Hector is how you can notice throughout the movie how he acts sort of like a father to Miguel. Like when they were down in the cave and Hector was comforting him, or how Hector was reassuring him before he sang Un Poco Loco. It was Hector's fatherly instincts showing. I noticed it the first time I watched Coco back when it first came out, but never really thought about it till the end of the movie when it was revealed Hector was Coco's father. Nice details!
I like to add a win because when mama Coco greets Miguel at the beginning saying "How are you Julio?" the name Julio is referring to papá Julio, who was Coco's husband, something rather common in people suffering from dementia.
This meaning Pixar not only did its research on mexican culture, guitar playing, shoe making; but also did its research on patients with dementia or Alzheimer's and I love that
I actually had a great great grandmother who had Alzheimer’s. I feel like I should tell my story.
My great great grandmother actually fought in World War II. He died in a Japanese Air Raid, sacrificing himself for a fellow soldier. He shoved him out of the way. Then... BOOM! Dead. My great great grandmother never remarried, remaining for the love of her life. She raised my grandmother and grandaunt with her family.
My great great grandfather’s daughter in law (my dear grandmother) cursed that soldier who her father in law saved; for his own life. Generations later, I was born. But my great great grandmother was suffering from Alzheimer’s. One time, I was bringing some food for her. And she started groaning. She said: “Ugh, wag ngayon Philo! Pasyensya... Yon yung asawa ko... Yinayakap pa niya ako...” There was no one in the room but us.
My grandmother didn't have Alzheimer's but she did have Parkinson's, which eventually lead to somewhat similar memory issues down the line. So this movie definitely hit me on a certain level.
Ugh, my heart!!! I hadn't noticed this!
nobody in my family has alzheimer’s or anything like that but my dad suffered with kidney and liver problems which caused him a lot of pain and drained him mentally and physically but he still went on walks around state gardens with us and to the beach. He died recently and i’d been watching this film because it gives me comfort that his soul is still going on somewhere and the idea that, like coco and hector, that when she died she met with him after being without him for so long.
Day of the dead isn’t apart of my culture like bc im british but it’s still quite comforting
no more shoe puns or you're getting the boot!
Crow the mad oh dear
Should we really shoehorn in another joke
Lol
Anytime
No-one gets a kick out of shoe puns
This is my comfort movie
Edit: I also love coming to this video and reading all the comments with people's stories and memories of loved ones, it's comforting
Something I love is how throughout the movie Dante is guiding Miguel to Hector. When Miguel is running away from his Family, he follows Dante into the area where Hector is being processed by the cop. When he is abandoning Hector after the contest, Dante tries to get Miguel to go back to him, tugging on his jacket. All this culminates in the reveal that yes, Dante was a Spirit Guide, guiding Miguel to the person he SHOULD be searching for, instead of the fake idol is trying to get to.

I really have to give Pixar credit for the plot-twist. Not once in any of the promos was there any hint of Ernesto's evil. His entire portrayal is another typical 'believe in yourself' mentor that you see in so many Pixar/Disney movies. It's a huge expectation subversion that a character like him was actually the bad guy and there are sacrifices to 'seizing your moment'.
Usually in these kind of movies, the disapproving family are either proved wrong, or the protagonist realises that their dream isn't everything they thought it was. I really like the fact that this movie emphasises family without having Miguel give up his dream to choose them - He just realises that what's really important about music is it's emotional, unifying power, not fame.
Ernesto was ( to me, at least. ) a Obvious red herring.
I only saw this movie two days ago, and I didn't expect him to be the bad guy, I grew to love Hector as a character and was happy with him for who he was as this nice companionship, but when it's reveal he's Miguel's great great grandfather it just scalated to another level.
Yeah...but think about Up. Same villain. They probably shoulda done something different with him cos it was kinda predictable but I’m 21 with a mind of a 7 year old so i didn’t see it coming. I’m sure most kids didn’t.
I think it brought up the questions "Do the ends justify the means?" No. They do not. Sure, seize the day, but don't throw anyone under the bus for it.
I love that at the end, Hector "takes" the guitar like the offerings on graves and immediately starts playing it. Implying to me at least that while the guitar isn't an offering; the song itself is.
One small bit of foreshadowing you missed that I love: When Imelda gives her blessing to Miguel, the petal starts glowing. When Ernesto starts to give his, the petal doesn't glow. A nice hint that they're not actually related.
11:23 Dante did kinda save Miguel. Slowed him down enough for the other to catch him.
11:15 😉
That's what I thought! Teamwork makes the dream work. 😀
I like how you mistakingly put Ernesto's death instead
@@Divinegoldenlight actually Execution not death he is still alive but trapped in a bell
Also that nearing the end if the movie, Miguel starts calling Hector 'Papa Hector' and Hector goes from calling Miguel 'chimaco/kid' to calling him 'mijo/son' 😭
I think "mijo" can also be loosely translated to, "my boy." Still a sweet sentiment though.
I laughed hard here because mijo in portuguese is... well... "pee"
PrettyInInk x its not mijo... thats just how its pronounced. Its mi hijo. If you were being articulate, thats pronounced mee- eejo
@@spectralight8412 Mijo is the short way to say " Mi hijo" = My Son.
i.e Tell me, my son = Dime Mijo.
Oiga Mijo = Listen Son.
also hector's gold tooth matches the gold tooth on the guitar. The second he appeared on screen I knew he was the musician in the photo.
I usually don’t cry during movies but that ending was just heartwarming.
Personally I feel like the emotion in Hector’s voice when Hector says “he’s a living child Ernesto” should’ve gotten a win point
God, yes… 10:58 Gael delivered that line *perfectly.*
@@levi_ackerman_119 Thank you for the time stamp and both of y'all are absolutely right holy crap that delivery!!!
This is very off topic but your name made me laugh very loudly
This movie was a masterpiece. I've never been hit harder by a movie than I was by Coco. I may have still been wiping away the odd tear 10 minutes after the film ended.
I share every single word of yours!!! 😭😍💜
This movie broke the Chinese Ratings rules on spirituality, but the censors didn't have the heart to ban it. Such respect for this film
sometimes i think about The Scene randomly and start bursting into tears
completely agreed
This is my top 1 "cry my eyes out" movie
Second is a japanese movie called "Children who chase lost voice"
Watch it
My words exactly! Coco is now my favorite Pixar movie, and also probably my fourth favorite Disney or Pixar movie of all time!
i’d like to mention the wholesome and innocent shine in his eyes at 3:12! it shows that he has no idea what his idol did to get there
I love that her lullaby brought Coco back. It reminds me of when I was in high school and we showed my piano to my grandma on my father’s side. No one told me she used to be in theater and that she could play. I was shocked when she sat down and immediately touched the keys. She didn’t play anything, but I could tell her fingers were comfortable on the keys and that she missed playing. It was the most amazing thing I’d ever seen. When she passed, she left me all her old hat pins, her fox stole, and anything else she thought I could use for costuming. It always reminds me that someone else in the family was an actress and a musician too.
Just gonna say, look at it from Mama Coco's viewpoint.
At this point your memory is degrading, you're barely remembering things and and you think there's someone there that you've lost, but he's gone from your life and your memory.
You can't even remember your own daughter who must be heartbroken as well, but then your dad.
Mama coco loved her dad so much and vice versa, but he never came back. And your mother who before this loved music, but then abandoned it.
But then, you hear a song and it suddenly sparks something and you find yourself getting a better grasp on reality and suddenly find your Great Grandson with a guitar, and you just sing along to the shock of everyone else.
People say Hector or Imelda are great, but in my opinion coco is even more tragic, she's cursed with longevity and it's ultimately a game of chance that brings the life back into your eyes.
i felt very sad for Coco till the end but reunion then made it up
Little details I noticed in the movie!
1. Hector tells Miguel to spin subtly in Un Poco Loco by spinning his finger around.
2. Both Hector and his guitar have a yellow/golden tooth.
3. Ernesto and Hector are different in the ways they regard Miguel as family. The first thing Ernesto does is show him off to the crowd, because having family is such an important thing, especially when they turn out to be similar to you. With Hector it's warmer and more heartfelt. Plus, Ernesto is more formal with it, calling Miguel 'My boy,' while Hector calls him 'Mijo'.
4. Another Ernesto/Hector difference is their take on Remember Me. Hector's was more reserved and meaningful, sung in the daylight of his daughter's room, while Ernesto's take on it was reduced to something flirtatious, showy, and overly bombastic.
5. Un Poco Loco was written for Imelda, kinda obvious.
6. Ernesto was planning on killing Hector all along. Think about it, where would Ernesto get poison so quickly? All we see him do is pour a drink, and even then, he was in front of the table so it was hard to see.
The movie just gets sadder when you realize Mama Coco hid Hector's piece of the photo because she was waiting for the day they would finally add him to the ofrenda.
I think that's it, of you have any please let me know, if I was incorrect about some don't be afraid to tell me!
Aqua Purificotta Imelda made shoes for Hector in the one year later because he has shoes now.
Olivia Hulstine AAAAAAAAA I'm just now realizing that!! Thank you!!
'Mijo' actually means my boy . . . . .
But yeah. There were a lot of subtle things that really made a HUGE difference.
Artisan Noteworthy It does? I thought it was based off of Mi hijo, which I think believes my son, but I could be wrong.
Think of Ernesto’s feature part in the movie. The “Sunrise” Spectacular. And the movie was basically a race against time with the sun.
That’s another little detail.
I love rewatching this movie over and over again! Catching new things and seeing all the missed wins and things everyone noticed is just so incredible. Personally I noticed a few as well:
•Ernesto has f’s on his chin which in music mean forte or loud and he is literally and figuratively loud. Figuratively especially because of his obnoxious and selfish way of singing remember me while Hector’s was soft and comforting
•Frida actually using the tunes Miguel came up with when opening the show
•The insane amount of detail on everything -Hector’s bones being more worn down in color and texture then Miguel’s
I’ll add to the list if if remember any more, but you guys had mostly the same observations I did! Such an underrated, beautiful, timeless movie 🧡🎵
I’m gonna be honest, I had low expectations for Coco, but all of those expectations fell away at the very start
Pixar movies do that sometimes
@@jlark2077 *cough cough* soul
I watched it for the first of many times this year. I thought it was just another goofy Pixar movie, I was so wrong. Now it's my favourite Pixar movie.
Another win should've been awarded for Imelda calling the computer a 'devil box'. She isn't used to that sort of technology so of course she hates it and thinks of it as nothing but lies. Classic grandma.
“Because of course a shoemaker would use a sandal as a revolver”
*laughs in every race except white*
sunstone He probably meant Anglo-Saxon or something like that because there's actually quite a few Southern and Eastern European cultures who have the shoe as a weapon thing. I know Greeks do it as well from personal experience lol.
Americans go for the sandal too
Asians: *Laughs in clothes hanger*
I’m Italian, been afraid of sandals all my life
You have to admit, it's safer than using stilettos as stilettos.
A good win not mentioned is how Ernesto’s whole “seize your moment” line is twisted into something far more sinister in the end
Finally a movie I watched that everyone likes. This was one of those movies where O would watch it over and over again. Especially since I remember watching this the first time and crying near the end like they actually did good!
ive rewatched this movie within a week of watching it for the first time... and now im addicted to the soundtrack
this reminded me of another win. the fact that in "La Llorona" Imelda is so good at singing and after some hesitation totally throws herself into it shows how much she missed music and how painful it was for her to give it up. she and Hector probably both adored music but after he left it just reminded her of his betrayal too much
A major win that further shows how much research was put into this movie; Miguel playing Remember Me for Coco which clears her mind. It's not just "Disney magic", music therapy is known help elderly people with dementia! Listening to songs they have a deep emotional connection with can temporarily improve their cognitive abilities, as well as make them less withdrawn (there are nursery home experiments filmed). If Miguel kept playing regularly then Coco would have been able to bond better with her family before passing away.
I work in a Nursing Home, and i can confirm this. We have a dementia wing, at times when Music is being played the residents in the Dementia wing seem to be more aware then usual.
Me and my sister went to see this movie when we were going through a tough point of our lives, and we needed a reprieve from it all. Figured “Hey let’s go see that new Pixar movie! I’m sure that will cheer us up!”
That’s the story of how we went to see Coco less than a month after our grandmother died of Alzheimer’s disease.
one of my favorite wins was the progression of the "blessings". the first few were constrictive, unfair and controlling with the no music stipulation. Near the end it becomes "Never forget how much your family loves you" which seems very sweet and shows that Imelda has learned something but then the blessing that they are able to actually give was with "no conditions" which is really the most genuine form of love. They love him, regardless.
1 detail u missed: At the beginning, Hector doesn't have shoes. But when he's welcomed back into the family he now owns shoes!
Its hector
@@princezuko9430 sorry ill fix it
@@princezuko9430 Its fixed now :)
Yeah, and Héctor also has non-ripped clothes as well.
How about the clear sign that the Guitar actually belongs to Hector!? It took me a while to notice (after the reveal) but he has the one gold tooth like the head of the guitar! Crazy in-your-face foreshadowing that is still so subtle. Also prevents the "cheating" twist from out of no where when you have something like that to fall back on.
oh my god I didn't even notice, good catch man!
Holy shi-
woah
@TashaGlam1 you can also tell that ernesto isnt miguel's family because of the petal not glowing when he was about to send him back to the living
Can we also just talk about the scene in 9:36 where de la Cruz is staring at Miguel like *that* ?? This gave me chills when I first watched it and it still does! He just looks so terrifying in that moment istg 😳😳
I loved this movie when I saw it, I originally was playing guitar before I saw this movie, but stopped and never played again, but after this I’ve been playing everyday for a year! I hope one day to become the next Clint Black.
Ernesto even named his movie, where he got poisoned 'El camino a casa' which means 'The way home'
I just noticed the second time watching the movie.
This movie is a masterpiece. They really cared about it.
Que dice ahí no se ingles
Alo estoy volao
thentre Q Ernesto incluso nombró su película, donde fue envenenado 'El camino a casa' que significa 'El camino a casa'.
Me di cuenta de la segunda vez que veía la película.
Esta película es una obra maestra. Realmente les importaba.
I'm surprised you didn't mention this. My favorite thing about the animation in this film is the consistency of Miguel's character trait of having one dimple. If you look at Miguel through out the movie, when he's talking, smiling, or frowning, you can see that he always has a noticeable dimple on his left cheek. That is a very small detail that would be easy to forget at some point in the movie, but it stays consistent and I was very impressed and happy about that. It's little unique details like that that makes his character design stand out, and character design is one of the most important things in an animated series.
Wow, awesome!
Well they likely only use one facial rig for Miguel so the dimple would be consistent
Fun Fact: Dimples are actually a deformity from inbreeding thousands of years ago. However, the consistency is stunning
I cried the first time I saw the scene on the marigold bridge. The moment the music swells, to perfectly match with Miguel’s (and ours) first look at the city of the dead, I got so emotional because it’s just one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I love this video and movie so much, thank you for recognizing it!!
One of my favorite parts:
When Miguel is talking to Skeleton Frida Kahlo, the brass band in the background laughs at some of the things Miguel says. The trombonist laughs into his instrument, and that cracks me up (as a trombone player myself.)
Something small but I never noticed the mom is pregnant all throughout the movie, but at the end she's thinner because boom, had the baby
You would think it was common sense but I didn't even think about it lol
Yeah, until I got it pointed out, I didn't even notice she was pregnant for most of the movie
I noticed it the first time I watched it.
