I cried lol, but I also see big plot holes in this movie, but I still love it, and it's cool to see Mexicans in a Disney. Also I like The Book of Life WAY better, it gets The Day of The Dead perfectly
I don’t know anyone who was ready for this movie the first time. Now, even though I’ve seen it half a dozen times or more, i only need the first line of Miguel singing Remember Me to Mama Coco to make me start sobbing. Gets me every time.
*SPOILER AHEAD* that gets me is that throught out the entire movie Hector is the only character without shoes but then in the end when you see them walk over the bridge and he has shoes.🥺
27:16 I just learned recently that Hector's voice actor actually bring his real daughter to the studio to sing this part with him. Making this moment even more touching.
So thing about the whole leaving situation is that Hector DID leave with Ernesto, but on the road realized that this life wasn't what he wanted he wanted to be with his family so he decided to go back to them. That's when Ernesto poisoned him and then it seemed that Hector left and just never returned as they probably didn't get the news of his death
Not only did they not get the news of his death but since he was not cratered too. So to them a person of the family left for his passion and didn't even succeed.
Uhhmm, he didn't leave-leave? It was like a father who was too poor and has to work on a far away place so he could provide for his family. He only left temporarily with the intention of coming back. He missed coco so much that we wished to come back earlier than planned. With his love for his daughter, I don't think he has the guts to leave his daughter for good.
This movie literally means the world to me. Not long after my mum passed in 2018 I met my then girlfriend (now my wife) who is Mexican. This was the first movie that we watched together and it made me cry because all I could think of was my mum's passing. She was so sweet to me and cuddled me. Then she said if I had a picture of my mum so she could put it on her ofrenda so she could honour her on Día de Muertos (which was only a week away from when we watched the movie). I just melted that she would want to do that. Now that we are married, we always make up our own ofrenda every year and celebrate Día de Muertos. It's a beautiful tradition that we happily celebrate every year together and watch Coco In a way this movie brought us closer together in our early stages of our relationship and I don't know what I'd ever do without the love of my life by my side, and for all that, this movie will always have a special place in my heart
Looking back on everything Hector said before the reveal, it all makes even more sense: His disdain for remember me comes from the fact that a song he wrote for his daughter got turned into a Mexican pop song, and he's all on board with Un Poco Loco because that's actually a song he wrote as a crowd pleaser.
i already realized him being the real ancestor. The fact that he wants go back, that no one remembers him and that he can play music was enough for me to realize.
@@CastleOfAvalondid u also notice that when Imelda gives Miguel her blessing, the petal lights up, signifying that the magic is working. But when Ernesto starts to give Miguel his blessing, the petal doesn’t light up because they’re not family. If Ernesto hadn’t been interrupted, he and Miguel would’ve found out they weren’t related and that’s how we all would’ve found out. But ur smart!
And then theres the gold tooth on the guitar, I still find it hard to believe that I didn’t catch the reveal watching it the first time. It was so well built.
Gotta love how well they set up getting Hectors blessing. First, Miguel said he came for his great great grandfathers blessing, no one else's. Which turned out to be Hector. Second, the blessing had to be with no conditions. Because that's what familial love is supposed to be. Unconditional.
This is definitely one of Pixar’s best films. It’s very gorgeous, very heartwarming and very emotional. I watched this film for the first time in my Spanish class back in my freshman year in high school and I actually cried at the ending in front of the students and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
I know Remember Me got the Oscar and the scene at the end where Miguel sings it to Coco is an S-tier Pixar moment, but in all honesty my favorite song on the soundtrack is Proud Corazon. What a fantastic way to end a film.
I’m not sure where people keep getting the idea that Hectór wasn’t originally planning on coming back home? I guess it’s cause it wasn’t mentioned directly in the movie, but in the canon novelization it’s specified that he joined Ernesto on tour in the hopes of getting extra money for his family. It was always meant to be temporary. He was sending money to Imelda the whole time, so while I’m sure neither of them were psyched that he was away so often, it wasn’t like he tried to ditch her for an undetermined amount of time and then had a change of heart. It was basically a business trip. No one expects to get murdered in the middle of their work trips lol. Of course, I still get why Imelda reacted the way she did; even if she logically realized it wasn’t his fault he got killed, emotionally she’s still dealing with the hurt and betrayal of believing her husband left her to raise her family alone for basically a century. She needed time to process the sudden new information. And considering it was probably a couple hours at most between her hearing the truth and her jumping into Hectór’s arms after La Llorona, well… that quick of a turn around further supports the canon to me. She just had to warm up to him again :)
I don’t think you really understood what happened. Hector DID leave his family. He left and was on the road performing with DeLaCruz. He was gone for months and wrote letters to his daughter. He left against Imelda’s wishes. He left her alone with a child to raise by herself. Keep in mind that it was also not common in those days for women to work. They were mostly stay at home moms. So Imelda had to figure out how to make money, and she chose making shoes. It wasn’t until Hector decided to go home (after being away and on the road for a very long time) that DeLaCruz murdered him, took his guitar and his songs.
Huh? I was under the impression that he always had the intention of coming back. Coco kept her father's letters while he was away, which means that before Hector's death, he and Imelda were in good terms because if they're not, how would young Coco get hold of those letters. Surely mama Imelda would intercept them and would never let Coco have those letters.
@@azulablue6988 Just because Imelda let Coco see and keep the letters does not mean they were on good terms. It just means that she was not going to get in between Coco have a connection with her father. It probably helped to calm her down whenever she cried for him. She was very young after all. And as for Hector coming back. It’s not indicated when he said that to Imelda or how long he planned on being on the road. From Imelda’s perspective, he left to go follow his dream; and she stayed home and had to learn a profession in order to provide for herself and her daughter. Clearly Hector wasn’t sending money back home, or if he was, it suddenly stopped and Imelda didn’t know why. He still left his family. Period.
@@azulablue6988 If they were on good terms or in contact while he was gone, they would have questions a sudden stop of news or notified about his death.
@@nowthatisawesome5431 not necessarily good terms. She didn't like Hector to go, but she didn't wanted to deny Coco hey father. Then the letters stop coming and there was no news from Hector. It might have passed a couple of years more for Ernesto to became generally known, so the connection didn't exist.
"Poor Ernando." (Meaning Ernesto) Me: "Sure, you say that NOW...." Some fun facts: "Ernesto's"guitar has a gold tooth, because of course Hector would personalize his own guitar. Hector complains about musicians being "self important jerks", showing his bitterness towards De La Cruz(I always thought he was going to leave partially because of Ernesto's ego), but possibly towards himself as well for abandoning his family(remember that he said he hadn't played music for years until he did to his friend Chiccaron(the one dying "the second death".) After Chiccaron dies, Hector drinks one of the glasses, leaving the other full, hinting at his real death, from poisoning. Glad you noticed that about "Remember Me". That's also the reason Hector doesn't want Miguel singing it...it was a personal song between him and his daughter. Hector tries to stop Miguel when he finds the truth about his plans, largely because Hector went down that path before, abandoning his family for the sake of his "stupid musical fantasy". He doesn't want Miguel to end up like him. When Ernesto prepares to bless Miguel, the leaf doesn't glow(hinting he's not truly related to Miguel). Word of God is that Ernesto will never die the second death(his infamy will keep him alive forever). However, since his deception and evil acts are now revealed, he will never have the fame and love from the people in the real world or the land of the dead, which is what he killed to get. Hector doesn't wear shoes throughout the film, until the end when he's taken back by the family.
I always love to see videos of people reaction to Coco and explain a little bit about our culture so here we go: - Ernesto de la Cruz is inspired by two great musicians/actors from the mexican golden age of cinema: Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete - Dia de los muertos is November 2 but on November 1 we celebrate and honor all the children - At Ernesto's party you can see cameos of famous mexican celebrities from the mexican golden age of cinema: Cantinflas, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, El Santo, Maria Felix - Frida Kahlo is a well known painter - Dante is a xoloitzcuintli which is believe that this breed of dog will help us cross the river to the other side after we die, it all depends how well you treat dogs during you life. It is said that the spots on the xoloitzcuintli are how many souls they have help -No, the songs played in the movie are not famous songs, they are now because of the movie though , except for La Llorona that's a well known folklore song. -Before Coco, the celebration of day of the dead was much celebrated on the south of the country, because here on the north we celebrate halloween better, but after Coco now day of the dead is equally celebrated in the north and south -This movies is the highest grossing movie IN THE HISTORY OF MEXICO. - The next year after the movie came out, it was played once again in cinemas in Mexico.
The first time I saw this movie and heard "Remember Me" I was like "Oh, this is the song that will make me cry later". I was right. I ugly cried 3 times.
One last thing: during the movie, Hector is barefoot, to show how he's been rejected from the family. In the end, he's wearing a new pair of shoes to show he's been welcomed back.
little detail at 13:13 i never noticed-when miguel is totally focused on the idea of being like ernesto, he’s folding the picture on coco’s face and imelda is totally bent out of view. kind of symbolism for what following in ernesto’s footsteps would actually mean.
Ernesto used Remember Me for about only himself... Hector wrote it for daughter and to remind her how much he loved her... If you notice during the movie, Hector has NO shoes. But after Miguel gets Coco to remember him, and the Rivera family accepts him, the movie ends with him wearing shoes. Indicating that they made him shoes, or maybe Miguel did, thereby accepting him into their family. Such a simple but huge heartfelt gesture. I absolutely love this movie.
Awww, I've watched this movie several times and seen a lot of reactions and I think this is the first I've been made aware about the shoes, so thank you for commenting this! That's such a sweet, emotional detail! 🙏♥️😭
Here's what happened with Hector: He started off touring, but eventually he hated being away so much. So he decided to leave. But then Ernesto killed him, and no one ever knew the truth.
I think that part where they showed us the original version of "Remember Me" also got me so mad when I watched it in the cinema. The fact that Ernesto turned what was a beautiful lullaby for Hector's daughter into a love song was incredibly disrespectful. It just doubles down on what a bastard Ernesto really was.
My home village is 15 mins away from where the white guitar was based on and you’ll see that guitar almost in every corner, I did get some souvenirs of the guitar for my family after watching the movie, and that village is well know throughout Mexico for their guitars they make.
I've seen this movie like 20 times, I always say, "I've seen this before, I'll be fine". Nope, gets me every single time lmao, especially when Miguel sings to Coco in the end
Thank you for reacting to Coco! This movie means a lot to me. I lost my mother a few months before this movie came out, so when I saw it in theaters, I balled like a baby. But this movie gave me so much comfort at the same, and hope if that makes sense. It is a beautiful movie with a beautiful message and it's become one of my favorite movies.
To be honest, learning to make shoes was actually a very smart business shoes. People will always need shoes, so her business will have a lot of trouble going under during tough times.
Want to cry again? Just imagine all the people who died, and arrived in the Land of the Dead only to find that they were the last person to remember some beloved relative, meaning said relative had _just that moment_ experienced their Final Death.
Coco is the best movie i ever watch,at first i want to watch penguin Madagascar but i late so i have to wait 3 hours,so i watch coco in meantime,best decision i ever had
I mean, he did leave his wife and infant daughter to go play music and try to become famous, he was planning to come back, but he got killed by Ernesto. this was all way back, so in her eyes he just left to find his fortune and never came back. and when she found out, she was still pissed because she was still left alone to take care of their baby at home, while he went to try follow the dream they *both* had.
i love your reaction to the part with Frida Kahlo. I love how people react to her "stange imagination", i studied art so for me...it's not so strange after all XD
This movie came out a month after my grandma passed away and on my other grandma’s 5th year since her passing so I was balling my eyes out when I watched it 😞
Great review btw. I also wanted to mention that if you pay attention Dante knows Hector is his gear great grandfather, he pulls Miguel back towards him but Miguel’s yells at Dante calling him a stupid dog, when in fact Dante is a spirit guide.
26:45 she didn't. If you remember, Miguel only called him his great great grandfather in front of them, and he's been running from them ever since. Hector assumed Miguel was telling the truth. And Abuela most likely didn't know because of her mother's determination to get rid of all memory of him in the family.
I honestly think the Abuela planted a listening device in Miguel's shoes (where else in this family?) otherwise, how else would she know that Miguel was going to play the Mariachi player's guitar?
Watched this movie enough times that it only takes Miguel saying "Mama Coco" to kill me. Also, love the accuracy in how everyone fears the chancla of an angry Latina.
Sophie, I don't think any of us were quite ready for "Coco". Glad you enjoyed it. P.S. In case no one has told you yet, "Un Poco Loco" means 'a little crazy' in Spanish. When you learn exactly who Hector is in relation to Miguel, it becomes clear that he wrote this song about Imelda.
this and Soul are my two favorite Pixar movies. They are so deep, meaningful and beautiful movies to watch. stay awesome Sophie!! Love your videos!!❤🫂☮
I love my culture. This movie was so apreciated in México because frame very purely all the aspects of our tradition Dia de Muertos (by first time). The visits to the movie theaters where overwhelming and mama Coco was the caracterization of a real granny the director meet in Michoacan.
This movie wrecked me HARD. I love this movie, but I don't like to watch it because I cry my eyes out every single time. On a happier note, I'd like to tell you a couple of things about the huge impact this movie had here in México: De la Cruz's guitar was actually designed in a mexican town called Paracho, famous for their guitars. Paracho had a huge guitar monument in the town plaza, and they painted it over to resemble De la Cruz's guitar. I believe the monument still looks like that today. Recuérdame (AKA, Remember Me) played on the radio for YEARS. Probably still plays every now and then. It was also played last Día de Muertos where I live, alongside other all-time classics like La Llorona. At this point, I'm willing to bet that Recuérdame will become a mainstay part of Día de los Muertos celebrations moving foward.
“How can you confuse who your husband was” Mama Imelda and all the family in the land of the dead never actually said Hectors name in referencing Imelda’s husband. Miguel’s living family probably only accepted Miguel thinking Ernesto as great grandpa because along with banishing music I can see Imelda telling everyone to never say his name again
I would say they probably didn't even know his name, considering Imelda never referred to him by name, and Coco only called him Papa. In fact Coco might never have known either, considering how young she was. At that age, she was probably still in the stage of thinking her papa's name was just that: Papa. She might have asked Imelda as she grew older, but I could see Imelda just refusing to talk about him at all beyond telling her he left them in his selfish dream of becoming a musician. Since Coco and Imelda were the only members of the family who personally knew Hector before he died, the rest of the family probably never knew his name at all.
"Why does everyone think De La Cruz is the grandfather? How do you confuse who your husband is?" See, that's actually what gave it away for me. Miguel was WAY too sure about it WAY too early, and they were being WAY too careful not to show the great-great-grandfather's face or have anyone say his name who remembered him. No one left alive except Coco remembers him, and on the other side, he doesn’t say the name to any of his family members. And they all refer to him as "That man" or "That musician" or "my husband" or in Coco's case, Papa. So that made me sure that it wasn't De La Cruz, and there was really only one other major character who was both male and dead. Lol
They didn’t say his name because either they wanted nothing to do with him, or because Coco didn’t dare tell them who he was or she would get in trouble with her family.
@ju2545 Yes, I understand that's the reason the characters didn't say the name. But the fact that the writers were very careful not to say the name is still the basis for the thought process by which I predicted the twist. I would rather not have, but it's something I've become very conscious of in stories: when a character jumps to a conclusion based on a little bit of evidence that isn't actually proof early on, and there continues to be no actual confirmation... like when he asked Coco "was your papá Ernesto De la Cruz?" And she just pointed and said "Papá! Papá!" I was immediately like "... That wasn't a yes..."
@@kateiannacone2698 did u also notice that when Imelda gives Miguel her blessing, the petal glows, signifying that the magic is working, because they’re family. But when Ernesto gives Miguel his blessing, it doesn’t glow, signifying that they’re not actually family. And Mama Coco didn’t say “yes” because she’s old and has trouble remembering things and you can’t expect her to give Miguel full responses to his questions. She just saw the pic and recognized her papa
@ju2545 I did notice the petal, and it supported what I was already thinking. Yes, there are in-universe explanations for the things I noticed and they make perfect sense and I understand that. But it's a storytelling pattern that I noticed and let me predict the twist. I don't know what to tell you. It's not a bad thing. It's good foreshadowing, and excellent writing that there's good in-story reasons for all of it so it doesn't seem forced. I just noticed the pattern is all.
If you enjoyed this, also check out "The Book of Life" (2014). It's not Pixar but I feel that you'll like it. Nice reaction! Also check out "Wreck-it Ralph", its sequel and also "Kubo and the Two Strings" for more great animations.
"There's nothing to forgive." I disagree. Hector made the choice to leave her alone with a baby so that he could go pursue his dream, and he was on the road with Ernesto for months before he was murdered. He said as much. And when he tried to go home, it wasn't because it was planned. It was because he got homesick. So while it's not his fault he got murdered, he still made the choice to leave her and Coco behind for an extended period of time, possibly indefinitely. So while I feel for Hector, and I do think that banishing music from the family for 5 generations is a huge overreaction, I also feel for Imelda and think her anger is valid. Because even though he changed his mind in the end and tried to come home, he still made a choice and it hurt her. Intentions are all well and good, but the effect matters too. And holding on to that anger for 80 years, even being told about the murder and that it wasn’t his fault that he didn't make it home doesn’t undo the pain of abandonment that she felt, or the pressure of having to raise a child alone, or that he just dumped that responsibility on her so he could go pursue his personal dream. And how many people hear an explanation for a behavior that hurt them and instantly stop feeling angry? She needs time to process it. I feel for Hector. He's a good guy who made a mistake that cost him everything. But Imelda is valid too.
the way they show thee song at first as big an flashy an then how everyone does it then brings it to personal level just crushes, imagine Hector hearing constant reminder of his daughter from everyone
I remember watching this on theater without any knowledge on this movie..after the movie, i cant stop thinking on the last scene where miguel sing the song to coco
Mi y mi famila fuiste mirando este en el cuarto de mi padres y cuando Miguel empezó a cantar recuérdame a la abuela de miguel mi y mi papa empezaron llorar.
Brought to you by Pixar starring Miguel who is the son of a family who are shoemakers. Believing that he is a descendant of a famous guitarist. Stealing a guitar from the shrine he became cursed
I gotta say, you and your channel has really emotionally resonated with me. I always look forward to your movie watching every Saturday and your reactions and thoughts are great! Keep it up! (and also you should watch Soul one day haha)
I was sitting here eating my food wondering what to watch and I was blessed with this in my recommended 😌 Can you react to “Meet the Robinsons”? It’s a Disney movie with a great message and so unfairly underrated. Not many people react to it but I would love to see your reaction to it💕
She is a very well known Latina Entertainer. I am just assuming it’s an inside joke cause my roommate from D.R laughed hard at her scenes. Cause of course it’s always her face, her face everywhere.
During the reserch trips where the Pixar staff spent time with mexican families during La Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), director Lee Unkrich noticed a family's dog who constantily tried to sneak to their Ofrenda to munch on a cupcake, that inspired Dante eating the food at the offering in the movie.
Did you see this detail: when Miguel was stealing the guitar if you look at the teeth you notice one is gold and Hector had one gold tooth. It makes senses the guitar belongs to Hector.
I really enjoyed this Disney movie & can unfortunately relate with Miguel & his family with what they were going through with Coco one of my grandmas my dad's mom actually started having the same memory problems that coco was having in her old age & eventually it killed her unfortunately
I loved this movie with all my heart every moment of it the colors and animation are all so beautiful and the twists were in my opinion really were shocking
I’ve never cried watching a movie before, except for when I watched Coco. It wasn’t at the part where he’s singing to her, it was the part when it cuts to Mama Coco with her parents towards the end 😅
I found your channel about two weeks ago and now I have watched almost all of your video lol! I love your sense of humor and your editing and your voice, so thank you for all the fun reactions! I followed you on twitter but I was shy to say it there. Stay strong!
Hey, great reaction! By the way, have you watched The Prince of Egypt? This one holds a VEEEERRRRYYY special place in my heart. In fact, it's one of my favourite movies: astounding and majestic ost, amaaaazziiiing songs, great animation... Regarding the story, I don't know if you know about Moses. Even though this is based on the original religious version, it deepens into the evolution of relationship between brothers, above all. It also transmits beautiful messages, and it doesn't matter if you are religious or not. Besides, it sets a kind of different concept of villain of the story and something that many movies forget: when you discover a harsh truth, you just don't accept it heroically and continue your story through a new path. The most normal thing is to deny it and question your existence Idk how many times. Also, the movie shows what a sacrifice is and making hard choices. This movie made me feel hope, anger towards different characters at some point, and VEEEERRRRYYY sad. Hunchback of Notre Dame is another good one, and if you think the Disney version is dark then Idk what the original story is. Both movies are VEEERRRYY underrated.
Those who didn’t cry have no heart that’s all I’m saying ✌🏻
my mother laughed at me when i cried :v (until i told her it reminded me my grandmother), then she laughed and cried with me :v
I cried lol, but I also see big plot holes in this movie, but I still love it, and it's cool to see Mexicans in a Disney. Also I like The Book of Life WAY better, it gets The Day of The Dead perfectly

Huh? I was under the impression that he always had the intention of coming back. Coco kept her father's letters while he was away, which means that before Hector's death, he and Imelda were in good terms because if they're not, how would young Coco get hold of those letters. Surely mama Imelda would intercept them and would never let Coco have those letters.
@@azulablue6988
Just because Imelda let Coco see and keep the letters does not mean they were on good terms. It just means that she was not going to get in between Coco have a connection with her father. It probably helped to calm her down whenever she cried for him. She was very young after all.
And as for Hector coming back. It’s not indicated when he said that to Imelda or how long he planned on being on the road.
From Imelda’s perspective, he left to go follow his dream; and she stayed home and had to learn a profession in order to provide for herself and her daughter. Clearly Hector wasn’t sending money back home, or if he was, it suddenly stopped and Imelda didn’t know why.
He still left his family. Period.
@@azulablue6988 If they were on good terms or in contact while he was gone, they would have questions a sudden stop of news or notified about his death.
@@nowthatisawesome5431 not necessarily good terms. She didn't like Hector to go, but she didn't wanted to deny Coco hey father. Then the letters stop coming and there was no news from Hector. It might have passed a couple of years more for Ernesto to became generally known, so the connection didn't exist.
"Poor Ernando." (Meaning Ernesto)
Me: "Sure, you say that NOW...."
Some fun facts:
"Ernesto's"guitar has a gold tooth, because of course Hector would personalize his own guitar.
Hector complains about musicians being "self important jerks", showing his bitterness towards De La Cruz(I always thought he was going to leave partially because of Ernesto's ego), but possibly towards himself as well for abandoning his family(remember that he said he hadn't played music for years until he did to his friend Chiccaron(the one dying "the second death".)
After Chiccaron dies, Hector drinks one of the glasses, leaving the other full, hinting at his real death, from poisoning.
Glad you noticed that about "Remember Me". That's also the reason Hector doesn't want Miguel singing it...it was a personal song between him and his daughter.
Hector tries to stop Miguel when he finds the truth about his plans, largely because Hector went down that path before, abandoning his family for the sake of his "stupid musical fantasy". He doesn't want Miguel to end up like him.
When Ernesto prepares to bless Miguel, the leaf doesn't glow(hinting he's not truly related to Miguel).
Word of God is that Ernesto will never die the second death(his infamy will keep him alive forever). However, since his deception and evil acts are now revealed, he will never have the fame and love from the people in the real world or the land of the dead, which is what he killed to get.
Hector doesn't wear shoes throughout the film, until the end when he's taken back by the family.
I always love to see videos of people reaction to Coco and explain a little bit about our culture so here we go:
- Ernesto de la Cruz is inspired by two great musicians/actors from the mexican golden age of cinema: Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete
- Dia de los muertos is November 2 but on November 1 we celebrate and honor all the children
- At Ernesto's party you can see cameos of famous mexican celebrities from the mexican golden age of cinema: Cantinflas, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, El Santo, Maria Felix
- Frida Kahlo is a well known painter
- Dante is a xoloitzcuintli which is believe that this breed of dog will help us cross the river to the other side after we die, it all depends how well you treat dogs during you life. It is said that the spots on the xoloitzcuintli are how many souls they have help
-No, the songs played in the movie are not famous songs, they are now because of the movie though , except for La Llorona that's a well known folklore song.
-Before Coco, the celebration of day of the dead was much celebrated on the south of the country, because here on the north we celebrate halloween better, but after Coco now day of the dead is equally celebrated in the north and south
-This movies is the highest grossing movie IN THE HISTORY OF MEXICO.
- The next year after the movie came out, it was played once again in cinemas in Mexico.
The first time I saw this movie and heard "Remember Me" I was like "Oh, this is the song that will make me cry later".
I was right.
I ugly cried 3 times.
There's nothing to cry about 😂
"I'm not emotionally ready for this"
Coco: Hold my chorizo
PLEAASSEE THIS MADE ME LAUGH WAY HARDER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE
One last thing: during the movie, Hector is barefoot, to show how he's been rejected from the family. In the end, he's wearing a new pair of shoes to show he's been welcomed back.
little detail at 13:13 i never noticed-when miguel is totally focused on the idea of being like ernesto, he’s folding the picture on coco’s face and imelda is totally bent out of view. kind of symbolism for what following in ernesto’s footsteps would actually mean.
Ernesto used Remember Me for about only himself...
Hector wrote it for daughter and to remind her how much he loved her...
If you notice during the movie, Hector has NO shoes. But after Miguel gets Coco to remember him, and the Rivera family accepts him, the movie ends with him wearing shoes. Indicating that they made him shoes, or maybe Miguel did, thereby accepting him into their family. Such a simple but huge heartfelt gesture. I absolutely love this movie.
Awww, I've watched this movie several times and seen a lot of reactions and I think this is the first I've been made aware about the shoes, so thank you for commenting this! That's such a sweet, emotional detail! 🙏♥️😭
Here's what happened with Hector:
He started off touring, but eventually he hated being away so much. So he decided to leave. But then Ernesto killed him, and no one ever knew the truth.
I think that part where they showed us the original version of "Remember Me" also got me so mad when I watched it in the cinema. The fact that Ernesto turned what was a beautiful lullaby for Hector's daughter into a love song was incredibly disrespectful. It just doubles down on what a bastard Ernesto really was.
Yes 👍
To be fair, Ernesto probably didn't know it was for Hector's daughter. But he still stole the song, so . . . he's a bastard either way ig
My home village is 15 mins away from where the white guitar was based on and you’ll see that guitar almost in every corner, I did get some souvenirs of the guitar for my family after watching the movie, and that village is well know throughout Mexico for their guitars they make.
that’s so cool!
Paracho, Michoacán? :3
I've seen this movie like 20 times, I always say, "I've seen this before, I'll be fine".
Nope, gets me every single time lmao, especially when Miguel sings to Coco in the end
Thank you for reacting to Coco! This movie means a lot to me. I lost my mother a few months before this movie came out, so when I saw it in theaters, I balled like a baby. But this movie gave me so much comfort at the same, and hope if that makes sense. It is a beautiful movie with a beautiful message and it's become one of my favorite movies.
I'm so sorry and I hope you never forget😥 her and always keep her photos and love her every day🌹🙏❤
Hector being on the ofrenda was one of the most satisfying moments in animated history.
To be honest, learning to make shoes was actually a very smart business shoes. People will always need shoes, so her business will have a lot of trouble going under during tough times.
The trailers for this movie: A boy has whacky hijinks in the Land of the Dead.
The actual movie: "So, you think the first ten minutes of Up was sad?"
Mexicana aquí, AMO que sigan reaccionando y esta bella película hasta de día de hoy, gracias por tu vídeo, amo tu canal. 🙆🏻♀️🇲🇽🖤
☺☺👍👍saludos paisanita
Esa mi Claudia que pachuca por Toluca 💯
Want to cry again? Just imagine all the people who died, and arrived in the Land of the Dead only to find that they were the last person to remember some beloved relative, meaning said relative had _just that moment_ experienced their Final Death.
Dante's tongue is it's own character.
Seeing her on the ofrenda -- *that* broke me, when I saw it in the theaters.
This film is my absolute favorite Pixar film of all time! I cry every time and I fall in love with every detail every time ❤️
Coco is the best movie i ever watch,at first i want to watch penguin Madagascar but i late so i have to wait 3 hours,so i watch coco in meantime,best decision i ever had
What about Zootopia?
I mean, he did leave his wife and infant daughter to go play music and try to become famous, he was planning to come back, but he got killed by Ernesto. this was all way back, so in her eyes he just left to find his fortune and never came back. and when she found out, she was still pissed because she was still left alone to take care of their baby at home, while he went to try follow the dream they *both* had.
15:05
You reaction to that scene made my day!!😂😂
I have the Same Reaction when I first watch COCO lol
i love your reaction to the part with Frida Kahlo. I love how people react to her "stange imagination", i studied art so for me...it's not so strange after all XD
A fantastic movie!! Still makes me tear up every time I watch it 🥲
This movie came out a month after my grandma passed away and on my other grandma’s 5th year since her passing so I was balling my eyes out when I watched it 😞
Great review btw. I also wanted to mention that if you pay attention Dante knows Hector is his gear great grandfather, he pulls Miguel back towards him but Miguel’s yells at Dante calling him a stupid dog, when in fact Dante is a spirit guide.
26:45 she didn't. If you remember, Miguel only called him his great great grandfather in front of them, and he's been running from them ever since. Hector assumed Miguel was telling the truth. And Abuela most likely didn't know because of her mother's determination to get rid of all memory of him in the family.
I honestly think the Abuela planted a listening device in Miguel's shoes (where else in this family?) otherwise, how else would she know that Miguel was going to play the Mariachi player's guitar?
Watched this movie enough times that it only takes Miguel saying "Mama Coco" to kill me.
Also, love the accuracy in how everyone fears the chancla of an angry Latina.
I believe poco loco means a "little crazy" in Espanol, though I'm super rusty and took it many years ago in high school.
Si, significa eso
U should look up Anthony Gonzales, who plays Miguel. Look up “Anthony Gonzales sings poco loco in an interview” and watch from 1:48-2:02
Your reaction edits are top notch! They really add to the video you're reacting to.
15:00
Me first time: I see that scene same reaction🤨😐
Second time: laughing of nothing🤣😅
Sophie, I don't think any of us were quite ready for "Coco". Glad you enjoyed it.
P.S. In case no one has told you yet, "Un Poco Loco" means 'a little crazy' in Spanish. When you learn exactly who Hector is in relation to Miguel, it becomes clear that he wrote this song about Imelda.
this and Soul are my two favorite Pixar movies. They are so deep, meaningful and beautiful movies to watch. stay awesome Sophie!! Love your videos!!❤🫂☮
I love my culture. This movie was so apreciated in México because frame very purely all the aspects of our tradition Dia de Muertos (by first time). The visits to the movie theaters where overwhelming and mama Coco was the caracterization of a real granny the director meet in Michoacan.
I've watched this film so many times and the ending always makes me cry!
This movie wrecked me HARD. I love this movie, but I don't like to watch it because I cry my eyes out every single time. On a happier note, I'd like to tell you a couple of things about the huge impact this movie had here in México:
De la Cruz's guitar was actually designed in a mexican town called Paracho, famous for their guitars. Paracho had a huge guitar monument in the town plaza, and they painted it over to resemble De la Cruz's guitar. I believe the monument still looks like that today.
Recuérdame (AKA, Remember Me) played on the radio for YEARS. Probably still plays every now and then. It was also played last Día de Muertos where I live, alongside other all-time classics like La Llorona. At this point, I'm willing to bet that Recuérdame will become a mainstay part of Día de los Muertos celebrations moving foward.
“How can you confuse who your husband was” Mama Imelda and all the family in the land of the dead never actually said Hectors name in referencing Imelda’s husband. Miguel’s living family probably only accepted Miguel thinking Ernesto as great grandpa because along with banishing music I can see Imelda telling everyone to never say his name again
I would say they probably didn't even know his name, considering Imelda never referred to him by name, and Coco only called him Papa. In fact Coco might never have known either, considering how young she was. At that age, she was probably still in the stage of thinking her papa's name was just that: Papa. She might have asked Imelda as she grew older, but I could see Imelda just refusing to talk about him at all beyond telling her he left them in his selfish dream of becoming a musician. Since Coco and Imelda were the only members of the family who personally knew Hector before he died, the rest of the family probably never knew his name at all.
"Why does everyone think De La Cruz is the grandfather? How do you confuse who your husband is?"
See, that's actually what gave it away for me. Miguel was WAY too sure about it WAY too early, and they were being WAY too careful not to show the great-great-grandfather's face or have anyone say his name who remembered him. No one left alive except Coco remembers him, and on the other side, he doesn’t say the name to any of his family members. And they all refer to him as "That man" or "That musician" or "my husband" or in Coco's case, Papa. So that made me sure that it wasn't De La Cruz, and there was really only one other major character who was both male and dead. Lol
They didn’t say his name because either they wanted nothing to do with him, or because Coco didn’t dare tell them who he was or she would get in trouble with her family.
@ju2545 Yes, I understand that's the reason the characters didn't say the name. But the fact that the writers were very careful not to say the name is still the basis for the thought process by which I predicted the twist. I would rather not have, but it's something I've become very conscious of in stories: when a character jumps to a conclusion based on a little bit of evidence that isn't actually proof early on, and there continues to be no actual confirmation... like when he asked Coco "was your papá Ernesto De la Cruz?" And she just pointed and said "Papá! Papá!" I was immediately like "... That wasn't a yes..."
@@kateiannacone2698 did u also notice that when Imelda gives Miguel her blessing, the petal glows, signifying that the magic is working, because they’re family. But when Ernesto gives Miguel his blessing, it doesn’t glow, signifying that they’re not actually family. And Mama Coco didn’t say “yes” because she’s old and has trouble remembering things and you can’t expect her to give Miguel full responses to his questions. She just saw the pic and recognized her papa
@ju2545 I did notice the petal, and it supported what I was already thinking. Yes, there are in-universe explanations for the things I noticed and they make perfect sense and I understand that. But it's a storytelling pattern that I noticed and let me predict the twist. I don't know what to tell you. It's not a bad thing. It's good foreshadowing, and excellent writing that there's good in-story reasons for all of it so it doesn't seem forced. I just noticed the pattern is all.
Pixar's Coco is a good movie. It won the Best Animated Feature Film Awards 2018.
If you enjoyed this, also check out "The Book of Life" (2014). It's not Pixar but I feel that you'll like it. Nice reaction! Also check out "Wreck-it Ralph", its sequel and also "Kubo and the Two Strings" for more great animations.
The chorizo joke still kills me
"There's nothing to forgive."
I disagree. Hector made the choice to leave her alone with a baby so that he could go pursue his dream, and he was on the road with Ernesto for months before he was murdered. He said as much. And when he tried to go home, it wasn't because it was planned. It was because he got homesick. So while it's not his fault he got murdered, he still made the choice to leave her and Coco behind for an extended period of time, possibly indefinitely. So while I feel for Hector, and I do think that banishing music from the family for 5 generations is a huge overreaction, I also feel for Imelda and think her anger is valid. Because even though he changed his mind in the end and tried to come home, he still made a choice and it hurt her. Intentions are all well and good, but the effect matters too. And holding on to that anger for 80 years, even being told about the murder and that it wasn’t his fault that he didn't make it home doesn’t undo the pain of abandonment that she felt, or the pressure of having to raise a child alone, or that he just dumped that responsibility on her so he could go pursue his personal dream. And how many people hear an explanation for a behavior that hurt them and instantly stop feeling angry? She needs time to process it. I feel for Hector. He's a good guy who made a mistake that cost him everything. But Imelda is valid too.
the way they show thee song at first as big an flashy an then how everyone does it then brings it to personal level just crushes, imagine Hector hearing constant reminder of his daughter from everyone
Coco make me cry like a child 😭
I love your reactions. You get so into these movies.
"Sometimes, I think im cursed."
*"SAME!"*
😂😂
7:43 Can somebody tell me what this clip is from? I keep seeing it in Sophie's videos but can never tell what it is from lmao
I remember watching this on theater without any knowledge on this movie..after the movie, i cant stop thinking on the last scene where miguel sing the song to coco
I cried so much when I watched this movie for the first time. I saw it at the theater with my dad.
Mi y mi famila fuiste mirando este en el cuarto de mi padres y cuando Miguel empezó a cantar recuérdame a la abuela de miguel mi y mi papa empezaron llorar.
This movie almost made me cry I'm excited!!
This movie is so emotional
🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤
I recommend 'The Book of Life', it has the same vibe as Coco but completely different story. It's so good too!
This movie destroys me every time I watch it, and I've seen it several times. It's so well done and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at.
Absolutely beautiful film
Brought to you by Pixar starring Miguel who is the son of a family who are shoemakers. Believing that he is a descendant of a famous guitarist. Stealing a guitar from the shrine he became cursed
I gotta say, you and your channel has really emotionally resonated with me. I always look forward to your movie watching every Saturday and your reactions and thoughts are great! Keep it up!
(and also you should watch Soul one day haha)
i always crying watching coco
I was sitting here eating my food wondering what to watch and I was blessed with this in my recommended 😌
Can you react to “Meet the Robinsons”? It’s a Disney movie with a great message and so unfairly underrated. Not many people react to it but I would love to see your reaction to it💕
De La Cruz's mansion looks like President Snow's mansion in "The Hunger Games Catching Fire"
The altar is called an Ofrenda in Mexico. Ofrenda means "offering" which you place the goodies the long gone relatives liked in life.
I was looking forward to this reaction. Remember Me is such an emotional song. 😭
For me, Up and Coco are the most emotional Pixar movies I’ve ever seen.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but when Miguel and Hector are singing ‘Un Poco Loco,’ I believe it translates to ‘A Little Crazy.’
yes
She is a very well known Latina Entertainer. I am just assuming it’s an inside joke cause my roommate from D.R laughed hard at her scenes. Cause of course it’s always her face, her face everywhere.
During the reserch trips where the Pixar staff spent time with mexican families during La Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), director Lee Unkrich noticed a family's dog who constantily tried to sneak to their Ofrenda to munch on a cupcake, that inspired Dante eating the food at the offering in the movie.
Very excited to see what movie you’re gonna react to on my birthday in 2 weeks!
Did you see this detail: when Miguel was stealing the guitar if you look at the teeth you notice one is gold and Hector had one gold tooth. It makes senses the guitar belongs to Hector.
I really enjoyed this Disney movie & can unfortunately relate with Miguel & his family with what they were going through with Coco one of my grandmas my dad's mom actually started having the same memory problems that coco was having in her old age & eventually it killed her unfortunately
(At 20:30) good thing that Jaguar got to him in time.
De La Crux suprised reaction over the fact he had a great grandson is genuine, cuz in Mexico it's illegal to have kids out of wedlock.
"He went from not knowing what to do, to committing crimes to pursue his passions"
Well Dela Cruz was his idol, so that lines up 😆
The first time I watch this movie and discoverd the plot twist near the end I genuinely felt betrayed
I loved this movie with all my heart every moment of it the colors and animation are all so beautiful and the twists were in my opinion really were shocking
3:15 was the pizza planet truck.
Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! Shrek! :) 1-4
Btw I love your reaction it's so entertaining
I’ve never cried watching a movie before, except for when I watched Coco. It wasn’t at the part where he’s singing to her, it was the part when it cuts to Mama Coco with her parents towards the end 😅
I found your channel about two weeks ago and now I have watched almost all of your video lol! I love your sense of humor and your editing and your voice, so thank you for all the fun reactions! I followed you on twitter but I was shy to say it there. Stay strong!
Thank you so much, it means a lot ❤️
”Un Poco Loco”
Means "A bit crazy”
"you make me a little crazy"
Un poco loco means a little crazy( poco=little)(loco=crazy)
2:58 the glee music I love it!
Hey, great reaction! By the way, have you watched The Prince of Egypt? This one holds a VEEEERRRRYYY special place in my heart. In fact, it's one of my favourite movies: astounding and majestic ost, amaaaazziiiing songs, great animation... Regarding the story, I don't know if you know about Moses. Even though this is based on the original religious version, it deepens into the evolution of relationship between brothers, above all. It also transmits beautiful messages, and it doesn't matter if you are religious or not. Besides, it sets a kind of different concept of villain of the story and something that many movies forget: when you discover a harsh truth, you just don't accept it heroically and continue your story through a new path. The most normal thing is to deny it and question your existence Idk how many times. Also, the movie shows what a sacrifice is and making hard choices.
This movie made me feel hope, anger towards different characters at some point, and VEEEERRRRYYY sad.
Hunchback of Notre Dame is another good one, and if you think the Disney version is dark then Idk what the original story is.
Both movies are VEEERRRYY underrated.
Fun fact (that nobody seems to mention): the clerk who told Miguel he was cursed is actually voiced by Gabriel Iglesias (a.k.a. Fluffy)
I gotta say the Spanish dub, specially the songs were way better than the English version, nothing beats legends of Mexico singing on it.
