Listen, crying is healthy. Feel your feelings, and don't let other people tell you how to feel or how to express your feelings. Empathy is a powerful strength.
There’s something about crying over a good movie scene that’s very cathartic for me ☺️ my mom can’t say the same because she gets a headache 😆 I finally got her to watch The Princess and the Frog and the funeral scene got her good, she kept saying she hates me for doing this to her whenever she cries 😂
Ignore the people who are bothering you for getting teary-eyed at the movies. Emotion is a beautiful thing, and I’m an advocate for men expressing their emotions without shame. Your honest emotional reactions is what made me subscribe ^_^
it's actually one of the things that draws me to his channel because everyone else tries to push down any emotion and its truly refreshing to see him be genuine
Little note. The creator confirmed once that Hector wrote “Un poco loco” for Imelda. She and Hector were the original duet, which is why he tells Miguel “that’s a song!” when he picks that one over remember me for the contest. Because at least the memory of THAT song wasn’t completely defiled by Ernesto
i'm curious, if Miguel knew "un poco loco", Hector wrote it, Ernesto never sung it, and the family isn't fond with music, how did Miguel even know about it?
@@sensagesan Well I'm guessing that Ernesto did steal and sing it like the other songs, but he was probably too self-centered for it be a duet and sang it as a solo, removing the value of it being the feelings shared by two people. Or at least that's my guess.
@@Flip-a-dip-dip She seems the kind to have laser focus and still hated music by that point of the movie, so yeah, my guess is her mind was so full of finding Miguel and she was so used to perceiving music as nothing more than meaningless noice back then, she honestly didn’t hear it
@@ericktellez7632 my father actually passed away when I was 14, but my mom and siblings fell in love with him so quickly that it was less of a reaction and more of an acceptance. I'm extremely lucky that in Indiana he was accepted as family by everyone from the beginning, and they also love learning about his family and culture. (and I couldn't ask for better in-laws. I haven't met his mom in person but hopefully we'll get to visit them soon after the wedding and pandemic)
Honestly I adore how emotional you get over the movies; you seem super empathetic and the fact that the emotions of the movies hit you as hard as they do makes me keep coming back to watch more of your reactions!!
Please don’t feel like you need to explain any emotional response you have to any movie. People will project their toxicity onto others. A lot of people believe that men/boys shouldn't cry or show emotions. Men are people & people have emotions. Damn stupid toxic gender norms
We also have that holiday in Poland, everyone goes to the graveyard at night and lights candles so the whole graveyard is filled with light at night. It’s beautiful.
Dia de los Muertos was yesterday as I'm writing this, but it's probably just over right now for the rest of the world (I'm ahead of a lot of the world, I live far south).
Music has been proven to unlock certain parts of people's memories that are laying dormant due to Alzheimer's or dementia and science cannot explain it, truly a miracle. Playing her that was so so important and probably gave her a little more time with them💔❤
To add to that, while its not completely conclusive, music is one of the few things that can help with dementia since music has a very intense emotional connection and response in the brain. For dementia patients, the emotions are the last thing to go, often in stage 5 of 6 when they become catatonic, so by using music, they will often be "brought" back to the time they heard those songs in the first place.
Science actually can explain it, and it's really cool! The hippocampus is important in turning short-term memories into long-term memories, but it's one of the first parts of the brain to degrade with dementia. But it's not the only part of the brain that deals with memory! The amygdala deals with emotion and emotion-based learning, and it usually takes longer to be affected by dementia. Music we loved when we were younger activates both the amygdala (because it's emotional) and long-term memory, so it can be used to bypass the parts of the brain damaged by dementia. Here's a video that talks about it more! th-cam.com/video/v7foqVQNPcQ/w-d-xo.html
@@sketchnotes2246 Hey, food is tasty! I'd still eat it even if I didn't have to! Lol ... but you're not wrong. Throwback to the guy at the desk being allergic to dogs. "But Dante doesn't have any fur..." "And I don't have a nose. And yet, here we are."
I think my favorite hint of Hector being the real great-great grandpa is the picture he wanted Miguel to put up. You can see in the picture that Hector has a single dimple just like Miguel, and it's even on the same side as Miguel's.
And a much smaller Cameo later in the film but at the crossing to De la Cruz's party you see El Santo with who is clearly his wife Eva Enriquetta Vallejo Vadager.
Don't feel bad for crying! Me, my partner and our whole row of strangers in the theater cried and we were all a whole mess when the lights came back on after the movie ended. Just feel your emotions and live the experience without restrain.
So in regards to Imelda’s decision to ban music: its because, as far as she knew, Hector has chosen to leave her and Coco behind to pursue music and Never returned - and he stopped writing to Coco, he never sent letters in general, and he also didn’t become famous like Ernesto. What did he accomplish? As far as Imelda knew- /nothing/. So she said to hell with music. In regards to Abuelita and her treatment of Dante (the shoe, her comment about dogs getting attached when named) - My family’s from El Salvador, not Mexico, so I might be wrong, but in El Salvador street dogs are E v e r y w h e r e, and a lot can be friendly, and a lot can equally be aggressive, and overall, many can have diseases. If you pick one up, you better have a good vet to hit up. Re: why the tias and tios were scared to give Miguel their blessing: they were scared of Imelda. A lot of hispanic cultures are Matriarchal, even if the men call the shots. My dad and uncles are on that Machismo scale but if my grandma says a word against them they shut their mouths and listen to her. So Imelda, being “alive” in their world means she calls all the shots - also the twins are her younger brothers so yknow, they listen LMAO The “he died on a /Chorizo/“ joke - its a d*ck joke. Chorizo is a type of sausage lmao dark but hey theyre dead anyway Not sure if you noticed, but throughout the whole movie once they got to the Land of the Dead, Dante kept pulling Miguel to Hector- that his goal was in front of him the whole time. If you liked the music Nick, 10/10 would recommend listening to the Spanish versions !! I personally love them more than the English versions- and I believe both Miguel and Hector’s english VAs also voiced them in Spanish!
Nick your reactions are incredible every time!! Dont let people rip on you for being a human and letting your emotions shine behind your eyes!! You are great, keep doing what you do!! Much love to you and yours
Also I LOVE the little touch that Imelda and Héctor are the only ones in the whole family to wear purple. It's often considered the color of royalty, so it quietly clues you in to the fact that they're the patriarchs of the family. ; u ;
Good catch. I missed that one. I liked the clue they gave, early on, that the guitar was actually Hector's. Hector had a gold tooth, in the mirrored position as the guitar. Ernesto didn't.
Coco is an endearing yet emotional Pixar animated film. It goes to show how a particular character would ever be willing enough to go such tremendous lenghths in order to reconnect with deceased family members from the other side and how reconciliation is totally significant. Glad you enjoyed the whole movie, Nick! An underrated gem in the making indeed.
Never apologize for having watery eyes or even crying. Many people are stunted emotionally and they believe that showing emotion is weird or scary. That's their problem. Never change. Do you. You're healthy, physically and emotionally. They're jealous.
Nick, please stop thinking you need to explain yourself when you react! You react in such an honest way and it’s so enjoyable to see! You rarely see men on this platform be okay with being vulnerable and expressing emotion. Don’t ever apologize for that rare trait. You’re an awesome creator and I’m excited to see where your channel goes! ♥️
@@nickflix8657 For sure! I totally get wanting to address it. I’m honestly glad that you’re emotional when you react, cause that’s what makes me come back for more! Keep it, Nick! ♥️
This movie is so emotional. I think Disney it’s nailing keeping the “family” themes over the romance ones. It’s very refreshing (because of all the tears probably).
Agreed. As someone who's a hopeless romantic and likes "well written" love stories, I'm down with Disney fleshing out the family theme, It works for me.
I hate reactions of cartoons and animated movies in which people just treat it like a joke, the fact that you feel emotional just as many of us is really precious to me and sure for many others :) cried during this as much as watching it by myself lol did you guys know if he already watched Klaus? i think he would really enjoy it!
You don't need excuses for tearing up! When I watch movies I tear up for a plethora of reasons! Music, sad moments, happy moments, visuals, anything! Emotions are not something to shy away from. As many others have said, your excitement and unbridled emotional reactions are the entire reason we're here. Watching you watch these movies feels like watching them again for the first time! Even ones I've seen 100 times! I'm a fairly new subscriber but I've been binge watching all your animated movie reacts!
It was lovely seeing your reaction to this movie! As a Mexican, this movie means a lot, seeing how it showed some of our traditions, colors, and music to the world. It was so cool seeing you be so in owe of our alebrijes 😁
Crying actually literally flushes away excess chemicals and helps regulate your emotions, different emotional tears look different under the microscope. So keep on being your authentic self!! But also if you find any movie or media is TOO intense for you, please feel free to pause and take a break and then get back to it. Or not at all if you feel it's harmful to your mental wellbeing! Even if everyone says its good. Like everyone tells me the handmaids tale is absolutely fantastic but its also all about sexual slavery and sexual abuse and how uncomfortably close our society is to that and i know for a fact that stuff would absolutely wreck my mental health so i am never going to be able to watch it. Doesnt make it a bad show, just a bad fit for me. Different people have different needs, so just listen to your heart and mind about whats best for you!!
hey don't worry about teary eyes. I watch to cry with you :D HAHAHA but seriously I love your reactions! I like when someone is emotional because they see the true layers that movies try to convey and i appreciate you for always being attentive on metaphors and hidden themes in the movies :)
The city of the dead in Coco was actually modeled after Salamanca, Guanajuato Mexico, which is where my best friend of 22 years lives. She told me there are certain alleyways and street corners in the film that are exact replicas of places in Salamanca, it's so accurate. Salamanca is also where Pixar held the Mexican premiere of the film, and it was nearly impossible to get tickets for WEEKS after that. She told me that it stayed in theaters for nearly a YEAR because the people of Mexico loved it so much. She's a college professor, historian, author, and legitimate archeologist who works with the Mexican government toward the preservation of the city's historical sites, and she saw Coco in theaters six or seven times in both Spanish and English. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is! 😊
I admit, when I watched this movie years ago I didn't cry. Teared up, but not actual crying. First, because I watched too many reviews before watching that I watched it more critically like I was judging if it really was as great as they said it was, instead of me just relaxing and enjoying myself, and second, because I predicted that Ernesto wasn't actually family and Hector is actually the real one. But watching you cry and get affected in emotional scenes brought me in emotionally in those scenes too, made me care about the characters, realize how sad things were, and I was touched when Miguel started singing to Coco. I admit, I was a bit sad that I didn't get as affected/emotional as other people said they were when they watched the movie, but now, years later, I *am* affected. So... thank you.
Real talk, don’t EVER let people make you feel like being empathetic and showing emotion is somehow a bad thing. Your genuine emotional connection/response to these videos is what makes you such an endearing and unique reactor. I feel like I’m living though you vicariously and remembering exactly how I felt when I saw these movies for the first time.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful movie. My mother passed away a few months before it came out, and when I first watched this movie in theaters, I was balling my eyes out but the message and theme of this movie gave me comfort, too. This is one of my all-time favorite movies of the past few years and I'll cherish it for as long as I live.
Your empathy is beautiful and genuine. Your tears enhance your reactions, because they show how deeply you feel the emotions that are presented in these movies. Never let anyone try to persuade you to hide your emotions. We love your real reactions!
The thing is I closely relate to the movie because my grandma has the same memory diagnosis. She would ask where her husband was (he passed in 1998) and she'd ask where her mom was. (Great Grandma passed in 1996). She would constantly ask where mom was or who someone is; addressed me as my mom's name and my brothers as my uncles. She'd also start to sing lots of songs in Spanish out of the blue since she grew up in Mexico but that also caused her to ask when she was going home despite being in the house she bought back in the 1950's. Though whenever her birthday came after she turned 86 she would ask who's birthday it is and be so surprised when we told her it's her birthday and what age she is. She went through a lot, a strong woman literally and figuratively. Music is powerful, it brought her happiness. A favorite of hers is That's Amore. I had shown her this movie when it came out and she absolutely loved it and laughed when Poco Loco came up She recently passed away, but she had the reassurance that she was home. Now she can be with her husband and they can finally be together once more. Olivia Gonzalez Madrid October 4th 1930 - June 15th 2021
This movie is fantastic for repeat viewings because you're always catching some detail or visual you didn't before. Like once you know Héctor was once a father, you start seeing it in the little ways he interacts with Miguel (telling him he can't run off, the way he talks to him, comforting him, etc.) You also realize that their argument after the talent show is projected self-hatred on Héctor's part. A kid who's about to walk into death pursuing music over family, therefore being separated from them for decades?? 😭 He's not going to let a child walk into what he did.
Agreed. I had just realized why, at the talent show, his family never spotted Miguel. They shunned music SO much, that they would NEVER look up at a stage where musicians were performing. It would be the perfect hiding place.
Oh wow did my brother and I cry at this movie. We were so tense like the last twenty minutes, didn't know how sad it would get. But when Miguel started singing, boy did the tears fall, we were holding back some hard sobs, then the next seats over we could hear some people crying too. It was such an impactful theater experience, hearing the silence broken by sniffles.
I highly recommend The Book of Life, Coraline and Epic. They are not Disney films but each have a different type of animation and beautiful soundtracks! I love your emotional reactions!
@@nickflix8657 The Book of Life is such a beautiful film! It's unfairly compared to Coco (and visa versa) because of the Mexican cultural and traditional inspirations, but they're very different in story/tone/animation.
As a Mexican is truly beautiful to have Día de los Muertos in our culture, to believe that our loved ones that passed away can come and visit us one day every year... it just warms my heart🥺
The fact that you get so emotional in these reactions is the reason why I keep whatching your videos, it feels genuine and it shows that you're really paying attention and enjoying the movie and I'm pretty sure that a lot of people think the same. If someone is hating because of that then it's their problem.
Heartbreaking yet relatable with the tough Mexican grandma and inability to do a proper grito. You better believe I cried during your reaction. I love this movie!
Día de muertos is my favorite Mexican holiday. It’s full of mixed emotions yet it’s so profound and spiritual. Hope you come to México one day to live this tradition and see it by your own eyes.
I think you’re an honest person. I don’t get why people would think that you’re a liar or fake your reactions. Most people who fake reactions don’t understand the story in the end. I myself can’t control how teary eyed I get. Keep up the good reactions dude👍
I'm really surprised at how many people don't seem to know that Pixar is owned by Disney. Like, I think you're the 4th person I've watch react to Pixar movies and be surprised that it's also a Disney movie. No shade or anything, I just think it's funny! Also! I love that you're showing emotion in your reactions, it's one of the reasons why I watch.
I didn’t know it was simply Pixar nor did I know it was it’s own company🤷, but I always called it Disney Pixar since I thought it was always belongs to Disney since Toy Story, Finding Nemo & The Incredibles🤦😅
The incredible thing about the music bringing Coco back to herself at the end is that that REALLY HAPPENS. There's footage all over TH-cam of dementia patients who are closed-in, barely responding to the world around them, let alone verbally - but they slip some headphones on these folks and play them music from their youth and they just blossom. They start talking, holding conversations, remember family members they couldn't recall names for...it's truly wonderful to watch. Check it out!
So, I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and I think Nick needs to see “The Iron Giant.” It’s an animated classic and just seems like something he’d really like.
I actually feel like I'm going to cry again to this movie. The first time I've seen coco my grandma was still alive but her health was declining (edit: she had dementia), and her funeral was today. I estimate 50% chance I'll cry.. because I cried much today but my heart is still sore. (Sorry my english isn't that good)
@@mollyirene8979 it is. It didn't hit me until we had a immediate family viewing of her that I let it all out (crying) in front of my close family members
Hey Nick, I really love your channel, have been watching for a few months already. As a born and raised Mexican, i feel like i have to explain a few things, Día de Los Muertos(day of the death) is celebrated on nov 2 every year, we put on an Altar were we put the pictures of our loved ones who are no longer with us, an Ofrenda(offering) is the food and drinks they loved when they were alive you can also put things they liked like toys, books or albums(cds, vinyls, etc), Alebrijes which is pronounced "Ah-lé-bree-hess" are "spirit guides" that were created by a mexican artist who dreamed of them being a combination of different animals and with bright colors. The whole basis of the movie is that it happens in Día de Los Muertos, thats why they have to do everything on the same day.
I’m not really one to watch reaction channels, but you are a big exception, I love how emotional you get, it’s just so wholesome seeing you react so strongly to these kinds of movies
While Coco was lucid, she shared her memories of her father by telling his stories to her family at last after NINETY YEARS of not even being able to MENTION him, which is what saved Hector. Now that his stories have been passed down to his family, they can pass his story down in the future and ensure he won't be forgotten.
Omg thank you for watching this it’s so underrated but so hear wrenching and I love it also I say this every time but mama cocos smile at the end so cute also can you watch home it’s a movie on Netflix rn
I honestly love how much you cry in your reactions - it makes them feel so honest and real. Of COURSE people cry watching this movie, it's about family!
You are literally my favourite TH-camr. I just feel like we’re friends watching movies. You’re so wholesome. Please keep being you and doing what you’re doing. ❤️💕
Your emotional freedom is what made me love you so much. The amount of reaction channels that cut out their emotional reactions is way too high. The people telling you to not freely show your feelings aren’t going to be the people in the right my man. We all love you and your hard work exactly as it is.
Idk what’s wrong with some people. I love how empathetic you are with the movies you watch! It shows me you genuinely care and connect with what you’re watching. Looking at the comments, I’m really glad I’m not the only one who thinks so :’-) keep up the great work dude
Never feel ashamed of your emotions. One of the many reasons I adore my boyfriend is due to how in touch he is with his emotions and how he isn’t afraid to cry. I love seeing that quality in other men, and it makes your reactions all the more heartwarming. Subbed 😁
The ending of this movie always gets my teary eyed. It's so beautiful and emotional. Glad you had your own emotional journey through it and enjoyed the visuals as always.
The fact you're so emotional watching movies is the reason why I love your reactions so much. In this hard world I need some honest crying to remember to feel.
Great video man! My family is from Mexico and we have the same beliefs in this movie. Its awesome to see other people appreciate the culture! Keep up your great videos! I always watch them!
Aaaaah the the first time I watched this movie my father passed away not long time ago, and tbh I didn’t know much about the movie, and at the begging it was very nostalgic and beautiful to see how Disney portrayed the Mexican culture and our tradition with so much respect, but when the story started to put together at the end I cried like a baby, and I connected with this story a lot. Thank you for watching this movie and showing your true emotions 💖🥺🥰✨
Your reactions are so genuine and pure! Literally why I watch your videos. I feel second hand child-like joy again watching you experience these films. And also I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME when I watch CoCo and pretty much any Pixar film. Art is meant to generate a reaction in the one observing and taking in the art. Whether it be fear, joy, heartbreak, excitement, anger or thoughtful reflection. You having an emotional response means the storytellers and artists did their job well!
The whole reason I subscribed is because of how emotional and caring you are! I'm the same way with movies, I just be crying along with you LMAO especially at Coco! Love ya Nick
I love your videos specifically because you are emotional and vulnerable! Every other reactor tries to hide their emotions and it’s so annoying, like it’s okay to cry but they try to force away the tears!
watching you react so emotionally to beautiful movies is everything. it’s refreshing to see another person (a man, specifically) crying just like i did when i watched the same movies for the first time. so don’t bottle it up and just let ir flow, it’s amazing.
"Coco" made you laugh, dance and wowed you before reaching into your soul to shake awake every other feeling you forgot you had. I absolutely LOVE the music and the lore behind Day Of The Dead.
You know what we need more of? Wolfwalkers reactions. One of the funniest transitions in the film: Ernesto: * gets crushed by falling Mexican liberty bell * Miguel: I wanna be just like him! The singular issue I take with this otherwise perfect film is the fact that Imelda is never called out on what she did wrong. She literally told Miguel that if he ever played music again, he would die. She knew the consequences of being forgotten, and she still went out of her way to make sure Héctor was forgotten. She spent her entire life and afterlife preaching about how family is the most important thing in the world, then she went and put her rules and traditions above her family--and taught Elena to do the same. Imelda is far from innocent in all this. And she needed to be taken to task for it. Héctor would never do it, but someone should have. The other musicians are joking that Héctor supposedly died giving someone a blow job. Also, the dancers emerging from the papaya represent childbirth. Like, a child actually physically coming out of the birth canal. Which, in a really, really weird way that you really should not think about too much, makes Frida Kahlo every main cast member's "mother." But then, her married name was Rivera. Héctor's VA brought his actual 3-year-old daughter into the recording booth and had her sing with him. So the voice of Baby Coco is Baby Garcia. True love is each party sacrificing their own dreams to make the other's dreams come true. Miguel and Héctor did that. They each sacrificed what they wanted for the other, and in the end, they each had their dreams fulfilled in ways they never could've imagined or achieved on their own. In the novelization, the tías actually spent some time in the rehearsal studio messing around with the cameras and controls. That's how they knew to turn the camera feed on Ernesto at just the right time. The arrangement of the living Riveras during Miguel's lullaby for Mamá Coco is interesting. They're arranged in sibling pairs, except for Elena (whose sister Victoria is dead), Franco and Enrique. You've got Luisa and Gloria next to each other, then behind them are Abel and Rosa, and behind Franco are Berto and Carmen. I think the storyboard artists arranged them like that to emphasize family lines for that specific scene. Miguel's little sister is named after Mamá Coco.
I was supposed to watch this with my grandmother when it came out. She was so excited that there was something coming out that reflected our culture. She died before we could go. I can’t watch this without crying. I’m glad you liked it.
I think many people think you're crying because of the way how you talk, but I think it's mainly because you're emotional. I had to take a while to get used to it too, but now I just adore the way you emotionally react to things like music, atmosphere, scenery etc You're easily one of my favorite reaction channels by now!
I think this movie hits different in accordance to culture. Non Latino cultures might find it odd and hard to connect which is understandable but for Latinos this hits home. We are generally very family oriented and the day of the dead is for the most part observed in our countries. We are superstitious because it is believed we must pray for the dead that day, visit them and in a way they are with us that day. This is how we are raised and seeing this movie at least for me brings back deep rooted memories and traditions. I got super emotional watching it but it’s beautiful to see people from other cultures connect with this movie and understand the meaning behind it 💜
Dude you showed your genuine feelings. The moments you show emotions are powerful and honestly I always cry at the exact same moments you do in every one of your movie reactions. It just shows what an impact movies can make to people. Stay the way you are and show your honest feelings, I love that about you
Loved your reaction! Don't worry about getting teary-eyed. I'm the same way with movies and TV shows. One of the reasons I like watching your videos so much is because you show emotion.
About the emotional thing. You're actually the only reacter i watch because most other ones seem to be emotionless and i feel the same emotions as you whenever i watch a movie. The emotion you show in your videos actually make them extremely enjoyable to watch for me.
a great reaction like always. in that scene where Miguel uses the song to have Coco remember, there's evidence that that sort of thing happens in real life. people were able to get patients who had dementia to recollect their memories easier after playing a significant song to that person. can you do a reaction to Mitchells Vs the Machines, Your Name, and Beastars?
This movie makes me cry every time I see it, it’s a powerful movie that moves people from all backgrounds. If someone says they’re not affected during this movie then they’re cold hearted or lying
I think you are very genuine and thats why I keep coming back to watch these movies with you, your commentary and reactions are so relatable 😊 just keep the good movies coming!
Honestly, I am really emotional. I bursted in tears in this movie like 4 times, even at those parts where people do not usually cry! Never hide your emotions! Emotions always show what kind of person you are! ♥
Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! Next up will be Hercules!
guess hook is never gonna happen? :P
It is, just not as soon as I planned on before.
Can I just say you’re my favorite person to watch on TH-cam! It makes my day when you upload
Please react to The Greatest Showman
You’ll love the music of Hercules!
To whoever bothered Nick for being emotional and empathetic, come here, I just wanna talk 💁♂️🔪
same. 😊😊😊😊💥💥💥
Probably some toxic masculinity guy who drinks beer and watches football all the time
Me too 😃😌😊🔫🗡🔪
I know right! Let him feel his feelings in peace!
I don’t bother him about it, I do bust his chops, but the truth is, I love him getting emotional.
Listen, crying is healthy. Feel your feelings, and don't let other people tell you how to feel or how to express your feelings. Empathy is a powerful strength.
There’s something about crying over a good movie scene that’s very cathartic for me ☺️ my mom can’t say the same because she gets a headache 😆 I finally got her to watch The Princess and the Frog and the funeral scene got her good, she kept saying she hates me for doing this to her whenever she cries 😂
So true
@@vixiestarfire man, do I relate to your mother 😆 I get the most awful headaches eveytime I cry. But I still love watching sad movies lol
Ignore the people who are bothering you for getting teary-eyed at the movies. Emotion is a beautiful thing, and I’m an advocate for men expressing their emotions without shame. Your honest emotional reactions is what made me subscribe ^_^
Yeah! Let's be honest, we all come back here to see Nick get emotional and this film is the mothership.
There is nothing wrong with crying let all your emotions out 🧡
Yes! I enjoy watching you for this reason. I love seeing how a film can effect you in such a way, I'm the same
it's actually one of the things that draws me to his channel because everyone else tries to push down any emotion and its truly refreshing to see him be genuine
REAL men have a heart, and the heart can be soft =)

She and Hector were the original duet, which is why he tells Miguel “that’s a song!” when he picks that one over remember me for the contest.

As a Mexican-American, this movie made me cry like a baby and I don't usually cry in movies.
Same.. samee
My fiancé is from Mexico and he hasn't seen his family in 15 years. We saw the movie multiple times in theaters and cried every time 😭 I can't imagine

If I may, what was your parents reaction when you told them you were dating a mexican?
@@ericktellez7632 my father actually passed away when I was 14, but my mom and siblings fell in love with him so quickly that it was less of a reaction and more of an acceptance.

Honestly I adore how emotional you get over the movies; you seem super empathetic and the fact that the emotions of the movies hit you as hard as they do makes me keep coming back to watch more of your reactions!!
exactly!!!!
Yes, absolutely!!
Completely agree! I love his shining eyes!

Even if you were crying the entire movie it just means you really connect with it! I don't see why it bothers some people!
Most likely it's cause those people want to just watch the movie for free, and not actually here to see his reaction.
Exactly!!!
Yes is is based off an actual holiday. Dia de los Muertos or “day of the dead”.
We also have that holiday in Poland, everyone goes to the graveyard at night and lights candles so the whole graveyard is filled with light at night. It’s beautiful.
@@SimGirl00 Really? Wow I never knew. I see that this holiday is celebrated by many cultures now :)
@@AP-pv6vk in sweden to
Dia de los Muertos was yesterday as I'm writing this, but it's probably just over right now for the rest of the world (I'm ahead of a lot of the world, I live far south).
Music has been proven to unlock certain parts of people's memories that are laying dormant due to Alzheimer's or dementia and science cannot explain it, truly a miracle. Playing her that was so so important and probably gave her a little more time with them💔❤
To add to that, while its not completely conclusive, music is one of the few things that can help with dementia since music has a very intense emotional connection and response in the brain. For dementia patients, the emotions are the last thing to go, often in stage 5 of 6 when they become catatonic, so by using music, they will often be "brought" back to the time they heard those songs in the first place.
Science actually can explain it, and it's really cool! The hippocampus is important in turning short-term memories into long-term memories, but it's one of the first parts of the brain to degrade with dementia. But it's not the only part of the brain that deals with memory! The amygdala deals with emotion and emotion-based learning, and it usually takes longer to be affected by dementia. Music we loved when we were younger activates both the amygdala (because it's emotional) and long-term memory, so it can be used to bypass the parts of the brain damaged by dementia.
Here's a video that talks about it more! th-cam.com/video/v7foqVQNPcQ/w-d-xo.html
That’s interesting. That’s actually a very nice touch for the movie. Makes it more emotional.
My grandma struggles with dementia, but when I sing her a song from the 1940s or 50s she can remember every word, and she enjoys it so much
"No one has to use the bathroom there?"
NOPE! They're just skeletons. They don't have to. Lol.
Imagine dying, going to heaven or hell, and forced to still use the bathroom lol
Yet there are several instances of the dead characters eating food...
@@sketchnotes2246 Hey, food is tasty! I'd still eat it even if I didn't have to! Lol
... but you're not wrong.
Throwback to the guy at the desk being allergic to dogs.
"But Dante doesn't have any fur..."
"And I don't have a nose. And yet, here we are."
@@kateiannacone2698 yeah, I just keep telling myself "Its the land of the dead, it doesn't have to make sense all the time."
I think my favorite hint of Hector being the real great-great grandpa is the picture he wanted Miguel to put up. You can see in the picture that Hector has a single dimple just like Miguel, and it's even on the same side as Miguel's.
Omg that's amazing! I've always said Miguel looked like Hector, but I never noticed that detail.
The Lady with the unibrow and the monkey is supposed to be Frida Kahlo, an immensely beloved Mexican painter
I love the stage show she's putting on actually looks like her paintings lol she's my hero
And a much smaller Cameo later in the film but at the crossing to De la Cruz's party you see El Santo with who is clearly his wife Eva Enriquetta Vallejo Vadager.
Querida por el resto del mundo, en México no tanto... Créeme.
Don't feel bad for crying! Me, my partner and our whole row of strangers in the theater cried and we were all a whole mess when the lights came back on after the movie ended. Just feel your emotions and live the experience without restrain.
Awwwww ❤️💕♥️💙💜💗💛💖💞💚❣️💓🧡
So in regards to Imelda’s decision to ban music: its because, as far as she knew, Hector has chosen to leave her and Coco behind to pursue music and Never returned - and he stopped writing to Coco, he never sent letters in general, and he also didn’t become famous like Ernesto. What did he accomplish? As far as Imelda knew- /nothing/.
So she said to hell with music.
In regards to Abuelita and her treatment of Dante (the shoe, her comment about dogs getting attached when named) - My family’s from El Salvador, not Mexico, so I might be wrong, but in El Salvador street dogs are E v e r y w h e r e, and a lot can be friendly, and a lot can equally be aggressive, and overall, many can have diseases. If you pick one up, you better have a good vet to hit up.
Re: why the tias and tios were scared to give Miguel their blessing: they were scared of Imelda. A lot of hispanic cultures are Matriarchal, even if the men call the shots. My dad and uncles are on that Machismo scale but if my grandma says a word against them they shut their mouths and listen to her. So Imelda, being “alive” in their world means she calls all the shots - also the twins are her younger brothers so yknow, they listen LMAO
The “he died on a /Chorizo/“ joke - its a d*ck joke. Chorizo is a type of sausage lmao dark but hey theyre dead anyway
Not sure if you noticed, but throughout the whole movie once they got to the Land of the Dead, Dante kept pulling Miguel to Hector- that his goal was in front of him the whole time.
If you liked the music Nick, 10/10 would recommend listening to the Spanish versions !! I personally love them more than the English versions- and I believe both Miguel and Hector’s english VAs also voiced them in Spanish!
Eyyy I'm also Salvi! You're so right tho, the aquacateros are more abundant than fleas sometimes
Another funfact when hector sings remember me to coco, the little girl va is hectors va daughter in real life
Nick your reactions are incredible every time!! Dont let people rip on you for being a human and letting your emotions shine behind your eyes!! You are great, keep doing what you do!! Much love to you and yours
Thanks 😊
Also I LOVE the little touch that Imelda and Héctor are the only ones in the whole family to wear purple. It's often considered the color of royalty, so it quietly clues you in to the fact that they're the patriarchs of the family. ; u ;
Good catch. I missed that one. I liked the clue they gave, early on, that the guitar was actually Hector's. Hector had a gold tooth, in the mirrored position as the guitar. Ernesto didn't.
Just saw this film and absolutely loved it! The story, music, animation, everything is on point!
One of my favorite animated movies in years haha.
Coco is an endearing yet emotional Pixar animated film. It goes to show how a particular character would ever be willing enough to go such tremendous lenghths in order to reconnect with deceased family members from the other side and how reconciliation is totally significant. Glad you enjoyed the whole movie, Nick! An underrated gem in the making indeed.
Don't ever feel bad for crying, you literally make me feels so comfortable when watching movies, and I cry along with you. 😭
Never apologize for having watery eyes or even crying. Many people are stunted emotionally and they believe that showing emotion is weird or scary. That's their problem. Never change. Do you. You're healthy, physically and emotionally. They're jealous.
Nick, please stop thinking you need to explain yourself when you react! You react in such an honest way and it’s so enjoyable to see! You rarely see men on this platform be okay with being vulnerable and expressing emotion. Don’t ever apologize for that rare trait. You’re an awesome creator and I’m excited to see where your channel goes! ♥️
Sorry I just feel the need too when I get a lot of comments on here and Instagram about it. But trying to stop that haha.
@@nickflix8657 For sure! I totally get wanting to address it. I’m honestly glad that you’re emotional when you react, cause that’s what makes me come back for more! Keep it, Nick! ♥️
This movie is so emotional. I think Disney it’s nailing keeping the “family” themes over the romance ones. It’s very refreshing (because of all the tears probably).
Agreed. As someone who's a hopeless romantic and likes "well written" love stories, I'm down with Disney fleshing out the family theme, It works for me.
Disney has done too much romance already. I adore when they focus on other types of love for a change, especially family.
Honestly, I judge anyone who DOESN'T get at least a little teary eyed over this movie.
No matter how many times I rewatch the Remember Me rendition for Grandma Coco will get me to cry everytime
I hate reactions of cartoons and animated movies in which people just treat it like a joke, the fact that you feel emotional just as many of us is really precious to me and sure for many others :)
cried during this as much as watching it by myself lol
did you guys know if he already watched Klaus? i think he would really enjoy it!
He hasn’t.
Seriously? People are jerks about you crying? Sorry, but screw them! Crying is completely normal, and there is nothing wrong with it.
You don't need excuses for tearing up! When I watch movies I tear up for a plethora of reasons! Music, sad moments, happy moments, visuals, anything! Emotions are not something to shy away from. As many others have said, your excitement and unbridled emotional reactions are the entire reason we're here. Watching you watch these movies feels like watching them again for the first time! Even ones I've seen 100 times!
I'm a fairly new subscriber but I've been binge watching all your animated movie reacts!
This movie deserves a 52 minute reaction!!
It was lovely seeing your reaction to this movie! As a Mexican, this movie means a lot, seeing how it showed some of our traditions, colors, and music to the world. It was so cool seeing you be so in owe of our alebrijes 😁
Glad I was able to do it justice!
Crying actually literally flushes away excess chemicals and helps regulate your emotions, different emotional tears look different under the microscope. So keep on being your authentic self!!
But also if you find any movie or media is TOO intense for you, please feel free to pause and take a break and then get back to it. Or not at all if you feel it's harmful to your mental wellbeing! Even if everyone says its good.
Like everyone tells me the handmaids tale is absolutely fantastic but its also all about sexual slavery and sexual abuse and how uncomfortably close our society is to that and i know for a fact that stuff would absolutely wreck my mental health so i am never going to be able to watch it. Doesnt make it a bad show, just a bad fit for me.
Different people have different needs, so just listen to your heart and mind about whats best for you!!
hey don't worry about teary eyes. I watch to cry with you :D HAHAHA but seriously I love your reactions! I like when someone is emotional because they see the true layers that movies try to convey and i appreciate you for always being attentive on metaphors and hidden themes in the movies :)
Thanks for noticing!
The city of the dead in Coco was actually modeled after Salamanca, Guanajuato Mexico, which is where my best friend of 22 years lives. She told me there are certain alleyways and street corners in the film that are exact replicas of places in Salamanca, it's so accurate.
Salamanca is also where Pixar held the Mexican premiere of the film, and it was nearly impossible to get tickets for WEEKS after that. She told me that it stayed in theaters for nearly a YEAR because the people of Mexico loved it so much.
She's a college professor, historian, author, and legitimate archeologist who works with the Mexican government toward the preservation of the city's historical sites, and she saw Coco in theaters six or seven times in both Spanish and English. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is! 😊
I admit, when I watched this movie years ago I didn't cry. Teared up, but not actual crying. First, because I watched too many reviews before watching that I watched it more critically like I was judging if it really was as great as they said it was, instead of me just relaxing and enjoying myself, and second, because I predicted that Ernesto wasn't actually family and Hector is actually the real one. But watching you cry and get affected in emotional scenes brought me in emotionally in those scenes too, made me care about the characters, realize how sad things were, and I was touched when Miguel started singing to Coco.
I admit, I was a bit sad that I didn't get as affected/emotional as other people said they were when they watched the movie, but now, years later, I *am* affected. So... thank you.
One of the best animated film I’ve ever seen in my whole life. ❤️
The plot twist is one of the Greatest.
Real talk, don’t EVER let people make you feel like being empathetic and showing emotion is somehow a bad thing.
Your genuine emotional connection/response to these videos is what makes you such an endearing and unique reactor. I feel like I’m living though you vicariously and remembering exactly how I felt when I saw these movies for the first time.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful movie. My mother passed away a few months before it came out, and when I first watched this movie in theaters, I was balling my eyes out but the message and theme of this movie gave me comfort, too. This is one of my all-time favorite movies of the past few years and I'll cherish it for as long as I live.
Your empathy is beautiful and genuine. Your tears enhance your reactions, because they show how deeply you feel the emotions that are presented in these movies. Never let anyone try to persuade you to hide your emotions. We love your real reactions!
I highly recommend "Soul" from Disney/Pixar !
Actually watched it on the channel already with my friend!
@@nickflix8657 Sorry! How could I miss that ?
It’s completely fine haha we did it a couple months ago when it was close to its release.
Inside out is better
@@tenshi.kurama Inside out broke me. Such a good one
The thing is I closely relate to the movie because my grandma has the same memory diagnosis. She would ask where her husband was (he passed in 1998) and she'd ask where her mom was. (Great Grandma passed in 1996). She would constantly ask where mom was or who someone is; addressed me as my mom's name and my brothers as my uncles. She'd also start to sing lots of songs in Spanish out of the blue since she grew up in Mexico but that also caused her to ask when she was going home despite being in the house she bought back in the 1950's.
Though whenever her birthday came after she turned 86 she would ask who's birthday it is and be so surprised when we told her it's her birthday and what age she is. She went through a lot, a strong woman literally and figuratively. Music is powerful, it brought her happiness. A favorite of hers is That's Amore.
I had shown her this movie when it came out and she absolutely loved it and laughed when Poco Loco came up
She recently passed away, but she had the reassurance that she was home. Now she can be with her husband and they can finally be together once more.

This movie is fantastic for repeat viewings because you're always catching some detail or visual you didn't before. Like once you know Héctor was once a father, you start seeing it in the little ways he interacts with Miguel (telling him he can't run off, the way he talks to him, comforting him, etc.) You also realize that their argument after the talent show is projected self-hatred on Héctor's part. A kid who's about to walk into death pursuing music over family, therefore being separated from them for decades?? 😭 He's not going to let a child walk into what he did.
Agreed. I had just realized why, at the talent show, his family never spotted Miguel. They shunned music SO much, that they would NEVER look up at a stage where musicians were performing. It would be the perfect hiding place.
Oh wow did my brother and I cry at this movie. We were so tense like the last twenty minutes, didn't know how sad it would get. But when Miguel started singing, boy did the tears fall, we were holding back some hard sobs, then the next seats over we could hear some people crying too. It was such an impactful theater experience, hearing the silence broken by sniffles.
I highly recommend The Book of Life, Coraline and Epic. They are not Disney films but each have a different type of animation and beautiful soundtracks! I love your emotional reactions!
Already done Coraline on the channel as a group reaction but the other 2 are on the list!
@@nickflix8657 I can’t wait for you to watch book of life and epic!! They are sooo underrated and the songs are amazing!!
@@nickflix8657 I can’t wait for you to watch book of life and epic!! They are sooo underrated and the songs are amazing!!
@@nickflix8657 The Book of Life is such a beautiful film! It's unfairly compared to Coco (and visa versa) because of the Mexican cultural and traditional inspirations, but they're very different in story/tone/animation.
YES!!!!
Love this movie, it actually made me cry first time seeing it.
Almost everyone cries at least once during this movie. It might be Pixar's most perfect output.
As a Mexican is truly beautiful to have Día de los Muertos in our culture, to believe that our loved ones that passed away can come and visit us one day every year... it just warms my heart🥺
The fact that you get so emotional in these reactions is the reason why I keep whatching your videos, it feels genuine and it shows that you're really paying attention and enjoying the movie and I'm pretty sure that a lot of people think the same. If someone is hating because of that then it's their problem.
I personally think it’s kinda cute that you let your emotions out weather it be laughing or crying
Heartbreaking yet relatable with the tough Mexican grandma and inability to do a proper grito. You better believe I cried during your reaction. I love this movie!
Honestly when I saw this come up I laughed at myself for saying "Oh hell yeah, let's get this cry on!" I know your channel and I love it!
Día de muertos is my favorite Mexican holiday. It’s full of mixed emotions yet it’s so profound and spiritual. Hope you come to México one day to live this tradition and see it by your own eyes.
I think you’re an honest person. I don’t get why people would think that you’re a liar or fake your reactions. Most people who fake reactions don’t understand the story in the end. I myself can’t control how teary eyed I get. Keep up the good reactions dude👍
I'm really surprised at how many people don't seem to know that Pixar is owned by Disney. Like, I think you're the 4th person I've watch react to Pixar movies and be surprised that it's also a Disney movie. No shade or anything, I just think it's funny!
Also! I love that you're showing emotion in your reactions, it's one of the reasons why I watch.
I didn’t know it was simply Pixar nor did I know it was it’s own company🤷, but I always called it Disney Pixar since I thought it was always belongs to Disney since Toy Story, Finding Nemo & The Incredibles🤦😅
It's awesome you are comfortable enough to show emotions, you need never explain just be you! we appreciate it!

The incredible thing about the music bringing Coco back to herself at the end is that that REALLY HAPPENS. There's footage all over TH-cam of dementia patients who are closed-in, barely responding to the world around them, let alone verbally - but they slip some headphones on these folks and play them music from their youth and they just blossom. They start talking, holding conversations, remember family members they couldn't recall names for...it's truly wonderful to watch. Check it out!
So, I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and I think Nick needs to see “The Iron Giant.” It’s an animated classic and just seems like something he’d really like.
OMG, I hope he has tissues ready if that happens. 😅
Yes yes yeees! Love Coco, such a beautiful story~
Love the fact that Hercules is next! It's like you're watching all my favorite movies at one go :D
I actually feel like I'm going to cry again to this movie. The first time I've seen coco my grandma was still alive but her health was declining (edit: she had dementia), and her funeral was today. I estimate 50% chance I'll cry.. because I cried much today but my heart is still sore. (Sorry my english isn't that good)
so sorry for your loss. my grandma also passed away with dementia, and it is one of the hardest ways to lose someone. 💕
I am so sorry for your loss!
I was right. I currently wiping my waterfall tears. Have a good day or night
@@mollyirene8979 it is. It didn't hit me until we had a immediate family viewing of her that I let it all out (crying) in front of my close family members
@@nickflix8657 she's in a better place now. 💕🙏🏼
Hey Nick,
I really love your channel, have been watching for a few months already.
As a born and raised Mexican, i feel like i have to explain a few things, Día de Los Muertos(day of the death) is celebrated on nov 2 every year, we put on an Altar were we put the pictures of our loved ones who are no longer with us, an Ofrenda(offering) is the food and drinks they loved when they were alive you can also put things they liked like toys, books or albums(cds, vinyls, etc), Alebrijes which is pronounced "Ah-lé-bree-hess" are "spirit guides" that were created by a mexican artist who dreamed of them being a combination of different animals and with bright colors.
The whole basis of the movie is that it happens in Día de Los Muertos, thats why they have to do everything on the same day.
I’m not really one to watch reaction channels, but you are a big exception, I love how emotional you get, it’s just so wholesome seeing you react so strongly to these kinds of movies
While Coco was lucid, she shared her memories of her father by telling his stories to her family at last after NINETY YEARS of not even being able to MENTION him, which is what saved Hector. Now that his stories have been passed down to his family, they can pass his story down in the future and ensure he won't be forgotten.
I highly recommend you to watch
“THE LITTLE PRINCE”
That movie was so underrated masterpiece!
You are a very Courageous Man for showing your emotions. It’s setting an example for the ones who feel like they can’t♥️
Let's gooooooo i love this movie so much it makes me tear up everytime
Omg thank you for watching this it’s so underrated but so hear wrenching and I love it also I say this every time but mama cocos smile at the end so cute also can you watch home it’s a movie on Netflix rn
I honestly love how much you cry in your reactions - it makes them feel so honest and real. Of COURSE people cry watching this movie, it's about family!
Finally my favorite reactor watching my favorite Pixar movie!
You are literally my favourite TH-camr. I just feel like we’re friends watching movies. You’re so wholesome. Please keep being you and doing what you’re doing. ❤️💕
Thanks so much really appreciate that!
Your emotional freedom is what made me love you so much. The amount of reaction channels that cut out their emotional reactions is way too high. The people telling you to not freely show your feelings aren’t going to be the people in the right my man. We all love you and your hard work exactly as it is.
Idk what’s wrong with some people. I love how empathetic you are with the movies you watch! It shows me you genuinely care and connect with what you’re watching. Looking at the comments, I’m really glad I’m not the only one who thinks so :’-) keep up the great work dude
Never feel ashamed of your emotions. One of the many reasons I adore my boyfriend is due to how in touch he is with his emotions and how he isn’t afraid to cry. I love seeing that quality in other men, and it makes your reactions all the more heartwarming. Subbed 😁
Remember me is the 2nd most emotional scene in Pixar history with the 1st being the Up opening scene
The ending of this movie always gets my teary eyed. It's so beautiful and emotional. Glad you had your own emotional journey through it and enjoyed the visuals as always.
The fact you're so emotional watching movies is the reason why I love your reactions so much. In this hard world I need some honest crying to remember to feel.
Great video man! My family is from Mexico and we have the same beliefs in this movie. Its awesome to see other people appreciate the culture! Keep up your great videos! I always watch them!
Aaaaah the the first time I watched this movie my father passed away not long time ago, and tbh I didn’t know much about the movie, and at the begging it was very nostalgic and beautiful to see how Disney portrayed the Mexican culture and our tradition with so much respect, but when the story started to put together at the end I cried like a baby, and I connected with this story a lot. Thank you for watching this movie and showing your true emotions 💖🥺🥰✨
Your reactions are so genuine and pure! Literally why I watch your videos. I feel second hand child-like joy again watching you experience these films. And also I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME when I watch CoCo and pretty much any Pixar film.
Art is meant to generate a reaction in the one observing and taking in the art. Whether it be fear, joy, heartbreak, excitement, anger or thoughtful reflection. You having an emotional response means the storytellers and artists did their job well!
The whole reason I subscribed is because of how emotional and caring you are! I'm the same way with movies, I just be crying along with you LMAO especially at Coco! Love ya Nick
I love your videos specifically because you are emotional and vulnerable! Every other reactor tries to hide their emotions and it’s so annoying, like it’s okay to cry but they try to force away the tears!
watching you react so emotionally to beautiful movies is everything. it’s refreshing to see another person (a man, specifically) crying just like i did when i watched the same movies for the first time. so don’t bottle it up and just let ir flow, it’s amazing.
“Onward” is a great movie that I really enjoyed! It’s also a newer Pixar movie that really touches on family. Highly recommend!
Seen it, loved it!
"Coco" made you laugh, dance and wowed you before reaching into your soul to shake awake every other feeling you forgot you had. I absolutely LOVE the music and the lore behind Day Of The Dead.
Ah yes, Coco the movie that made me bawl out my eyes 😌 can't wait to see how emotional it makes you 👀 love your reactions btw ^^
You know what we need more of? Wolfwalkers reactions.
One of the funniest transitions in the film:
Ernesto: * gets crushed by falling Mexican liberty bell *
Miguel: I wanna be just like him!
The singular issue I take with this otherwise perfect film is the fact that Imelda is never called out on what she did wrong. She literally told Miguel that if he ever played music again, he would die. She knew the consequences of being forgotten, and she still went out of her way to make sure Héctor was forgotten. She spent her entire life and afterlife preaching about how family is the most important thing in the world, then she went and put her rules and traditions above her family--and taught Elena to do the same. Imelda is far from innocent in all this. And she needed to be taken to task for it. Héctor would never do it, but someone should have.
The other musicians are joking that Héctor supposedly died giving someone a blow job. Also, the dancers emerging from the papaya represent childbirth. Like, a child actually physically coming out of the birth canal. Which, in a really, really weird way that you really should not think about too much, makes Frida Kahlo every main cast member's "mother." But then, her married name was Rivera.
Héctor's VA brought his actual 3-year-old daughter into the recording booth and had her sing with him. So the voice of Baby Coco is Baby Garcia.
True love is each party sacrificing their own dreams to make the other's dreams come true. Miguel and Héctor did that. They each sacrificed what they wanted for the other, and in the end, they each had their dreams fulfilled in ways they never could've imagined or achieved on their own.
In the novelization, the tías actually spent some time in the rehearsal studio messing around with the cameras and controls. That's how they knew to turn the camera feed on Ernesto at just the right time.
The arrangement of the living Riveras during Miguel's lullaby for Mamá Coco is interesting. They're arranged in sibling pairs, except for Elena (whose sister Victoria is dead), Franco and Enrique. You've got Luisa and Gloria next to each other, then behind them are Abel and Rosa, and behind Franco are Berto and Carmen. I think the storyboard artists arranged them like that to emphasize family lines for that specific scene.
Miguel's little sister is named after Mamá Coco.
I was supposed to watch this with my grandmother when it came out. She was so excited that there was something coming out that reflected our culture. She died before we could go. I can’t watch this without crying. I’m glad you liked it.
I think many people think you're crying because of the way how you talk, but I think it's mainly because you're emotional.
I had to take a while to get used to it too, but now I just adore the way you emotionally react to things like music, atmosphere, scenery etc
You're easily one of my favorite reaction channels by now!
I think this movie hits different in accordance to culture. Non Latino cultures might find it odd and hard to connect which is understandable but for Latinos this hits home. We are generally very family oriented and the day of the dead is for the most part observed in our countries. We are superstitious because it is believed we must pray for the dead that day, visit them and in a way they are with us that day. This is how we are raised and seeing this movie at least for me brings back deep rooted memories and traditions. I got super emotional watching it but it’s beautiful to see people from other cultures connect with this movie and understand the meaning behind it 💜
Don't ever apologize or explain crying! Your emotional reactions are why I love your channel. Just be you and feel what you feel.
Dude you showed your genuine feelings. The moments you show emotions are powerful and honestly I always cry at the exact same moments you do in every one of your movie reactions. It just shows what an impact movies can make to people. Stay the way you are and show your honest feelings, I love that about you
Loved your reaction! Don't worry about getting teary-eyed. I'm the same way with movies and TV shows. One of the reasons I like watching your videos so much is because you show emotion.
I really liked and appreciated your heartfelt reaction. I love to see people being touched by the story.
About the emotional thing. You're actually the only reacter i watch because most other ones seem to be emotionless and i feel the same emotions as you whenever i watch a movie. The emotion you show in your videos actually make them extremely enjoyable to watch for me.
One of the most beautiful reactions I cried again watching you cry 😭 thank you
a great reaction like always. in that scene where Miguel uses the song to have Coco remember, there's evidence that that sort of thing happens in real life. people were able to get patients who had dementia to recollect their memories easier after playing a significant song to that person.
can you do a reaction to Mitchells Vs the Machines, Your Name, and Beastars?
Mitchells vs the Machines is very fun 😊
I hope he'd also check out the 4-5 Cartoon Saloon movies, cuz woah! 2D animation!
This movie makes me cry every time I see it, it’s a powerful movie that moves people from all backgrounds. If someone says they’re not affected during this movie then they’re cold hearted or lying
I think you are very genuine and thats why I keep coming back to watch these movies with you, your commentary and reactions are so relatable 😊 just keep the good movies coming!
Honestly, I am really emotional. I bursted in tears in this movie like 4 times, even at those parts where people do not usually cry! Never hide your emotions! Emotions always show what kind of person you are! ♥
I absolutely love your reactions, they are so genuine and are from the heart ❤🙏🏼❤ I even cry😭❤
