First Time Watching Coco | Group Movie Reaction

[@arcticbanana66]

The trailers for this movie: "A boy has wacky adventures in the Land of the Dead!" The actual movie: "Oh, you thought the first five minutes of Up was sad?" To quote another reactor, "Everybody's gangsta until Mama Coco starts singing along."

Notice how when De La Cruz gives his blessing, the petal never lights up, but when the others do it, it glows. This was a subtle hint to him not really being family.

[@Nazo-kage]

A very nice subtle touch with this movie, is the many ways that a song can be interpreted. “Remember me” Has such a dramatic change to it when you first hear it from Ernesto, and when you hear how it’s supposed to be played by Hector. With Dela Cruz the song is a happy little bouncy song, of him talking about his latest. lover. Just a single night together and then he’s off again. But suddenly, when you hear it from Hector. It’s a song from a father, telling his daughter that he loves them, and that he’ll be with them as soon as he can. It’s like a song that you would sing to your kid before you go off to work.

[@sherylannd6813]

@@prasoonjha2238 I mean I had similar thoughts when I watched it. Once you decide on Héctor being the actual grandfather, the idea that Cruz somehow had his guitar, the famous guitar without the mention of it belonging to a friend or anything, it's not that far of a leap to make. Especially since there wasn't really a "bad guy" yet in the movie and he seemed like a self-absorbed showboat that diffidently had the hubris for such a move.

[@chucktaylor824]

He "guessed" (KNEW) he died from poisoning 😂 and how he immediately knew Hector was his grandfather after his first appearance, and how surely and certain he was when he kept saying it lol He clearly watched this movie before 😂

[@marslara]

​@@chucktaylor824I've seen a lot of their videos, they probably haven't seen it. Most of the time they just say as many as the most out there sounding plot guesses and sometimes they end up right lol But also it's a Disney movie and if you have seen a lot of Disney or just movies in general, it's pretty reasonable to guess that Hector was the actual granddad And hector supposedly dies from "food" poisoning... They clearly had a big falling out. It's really not hard to guess all the twists. Don't get me wrong, this became my favourite Disney movie when I saw it, I don't think being able to predict some of this is bad, it means that the plot threads make sense.

[@wtimmins]

They were so clever with Remember Me. Up until the big reveal, it had always been sung/performed like a schlocky popular song, fast paced and with little depth. And then you realize how much song it was...

[@XC11301991]

I love this movie as it seems at first its the typical "follow your dreams," but instead it develops more in depth that it's fine to have aspirations, but you should never let it replace or get in between your family. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your dreams too, as you can end up missing out on the family and things you have in front of you.

[@BelBelle468]

It’s cuz western ideology advocates for individualism, which would be the “follow your dreams”. But the culture associated with PoC, like Asia, Africa, and Mexico/South America, tend to be more collectivism and family based. Hence, when movies like these come out, they tend to subscribe to the mentality of family and identity within your culture and family and family friends. Most stories about western culture is about breaking tradition, going off on your own, and making your own family, whereas there’s more focus on appreciating/coming together/sticking with family (and family friend groups).

[@XC11301991]

@@BelBelle468 Exactly, it's the only reason why China was willing to air Coco, they normally are very heavy on censorship with anything skull related but the message of the move just weighed in hard that is similar to traditional Asian values.

[@marslara]

@@BelBelle468 I actually think it's more interesting that while the story is definitely under the ideology of family and it's importance, it also makes a point to say that it's not fair to completely do the opposite by not allowing your own happiness for the sake of your family. It's good to understand the balance between the two. His family was wrong to hurt him like that and drove him away, while the other characters were wrong to betray their family for their own gain. You can try your best for your family without making yourself miserable and that family goes both ways, both sides have to put effort into compromise and understanding each other.

[@JorgensZelda]

@@BelBelle468 I mean, yeah, family is great, unless your family hurts you and crushes your individuality to force you into the mold they made for you. This movie is very much about finding a balance and healing your family and yourself. But, if your family can't be healed without you destroying yourself, is no bueno. Luckily, his family was able to find balance as well.

[@AliceBunny05]

​@@JorgensZeldayeah, I think some people who are biased against the individuality structure miss this in favor of highlighting how the movie approves of what they think is right. the movie isn't just about sacrificing your own dreams or aspirations, it's about finding a balance between having a healthy relationship with your family and also having your own aspirations. the movies message is valuable but we need to remember that not everyone is lucky enough to have a family that eventually comes to their senses like miguel's. both him and his family have to undergo a change in mindset, you cannot have this outcome if your family is unwilling to meet you in the middle like his does. collective mentality and individual mentality are both harmful when used alone or at their extremes. one suppresses self expression, making decisions for yourself, and ultimately leading a life you're satisfied with. the other can rob you of important bonds, inspire selfishness and do more harm to everyone involved than you may realize. neither of these mentalities should be used by themselves, we have many real world examples of just how dangerous or toxic things get when a society heavily leans towards only one of these modalities.

It's always messed me up how when Miguel falls into Ernesto's pool, Chicharrón's guitar is taken off to rescue him. It's just left sinking, never to be seen again.

Love your reactions. In mexican folclore (from rural areas) regular animals can see the spirits, thats why dogs bark at empty places, and cats also protects from them. In Aztec and prehispanic mythology the Xoloscuintles (Hairless dogs) guide you to the afterlife. so all that alebrije is a mix of culture into a nice story. And as a long I can say we all mexican love that. And now every one can enjoy and learn these myths.

No, not all the characters died middle aged. Imelda was in her 70s, Rosita was 55-65, Victoria was 62, Oscar and Felipe were in there 70s, Julio was 75, Coco was 100 and Hector was 21.

I really loved how they had the twist on the song Remember Me! Hearing the “popularized version” vs the “emotional version” was such a nice remix/twist, where the pop version just sounds good to sound good without taking into consideration the emotional weight of the lyrics, whereas the emotional version just really hits… emotionally!

[@emboss2397]

Thats a good point, and not just that but they brought up the fact the other dead relatives seems younger where as coco at the end was older. I think they are forgetting that the life expectancy of people around the time hector and Imelda would of been alive wasn't nearly as long as it is today.

[@JorgensZelda]

@@emboss2397 Yeah, between healthcare and better access to adequate food/clean water... People are definitely living longer and healthier lives. Imelda might have lived to sixty or so, still youngish and relatively spry. Mama Coco is easily in her eighties, if not pushing 90 or even 100. And they didn't say what the relatives died of, at what age. Could have died relatively young of stroke, cancer, heart attack, disease...Tetanus from a rusty boot nail?

[@louise.araujo]

@@emboss2397​​⁠​⁠actually, most of them came to the family after Hector’s departure/death (which happened when Coco was really young). Julio was Coco’s husband; Rosita was Julio’s sister; and Victoria was Coco’s daughter (Elena’s sister). The only ones who could have recognized him were Oscar and Felipe (who were Imelda’s brothers), but then again they never get so close that they would be able to see Hector

There's a lot of beautiful details about this movie, but Hector finally wearing shoes at the end does not get nearly enough love.

[@lamapel]

The ending with Coco where she sings is so clever. Of course it's very emotional but it shows something bittersweet. The way music is one of the last things you forget when you have Alzheimers or Dementia. There are many, many real live exaples (if you want to see them and cry while you're at it search for "Alzheimers balarina swan lake" or "Alzheimers moonlight sonata"). And sometimes it even brings back other memories for a short time, like it did for Coco, when she recognised Elena and knew about her Papá.

[@enigma8464]

Man this is one of my favourite disney films of the modern era. Such an emotional movie, and if you understand, or are learning to understand the culture, and language, it's even more beautiful. The fact that everyone in the land of the dead is the same age as when they died is a great touch, but sad when you remember the little kids they also have and shown there (like the little girl and her mum crossing the bridge) the songs are amazing as well of course, and the film was that big of a hit, they even did a live concert at the Hollywood bowl.

While musically it becomes simpler, it becomes tonally more grand as the stories shows us the meaning. Knowing the whole story, the de la Cruz version feels like shallow theatrics by the end.

According to Internet, Hector is dead at 21 years old, Imelda in her 70's and Coco at 100. I had the chance to know one of my maternal great-grandmother, Mémé Marthe (I'm french), when I was a little girl but I don't really remember her because it was when I was 3 or something.

[@YankeeYork]

I think the internet is wrong because Hector didn't seem that young to have died at 21. I think he died when he was between 30-35. Imelda could be right but I'd say she died when she was middle aged

Rest assured these guys were VERY ahead of the ball.

All we really knew was that "this guy wants across the bridge, but can't cross for some reason" and mfer suggested that he was the grandpa!

[@DCComicsGamer]

I was completely bawling in the theater at the last Remember Me (still do now). It's also the way the music brings Coco completely back to life, she's far more coherent and aware than she's been for seemingly all of Miguel's life. All because she also loved music and that was denied her too. Such a great movie.

[@mistertwister2000]

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

Being Mexican American, this movie perfectly captures my culture and preparations for El Dia De Los Muertos (The Day Of The Dead). How we decorate the ofrendas, the music, the lore behind the celebration, everything. What makes this movie so special to me is the concept of family. On my family's ofrenda, one of the pictures we put up is of my paternal grandfather Marcelino. He died when I was in 8th grade (2005) and even now in 2023, it messes me up with emotion. Every day, I wish I could see him face-to-face one last time, give him a big hug and tell him how much I love and miss him. 😢😢😢😢 Also, a slap from a sandal or chancla hurts, specifically on bare skin. That's why they're so feared in Mexican culture, especially when they're wielded by an elder.

[@Christopher_TG]

Pixar really went out of their way to make sure the Mexican cultural representation was done correctly. They even completely rewrote the movie's story when they realized their original concept completely went against the themes and ideas of Dia de Muertos. But possibly my favorite thing they did was they made sure every single cast member was of Latin American descent and was fluent in both English and Spanish. That way they didn't have to change a single cast member when they made the Spanish-language version.

[@GabrielArchon]

That last bit is not factually true. Casting in México and U.S. for this movie is different.

[@franciscojaviermendezrinco1902]

I'm mexican and the day of the death is my favorite festivity because it makes me feel closer to those who passed away, the most recent being my grandma who was a sun in the darkest moments of my life. This movie captures the escence of the festivity perfectly.

[@Celestia282]

I love how this movie is heavily steeped in Mexican culture, but the story is generic and accessible to everyone. This is how you do representation: you write a story for all as an entry point so that they become invested in your culture and learn to appreciate it.

[@M_MoonSun_B]

Here in Mexico is common that people belive that animals can see spirits, that's why Dante could saw all them even when they are death 😊

[@bunnybustard5526]

Probably the reason Hector wouldn't have sought out Imelda is that he would have known she didn't put his picture up on the ofrenda since he couldn't pass over. Thus, he'd know she was PISSED

[@angelaroberts3563]

No. He did try to talk to her. She even said “how many times must I turn you away?!”

[@AliSakurai]

At first, my husband absolutely hated Remember Me because he thought it was gonna be another Let it Go( he hates the frozen series) until the rrue meaning of it was revealed. Now I catch him humming that song whenever he misses his grandparents.

[@MeruHina]

A little context I think might help into why all of their relatives seemed so "young" when they died (might not apply to all Mexico tho) but in my case, my great grandparents died relatively "young" and also I didn't even get to meet one of my grandparents because she passed away when my father was young and you could say I'm more or less on Miguel's parents age group. Also Mexico's Revolution was not that long ago, that might also have something to do with it. And also, life span of people has increased rapidly in recent years, but I can guess more or less the time period in which Miguel's relatives (from Imelda's time) lived and many people back then might have lived until 40 or 50 tops, if you had great genes. So I guess I didn't find it that strange that Miguel's relatives looked more on the younger side in the after life compared to Mama Coco.

[@BelBelle468]

One thing that this movie focuses strongly on is remembering. And how even the bad things should be remembered. Imelda wanted to forget her husband cuz he chose music over family, and she had to keep them financially afloat while caring for a daughter. The grandmother wanted to forget music cuz she learned from her grandmother that it destroyed the family and she wanted to protect her mother who lost her father to music. And of course, Migel didn’t care about being remembered so long as he could do what he wanted. And the all come to realize that they shouldn’t forget the bad things in life, cuz if they do, they risk the loss of something else they loved as well

[@BloodylocksBathory]

For some reason the lone guy jamming to the accordion performance always cracks me up.

[@cuteclau]

I just realized that Hector must have looked up his wife in the afterlife. She said, "How many times must I turn you away?" But, in life, she didn't turn him away.

[@PopeDuwang]

The fact that Coco’s Mom looks like she’s in her Prime likely means she died young. Most likely due to having to provide without Hector and likely had to overwork herself. It’s likely the reason why she blames Music for losing the love of her life and it also creates a bitterness towards Hector….a Bitterness she passed on to her Granddaughter.

[@GabrielArchon]

Mamá Imelda did not die young. Her picture is her young, while she in the land of the dead shows signs of older age, like the gray in the hair and the posture. Also, ladies like her tend to age rather gracefully, to the point where you could believe they are several years younger.

[@PopeDuwang]

@@GabrielArchon That’s fair.

[@audlyartzy2377]

I have small guess, what if their appearance in the world of the dead is meant to reflect their happiness moments in life. Emelda’s would be just after her child was born and her husband was still around, Hector’s when he was just about to see his daughter again, and Coco’s when she realized her father didn’t abandon her.

Something to notice in this movie that some people don’t catch… is that throughout the movie Hector is barefoot… and at the end he’s wearing shoes, his family owns a shoe shop…since Hector is wearing shoes at the end of the movie… it shows that he’s been accepted into the family. ❤

I wondered too why the family seemed to be mostly young looking despite likely dying at a old age. But my theory is that because of the photos the living family uses, those dead simply pick the style to match it so there isn't confusion that it is in fact them. Kinda like how your driver's license or passport, your encouraged to wear a simple style you usually have on so it isn't harder to verify. Like I have long hair and glasses. So I always need to wear my glasses for photos so it doesn't confuse people but I wear my hair up usually for photos since I don't wear it down often. It sounds silly but I did have someone at work stop me one day because they thought I wasn't allowed in a area (I work in a nursing home) just because they had never seen me with my hair down before

So she had a better memory of her Mother, and know that she still knew who she was and loved her. That is one of the worst parts of that disease.

Oh! like before he died or outside of Dia 39:50 Rubato; when they show De la Cruz with the book or page its like-- well, that's certainly not how he's sung it 46:19 aaa if Miguel has just longer arms or faster AAH 52:00 that's gotta be so comforting to finally be able to clear him (either what they were, or the photo but)

Awww dude my bday is Nov 1st: dia de Los muertos, my grandmother is 94, lives with us, and our culture runs deep in the aztec/Catholic traditions of this Mexican holiday. When I say I ugly cried I mean it 😅 I do love that this film so beautifully was able to share some of our culture with others :) (and our unfortunate generational trauma 😅)

[@sopheep]

i know it’s to avoid copyright, but the cutting of your guys’ comments is slightly jarring to hear! people listen to hear your reaction, and we sometimes don’t get complete ones.

[@RedStella28]

I remember watching this movie and that ending tore me apart. Still does to this day. Beautiful movie.

[@zhulimoon46]

You're one of the few reactors that predict the plot twist, DAMN.

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

I'm late but remember when Hector was going to go get a guitar for Miguel, they went to an area where those that are forgotten go to. Hector had been forgotten thus isn't in the part where it's thriving, where those that are remembered are. Mama Imelda and the rest wouldn't have encountered him on a daily, because like in life and death they forgot him. He's never been able to cross over to even see the rest of the family.

[@V_4_Versace]

It was actually Coco who ripped the picture of her father probably when she was too young to realize what that meant to keep a piece of him around so she wouldn’t forget him. Mama Imelda more likely is the one who folded the picture so the guitar wasn’t visible and put it in a fitting frame. It’s implied by the sophistication of folding the picture that it was done by an adult so, the mothers part vs ripping a piece off was done by a kid, so Coco did that - so there wasn’t actually malice. I also think Mama Imelda didn’t “ban” music in her house but it was just hard and sad to hear music after her husband left because it was a hurtful reminder so of course she wouldn’t want any musicians in the family and everyone else just didn’t play music around her in an effort to not hurt her feelings which eventually was turned to the extreme.

Fun fact: 31:04 in the medieval period artists would paint porcupines with food in their quills.

[@Shythalia]

Remember that if you can cross that bridge, then you know what your family looks like every year you visit them.

[@allysonwolf5721]

She was never Petty, she was pissed!

[@ShadowyFox_86]

And hurt. The love of her life just disappeared and everything musical reminded her of him. That's torturous

[@kodytiffany5686]

H man and Cee crying... not common at all. Tell ya the truth I cryed watching this reaction just thinking of the first time I watched the ending.

[@davidmartinez-fe3zr]

Oh.. "The Shawshank Redemption" nod when they are rescued from the cave!

[@shaquithahawkins9334]

Fun Fact: Their was something else you guys supposed to see after the end credits

[@Hickory958]

This was a Pixar movie, guys. Come on now. Disney did Encanto. I'm hoping you do the Fox movie called The Book of Life

[@BoomSentai]

Pixar is owned by Disney. Anything they do is a Disney movie.

[@Hickory958]

@BoomSentai I'm not gonna give credit to Disney when they act as two separate identities tho.

[@BoomSentai]

@@Hickory958 I'll let you fight the good fight. I'm going to just enjoy the movie.

[@Hickory958]

@BoomSentai I'm not fighting anybody, i just had an opinion. I didn't say you couldn't enjoy the movie. I just mean that the studios have two different styles. Like "It's a pixar movie. Did you think it wouldn't make you cry?"

[@PepperPlaysStuffs]

I think the reason Mama Imelda and all the others look relatively young, 50-60, is because the life expectancy back then was much younger, where as, during Miguel's time, it was a more modern era, so Mama Coco lived longer, into her 80's. Hector looks so young because he would have died in his early 30s or mid 20s.

[@YankeeYork]

I strongly agree. I say Imelda was in her 50s and Hector was in his 30s when they died. But Coco's birth year is confirmed to be 1918 so died in her 100s

[@waffleauflauf4213]

A theory I had about why Coco looks how she was when she died is that, once in the land of the dead, they age backwards until they reach around 30-50ish. She just died, so she still looks like how she was when she was alive, but won't be like that for eternity. Idk if it's accurate at all, lol, but it's what I go with

[@Mr4real93]

Love this reaction Kings keep. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ILuvMusic394]

My all time favourite movie ❤

[@jamesrobson8308]

I forgot the colours and the spirits look absolutely amazing

[@gecarreycox376]

This was the best and sad Pixar movie I watched and yeah this is a Pixar movie

[@mellyq92]

I've seen a lot of first time reactions to this movie and this was the first to accurately predict all the twists before they happened. I loved the "I bet de la Cruz killed hector" early on followed by "I was joking That!" At the reveal. I did however find it annoying that the editing kept cutting people off midsentence.

[@krinessacalis]

Your reactions are the best :)

[@noodleydoo2862]

Woahhhh you guessed pretty much every plot twist

[@babyperi6821]

Wow i am watching this one November 1

[@chrisweigum2934]

When Miguel he is running in Place he is a fun guy to having fun with his Great grandmother Coco in the movie Coco

[@ShadowyFox_86]

Funny thing: Dante is the horse sidekick in the De la Cruz movies.

[@NullWorx]

coco's end will always make me cry not lying- im glad you watched this movie! whats next moana................

[@GalaxC13]

This movie makes me cry so hard every time.

[@Kookiepookie2025]

It's like impossible for me to not cry every time I watch this damn🥺

[@anyathepanther7977]

I both love and hate this Movie. It is all about Memorys and remembering your Loved Ones.... well, my Grandpa had Dementia, evolving into Alzheimer. That hurt more than his Death.

[@BoomSentai]

Grandma had dementia, I understand your pain.
