That scene with Coco singing along always gets me. My grandpa had Alzheimer's. Towards the end he didn't remember me, or my mother, or my grandmother, his wife of 60 years.

Also, here in Mexico, we’ve been told that the idea of the afterlife of ancient cultures from here, is that dogs can guide us to heaven or hell depending on how good or bad we were, thus changing the look of the dog, like a guardian who tells you were to go and a mirror of your actions in life (or the dogs you use to have as pets) That dog is a xoloitzcuintle, a kind of dog related to that believing

Yup, Simone’s right-it’s their age when they died, not the age in the photo. Mama Imelda is significantly older as a skeleton than she was in her photo on the ofrenda. It makes sense to use photos that are as recent as possible, though, especially when you consider the facial recognition machines. Otherwise you could argue that Mama Coco was already represented on there as a little girl.

@@snake698 We don’t know Imelda’s cause of death, as far as I’m aware, only that she died “way before” Miguel was born. Miguel doesn’t specify exactly when she died either, but he did say she roped her grandchildren into the business (Elena and Victoria). I rewatched the intro a few times to see what I could puzzle out, but the paper flags embellished the story a fair bit-the first time her grandchildren were introduced, for example, the flag showed three kids, even though she only had two. So I still think it’s a fair assumption to say that the age of the skeletons matches the age that they died. Imelda’s skeleton reads like mid-50s, for example, which makes sense if both she and Coco had children young. It’s strongly implied that she wasn’t around to see her great grandchildren born (Miguel’s parents’ generation). As for why the land of the dead didn’t seem to be filled with geriatrics… I assume it was mostly so that the place would feel vibrant and alive (ha), but also, up until recently, a lot of people died a lot sooner. Seems to me Coco was the first one in her family to live to really old age.

I'm so glad you reacted to this movie. I am a recently retired High School Spanish teacher and this is a movie that I regularly showed to my classes for the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos. (Usually with the Spanish audio track and English subtitles to support the kids understanding of the plot while hearing the target language.) It's a good thing I showed it in a darkened room because I cry every time I watch it. Great Grandma Coco reminds me of my own Grandma. She sort of looks like my Grandma and I moved in with her when I was 16 to take care of her while she had cancer. I played my guitar for her and even at the very end, when she was in a coma for about a week, when I played my guitar, she got a slight smile on her face. I knew she was aware that I was by her side and she was not alone.

It's a perfect family film for a hateful family. If you love your children, you should never burden them with even the idea that having an interest can be something than can be crushed into the dust because of one bad experience.

The grandeur of your afterlife doesnt depend on your life's success in this movie. Its about the sheer numbers of people who remember you. Doesnt have to be family. Ernesto was all set in yhe afterlife because literally millions of people had him on the ofrenda with an offering. All of that being said, this movie is nearly perfect in terms of representing my mexican culture. Pixar sent their artists down to mexico to study architecture, culture, and talk to the people. Thats why its so good. The only thing they fudged were the alebrijes, the animal spirits. those were invented in the 1940s as just pieces of art in figurine form but they caught on so hard in mexican culture that pixar wanted to include them in the movie so they folded them into the afterlife. In reality alebrijes dont really have anything to do with our afterlife beliefs. Theyre just really cool art pieces.

I remember first time I watched Coco. I'd been dating my beautiful Mexican girlfriend (now my wife) for a few months. We started off as a long distance relationship. Her in México me in UK. When my mum died she was there for me, not in person but in my heart which meant the world for me. I'd told her I'd seen this movie after mum passed, and I cried during the movie, then my girlfriend said send me a happy picture of your mum and I will put in on ofrenda for Día de Muertos so she could remember her and pay tribute It hit my heart so much. Maria Really is the best that's ever happened to me and I love and adore her with all my heart and soul. When I proposed to her I played her "Proud Corazón" (proud heart), the song at the end of the movie, to her on the guitar and I learned the lyrics for her in spanish. She brings so much light into my life everyday. Such a beautiful reaction to a beautiful movie. Thank you.

18:55 It is actually the third death. In Mexico we believe you die three times. The first death is when you die physically. The second death is the last time someone sees you, or your body. (Even though first and second deaths can switch order). The third and final death is when you're not remembered anymore. And I think that's one of the most important things the movie explains, you truly die when there's no one who can remember you. And also, the age you remain in the land of the dead is the age the people remember you. For example, Coco has two pictures of herself in the ofrenda, when she's old and when she was a tiny little girl. The mexican celebrities that appear in the movie remain the age people remember them because of their movies, like María Félix, in the movie she's young and beautiful even though she died as an adult lady. Loved your reaction to this movie!!

Fun fact: The Day of the Dead used to be a month long celebration that occurred after the summer solstice. It's an ancient celebration that the Spanish tried very hard to obliterate but obviously had no success. Instead, they moved the date to the day after all hallows eve in order to absorb it into their christian holidays to further convert the mesoamericans to catholicism. I think it's so interesting how such vastly different cultures from different parts of the world - no contact and oceans away - can have somewhat similar festivals celebrating their passed loved ones. It's all about remembering, and partying with, the people you love that aren't around anymore.

Verse, means that he's ACTUALLY singing to his little girl! It's my favorite piece of behind-the-scenes tribute this movie. It makes it so much more amazing and I love it!

It's sort of a fan cannon that email they made them for him, because he's been accepted back in the family, I've shoemakers. Also, I don't know your names, but the girl was right. The skeletons look as they died. That's why I thought I saw Young, and Imelda is older. Hector that died when he was 21. What I find amazing about this, is that, he also died in 1921, because he was born in 1900, and, because Ernesto died in 1942, that means he got 21 years of fame, which is karma bitch! You got the amount of fame that your best friend got to live! Also super sad that Imelda had to live whole life,mand longer, believing her, "love of my life," up an abandoned her, when you leave he was murdered. And then, of course, Coco, never got to see her dad again, supposedly being told that he left them. The man waited almost 100 years to see his daughter again! All he wanted was to see his daughter!

Hector didn't tell Emelda what happened because as far as he knew he died of food poisoning whilst on the road. So to him he felt like it was karma for being selfish enough to be away from his family in the first place.

Fun fact: the dog in the movie is a xoloitzcuintli (hairless Mexican dog) its an ancient breed of dog which the Aztecs, Mayan, and Toltecs believed to be sacred because they guided the souls of the death through the underworld. That's why the dog is able to go into the dead world in the movie.

My mum passed away last year (2021) from dementia. She was 92 years old. I was her carer for the last five years of her life. Coco sitting there so unresponsive was very reminiscent of mum in her final years. As a young woman she loved to sing in her old age the sound of music always managed to bring a spark to her eyes and her lips would form a smile. I must admit the ending brought a tear to my eye. R.I.P. mamma.

The Day of the Dead has significant elements from pre-Spanish native cultures of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico. It's not a macabre thing, but a celebration of loved ones' lives.

Definitely one of the sweetest and genuine cries I’ve seen on this channel! And that was definitely how we all reacted to Coco, even to his day!

I took my family on opening day for this film and I came out of the movie theater crying. It felt like the movie was based off my own life experiences. Parents not happy with my choice of being an artist, The love I have for my family, the loved ones I have lost and my love for my grandmother who supported my dreams. It was like going into therapy and all my inner demons were out in the open. A month later I started to have therapy sessions with a psychologist. It helped tremendously. Thank you for sharing your experience watching this awesome film. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I have.

Every year on his death day I go to our favorite bar, pour 2 shots, one for me and one for him and the bartenders know not to take his glass till closing time. One year I went in later in the day and saw a stack of shot glasses stacked up next to his. It’s a tradition for a few of us that knew him to go in and grab a drink with him. Always makes me cry grabbing a drink with my old friend. Picked up the tradition after watching hector take the shot with his friend.

I remember working in a movie theater when this came out. I remember one family that came out of it, and the grandmother was openly weeping.

As a Rivera we do shine shoes.

Since it is all based on being remembered, it makes sense you would look like how you are remembered, vs how you died.

I always enjoy watching you guys react to movies. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great content!

This was such a well thought out film, and you can see by how invested Simone & George are (if you've watch it, a lot of people, including my sensitive bawling self, had a reaction like that to Miguel & Grandmother Coco singing together) at 33:04 . Especially where, despite having the scene muted, whether you've heard this gorgeous song or not , it's so difficult to resist one of the best emotionally pulling scenes out of any animated film or even live action film within the last decade.

So glad that you two watch animated movies, too - it's one of the main reasons I subscribe (there are other reasons to be sure, including the fact that you two have great chemistry together). Being a 52-year old animation junkie, it just brings me so much joy. I could recommend many other animated movies to check out - many of which would be from Pixar/Studio Ghibli/Disney/Dreamworks - and you will often not go wrong with them. However, I'll give you three recommendations that are NOT from those studios: "The Iron Giant", "The Lego Movie" and "Spiderman - Into The Spiderverse". SIDE NOTE: "The Iron Giant" was directed by Brad Bird, who would later go on to direct "The Incredibles" - arguably the best Pixar movie ever.

Seconding this. Into the Spiderverse was such a visual spectacle to watch and so brilliantly drawn and animated. From Ghibli, Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro come to mind immediately. Grave of the Fireflies if you're brave enough

Ghibli is unfortunately off-limits for reactors since channels have actually been shut down for copyright claims for Ghibli movies.

Some of the effects in this film remind me of the film Beetlejuice for some reason; I highly recommend that one.

Now that you mentioned Beetlejuice, the second death in Coco reminds me of the lost souls room in Beetlejuice for souls that were exorcised which was mentioned by the janitor as "death for the dead". Makes me wonder if there is a forgotten souls room in the Land of the Dead.

There's a saying that you die twice: once when you leave the world of the living and second when no one alive remembers you

This movie is a pure diamond ! And they represent the Mexican's culture so well. I Remember this movie for sure all my life.

I had friends coming over to watch this film. They also cried in the third act of the film. Your guys' reactions to any of my favorite movies are just priceless.

Does anyone else want to give poor Simone a hug at the end of this? 🥰

I have a play Playlist for whenever I need a good cry and the coco remembering scene is on it. It literally never fails to get tears in mt eyes

Ha, ha, I'm barely into the video but I loved that Simone's active viewing behavior is betraying her. It's one of my favorite sensations in my brain to "figure it out" and be shown a legitimate non-cheaty way the story was a lot more complex than I thought.

same. I thought I was so smart in the beginning of the film to have "figured out", the famous guy has to be his ancestor 😅

Simone is totally wrecked in this one. Love the reaction being so real to this movie.

The dog follows Miguel into the afterlife because it's a xolo, long considered guides to the dead on their journey into the underworld.

‘Up’ blindsides you in the first 10 minutes. ‘Coco’ lures you in and then crushes you at the end. No one gets out of this one unscathed.

The Land of the Dead runs on Memories. It is not exactly riches that makes you higher class... though there is correlation of fame/fortune and being remembered, but not required. Little notes: All the tech in the Land of the Dead is dead tech (old computer, old style phones etc). When we first see Dante he was in the trash can next to the table of Alebrije toys, hinting at his transformation later. When Imelda is singing "La Llarona" a the end, walking down the stairs, she sings the part "Te Quererte" looking at Hector - literal translation it means "You I want", but in actual spoken Spanish its meaning is "You I love" or "Love You" symbolizing that she never stopped loving him. One thing that gets me the most is the end where Hector finally crosses the flower bridge. Only 2 characters acknowledge the bridge in the movie: Miguel and Hector connecting them in more than just music and blood. All the family who have been there, the other skeletons crossing, even the security at the bridge do not acknowledge the bridge... not even Coco at the end, her first Day of the Dead and first crossing, did not look at the bridge. Hector has been trying to cross the bridge for decades. At the end as he finally is able to cross, he looks at it and I swear, you can see a little sigh come from him as he crosses. Kills me every time.

Something i just noticed is that when Miguel and his family are crossing the bridge, there's a little girl pointing at Miguel and the mother tells her it's bad to point at people, at first i was like "ha, fun joke, little girl pointing", then i was like "wait a sec, BOTH ARE DEAD!!!!!" i kinda wonder how did that mother and daughter die? And now as i'm writing this i can't help but think about all the background characters of all ages, that's attention to detail!

Simone is like Baby Yoda. They both make sounds that poke my heart button.

Can we give props to the mariachi at the beginning who was willing to give Miguel the guitar to let him play an example. People believing in you can spark the idea that you can do more than you've tried.

My Grandma was a musician, multi instrumentalist, and a painter. It was hard watching her fading away not remembering her skills, but somehow comforting knowing she's back with my Grandpa. I am proud to say, she gave me her best painting in exchange for the promise of never selling it.

#1: How old they r in the Lotd is based on what age they died. Imelda was in her 70s, Hector was 21 and Coco was 100. #2: Miguel’s baby sis was named Socorro Rivera, which is Mama Coco’s real name, so they named her after Coco

Saw this movie before I lost my dad, and after. It certainly hits differently nowadays. As long as you remember, they will never die. Great reaction

Just for the record, alibrijes weren't just made up for this movie. They're actual folklore creatures - one of the most recent to be conceived, originating from an artist who spent a long time in a coma, dreamed of colorful animals during that coma, heard them call themselves "alibrijes", and made art of them after he awoke.

im really happy that more foreigners can know more about my culture, im really thankful honestly this is a really accurate movie

It’s always fun to see the dynamic between these 2. Simone is completely broken and balling her eyes out at the heartfelt moment of the scenes, while George is just quickly trying to figure out the logic of how everything works and fits together 😂

The dog is a breed that is native to Mexico 🇲🇽. I can’t remember the name of the breed though. In ancient times they believed that breed was a spirit animal.

Amazing how at there ultimate highest peak of storytelling like UP they can tell the whole story in the first 15min and give u all the emotions

The animation in this movie is simply stunning. My jaw dropped the first time I saw the City of the Dead on the big screen.

Ffs...the second Hectór started singing remember me, I'm effing bawling again

George, Coco is also in the family photo at the top with Mama Imelda as a child, but she didn't show up in the afterlife as a child. They show up as the age they are when they die.

67 year old male. This one makes me cry every time. I barely remember my grandparents, let alone those before them.

Coco takes two more for the count. As someone who is hispanic and from Texas here in the states, this movie hit HARD. Can you imagine theaters full of hispanic families watching it for the first time? There wasn’t a dry eye anywhere! Loved yalls reaction, thanks for sharing it!

The reason hector doesn’t explain himself in the afterlife is because he didn’t know that he was murdered

Thank you for "getting" this movie!

After watching the movie you can realize that the creators were telling us from the very beginning who was the bad guy. If you see the guitar in Ernesto's mausoleum you can notice that it has one painted tooth in the headstock, just like Hector has a gold tooth.

I am a 56 year old biker. I cry every time I see that movie. Don't tell my biker brothers ok? Great reaction you two!

Simone I had exactly the same reaction the first time I watched this, and I never cry. Beautiful ending.

This is such a beautiful movie. It is just incredible, and your reaction was equally as beautiful. Hopefully Simone recovers okay, this one ends was an emotional bang that is hard to match.

Just turned 21 and this is still my favorite Disney Pixar movie to date😁🔥

Aww your cat comforting u when crying 😿. Brilliant film , made me cry as well . Was a surprise for me as I knew nothing about it , really happy I took the risk
