The thing about dementia and alzheimers is that music is stored in a separate part of the brain than their memories, so the only thing that would help Coco remember was her father's song for her and her family denying her the music kept her fading further and further from them. My mom had dementia and music was one of the only ways we were able to communicate with her later in her disease.

It’s confirmed on the voice actor‘s wikipedia page

I live near a cemetery in Mexico, and when Día de los Muertos rolls in, the whole place transforms. The cemetery is overflowing with flowers, food, music and people. To some, it sounds creepy- but it is so special to have our loved ones who are no longer with us visit the world of the living. The "La Llorona" song is an old Mexican folklore song, and the version by Chavela Vargas is so romantic.

I was rewatching this movie recently and a sad detail I noticed before but never really appreciated was that Imelda has a gray streak in her hair and an older, raspy voice while Hector still has the voice of a young man since he died much earlier than her.

This movie is literally everything to me. Not long after my mother passed away in 2018, I met my beautiful mexican wife. We watched this for the first time together, and I couldn't help but cry my eyes out, but what she did was truly breathtaking for me. She held me in her arms and said she wanted to honour my mum on her ofrenda. That she wanted to do this for me was just mindblowing. I was in such a dark place in my life and Maria literally made my life so much brighter since the second i met her. Me and Maria are still going as strong as ever in our relationship. She is my whole universe and I am blessed every single day I get to wake beside her. When I proposed to her I played the song at the end of the movie "proud corazón" on the guitar and sang it to her in Spanish. She is my proud heart.

as a proud mexican girly, thank you for expressing your love for the story and our culture!!! love you, chu 💓

This movie inspired me to make an ofrenda for my family for Dia de los Muertos. The tradition brings a lot of comfort to honoring those families members who are no longer with us. So glad you finally watched it! Great review Chu!

So I am a Colombian girly and while Coco is based off Mexican cultures, the Latiné pride shines through. Encanto DESTROYED me though cause it IS about Colombians and has some scenes and themes that hit way too close to home, I still cannot watch it without crying (also BANGER songs! by Lin Manual Miranda). I highly recommend Encanto even though it's different from Coco. It definitely sings Colombia's praises and beauty as a culture and country ❤❤❤❤🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

The writing of this movie was really something else, like the plot twist and the MURDER?! I live for the drama

13:37 yeah the dog is not just any dog, it’s a Xoloitzcuintle and the Aztecs believed this dogs guide us to the other side (or the Mictlan) when we die, that’s why Dante can see Miguel and cross the bridge

this was one of the first family centric film that actually made me feel something. incredible

Lmao i forgive you. Thank you for finally watching ❤ this movie makes me sob everytime because i immediately think of our forgotten elders especially as African people. Colonialism took so much from us. I can't help but be sad about the fact that so many of us don't know our great grandparents because all that history is gone

If you haven’t seen Encanto or Up those are great heartwarming movies

Abuela is spanish which is spoken in mexico and other latino countries. They use quite a bit of spanish in this movie.

Preparing myself again, first time I watched Coco I was in tears 😢

So happy I found your channel this year. You’re definitely one of my comfort channels❤️

I can never watch this without crying!!! We watch it every year for Dios De La Muertos :)

Yes! The best video to come home to watch ❤. This is definitely the best movie to end the year it's just so beautiful and made me cry so much.

I love CoCo! It's so good. I laughed, I danced, I cried, I got mad because how you ban music...MUSIC! Music is life, baby. We don't do that. lol. Not to mention, they threw in a mystery element! And it's gorgeous. Side note: A Saltburn reaction would be gaggy! So though I know you're still thinking about it, I hope you do one.

i always tear up no matter how many times i watch this, it's so beautiful

Movie in a similar vein I would say is Over the Moon. Didn’t get the love it deserved when it came out, but is a beautiful story about grief. Especially when you read the background on the writer and why they wrote the story (which is heartbreaking)

Another great reaction Chu! Coco is such an amazing movie. If you love this I HIGHLY recommend watching Encanto, that’s such a magical movie as well.

If you want a really good Christmas movie to react to, even though it's after Christmas, I recommend Klaus. It was hand animated in 2D, but fed through a computer for the lighting and particle effects, which gives it a very unique feel, but it's gorgeous all the same. It's basically a Santa origin story, and it's very emotional. I honestly believe that the only reason it lost the Academy Award to Toy Story 4 is because TS4 had nostalgia behind it. But Klaus is honestly the better movie in my eyes.

chu trying to figure out the difference between mexican latino and spanish has me in tearsss

If you liked Coco, you should watch The Book of Life. (If you haven't already) it has a similar story to Coco, but it was made before Coco

Chu watching Coco , an extra Christmas present!

This movie is visually beautiful and so emotional. I remember having a headache from crying so much! Lol. Happy new year Chu! ❤❤❤

This is one of my favorite movies, and i love it even more seeing your reaction. Thank you for sharing. My grandfather has Alzheimer's and cannot hold much of a conversation anymore. During a hospital stay, I sang Baptist hymns to him as eh used to be very active in the church. He lit up and sang along. The effect music has on the brain is fascinating.

It's a great message about death.

A guaranteed tear jerker 😢

abuelita is mexican, latino *and* spanish. lol, I really wished disney would have kept all the spanish words, but put subtitles for them so my non spanish peaking friends could understand them.

😂 Jennifer Lopez catching a stray.

The book of life is the inspiration for coco I think and I also think you would like it if you watched❤the music is amazing 😊

Had me crying all over again 😭

One thing that is clever is that Remember Me was the most popular song in the film and Coco wouldn't remember her father due to her mom and family banning music. But I think it is a plothole that Imelda didn't catch on that Hector wasn't with Ernesto anymore and didn't ask questions

the way i think of this is if ernesto and hector were famous, and eventually just ernesto, that back then in their times it was very hard to be able to afford tvs and stuff, especially as a single mother, so she might've actually never seen him if she spent most of her time working for a living. or she could've assumed they broken up the mariachi and went to do his own thing too.

I know that no one cares but, this movie is so personal bc this happened to my family. A famous guy stole my great grandpas song and became famous bc of it and no one remembered him, he even used to compose music for my grandma, like- he literally made a song for every daughter he had :”) anyways at least all my family remembers that my great grandpa Trini Ríos composed Noche No Te Vayas💖

i know this is like 5 months in but fun fact! dante isn't JUST a dog. dante is a xoloitzcuintli dog (xolo for short). they are dogs native to mexico and are said to be spirit guide dogs. in ancient times they would be buried with their owners to help guide them into the underworld. thats why dante was able to see miguel in his muerto form, he was quite literally guiding him. and since these dogs are intelligent and mischievous, we call our kids "escuincles" when they're being troublesome too. the more you know :)

I loved this reaction so so much Chu!! As for more animation recs like this movie; I think you'll love Brother Bear, Emperor's New Groove and Atlantis - all have great stories with amazing music and heart!! If you want somethibg very similar to Coco's storyline; the Book of Life is also showcases Latino culture and is about the afterlife

Please watch Anastasia, such stunning music and an amazing story!!!

Mama Imelda is voiced by the actress who plays Cassie’s mom in euphoria, the literally gorgeous and sweet Alanna Ubach. She was also in Legally Blonde omfg She’s awesome and she can sing

Alanna Ubach voiced Mama Imelda and slayed down! I was shook when I found out, I had no idea she had Mexican heritage.

dude, an old spanish teacher of mine went to a village for day of the dead and went to the cemetery to investigate, later after everyone from the village left, a kid told him that the spirits would prefer to be left alone, he was halfway to the village when he realized, there was no one, not even the kids from the village, who spoke english, guess what that meant

Thank you for reacting to this movie. It showcased Mexican culture so beautifully. Happy new year Chu.

On gawd this is the best Coco reaction I've seen. Amazing. Subbed for sure.

Idk if u already reacted to this but u should watch The Book of Life it’s kinda like Coco but it’s the original and Maria ate the entire movie (also loved ur reaction ❤❤❤)

There were three separate times in this video that I was so sure Chu was going to put in the "Ricky, when I catch you Ricky" clip only for him not to

A win is a win! Great reaction and happy early new years. Thanks for all the great reactions you've done for us!

So glad you got to this one! Btw, if you're looking for an excellent 2D animated film that's super gorgeous, heartwarming, featuring beautiful cultural elements and not too long, I would highly suggest WOLFWALKERS! It's an underrated gem for sure, and universally acclaimed by just about everyone who saw it.

Thank you Chu for making this year wonderful with your videos ❤️❤️
