Cultural fact about Dante the dog: the breed is called Xoloitzcuintle. According to the myth, they'll be your guide to the afterlife, if you treat them well in life.
Love these little additions. I should pay more attention to special features- I’m sure they explain some of these things. Makes you appreciate the effort so much more.
I remember my grandfather treating his pets well because he did believe this that was transmitted to him . He would tell us our that depending on how well we treat our pets they will guide us to the afterlife.
@@danielgomez1703 you need a dog to cross the xiconohuapa river, if you mistreated a dog when you were alive youre not gonna be able to cross and get to the mictlan
As a Mexican this movie is my all time favorite movie of all Pixar history the easter eggs and small details of Mexican culture and history is just beautiful and magic. It hits me more now after loosing my grandfather while the other has Alzheimer's like mama coco
I'm Polish and it's also my favorite movie. I've watched it many times and I cried every time. In Poland we also have the Day of the Dead and our cemeteries are full of candles, but remembering our dead loved ones is rather sad and quiet. I think that your tradition is beautiful and amazing. Every country has different traditions and that's wonderful. Greetings :)
I am Mexican as well and while I also had a Grandma that had Alzheimer's, what struck a bigger chord with me was to see literally ME on screen in a Disney movie. My name is Michael and my parents would call me Miguel sometimes. But I looked just like Miguel growing up - and what do you know....I learned to play guitar later on. The representation in this movie is so great. I am over 30 years old and love this movie and what it can mean for little Mexican/Latino children to see themselves on the big screen and how cool it is for other nationalities to get a glimpse into this culture.
@@Neo6364 haha, my old name is similar and my brother used to call me "Miguel" when we were kids (I changed it to Mischa cuz it's more gender neutral than Miguel/Michael or the feminine equivalents). I'm chicana, my grandpa immigrated from Mexico and I play guitar too :)
My favorite details are at the end of the movie. But notice that when Hector finally walks across the bridge with the rest of them hand in hand, he's wearing shoes. They made him those to welcome him back in to the family. And his clothes are repaired and cleaner than before. Not only that, but because he's not being forgotten, he's walking straighter and less dangly like he was when he first met Miguel and Miguel was imitating his walk.
This movie literally means the world to me. Not long after my mum passed in 2018 I met my then girlfriend (now my wife) who is Mexican. This was the first movie that we watched together and it made me cry because all I could think of was my mum's passing. She was so sweet to me and cuddled me. Then she said if I had a picture of my mum so she could put it on her ofrenda so she could honour her on Día de Muertos (which was only a week away from when we watched the movie). I just melted that she would want to do that. Now that we are married, we always make up our own ofrenda every year and celebrate Día de Muertos. It's a beautiful tradition that we happily celebrate every year together and watch Coco In a way this movie brought us closer together in our early stages of our relationship and I don't know what I'd ever do without the live of my life by my side, and for all that, this movie will always have a special place in my heart.
One of the things I loved was Coco herself. She went thru life with her family trying to forget her Papa, seeing nothing but hate and resentment toward him, but she never forgot. She always remembered the love he showed her and the songs he sang.
By the way you could tell Ernesto was not his great great grandfather as the leaf doesn't even light up when he is giving his blessing to Miguel. Such attention to detail from Pixar artists
Actually. Someone who has worked in this movie said that it could have actually worked since they both considered themselves family. That alone would have been enough for the Leaf to glow but that was lost since Miguel found out the truth.
This movie hits harder now than it ever has for me before. Before the reverence and beauty it treats my mexican heritage with was enough to bring me to tears but now I have a new connection to it. My grandfather passed away a year ago from stomach cancer. He also had dementia at the same time. Mercifully, it did not get bad enough for him to permanently lose the ability to identify his family but we could see his memories and his mind starting to go and it was hard. My way of remembering him is by writing and making films. He is the reason I love movies in the first place. As long as I can hold a camera I can hold onto his memory. Mama Coco reminds me of my great grandmother. At the time of posting this comment she's 100 years old. Last time i visited, I poked my head into her room to check on her while my mom was chatting with her and she looked at me and gave me the most adorable smile. This woman hasn't had the easiest life and she's serious as the grave so getting that smile from her is going to be a memory that sticks long after she's gone.
Yea I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's disease and she didn't know any of us by the time she passed. It was heartbreaking. This movie makes me think about my grandmother's who are no longer here. This movie and the Mexican culture is absolutely beautiful.
This movie is a love letter to Mexico and its Day of the dead traditions. The movie is super respectful of them and has tons of easter eggs of Mexican culture. One of my favorite movies.
I lost my grandma back in 2017 to Alzheimer’s. But one way that we were always able to connect with her was music. We used to sing silent night as a family, and she would sing with us. By far my favorite Pixar movie!
So sorry to hear about your grandma!!!! :( Grannies are so very special, well as any family member is. I lost my grandma in 2017 as well. It was a very hard year. Maybe they're sharing stories right now, eating and drinking their favorite foods and beverages, listening to people sing their favorite songs.
Soy mexicano y me siento orgulloso de mis tradiciones, saber que el mundo entiende y comprende el significado de esto me alegra... Saludos y bendiciones 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Magy magy magy. I missed your pure soul. You made me cry again watching Coco. Your reaction was so heartfelt and joyous. Also, the amazement on your face, when your saw the afterlife with all, is colors and vibrant visuals just warmed my heart so much. You are the best. We really missed you.
As someone of Mexican heritage, this movie always makes me cry. Especially because Coco looks and sounds just like my great grandma who passed away at 102 years old. She had the same wrinkles, hair, expressions, and smile. She was an incredible woman.
@@Freetown00 To me, it seems like once you live to be 80, then you'll live to be 100. My grandmother is 93 and only just recently had to go into assisted living. She's still perfectly lucid, but she's too physically frail to take care of her needs. Still as vibrant and full of life as she was in her prime, though.
Coco is my favorite Pixar movie! My grandmother had Alzheimer's in the last few years of her life, so Miguel singing "Remember Me" to Coco to help her remember Hector really touched me. I also loved the parts that did touch on Hector and Imelda rebuilding their relationship. It definitely was realistic that she couldn't bring herself to immediately forgive him even with the reveal that he had been murdered trying to come home. It didn't change the fact that he left in the first place and she likely had to endure a lot of hardships because of it. Thankfully Hector recognized that and apologized to Imelda for it. By the time they share that kiss and dance together in the epilogue, you can probably tell that they have had plenty of time to talk things out.
Omg I relate 100000% I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's and it was devastating. This movie absolutely got to me in such a way that no other movie has ever. I love coco, it's my all time favorite movie of all time. Such a beautiful culture and movie
My grandfather was the same way with the song O Danny Boy. Even as the memory fades, music is forever. If you don't cry when Mama Coco sings and then recognizes her family members, something is wrong with you.
I watched this movie on a plane on the way to a funeral for my wife's amazing uncle. It made the trip easier. Great story, music...and the animation is stunning. This movie also helped me appreciate the beauty of dia de los muertos.
As a mexican I can say, this movie shows perfectly and exactly what the day of the death means for us. The first time I saw this movie, when Remember me plays, I break, at first because I was reminded of an aunt I lpved when I was five, now, early this year, my grandma passed away and watching this video in that scene, I couldn't stop but think of her. There was a lot I wanted to tell her before she passed away, she was literally the sun in my darkest times, at least I know I was her favorite grandson untill the end and when she asked me to stop taking care of her I always told her she took care of me and now was time for me to take care of her. I knew her passing was for the best, but still, each time I pass by her old room, I look at the bed like she was still there. Sorry for this being so long, I had to vent a little, I even teared up a bit writing this.
I blubber like a little girl every time I see this. We know that music has the power to bring back memories, to give life to old people who otherwise go through their final days in a stupor. That moment when Coco's fingers start moving and she wakes up? Just beautiful.
I have such a Pavlovian response that kicks in during this movie. By the fourth note in "Remember Me" I start tearing up every single time. I don't know another movie, Pixar or otherwise, that so consistently kicks me straight in the feels.
One wee detail that hints that Ernesto is not related to Miguel: when he prepares to give Miguel his blessing, the flower petal does not shine, while it shines each time when one of the family does so
One of scenarists say it could have worked out cuz they both believed they are family but as Miguel knew that his family was Hector it didn’t work. I saw it on RUclips shorts, but I don’t fully believe it, what do you think?
I'll never forget how this movie made my strong, tall, loud, Mexican dad cry. I looove how Pixar is telling stories from a variety of different cultures.
The part that broke me in this movie was when Hector sang to Coco to say goodbye. I feel like there's this hidden meaning that no one takes into account, but for many years people flocked from Mexico. I myself emigrated from Mexico twice (and came back twice, I love my motherland) and fathers leaving their sons and daughters to support them from the United States is a reality that a lot of Mexicans have gone through. I remember the day, when I was 4, when I saw my father walking away from home with luggage. I asked my mom where he was going, and she said "very far away, who knows when you'll see him again". In the end, one year later when I was already 6 my mom, my sister and I risked our lives crossing the Dead Desert to see my dad again. Soooooo many Mexicans have gone through this, and I can't help but feel that that scene where Hector sings to Coco is meant to represent migration. I just haven't seen a single person comment about this, so if anyone has felt the same, please tell me, otherwise I'll finally be convinced I've gone mad.
This movie hits me very hard every time. My wife is from Mexico and she taught me all about dia de los muertos and we always celebrate her holidays as well as my own together and it makes our family feel so special. I cry like a little baby at the ending every time. Funny fact I just got done watching this movie yesterday and then saw a notification that you had uploaded this 27 min prior to me watching and I laughed out loud how funny the coincidence was. Anyways I think you should definitely do more. These movies share a special place in everyone’s heart and they are so warming and enjoyable no matter what age or background you come from. Thank you again for an amazing reaction as always. Видимо се касније Маги!
I always cry when I see the movie even though it has a perfect ending. It’s kinda feeling like that Miguel's family really get together, both the dead and the alive. But in the real world we never know if the dead can come back until we die. How I wish the land of the dead really exists 🥺and what I can do now is to keep the belief that they are always with me as long as I remember them 🥰
what gets me EVERY TIME is that throu the entire movie Hector is the only one without shoes and their entire family is shoemakers, in the end when you see them all walf hand in hand over the bridge Hector has brand new shoes T_T . signifying that he has truely been welcomed back in to the family T_T.
This movie came out the same year that I lost my dad, who was also a musician, so this movie hit me so hard. I love it so much, though. It's really beautiful. I'm not Mexican, but I love how it presented those traditions in such a real emotional way so that we can connect to the story and the characters even if it's not our culture.
Inside Out progresses like Coco in terms of character development. Tears reserved until the end. If you want it the other way around, Up is also great. If you're feeling adventurous, anime has a long list of movies ranging from light to heavy drama.
I’m Mexican and I’m so proud of our traditions. Coco is probably my favorite Pixar movie (besides to Inside Out). The movie have a lot of references to this celebration, a Mexican and world culture around the dead (for example, the dog name Dante is a reference to the book “Inferno” of the Italian writer Dante Alighieri), and all the people that saw Coco cry a lot. In fact, you can find a lot of movies about Day of the dead but this is the best one. I love your reactions Maggy! When you cry my heart break. Fact: At the end of the credits, you can see a collage with the photos of the families of the cast who passed away and since Coco, every year Pixar studios make their own ofrenda to homage for the families of all the workers of the studio.
I will never fail to cry as Miguel singing to Mama Coco. This is my third favorite movie of all time, with second being Amadeus and first is The Princess Bride.
Coco Rules!!!!, as a mexican i love it because it transmit the way we see dead, someone said to me once "our food is so good that we comeback from the dead every year just to keep eating" :P im happy you enjoied it :D
One of favorite movie that Disney were able to do. I personally enjoyed the way they covered everything with Mexican culture from El Santo cameo to the backstory.
My favorite detail in this that is so subtle but also not?? Is that Imelda and Héctor are the only ones in the whole cast wearing purple. Hinting that they’re the family patriarchs. 😭💖
I really enjoyed the first time I watched this movie and now I remember that scene from mama Coco singing along and I broke in tears again thanks for your reaction and I'm so happy you enjoyed and liked it too, it's my first time here in your channel too and now you have a new subscriber 😊
The setups and payoffs in this film are second to none. The visuals, which you mentioned, are amazing. The depth of the world is so profound and relayed through showing events in-world (like Hector being unable to cross the bridge) rather than exposition. It's just a class act movie.
There is a part of Mexico, Oaxaca, that makes colourful, carved wooden animal figures just like the ones in the film. I have a hare figure from there that my late wife bought me and it is a treasured possession.
The Xoloizcuintle breed (like Dante) are really appreciated here in Mexico because there is a myth that says that once you die, they will guide you through the Mictlan, this was like the underworld for the Aztec culture.
Mama Coco reminded me of my Great-grandma Elsa, she passed away at almost 101 years old. She used to remember song from her childhood that her dad sung to her, and also the ones people used to sing when Italy attempted to getting rid of f4scism (1943-1945). Great grandma was attacked to the photos of her family, to the song she could remember, and when she wasn't able to remember a lot anymore she still had memories of her dad. I still have the vivid memory of us sitting togheter in the kitchen singing old songs... After seeing Coco, I wanted to put a picture of me and Granny in my room💜to feel her closer to me
Great reaction. I love this movie, it is so amazing. My family is from Mexico and the movie show a lot of our traditions and heritage. The relationship Miguel and grandma Coco had reminded me of the relationship I had with my Great gramma. I miss you grandma. ❤
Por fin los países conocen la tradición de Día de Muertos que nació en Pátzcuaro 😃 en Michoacán 🇲🇽 los invitamos el próximo año para vivir con su propios ojos está tradición que para muchos es la mejor del año.😘
Habrá nacido en patzccuaro..pero para esa zona, en otras zonas como Oaxaca, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Veracruz EdoMex...esta celebración tiene más de 3 mil años y NO TIENE NADA QUE VER NI PATZCUARO NI LOS PURÉPECHAS, no inventes.
La Gente del bajío desde lo del grito se adjudican Todo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cuando las celebracio de los muertos estuvieron presentes en los imperios mexicas, zapotecas y mayas hasta 500 años atrás
You wouldn't believe the research the writers and animators did. They traveled to Guanajuato, Mexico and perfectly captured the beautiful culture. Also, many of the characters are based off famous Mexican artists from the past like Pedro Infante.
I love this movie. I'm a grown man and I cry every time cuz I lost my grandma and cocoa reminds me of her. I love the music and the colors of this movie
When I was little like Miguel I had a Mexican grandma who was… rough around the edges, just like her. When she yells “Apologize!” it hits home. She’d be the first to hit you with the chancla, then cover you in kisses. 😂 She ended up being as old as Mama Coco and passed in 2020 from Covid at 99.
When I Watched CoCo In First Time At Theater, That Day Was The Day When ! Finished My Maternal Grandmother's Funeral.(We Had Her Funeral When She Passed Away After Three Days.) I Cried A Lot When I Watched Third 'Remember Me' Scene, Because I Missed Her so Much...
47:30 actually Coco is unique precisely because our hero, Miguel, gives up his dream for a bigger cause (“family comes first”), and his reward comes from that selfless action. No other Disney/Pixar movie depicts that.
The ordinary cat at the end was Pepita. That's the form she takes in the living world, just like Dante has two forms. Apparently according to the writers, she was Mama Imelda's pet cat in life. Thanks, I love your reactions!
Thank you for reacting to this movie. This is my favorite animated movie now after I first saw it. This movie accurately portrayed the Mexican culture and it’s views about family and the holiday. I was so happy when it won an Oscar award for best animated movie category. It’s such a wonderful emotional heartwarming film and your tears just validated it for us. Thank you 😊
This movie is so beautiful... I'm mexican, and I'm from Michoacán, where this tradition is so strong, actually, the town from the movie is based on a little town here in Michoacán, called Santa Fe de la Laguna. Thank you for this
Thank you, Magy! I split up with my wife of 31 years in 2020. She enjoyed movies but didn't get involved in them emotionally like you and I do. My wish as I continue into my new life is to find someone like you who is not afraid to show it when they are affected by something beautiful. You have an amazing heart, and I enjoy watching your reactions so much. God bless you! XXX
Although this movie is about remembering your love ones who passed away, it reminds me about my daughter who was alienated from me when she was five in 2005 by her mother. Seeing you get emotional with this movie and it reminding me of my daughter brought warm sad tears to my eyes. (Speaking slowly): -After all these years…..all my past phone unlock codes have been her birth date. And so, I too hope to see my daughter again in this life and the next before……..she forgets me.
I can't stand the thought that Coco was shown as the skeleton of an elderly person after she died. Which means all of Miguel's family died very young, as did Hector 💀😬 But anyway, I think "Coco" is one of the best fairy tales so far. If I could suggest, another amazing Pixar animation is "Luca" (this is basically my favorite of my favorite fairy tales I have ever seen). For me it is very moving and quite emotional (Maybe because I identify with one of the characters - Alberto. We have very similar problems and very similar way of thinking) 😅 I think it is really worth watching anyway. I'd like to see your reaction to this animation 🥰 Hope to see you reacting to this one very soon ❤️
I think it's more of those pics in their altar. They put old Cocos pic on the altar -> she is old woman in afterlife. Same with Mama Imelda and others, they are Young in their altar photos-> they are Young in afterlife.
Disney must get back to this form again. Cuz "Coco" was the last Disney animated movie that made an impact to me recently. The recent ones haven't have that.
I was fortunate enough to see a screening of this film at Pixar animation studios in Emeryville California, there was not a dry eye in the whole theater. Such a beautiful masterpiece.
Another movie that got unfairly compared to this movie was called The Book of Life. Definitely worth checking out too. Two different stories with similar looking visual styles.
Yeah. Love that movie as well! I feel like people who haven't seen both tend to call one a ripoff of the other solely because they're both about Diá de los Muertos. But that's like saying all Christmas movies are the same because they're about Christmas. Coco and Book of Life may have some similar themes, but they're VERY different; and I love them both!
PIXAR make some visually stunning animation ,but with heartfelt animation. I also recommend "Brave", another Pixar animation with also has a touch of magic fantasy to the story.
I used to think these animated movies were just for kids, but after seeing Cars and Cloudy With A Chance Of meatballs, I discovered they were SO MUCH BETTER than just some kids movies! Animated features might actually have better entertainment value than any live action film. The stories are better, the humor is funnier, and the emotions are real. I highly recommend anyone that has been avoiding animated movies cos they're "just kid movies" to give them a chance - doesn't matter which one, cos they're ALL AMAZING! Once you do, you'll be hooked. The only caveat is that the Monsters Inc film has some sinister implications to it, but perhaps it's better to remain clueless about that, lest it ruin the experience.
Disney is at its best when it handles mature themes in a way that everyone can relate to. This story literally deals with dementia, murder, and abandonment in a way that is so well done. For a kid, it’s an adventure movie with a cool dia de los muertos setting. But for us, it’s a story about family and the purity of love. Everyone can watch that scene with his grandma and feel emotional. Music already naturally makes people feel emotion, but it’s done so incredibly well in this movie. Remember me starts as a piece about fame. It’s catchy and fun. Then it becomes a piece from a father to a daughter, telling her that he’s going away but it’s going to be okay. And that is already plenty emotional. But then it becomes a piece from a father who has passed away to his daughter who has dementia, telling her to remember him. And that’s just another level of emotion.
This movie is such a beautiful tribute to Mexican culture. Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes thinking of my own family. Thank you so much for reacting to Coco, you are absolutely wonderful Magy. For future animated films I would definitely recommend Up, Wall-E, and Finding Nemo.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭 Such a beautiful movie, great art, great messages - easily one of Pixar's best (which is saying something, they normally knock their movies out of the park) Animated movies are fantastic, and I find some people look over them thinking they're just for kids, when really they're for everyone! The Incredibles, Monster Inc, all the Toy Story's, Tangled, Zootropolis are some great ones My personal favourite Disney movie in a long time is Moana - it captures a great blend of classic Disney, with a modern almost Pixar feel, and also informs you of other cultures in a respectful way If you want something really unique in the animated field, you have to check out Kubo and The Two Strings. Fantastic story, it'll tug at your heart strings, great designs and visual language - the majority of the film is stop motion as well, giving it a really unique look at feel
Hi Magy! Long time no see. I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much. I am Mexican and I was very happy the way Coco portrayed our traditions. It's such a touching movie. It's also my favorite animated movie. All pixar animated movies are really good. Also how to teach your Dragon are worthwhile. Have an excellent week!
5:12 "Oh. He's learning, uh, to play music from _him?"_ And it looks like he's made some pretty good progress, too. All the more impressive once you understand how challenging the guitar really _is._

That is not true, they guided you without needing you to treat them well in fact when someone died they sacrificed a xolotzquincle

What did she eat to live so long? She probably ate a lot of beans huh? I assume that’s the secret for long living Mexicans because beans are amazing
@@Freetown00 To me, it seems like once you live to be 80, then you'll live to be 100. My grandmother is 93 and only just recently had to go into assisted living. She's still perfectly lucid, but she's too physically frail to take care of her needs. Still as vibrant and full of life as she was in her prime, though.
Go watch The Book of Life, which came out before Coco.
a great film that manages to capture Mexican culture, it is also very emotional.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Viva Mexico!!
Its not yellow enough

Coco is my favorite Pixar movie! My grandmother had Alzheimer's in the last few years of her life, so Miguel singing "Remember Me" to Coco to help her remember Hector really touched me.
I also loved the parts that did touch on Hector and Imelda rebuilding their relationship. It definitely was realistic that she couldn't bring herself to immediately forgive him even with the reveal that he had been murdered trying to come home. It didn't change the fact that he left in the first place and she likely had to endure a lot of hardships because of it. Thankfully Hector recognized that and apologized to Imelda for it. By the time they share that kiss and dance together in the epilogue, you can probably tell that they have had plenty of time to talk things out.
Omg I relate 100000% I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's and it was devastating. This movie absolutely got to me in such a way that no other movie has ever. I love coco, it's my all time favorite movie of all time. Such a beautiful culture and movie
My grandfather was the same way with the song O Danny Boy. Even as the memory fades, music is forever. If you don't cry when Mama Coco sings and then recognizes her family members, something is wrong with you.
I watched this movie on a plane on the way to a funeral for my wife's amazing uncle. It made the trip easier. Great story, music...and the animation is stunning. This movie also helped me appreciate the beauty of dia de los muertos.
As a mexican I can say, this movie shows perfectly and exactly what the day of the death means for us. The first time I saw this movie, when Remember me plays, I break, at first because I was reminded of an aunt I lpved when I was five, now, early this year, my grandma passed away and watching this video in that scene, I couldn't stop but think of her. There was a lot I wanted to tell her before she passed away, she was literally the sun in my darkest times, at least I know I was her favorite grandson untill the end and when she asked me to stop taking care of her I always told her she took care of me and now was time for me to take care of her. I knew her passing was for the best, but still, each time I pass by her old room, I look at the bed like she was still there. Sorry for this being so long, I had to vent a little, I even teared up a bit writing this.
I blubber like a little girl every time I see this. We know that music has the power to bring back memories, to give life to old people who otherwise go through their final days in a stupor. That moment when Coco's fingers start moving and she wakes up? Just beautiful.
I have such a Pavlovian response that kicks in during this movie. By the fourth note in "Remember Me" I start tearing up every single time. I don't know another movie, Pixar or otherwise, that so consistently kicks me straight in the feels.
One wee detail that hints that Ernesto is not related to Miguel: when he prepares to give Miguel his blessing, the flower petal does not shine, while it shines each time when one of the family does so
One of scenarists say it could have worked out cuz they both believed they are family but as Miguel knew that his family was Hector it didn’t work. I saw it on RUclips shorts, but I don’t fully believe it, what do you think?
@@MrNewsrus Well, can't judge. Besides, it happened BEFORE Miguel learned that Hector was his family. (shrugs)
I'll never forget how this movie made my strong, tall, loud, Mexican dad cry. I looove how Pixar is telling stories from a variety of different cultures.
The part that broke me in this movie was when Hector sang to Coco to say goodbye. I feel like there's this hidden meaning that no one takes into account, but for many years people flocked from Mexico. I myself emigrated from Mexico twice (and came back twice, I love my motherland) and fathers leaving their sons and daughters to support them from the United States is a reality that a lot of Mexicans have gone through.
I remember the day, when I was 4, when I saw my father walking away from home with luggage. I asked my mom where he was going, and she said "very far away, who knows when you'll see him again". In the end, one year later when I was already 6 my mom, my sister and I risked our lives crossing the Dead Desert to see my dad again.
Soooooo many Mexicans have gone through this, and I can't help but feel that that scene where Hector sings to Coco is meant to represent migration. I just haven't seen a single person comment about this, so if anyone has felt the same, please tell me, otherwise I'll finally be convinced I've gone mad.
Respect.
This movie hits me very hard every time. My wife is from Mexico and she taught me all about dia de los muertos and we always celebrate her holidays as well as my own together and it makes our family feel so special. I cry like a little baby at the ending every time. Funny fact I just got done watching this movie yesterday and then saw a notification that you had uploaded this 27 min prior to me watching and I laughed out loud how funny the coincidence was. Anyways I think you should definitely do more. These movies share a special place in everyone’s heart and they are so warming and enjoyable no matter what age or background you come from. Thank you again for an amazing reaction as always. Видимо се касније Маги!
Ты знаешь русский?
I always cry when I see the movie even though it has a perfect ending. It’s kinda feeling like that Miguel's family really get together, both the dead and the alive. But in the real world we never know if the dead can come back until we die. How I wish the land of the dead really exists 🥺and what I can do now is to keep the belief that they are always with me as long as I remember them 🥰
what gets me EVERY TIME is that throu the entire movie Hector is the only one without shoes and their entire family is shoemakers, in the end when you see them all walf hand in hand over the bridge Hector has brand new shoes T_T . signifying that he has truely been welcomed back in to the family T_T.
This movie came out the same year that I lost my dad, who was also a musician, so this movie hit me so hard. I love it so much, though. It's really beautiful. I'm not Mexican, but I love how it presented those traditions in such a real emotional way so that we can connect to the story and the characters even if it's not our culture.
Inside Out progresses like Coco in terms of character development. Tears reserved until the end. If you want it the other way around, Up is also great.
If you're feeling adventurous, anime has a long list of movies ranging from light to heavy drama.
I’m Mexican and I’m so proud of our traditions. Coco is probably my favorite Pixar movie (besides to Inside Out). The movie have a lot of references to this celebration, a Mexican and world culture around the dead (for example, the dog name Dante is a reference to the book “Inferno” of the Italian writer Dante Alighieri), and all the people that saw Coco cry a lot. In fact, you can find a lot of movies about Day of the dead but this is the best one. I love your reactions Maggy! When you cry my heart break. Fact: At the end of the credits, you can see a collage with the photos of the families of the cast who passed away and since Coco, every year Pixar studios make their own ofrenda to homage for the families of all the workers of the studio.
“My Coco…”
Still one of the best plot twists I’ve ever encountered
I will never fail to cry as Miguel singing to Mama Coco.
This is my third favorite movie of all time, with second being Amadeus and first is The Princess Bride.
Coco Rules!!!!, as a mexican i love it because it transmit the way we see dead, someone said to me once "our food is so good that we comeback from the dead every year just to keep eating" :P im happy you enjoied it :D
One of favorite movie that Disney were able to do. I personally enjoyed the way they covered everything with Mexican culture from El Santo cameo to the backstory.
My favorite detail in this that is so subtle but also not?? Is that Imelda and Héctor are the only ones in the whole cast wearing purple. Hinting that they’re the family patriarchs. 😭💖
I really enjoyed the first time I watched this movie and now I remember that scene from mama Coco singing along and I broke in tears again thanks for your reaction and I'm so happy you enjoyed and liked it too, it's my first time here in your channel too and now you have a new subscriber 😊
The setups and payoffs in this film are second to none. The visuals, which you mentioned, are amazing. The depth of the world is so profound and relayed through showing events in-world (like Hector being unable to cross the bridge) rather than exposition. It's just a class act movie.
There is a part of Mexico, Oaxaca, that makes colourful, carved wooden animal figures just like the ones in the film. I have a hare figure from there that my late wife bought me and it is a treasured possession.
The Xoloizcuintle breed (like Dante) are really appreciated here in Mexico because there is a myth that says that once you die, they will guide you through the Mictlan, this was like the underworld for the Aztec culture.
Mama Coco reminded me of my Great-grandma Elsa, she passed away at almost 101 years old.
She used to remember song from her childhood that her dad sung to her, and also the ones people used to sing when Italy attempted to getting rid of f4scism (1943-1945).
Great grandma was attacked to the photos of her family, to the song she could remember, and when she wasn't able to remember a lot anymore she still had memories of her dad.
I still have the vivid memory of us sitting togheter in the kitchen singing old songs...
After seeing Coco, I wanted to put a picture of me and Granny in my room💜to feel her closer to me
Great reaction. I love this movie, it is so amazing. My family is from Mexico and the movie show a lot of our traditions and heritage.
The relationship Miguel and grandma Coco had reminded me of the relationship I had with my Great gramma. I miss you grandma. ❤
Por fin los países conocen la tradición de Día de Muertos que nació en Pátzcuaro 😃 en Michoacán 🇲🇽 los invitamos el próximo año para vivir con su propios ojos está tradición que para muchos es la mejor del año.😘
Habrá nacido en patzccuaro..pero para esa zona, en otras zonas como Oaxaca, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Veracruz EdoMex...esta celebración tiene más de 3 mil años y NO TIENE NADA QUE VER NI PATZCUARO NI LOS PURÉPECHAS, no inventes.
La Gente del bajío desde lo del grito se adjudican Todo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cuando las celebracio de los muertos estuvieron presentes en los imperios mexicas, zapotecas y mayas hasta 500 años atrás
I've seen it so many times because it's so good. But watching it "with you", you made me cry again ☺️ Thank you for this video🙏🏽❤️
You wouldn't believe the research the writers and animators did. They traveled to Guanajuato, Mexico and perfectly captured the beautiful culture. Also, many of the characters are based off famous Mexican artists from the past like Pedro Infante.
It was actually Michoacán
Lalo was the Cultural Consultant . . he did a fantastic job
A great film about family, losing them, and most importantly, *remembering* them. 🙏🏼
This movie always brings me to tears every time. So great to see my family's culture represented so well, especially loved hearing the Grito
I first saw Coco soon after my father's passing. Damned I cried my eyes out!
I love this movie. I'm a grown man and I cry every time cuz I lost my grandma and cocoa reminds me of her. I love the music and the colors of this movie
Its such a kick to see other people react to something that made us also feel the same. tears and laughter, its life.
When I was little like Miguel I had a Mexican grandma who was… rough around the edges, just like her. When she yells “Apologize!” it hits home. She’d be the first to hit you with the chancla, then cover you in kisses. 😂 She ended up being as old as Mama Coco and passed in 2020 from Covid at 99.
I love this movie too, gorl! 😭🩰
@@DemonBunnyQueen Gorl!!! 😂😂
When I Watched CoCo In First Time At Theater, That Day Was The Day When ! Finished My Maternal Grandmother's Funeral.(We Had Her Funeral When She Passed Away After Three Days.) I Cried A Lot When I Watched Third 'Remember Me' Scene, Because I Missed Her so Much...
47:30 actually Coco is unique precisely because our hero, Miguel, gives up his dream for a bigger cause (“family comes first”), and his reward comes from that selfless action. No other Disney/Pixar movie depicts that.
The ordinary cat at the end was Pepita. That's the form she takes in the living world, just like Dante has two forms. Apparently according to the writers, she was Mama Imelda's pet cat in life. Thanks, I love your reactions!
No sé inglés, pero ver tus emociones y expresiones .. te amé... Gracias por tu reacción.. saludos de 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
This makes me cry every time. Another great one is Onward.
Thank you for reacting to this movie. This is my favorite animated movie now after I first saw it. This movie accurately portrayed the Mexican culture and it’s views about family and the holiday. I was so happy when it won an Oscar award for best animated movie category. It’s such a wonderful emotional heartwarming film and your tears just validated it for us. Thank you 😊
This movie is so beautiful... I'm mexican, and I'm from Michoacán, where this tradition is so strong, actually, the town from the movie is based on a little town here in Michoacán, called Santa Fe de la Laguna.
Thank you for this
I always cry with this movie, my grandfather had Alzheimer's, he was a very good person and I always remember him.
0:43 "I wanted something more light and more fun"
Yeahhhhh about that...
ya I feel lied😂
13:20 gives new meaning to the expression "His jaw dropped"! 😝
And my jaw was on the floor
Now you must see newest Disney film 'ENCANTO!' It is amazing! How do they keep doing this?! Makes me crazy.
I never get tired of Magy! Her personality is the best!
Thank you, Magy! I split up with my wife of 31 years in 2020. She enjoyed movies but didn't get involved in them emotionally like you and I do. My wish as I continue into my new life is to find someone like you who is not afraid to show it when they are affected by something beautiful. You have an amazing heart, and I enjoy watching your reactions so much. God bless you! XXX
Although this movie is about remembering your love ones who passed away, it reminds me about my daughter who was alienated from me when she was five in 2005 by her mother.
Seeing you get emotional with this movie and it reminding me of my daughter brought warm sad tears to my eyes.
(Speaking slowly): -After all these years…..all my past phone unlock codes have been her birth date. And so, I too hope to see my daughter again in this life and the next before……..she forgets me.
I can't stand the thought that Coco was shown as the skeleton of an elderly person after she died. Which means all of Miguel's family died very young, as did Hector 💀😬 But anyway, I think "Coco" is one of the best fairy tales so far. If I could suggest, another amazing Pixar animation is "Luca" (this is basically my favorite of my favorite fairy tales I have ever seen). For me it is very moving and quite emotional (Maybe because I identify with one of the characters - Alberto. We have very similar problems and very similar way of thinking) 😅 I think it is really worth watching anyway. I'd like to see your reaction to this animation 🥰 Hope to see you reacting to this one very soon ❤️
I think it's more of those pics in their altar. They put old Cocos pic on the altar -> she is old woman in afterlife. Same with Mama Imelda and others, they are Young in their altar photos-> they are Young in afterlife.
No confundas cuentos hadas con tradiciones, se nota que de donde vienes, no hay tradiciones ni cultura
Imelda was in her 70s when she died, according to the writers. You can see a grey streak in her hair, but she aged well. Hector was only 21.
This is like 3th or 4th time that I watch your reaction to Coco, I love it...
oh really 😍yay
I saw this movie with my little daughter and with her she learned that her father can cry too ...
I’ve never cried so much for a movie before…I love this movie so much with all my heart. I have so much respect for Mexican culture
Magy, I saw this in the theater and it was amazing experience. I do like this one a lot. Glad you loved it as well.
"Lighthearted" she says as she opens Pixars library
I remember I cried, too, when I watched the film by first time. COCO is a song to the soul. Especially, for people who lost loved ones.
Esa película hizo llorar a más de la mitad de las salas de cine aquí en México 🥲🎉
Disney must get back to this form again. Cuz "Coco" was the last Disney animated movie that made an impact to me recently. The recent ones haven't have that.
My favourite music. It always makes me so emotional
Magy, you have the sweetest heart. Love your reactions! Have a wonderful day .
I was fortunate enough to see a screening of this film at Pixar animation studios in Emeryville California, there was not a dry eye in the whole theater. Such a beautiful masterpiece.
Another movie that got unfairly compared to this movie was called The Book of Life. Definitely worth checking out too. Two different stories with similar looking visual styles.
Facts
Yeah. Love that movie as well! I feel like people who haven't seen both tend to call one a ripoff of the other solely because they're both about Diá de los Muertos. But that's like saying all Christmas movies are the same because they're about Christmas. Coco and Book of Life may have some similar themes, but they're VERY different; and I love them both!
Her beauty hypnotizes me, greetings from México 🇲🇽
Mi amor 😍😘
PIXAR make some visually stunning animation ,but with heartfelt animation. I also recommend "Brave", another Pixar animation with also has a touch of magic fantasy to the story.
I used to think these animated movies were just for kids, but after seeing Cars and Cloudy With A Chance Of meatballs, I discovered they were SO MUCH BETTER than just some kids movies! Animated features might actually have better entertainment value than any live action film. The stories are better, the humor is funnier, and the emotions are real. I highly recommend anyone that has been avoiding animated movies cos they're "just kid movies" to give them a chance - doesn't matter which one, cos they're ALL AMAZING! Once you do, you'll be hooked.
The only caveat is that the Monsters Inc film has some sinister implications to it, but perhaps it's better to remain clueless about that, lest it ruin the experience.

"CHANCLA!"
_everyone _*_DUCKS FOR COVER_*
Not just a first-rate animated movie, but a first-rate movie, period.
This movie make me cry every time 😭
Disney is at its best when it handles mature themes in a way that everyone can relate to. This story literally deals with dementia, murder, and abandonment in a way that is so well done. For a kid, it’s an adventure movie with a cool dia de los muertos setting. But for us, it’s a story about family and the purity of love. Everyone can watch that scene with his grandma and feel emotional. Music already naturally makes people feel emotion, but it’s done so incredibly well in this movie. Remember me starts as a piece about fame. It’s catchy and fun. Then it becomes a piece from a father to a daughter, telling her that he’s going away but it’s going to be okay. And that is already plenty emotional. But then it becomes a piece from a father who has passed away to his daughter who has dementia, telling her to remember him. And that’s just another level of emotion.
It was so cute hearing you say some words in español hahahaha
Muchas tradiciones y cultura en México lindo y querido!!!!! Tienes que vivirlo, sentirlo!!!!
Damnit Magy.. i saw your video again and shed a tear or many with you again 😚 You really have a warmth that can be felt through the screen 😊👍🏽
I love your reaction to this movie, shows you have the heart on the right place and that makes you an amazing person.
This movie is such a beautiful tribute to Mexican culture. Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes thinking of my own family. Thank you so much for reacting to Coco, you are absolutely wonderful Magy. For future animated films I would definitely recommend Up, Wall-E, and Finding Nemo.
i know your tears were real. Because there is no one NO ONE THAT COUDN'T CRY WATCHING THAT ENDING..!!!..
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭
Such a beautiful movie, great art, great messages - easily one of Pixar's best (which is saying something, they normally knock their movies out of the park)
Animated movies are fantastic, and I find some people look over them thinking they're just for kids, when really they're for everyone!
The Incredibles, Monster Inc, all the Toy Story's, Tangled, Zootropolis are some great ones
My personal favourite Disney movie in a long time is Moana - it captures a great blend of classic Disney, with a modern almost Pixar feel, and also informs you of other cultures in a respectful way
If you want something really unique in the animated field, you have to check out Kubo and The Two Strings. Fantastic story, it'll tug at your heart strings, great designs and visual language - the majority of the film is stop motion as well, giving it a really unique look at feel
Hi Magy! Long time no see. I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much. I am Mexican and I was very happy the way Coco portrayed our traditions. It's such a touching movie. It's also my favorite animated movie. All pixar animated movies are really good. Also how to teach your Dragon are worthwhile. Have an excellent week!
37:10 The best part is the audience thought that was part of the act. 😂
I love this movie to, I actually have a guitar my grandfather gave me just like the Miguel did.
Esta Escena Siempre Me Hace Llorar 🇲🇽
This movie was Criminally under-promoted and under-rated. So, so good. It doesn't hurt that Miguel's family and I have the same last name. :-)
The tradition is real in Mexico, in November 1 & 2 every year.
The endning music on which he cried the most... More sensual with the most energetic with incredible melody and content😍😭😭
Such a beautiful movie! I'm glad to see you react to it!
5:12 "Oh. He's learning, uh, to play music from _him?"_
And it looks like he's made some pretty good progress, too. All the more impressive once you understand how challenging the guitar really _is._
Coco had the best ending 😭😭😭 it’s so beautiful
