FAMILY, TRADITION, & MUSIC!! Stay Better Informed thru unbiased reporting w/ Straight Arrow News! Visit https://www.san.com/reejrects to download - Coco Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects With Pixar's Elio out now, Aaron & John RETURN for another Animation Monday giving their Coco Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey light up your Día de Muertos with their heartfelt Reaction & Review of Pixar/Disney’s Coco (2017), directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo) and co-directed by Adrian Molina (Coco, Burrow). This vibrant musical adventure follows young Miguel Rivera (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, Selena’s Family, Real Women Have Curves) who dreams of becoming a musician—despite his family’s generations-old ban on music. After a mysterious string of events, Miguel is transported to the colorful Land of the Dead, where he meets charming trickster Héctor (voiced by Gael García Bernal, The Motorcycle Diaries, Mozart in the Jungle), and accidentally earns the blessing of his idol—Frida Kahlo cameo aside remix! With the help of beloved star Ernesto de la Cruz (voiced by Benjamin Bratt, Doctor Strange, Miss Congeniality), Miguel embarks on an emotional journey to uncover his family's past and lift its musical curse. Standout characters include Miguel’s grandmother Abuelita (Renée Victor) and sweet great-great-grandmother Mamá Coco (Ana Ofelia Murguía). Key moments include Miguel’s dramatically emotional visit to Mamá Coco’s memory-filled home, the unforgettable “Remember Me” performance in the candlelit courtyard, the dramatic chase across floating marigold bridges, and the tear-jerking finale that underscores the power of family, memory, and forgiveness. With its stunning visuals, captivating performances, and an unforgettable soundtrack fully steeped in Mexican culture, Coco remains one of Pixar’s most beloved and visually rich films. Join Aaron & John as they celebrate the film’s legacy, musical highs, tearful lows, and why Coco continues to inspire generations. #CocoMovie #Pixar #Disney #CocoReaction #MovieReview #AnthonyGonzalez #GaelGarcíaBernal #BenjaminBratt #RememberMe #DayOfTheDead #Family #Animation #FilmAnalysis #AaronAlexander #JohnHumphrey #DisneyAnimation #LatinCulture #RememberMeScene How to Train Your Dragon (2010) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/XGVgelE64mU Lilo & Stitch (2002) Aaron & Tara's Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/fWOM8PpdJfc Sooby-Doo (2002) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/NVzdR-qbTrI Inside Out 2 (2024) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/qljF3WE7rGE Lilo & Stitch (2002) John;s Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/98wnJJ0qplo Selena (1997) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/gpjqPx_no7k 0:00 Checking In 1:29 STRAIGHT ARROW NEWS 3:20 Coco Reaction 55:15 Patron Q&A + Coco Review Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

The ending for Coco is one of the single greatest and most emotionally powerful endings in film history. No matter how many times I’ve seen it I can’t watch the ending without crying uncontrollably for those last 10 minutes. Not only is it beautiful in showing how Miguel brings back Coco’s memories, but it shows how powerful music is. There’s actual scientific proof that music can be used to help restore memories and there’s also the unexplainable magical feeling of music that can heal and bring people together.

43:42 It's not that Imelda can't forgive Hector for dying, it's that she was still hurt that Hector left his family in the first place to play music with Dela Cruz; leaving her to care for their first and only child without anyone else to help her and support their family. It may seem that she doesn't want to listen to reason but it's more on how she never got any closure from that hurt that evolved to anger which was taken out on music. I'm just happy that they got their happy ending in the afterlife.

I love how the song "Remember Me" completely changes depending on who's singing it. When Ernesto sings it it's catchy and fun like any other "popular" song but it's empty and soulless and you don't really feel anything other than a fleeting enjoyment that passes after the song ends. But when Hector and Miguel sing it for Coco, it's so soft and there's such love and tenderness that you can't help but tear up

Dante is a Xoloitzcuintle, a breed of dog that ppl believed was in charge of helping the dead cross the bridge to the Mictlan (The underworld). That's why he can see both sides, the living and the dead. 24:39 And yes, that's what chamaco means, it can also be used as "little kid" :)

Imelda isn’t still mad at Hector for staying away after she found out he was murdered, she’s mad at him for ever leaving in the first place.

45:34 She's telling her own story! Llorona is a Mexican folk tale about a woman who falls in love with a wandering romancer, has is children, and then he ditches town and leaves her and the kids. She has so much rage at him that she tries to punish him by drowning her kids in a river- but then she regrets it and jumps in to save them, and they all drown. They say you can still hear her moaning and crying at the river banks. The song Llorona was written from the point of view of the man, making it even more tragic by revealing that he was still in love with her and wanted to reunite, ans he forgave her for what happened to the children, but she was dead and he could only see her mourning ghost from afar. The whole story of Coco is basically that. Emelda punishes her husband - who did not intend to leave her - by actually punishing her children, through denying music, in a way killint Coco and Miguel's spirits. And then death separates her and Hector so the true lovers cannot get over the misunderstanding.

I kept thinking of how much love Coco has in her heart, after years of being taught to hate her father by her mother, then letting the whole family do the same, she still remembers him fondly.
