🌙🏵 Día de los Muertos 🥀🖤

[juliedrawz]

Guys! My heart! Yesterday evening something happened that I didn't expect AT ALL!

So it was my cousins birthday. No biggie. Just another small family get together at my aunts. Some cake, some really good dinner, boring chit chat. You name it.

And, of course, eventually, I sat ... and sat ... and got bored. So I took out my Ipad and started drawing Coco stuff, when all of the sudden I hear my Dad go in a whisper to my great cousin (She's almost 7, mind you) "Uh oh ... don't let Julie hear that!"

Too late! Sweet familiar melodies I've engraved in my heart reach my ears and I'm immersed in the movie I love more than anything! I hear Héctor talk to Miguel and that's it. I Turn my head, the child giggles and grins and boom, I scuttle closer next to her and before we know it, we are BOTH deeply in the movie. Dad shakes his head grinning, Mom beams from ear to ear as my great cousin showers me with a huricane of questions and facts.

"Did you know Ernesto's guitar is actually Héctor's"?

"Yes, sweety! I know 😂"

"Why is Imelda angry at Héctor?"

"Because she was very sad when he didn't come back."

My great cousin loudly - "But he wanted to come back!! Ernesto kept him from going!"

Me - 🫠 "Yes, sweety! I know!!" 💪😭 *so proud!!*

And she literally proceeded to ask me questions and I answered them all! Why do alebrijes look so colorful? Why does Pepita turn back into a cat? Why does Miguel turn a skeleton? Why did Ernesto snap?

She also wanted to know my top 3 and DUH, did I say, Héctor, Imelda, Ernesto! Héctor being nr 1. And she agress but says, "Héctor, Miguel, Ernesto!" And I'm just 🥹💘 (She said, Ernesto folks!! She's a clever one! She doesn't put the "Villain" stamp on him but understands (as far as child can at that age) that something went wrong with him. One day, when she's old enough, she'll get to read my book! That's for sure!

And further more, speaking of Héctor's guitar, her Dad comes around singing un poco loco and asks, "Why can't you play her un poco loco?"

Me - "Because I've only been playing for 10 months? I'm not that good yet! 🥲"

He - "Well then learn faster!" 😂

Me - 🥲 "I wish I could! Believe me ... it's not that easy!"

And great cousin asks when I will finish Héctor's guitar. OF COURSE, Dad had to tell her what I'm up to!

Me - "Soon, I hope!"

Fast forward, un poco loco comes on, we sing! My aunt comes, hears and you can see the sneer in her face 🤣 but I already have the multitude on my side! So we settle in an agreement to turn the music down slightly!

And then Imelda comes and sings, and my great cousin goes "Imelda sings sooooo good!"

And I 🥰 "Oh yes she does!"

We keep watching the movie, kid keeps asking stuff, I answer and feel like the greatest nerd ever 😆🤓 The movie ends, we clapp and cheer, and kid proceeds to ask me to draw the characters. I show her my works and she's in awe! "Wow! You can draw them like in the movie!" And I'm 🤧❤️‍🔥 (you guys know kids are darn honest, no?) It went down like oil! I felt SO good! 🤣

Anyway, we drew a little, had dinner and then she fell asleep.

Will I continue to turn my family into Coco-fans? Heck yes!

A magical forest teeming with wildlife and magical beings, a pristine lake, drama and intrigue, and a bustling small town main street, what else could you need to bring these characters to life in a magical town?

Kenai Hunt (Kenai, Brother Bear) - A BEAR!? What’s a guy to do when he’s cursed to turn into a bear at nightfall? Well, then. That’s why you’re here in Swynlake, one of the most magical places on the planet. Surely someone here can break your fuzzy little curse. Right?

Imelda Rivera (Imelda Rivera, Coco) - Some say anger is poison. You say anger is what protected you, at a time when you needed it desperately. Your anger has waned but that doesn’t mean you’ve gone soft; on the contrary, you’re more shrewd and prepared for whatever the world can throw at you than before. It’s why you mustered the courage to come to Swynlake, chasing after a mysterious clue…

Claudette La Croix (The Bimbettes, Beauty and The Beast) - Sequined costumes, a coy smile, and ginger hair adorn you as you perform nightly at Swynlake’s Court of Miracles. Oh, but what complicated feelings are hiding behind your set! A longing for a homeland you didn’t want or need to leave, a fear of being separated from your sisters so you went with them anyway, perhaps a resentment of the reason your family had to relocate? What’s really going on inside your head?

Mertle van der Westhuizen (Mertle, Lilo and Stitch) - Dance shoes, red lipstick, and a Gucci bag, three things you’re never without. Just like your three best friends! Lately, there’s been trouble in paradise. Hello? Are you the problem, is it you?

Bonnie Rockwaller (Bonnie, Kim Possible)- Some people would kill for your gift and to that you say, go ahead! Take it! You won’t lie, it’s pretty cool…a little…sometimes. But the sudden appearance of it cost you your cheerleading scholarships and you doubt you’ll ever recover. You want this “gift” gone and you’re here to make that happen!

Danielle Richards (Dog Triplet, Lady & The Tramp) - You don’t have time to waste kicking yourself for only embarking on a grand adventure now. What matters is that you’re doing it! Will reuniting with your younger brother prove to bring a welcome change to your boring life?

Turning Red fanart since it's in theaters

some disneys i doodled in between commission stuff :3

[mecharliedraw]

Guess who saw Coco after a long time and possibly became obsessed with the movie besides a couple of skeletons from the 20s, that's right, this idiot

Ok, I admit it, I haven't been obsessed with a specific couple or ship in a while, so maybe this is weird to draw, oh I don't know

[stardustpinkart]

The idea of this, is that its taking place before Hector's murder. There days on the road, when he and Imelda are missing each other terribly, and it is slowly getting to breaking piont.

This song felt like something Hector might write, putting his feelings into words. So hes not simply singing a song, there is some real emotion behind it, though the crowd is unaware of this. This is for his Imelda.

alongside my encanto fics I’m now in the process of planning out such a fun coco one! 🎉 the love I have for this family is actually insane I can’t

[keri-mcberry]

Aaaand here's Part 3! ✨

I hope you all enjoyed Lyla's Quidditch shenanigans as much as I enjoyed drawing it out! Thank you for following along! :D

[imeldaesthetic]

this is how you make an entrance 💜 she has the most iconic intro ever, start as you mean to go on 😂

[therabbitthatpostthings]

I feel the main reason that the Ernesto De La Cruz twist worked as opposed to other twist villains is because he already sucked as a character before we knew the truth.

All we knew about Miguel's grandfather is that he was blinded by the starlight, abandoned his wife and daughter and didn't even send them anyway to support themselves. Even in death, he's not visiting his living family or giving the Rivera family the time of day. He's surrounded by adoring fans and having a lavish party, using spirit guides as servants. We are told explicitly that this man is awful!

So when we find out that this is Hector's ex partner who ruined not just his life, but his FAMILY'S life- the twist isn't "Oh my god he's awful!" it's "OH MY GOD! He's worse than I thought!"

[juliedrawz]

When your aunt is the only one who doesn't like Coco because she think's skeletons are scary and misses the whole beauty and meaning of the movie and the kids of my cousin watch it on repeat and start loving it! + Your Dad gets frond of your Ernesto funko pop and Mom starts loving him because of the book your writing!

And why do they even watch it? Because a certain someone in the family loves Coco to pieces, makes a literal replica of Héctor's guitar, has lots of merch flying around, draws and writes about the characters 24/7 and keeps talking about it non stop.

Mission accomplished!!

Coco: Héctor Rivera - Life vs Death

I noticed this about Héctor is that he is quite exuberant through most of the film, he seemed like a loud character, but I noticed that during his flashbacks of his death that he was more quiet. The only words he said to Ernesto were “I’m going home Ernesto, hate me if you want but my mind is made up” (not to mention he was firm, but not yelling, and had this expression that spoke louder than his words) it’s a short and simple sentence. While Ernesto proposed a toast, Héctor did not say anything. He simply accepted the toast with a smile and drank. Héctor doesn’t even tell Ernesto anything when he’s dying, in pain. Doesn’t ask him for help or any questions, he’s even silent as he’s dying.

Maybe I’m overthinking it but I noticed how much Héctor was quietly thinking while shutting his songbook, accepting his ‘friend’s’ toast. When he’s dying, it’s like his thoughts are in hyperdrive at that moment and yet, he doesn’t say anything.

During the end, the one year epilogue occurs and there is a lack of this ‘loudness’ which we saw during the majority of the film. He gets checked at the gate, sighs, and goes to meet his family, only saying his daughter’s name, and then he doesn’t speak for the rest of it. Heck, he’s not even singing with Miguel, he’s playing the guitar and smiling.

This is either a timing factor for the film (because speaking is a waste of time) or if this is done intentionally to show that, in life, Héctor was a quieter person. In death, he’s suffering, isolated, and rejected by his family: due to that, he’s loud, erratic, and unhealthy almost as if he’s behaving ‘louder’ in order to avoid his internal pain. Then when he’s with his family in the epilogue, he’s quieter again and less erratic. Despite everything happening, the Rivera’s helped Héctor heal. Even though I have personal opinions about Iméctor, it was a sweet ending seeing the healing, forgiveness, and love in the end.

It’s just makes me think about Héctor’s personality and how different it was in life compared to what we see through the majority of the film in the LOTD. He has his basic personality: silly, joyful, inventive, compassionate. I just find it weird that I’ve only seen one other post that noticed his living self’s quietness/calmness but didn’t dive deeper into it.

(Said personal opinion was: I didn’t think it was healthy or realistic for Pixar to shoe-horn a last minute romance when there was- albeit justified- 97 years of anger and resentment due to a misunderstanding on one end. That’s not even mentioning the rest of the Rivera’s. It always rubbed me the wrong way.)

Oh and I would love to hear other people’s opinions and/or disagreements 😊 I want to hear different perspectives, I tend to lack imagination when it comes to perspective.
