#coco the movie

[dragoneyes618]

You know, the Rivera family is probably Catholic.

Mexico is a majority Catholic country, and while obviously that doesn't mean everyone is Catholic, within the movie itself, you see Santa Cecilia has crosses everywhere, Coco was keeping her father's letters and picture inside what looks like a prayer book (maybe she used to pray for him to come back 💔), and Elena crosses herself after breaking Miguel's guitar.

Anyway, not that I actually know much about Catholicism, but I imagine Miguel going to confession a couple of days after the movie:

Miguel: So I had a big fight with my family and I told them I didn't want to be part of them and that I didn't care if I was on an ofrenda and I ran away and I was gone the whole night and they were all really worried about me and I went to play in the talent show even though my family didn't let so then I stole a guitar and my family thinks that's what I'm here for but really it wasn't stealing because it belonged to my great-great-grandfather so really it should've been ours but I didn't know that when I took it and I can't tell you how I know that. Also I broke into a tomb.

The poor priest, who is used to Miguel confessing things like "I snuck away to the plaza and listened to some mariachis. Then Abuelita smacked them with her chancla. Why isn't she here for that?" and other such music-related indiscretions: ...What?

(Abuelita does go to confession for losing her temper and using her chancla, but she admits that she doesn't feel very repentant in some cases. Those no-good mariachis deserved what they got!)

Concept art for MSBE, going by the 3D look for James/Misty/Ash.

Hoopa's bottle and Unbound form.

A bunch of Zygarde sheets. Special mention to Zygarde dragging people around by putting a leash on them.

Sir Aaron and the soldiers from the Lucario movie!

The princess from the Volcanion movie. Always liked her outfit, so cool to get a better look at it.

My friend called me this morning and just started off with no hello or anything.

"You know in Once Upon A Studio where every Disney character comes to life? Where are the Pixar characters?"

"It's just the disney characters, the Pixar characters are probably at Pixar studios."

"They're probably fighting for their life."

"Huh."

"The Pixar characters are in life threatening situations every second in some of their movies. They're probably fighting a monster or something."

"Go to sleep."

And I couldn't stop thinking of how funny the idea was

For me, I think the worst part of the Skully being dead theory being true is the fact that Yuu and Company don't remember what happens in the book adventures. They can carry on like nothing happened except for the vague desire to go to the beach or something that they can't explain, but thats about it.

Skully is gone, and has been for a long time. He's an obscure figure in twst, any portraits of him are super rare now. There is no one to remember him. And yeah, it's because he didn't want to be in the spotlight, but it's not about circulating his story and image. It's about remembering our friend, being happy he lived his dream and the mark he left behind. Funerals, memorials, doing things to honor the people that passed aren't for the dead, they're for the living that misses them. And Yuu doesn't really get to do that, they can't really celebrate/do something on Halloween to honor Skully because it's like he never existed to them. There's no one to remember him on this day he made so beloved by the world over. And that's so sad.

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!"

Happy 10th anniversary to The Book of Life!!! 💀⚰️🇲🇽🎉😍🐂🎸🎼🎵🎶🪇🥁🎻🎺🎸

On this day October 17th 2014 The book of Life was released in theaters directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez and Guillermo del Toro, and have an incredible voice cast of Diego Luna, Zoe Saldaña, Channing Tatum, Kate del Castillo, Ice Cube, Ron Perlman, Gabriel Iglesias and many more!

Before Coco was released in 2017, This film had a celebration of Mexican culture but also The Hispanic holiday of Dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead), A Day to Remember those that passed away

The animation looks completely incredible as well as the story. All the people that work very hard in both the animation community and the animation studios did all they could to make this wonderful masterpiece that also included Jorge R. Gutierrez's iconic art style into the CGI world, but the wooden figures throughout most of the film to the humans as well

The music is also beautiful, blending its own form and even having a lot of his heritage and Roots to their culture.

Overall, I like this film. No scratch that. I love the film so much. Give it a 10 out of 10!

I highly recommend this film to get into The Day of the Dead Spirit and for those who love animation

It was several months after Día de los Muertos when Héctor finally worked up the courage to ask a question that had been plaguing him for some time.

"Did you ever consider remarrying?" He couldn't figure out any way to soften it, disguise it, work it into ordinary conversation; the question hung in the air, bare and obvious.

Imelda kept her eyes on the shoe on her worktable. "You weren't dead, Héctor." He said nothing. "No one had sent word that anything had happened to you. There was no body. I cannot remarry if my husband is still alive."

"You might have been able to get the marriage annulled," he pointed out. "Once I'd been missing for long enough-"

"What part of 'love of my life' did you not understand?" Imelda looked up now. "Why do you think I was always so angry at you? I hated you for leaving, but I still couldn't stop myself from loving you."

Among my comfort characters, I have traumatized dads who went through a lot for love...

...traumatized science guys who command a certain type of creatures to which they act fatherly to...

...or traumatized goofy dudes who ambiguously manage to be both.

...

I'm sensing a pattern here that's worrying me...
