>The result is that Unkrich secured an all-Latino voice cast (including Gael Garcia Bernal as a skeleton named Hector who helps Miguel on his journey in the Land of the Dead) and sought authenticity via numerous story consultants, key crew members and filmmakers (like co-director Adrian Molina), and musical talent culled from artists down in Mexico. Unkrich, Molina, and producer Darla K. Anderson made frequent trips south of the border (in fact, Lasseter approved the film just three weeks before one Dia de Muertos fell, spurring a first-time scramble to not miss out) and soon sent his story artists, production designers, and even sound crew down to take the aesthetic pulse of villages.

>Of interesting note is that in Unkrich’s efforts for cultural authenticity, an unfortunate misstep plagued the earliest announcements of Coco (which is titled after Miguel’s grand-grandmother). In 2013, Disney filed an application to trademark “Dia de Los Muertos,” back when Coco did not have its title, and the studio was harshly criticized for its attempt to co-opt the national holiday. As Unkrich explains, “There was never any conscious effort to try to trademark a holiday because that’s crazy, and we would never try to do that. But it happened, and we regret it, and we’re so sorry for it. And I know for all of us, it affected us really deeply. It was devastating, because we knew what we were trying to do and we had taken on this responsibility of trying to do everything right, and so it really was painful to know that the first public perception of our film had to do with that.”

But, he says, good came out of it: “It reinforced our desire to make sure that we reached out to as many experts as we could and to involve as many people in telling this story accurately. This is a story we want to share with the world, but it’s also been particularly important to us that when the Latino community sees the film, that it resonates and it feels like we got it right, and that’s what we’re really trying to do. We all feel the gravity.”

Miguel’s well-intentioned deed of grave robbery is badly-timed, and he’s about to be inadvertently sent to the Land of the Dead, where he’ll come face to face with the same great-great-relatives who banned music in his family. Just guess how happy they’ll be when they find out how he got there.

I remember that episode of El Tigre.

>>88681545
Because the ancestor a few hundred years back got jilted by their significant other.

Fucking hell lets just spoil this damn thing already.

In his quest to follow his idol he'll run into another musician who's a bit down and out because his quest for fame alienated him from his true love and in the Afterlife he seeks to win her back but she won't have anything to do with him.

So Miguel pals up with him to woo back his lady love with the Power of Music and surprise fucking surprise it's Imelda.

They reunite and she appears to her family and they welcome music back into their lives.

Que fucking music montage.

>The average mexican family is composed of poor shoe-makers who ban things like music for generations for retarded reasons
Ah si, I remember when Ponchito wanted to go to college to study electrical engineering but then we rembered that 89 years ago our abuelita touched a wire and got electrocuted so we banned electricity, I guess Ponchito will keep making shoes for the rest of his life until Oaxaca gets conquered and annexed by Guatemala and the chapines kill us all

Telling you endlessly why a culture is so amazing doesn't make for a good story. If a story is told well, you can learn about a culture without even realising it, you don't need to shove it down people's throats.

It also doesn't help that this looks way too similar to Book of the Dead but without the interesting visuals.

>>88684423

Man, the way you type is annoying as fuck but I'm going to answer anyway:

Mexican humor is VERY satire heavy. And I mean very - for example, the classic day of the dead skeleton you see everywhere is a cartoon of a skeleton representing spaniards/mexicans that tried too hard to act white, pointing at the fact that when we die, we're all the same. It's not uncommon for mexican comedians to make fun not only of plublic figures, but also of certain stereotypes of the different regions of mexico in very mean-spirited but still funny ways.

Most mexicans realize that the stereotypes exists because they are based on truth, so unless it's something obviously offensive or done by someone with not a fucking clue, the first reaction is usually either "oh, that's cute, they like X mexican thing" or "yeah, they act like that, don't they?"

Speedy Gonzales in particular got insanely popular because it represented the mexican ideal of outsmarting other people while representing the mexican reality of also being a shithead.

From what I know as a Oaxacan. Some Mexicans just don't give a fuck about stereotypes, you know we actually laugh at them sometimes; also whenever an outsider comes here we call them by their stereotypes too. The only stereotype that seems to trigger some Mexicans is the one about us sleeping in a cactus.

Also other people like the stereotypes because they're feeling that we are loosing our culture for all the new devices or some shit like that, and they feel that the stereotypes are somehow helping us to keep our culture.

>>88685193
>The only stereotype that seems to trigger some Mexicans is the one about us sleeping in a cactus.

From what I gather, it's because it's the opposite of reality. The "mexican sleeping all day" came from the jornaleros that woke up before dawn to reap what had been planted, then would sleep during morning hours.
