THE COCO FAMILY TREE EXPLAINED!: Discovering Disney Pixar

Isaac celebrates Disney Pixar’s Coco, an Oscar Award winning film for Best Animated Feature and Original Song, by breaking down Miguel's family tree.

In Coco we are introduced to the main character Miguel’s large family very quickly. Sure they do state some of the names in passing, but after finishing Coco I really only felt like I knew a few characters. In most cases I kept wondering: who are they? What’s their name? How are they related to Miguel? In a movie that focuses heavily on developing the importance of family, I knew it was time to seize my moment and find the answers.

I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

I loved making this video for you guys. Coco is such a fantastic film. If you haven't already, go follow me over @WotsoVideos on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook so we can keep discussing our love of Coco (and hitting disrespectful individuals with shoes like Abuelita 😂). Thanks for watching and have a magical day!

I love how Imelda doesn’t understand computers so she calls it a “devil-box”

[kathrynvincent]

Imepda: HOW DARE YOU KILL THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!
Hector: Wait, I am the love of your life?
Imelda: I don't know I'm still mad at you!

[Yoshi_Orta]

And compared to how big Mexican families can get... Miguel's family is REALLY small XD

[scvpink]

So one of coco’s daughters died before she did :(

[nathenewendzel]

As a musician, I appreciate the fact that Pixar took the time to animate the correct fingering for the music. Most wouldn't bother.

[maryhlad]

I just love Mama Imelda. She stands up for herself, but in the end, sees the importance of family. I nearly cried when Mama Imelda, and Papa Hector were reunited with their daughter, Mama Coco.

My favorite member of the Rivera family is HANDS DOWN Héctor. Not only is he sweet, funny and endearing, he's also very special to me because my late grandfather was named Héctor too. He died when I was 14 months old, so I don't remember much of him, but from what my family tells me about him, I think my relationship with him would've been a lot like Miguel and Héctor's :')

[avakoontz]

My favorite line is "I miss my nose". No matter how sad or mad I get that one line always makes me smile wierdly at my wall

[yasikins]

Y’all, is it just me, or whenever there’s a Quinceñera or some family reunion you get introduced to 10 new family members? Lmao

[LuckyVine]

Victoria was Elena's big sister, not her little sister. The woman you said was Gloria was really named Carmen, and SHE is married to Berto. The woman in purple is Gloria, and SHE is Berto and Enrique's sister.

[IsaacCarlson]

ALSO MY BAD! I ACCIDENTALLY SAID ABUELITA IS MIGUEL'S GREAT GRANDMOTHER, BUT SHE IS JUST HIS GRANDMOTHER! MY BAD!! SO SORRY!

[jessssssgames]

My favorite character hands-down is Héctor. He's extremely talented, only slightly vain, witty, quick, funny, and passionate. He's an amazing father figure wanting nothing for 100 years but to see his daughter again and the flashback to him and Coco? Gets me every time. I can't get enough of his character.

[cipherquest]

I know she's not in the movie much, but something bugs me about cousin Rosa (that young girl). In the end she's playing the violin very well, despite only playing for one year? Unless she's a prodigy she hid her music like Miguel did.

[irisravenhild]

My favorite(s) are Hèctor and Imelda.
(SPOILERS)
I love how they balance each other, they are different;
Imelda's strong personality and Hector's kind personality; but still they are alike.
My favorite scenes are:
1. When Miguel tells Imelda about Hector's death and when she talks back,
you can hear all the feelings Imelda has held in all these years.
2. And when Imelda is on stage and Miguel encourages her to sing (the show must go on)
and givs Hector a guitar so he can play for her, and Imelda get the music sparkle back.

I had no idea the baby was named after Coco. That's so sweet! I think I would have to say Hector is my favorite family member. I always feel so sorry for him. He's a nicely developed character.

I can definitely relate to being confused over such a big family. My fiance is Mexican, and he has a BIG family. Some of them live in Mexico, two of which I met, while others live near him on the east coast. When I see his family during holidays or church, I sometimes forget which person is in which part of the family. I even get some names mixed up despite being with my fiance for three years. It can be a little overwhelming being around so many people, but they're all very sweet. They make me feel like I'm part of the family, despite not being married into it yet. They also make some really great food!

every event I go to on my Mexican side of the family:
who are they
what's their name
how are they related to me

[AnnaMae]

Hector is the best. So relatable and that look on his face at the end when he can finally cross the petal bridge is just feels inducing. I love him and he was wronged in so many ways that he didn't deserve. He's a good guy and a very loving family member, no matter who it is in his family.
