Every time you give us a thumbs up a Narwhal gets its horn! (maybe..)

It made me so happy every time he said "alejibre" instead of "alebrije".
And yeah, all I can say is that Pepita is awesome in all senses and I love her!

[zenakuokami]

Fantastic Alibreije and where to find them.

[SuperCarlinBrothers]

What crazy animal combination would you make?!

[AlwayZash]

"Hey guys, remember when we used to *grow food* ? Yeah, this is better"

😂😂😂😂

[tetematete]

You did not offend me. You just made me laugh.... HARD

[JarvisP]

As a Mexican I can tell you that we are not offended for you trying to enunciate correctly our words

[IsaacCarlson]

I WAS REALLY WONDERING ABOUT THIS! I'm very excited to see Coco. Thanks for the video J!

[FantasyAddict]

The Alebrijes could be guardians to the afterlife, like how Cerberus (or Fluffy) protected the gateway to the underworld, and the reason people know about them is that when the artist had a fever, he was *close to death, * so that could be the connection right there!

[kitsuthreads]

Pepita reminds me of the giant jungle saber-tooth cat from "The Croods." Like it could be the kitten before being Pepita!!!

Watching you trying to say Oaxaca is so awesome. And appologizing ever 2 minutes. Thank you. I know I am late watching this but it brightened my day. Thank you guys. ❤

[cecegomez]

The abuelita with the chancla!! That's what I'm diggin', also the music.

[PinkiGirl]

When J's talking about a guy having dreams about strange colorful animals, all I can think about is how he could possibly have a similar situation to Jacob Kowalski in Fantastic Beasts, the time period even matches up! Witches and Wizards do exist!

I'm a native Spanish speaker and i have to admit it was very funny to hear you talking my language. Don't worry, you didn't do it so bad and i don't think Mexico is going to get angry. Also, i love your videos.

[franciscomendez]

Italian accent in Spanish... So a Argentinian accent lol

I don't know why you say that "alebrijes" have lost popularity. In fact, in Mexico City in late October there is an annual Parade of Alebrijes in which nearly 200 enormous figures are wheeled down the streets of downtown. After the parade the alebrijes are put on display along one of the main boulevards until after the Day of the Dead. Because of that, they are sort of becoming associated with the Day of the Dead. But you are right, they originally did not have any connection with the holiday.

I very much enjoyed this video. Don't worry about your pronunciations, you were pretty much spot on. Also "Pepe" or "Pepito" are short nickname type variations of Jose (Joseph or Joe). So while "Pepita" does translate to pumpkin seed, it is more likely the feminine form of "Pepito", so her real name could be a form or derivitive of "Josefina" (Josephine). Thanks for all your great content and taking the time to read this whole thing. Can't wait for your next video. :)

Aww I feel so beloved! I'm sure other Mexican viewers felt that too. I also loved correcting him from time to time 😂.

[masonm.]

4:50 - 5:10 was the best 20 seconds of my life...

[davideostudio]

Another thing that could be possible about the alebrijes in Coco is that since they act as spirit guides in The Land of the Dead, they could also be called psychopomps. They're basically spirits that guide souls to the afterlife and can take on any form

I’m so happy Pixar included this. Alebrijes! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽💞
By the way: I’m Mexican I’ve already saw Coco and booooy I cry it was just perfect! It explained this tradition so beautiful.
I wonder how people that is not Mexican would understand this. It’s just
P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!! Viva mi Mexico señores!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽😭
