Did You Know In COCO…

There is actually an early indication that Miguel’s great-great grandfather isn’t really Ernesto de la Cruz. Although the picture of his ancestor has his face torn off, we do see that the man has a belt buckle of two guitars crossing (hinting at Hector and Ernesto’s double act). However, when we meet Ernesto, his belt buckle only has a flourish of decoration, with no guitars present. This not only identifies Ernesto as the wrong man, but also indicates that Ernesto cares about other things than music.

Movie: Coco

The designer: I put two guitars because it looked better

[nicole_onyoutube]

And also when he says “I give you my blessing” to Miguel, the marigold petal didn’t glow, but when Hector does it, it glows

[ericatrevino]

The petal didn’t glow when Ernesto said, “Miguel, I give you my blessing.”

[JohnAdautojr]

One thing I noticed when watch coco when Ernesto when he says I give you my blessing it never glows like when his actual family does it

[BlairCraftToons]

Better indicator of the true grandfather is the design on the guitar. The skull decoration has a gold tooth. Hector has a gold tooth in the same place.
The gold tooth must’ve been something like a trademark for him as a musician.

There’s also the fact that Hector and Ernesto have different body shapes- The man in the picture doesn’t have the same structure as Ernesto 😭

Ernesto: “I have several belt buckles tho”

[sebas_hi]

You used his belt as an example! What about the part where when he gives his blessing the petal doesn’t glow why does no one ever mention that

[virginiamontaldo]

Ernesto de la Cruz is the closest thing to a real Disney villain we got in years and...he's Pixar.

[Buck_Glenn]

I pretty much figured it out the second Ernesto said "I taught De La Cruz everything he knows"

I pretty much zoned out until I saw the twist reveal cause it became too obvious after that point.

[KaitosAMV]

There's another detail that we realized that their not related and happens when Ernesto de la Cruz says "I give you my blessings" the petal didn't glow after

[shadowdemon]

Man I put it together without any of those hints it just felt like it wasn't that guy meanwhile the guy helping seemed to be a perfect fit

[Darklordlel]

It also hints somewhere else because when Imelda gave Miguel the first blessing the petal immediately started glowing but it didn't when de la Cruz said it

[claudefrolltomstein]

In his defense though, it's a good thing to not ONLY care about music. 😂

[bijulibharali]

Coco is my favourite movie (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

[nickw.]

The giveaway is the family claiming Miguel’s great-great grandfather was forgotten; but everyone knows Ernesto?

[mbaelstromos]

The Gold Tooth on the guitar is the same on on Hector. But I pieced it together with Hector fitting the description of whom Miguel was searching for. Also, Ernesto is too big to be the guy in that torn picture

[SniperOnSunday]

The thing is that despite the man in the photograph being Hector, he doesn't match the shape of the man in the picture, neither alive nor dead.

[MonkeDMan]

Another theory: Coco was actually about the dead, and this was hinted by the multiple mentions of the dead and the skeletons 😱

[k-boi]

Isn't the fact that the Riviera Family having a different chin shape compared to Ernesto also an indicator that he isn't related to Miguel?
