Sometimes, I think I'm cursed.
Because something happened before I was born.
There used to be this family.
Papá, he is a musician.
He and his family sing and dance and expect blessings.
But he also has dreams. To play music in the world.
And one day, he left with his guitar...
... and never returned.
And Mamá...
He doesn't have time to cry over the musician.
After getting rid of all the music from his life,
he found a way to provide for his daughter's needs.
He rolled up his sleeve and learned to make shoes.
He can make candy, or fireworks,
or wrestler pants. But no, he chose to make shoes.
Then he taught his daughter to make shoes.
Then he taught his daughter-in-law.
Then his grandchildren contributed to making shoes.
As the family grows, is the same as the business.
Music has separated his family.
But shoes keep the family intact.
You see, the woman is My grandmother is my grandson. Mamá Imelda.
He died before I was born.
But my family still tells the story of his life...
... every year at Día de los Muertos, Holidays of Death.
And the little girl? She's my great-grandmother, Mamá Coco.
Hello, Mamá Coco.
How are you doing, Julio?
Actually my name is Miguel. Mamá Coco is senile.
But it's good to chat with him. So, I tell everything.
I used to run like this. But now I run like this, faster.
The winner is Luchadora Coco!
I have dimples here, not here.
Dimples, no dimples.
Miguel, eat your food.
My grandmother, she's the daughter of Mamá Coco.
Your body is thin, honey. Add more.
No thanks.
Grandma asked, did you want Putakte again.
Yes?
Grandma guessed you will say it!
Grandma takes care of this house like what Mamá Imelda did.
There can't be music!
♪ Even though it's alive... ♪ / There can't be music!
I think only our family in Mexico who hates music.
And my family has no problem with that. But I...
Go home at lunch, dear ./ I love you.
I'm not like my other family .
Hello, Miguel./ Hello.
Thank you very much! You're welcome, Miguel!
Dante!
Sit down. Go down. Roll over. Hand shake.
Tos!
Smart dog, Dante!
I know, I don't have to like music.
But it's not my fault. But it's her fault!
Ernesto de la Cruz. Great musicians of all time.
In this beautiful square,
Ernesto de la Cruz young took his first step...
... to be the most loved singer in Mexican history.
Starting from an ordinary person who came from Santa Cecilia, like me.
But when he plays music, he makes people fall in love with him.
He starred in many films.
He has the coolest guitar! He can fly!
And he created the best song .
But my favorite song all time is...
♪ Remember me ♪
♪ Even though I have to say goodbye ♪
♪ Remember me ♪
♪ Don't let that make you cry ♪
♪ Even though I'm far away ♪
♪ I hold you in my heart ♪
♪ I sing a secret song for you ♪
♪ Every night we separate Remember me ♪
♪ Even though I have to take a journey away ♪
♪ Remember me ♪
♪ Every time you hear a sad guitar ♪
♪ Know that I'm with you the only way I can ♪
♪ Until you're in my arms again ♪
He lives in the life you dreamed of.
Until 1942.
He was hit by a giant bell.
I want to be like him.
Sometimes, every time I look at de la Cruz,
I get this feeling, is like being connected.
As if he can play music,
maybe someday, I can too!
If it's not for my family.
kid.
I told you to shine shoes, is not your life story.
Oh, yes. Sorry.
I just can't tell about this at home.
If I were you, I'd go to my family and say...
"Hey, I'm a musician. Just accept it!"
I can never say that. / You're a musician, right?
I don't know. I just play music for myself.
Is de la Cruz the best musician in the world ... by hiding the ability?
No! He walked to the square and played loudly!
Look, look. They are preparing for tonight!
Music competition for Holidays of Death.
Do you want to be like your hero? You have to register!
My family will be angry!
If you are too scared, then just enjoy making shoes.
Come on, what's always de la Cruz?
Achieve your dream?
Show your abilities, kid.
I will be your first audience.
Miguel!
Grandma! / What are you doing here?
Don't bother my granddaughter!
Madam, I'm begging you! I just polish my shoes.
I know your tricks, Musician. What did he say to you?
He just shows the guitar. / It's embarrassing!
My grandson is an angel my little darling.
He doesn't want to be a part of your music, musician. Stay away from him.
Poor child! You're fine, honey.
You know it's not good is in this place.
You have to go home. Now.
How many times did you say Uncle. The square is full of musicians.
Yes, Tío Berto. (Tío: Uncle)
Don't! / Go you! Go!
That's just Dante.
Never give the name to a street dog.
They will follow you forever. Now, take Grandma's shoes.
I found your child in the Musicians' Square.
Miguel!
You know how my grandmother feels about the square.
I just shine shoes. / Shoe musicians!
But only in the square are many pedestrians.
If Grandma says: "Don't go to the square", then don't.
But what about tonight? / What's wrong tonight?
There is a talent show. And I think I might...
Register? / Maybe?
You must have the talent to be able to appear on the show.
What is your talent? Shoe polish?
Today is the Day of Death.
No one should leave. Tonight for family.
To the Ofrenda room. Come on, quickly. (Ofrenda: Altar offerings)
Don't stare like that.
The Day of Death is only one night a year...
... our ancestors can come to visit us.
We display their photos in Ofrenda so that their spirits can cross.
That is very important.
If we don't display it, they can't come.
We make all these foods,
put their favorite objects, honey.
All this will keep the family intact.
Grandma doesn't want you to slip away. Where are you going?
I think it's finished.
God.
Being part of this family means being here for this family.
Grandma doesn't want to see you ends like...
Like his father Mamá Coco?
Never call that person! He is better forgotten.
But Grandma is the one who... / Stttt!
I'm just... / Stttt!
But... / Sttt.
Daddy? Daddy's home?
Mother, calm down.
Are you home?
No, ma'am. Calm down I am here.
Who are you?
Take a break, ma'am.
Grandma is hard on you because Grandma cares, Miguel. Miguel?
What will we do with the child?
You're right. Only is what he needs.
It turns out you are. Come in. Come here, Dante. Fast!
You will get me a problem. Someone will hear me later.
I hope there are who want to hear me.
Besides you. OK.
Perfect!
I have to sing. I have to play music.
Music is not just inside me. But I'm music.
When life makes me disappointed. I play my guitar.
The whole world can follow rules, but I have to follow my heart.
You know that feeling like a song in the air...
... and the song was played only for you?
♪ A feeling so close ♪
♪ You can reach and touch it ♪
♪ I never knew ♪
♪ I really want something. But that's true ♪
You must have faith, Sister.
But he never listens.
He will listen to music!
♪ Only songs, only songs ♪
♪ Who has the power to change hearts ♪
Never underestimate the power of music.
But my father, he will never allow me.
I've asked for permission.
If you see your dreams,
You can't let it go away.
You have to reach it!
Mr. de la Cruz, what do you need to achieve your dreams?
I have to believe in my dreams.
Nobody gave me that dream.
But it's all up to me to achieve that dream.
Hold tight and make dreams come true.
Don't hide anymore, Dante. I have to reach my dream!
I will play in the Square Musician even though it killed me.
The Day of Death has already begun!
Not so. We must make the road clear.
These flowers will lead to our ancestors going home.
We don't want spirits to get lost.
We want them to come and enjoy everything...
... the food and drink in Ofrenda.
Mother! Put it where is this table? / On the lawn, honey.
I want this table near the kitchen? / Yes, next to the other.
Hide under! Miguel?
Nothing! Mother father. I...
Miguel, your grandmother has a good idea.
We've all decided.
It's time for you to join with us in the study!
What? / Don't polish shoes anymore.
You will make shoes every day after school.
Miguelitititito We will run a family tradition.
And the Feast of Death! Your ancestors will be very proud.
You will make Huarache shoes like Tía Victoria. (Tía: Bibi)
And Wingtip shoes like Papá Julio.
But what if I'm not good at making shoes?
Miguel. Your family here will guide you.
You're the Rivera family. And the Rivera family is...
Shoemakers forever.
That's just my son! Berto!
Take a good drink. I want to toast.
Dante! No, Dante. Stop it!
No, no, no!
Gitar de la Cruz?
Daddy?
Mamá Coco, is this Papá Ernesto de la Cruz?
Daddy! Father!
Daddy! Father! This is it!
I know who _ My great-grandfather (frivolous).
Miguel, get out of there.
Mamá Coco's father is Ernesto de la Cruz!
What are you talking about? / I will be a musician!
What's this all? Do you keep a secret from your own family?
That's when he spends time in the square.
Filling his head with crazy fantasies. / This is not fantasy.
This man is Ernesto de la Cruz. Great musicians of all time!
We never knew anything about this man!
Or whoever he is, he leaves his family.
This is not the future for you.
Dad says my family will lead me.
De la Cruz is my family.
I should be playing music.
No! Men's music is a curse. Grandma won't allow it.
If you... / Miguel.
Listen to your family. No more music.
Just listen to me playing. / Stop arguing.
Do you want to end up like that person? Forgotten?
Leaving your family _ _renda?
I don't care if is in that stupid Ofrenda.
No! / Mother!
There shouldn't be a guitar. There must be no music.
Come here. You will get better after eating with your family.
I don't want to be in this family!
Miguel! Miguel!
I want to play in the square. Like de la Cruz.
Can I still register? / Do you have a musical instrument?
No. But I can borrow a guitar.
All musicians must bring their own musical instruments.
Look for a guitar, I will register later.
Excuse me, can I borrow from you? / Sorry, son.
Do you have a spare guitar? / No.
I need a guitar for a while. / Get out of here, kid.
Grandpa, what should I do?
"Achieve Your Dreams!"
Don't, don't. Dante, stop it. Shut up
I'm sorry.
Mr. de la Cruz, please don't be angry. I'm Miguel.
Your grandson. I want to borrow this guitar.
Our family thinks music is a curse.
None of them understand. But I know Grandpa will understand.
Grandpa told me to follow the word heart. To reach my dream!
So, if Grandpa doesn't mind,
I will play in the square. As you did!
The guitar is gone!
Someone stole the guitar de la Cruz.
The window is broken. See!
Okay, who is inside?
I'm sorry, this isn't as it seems.
De la Cruz is...
There's nobody here.
Miguel! / Mother!
Miguel, go home. Where are you, Miguel?
God, little boy!
Are you okay? Here let me help.
Thank you. I...
Do you mind...?
See how fast he grows.
Dante!
Can you see me? Wait! What is wrong? Dante!
Sorry.
Miguel?
Miguel? / Miguel?
Are you here? Here. And can you see us?
Our Miguelitititito!
Do you know me?
We're your family, honey.
Tía Rosita? / Right.
Papá Julio? / Hello.
Tía Victoria?
It seems like he's the same once he's not dead yet.
He also doesn't live.
We need Mamá Imelda.
He knows how to fix it.
Yes! It's about Mamá Imelda! / He can't cross!
She's stuck! / In the world of death!
Tío Oscar? Tío Felipe?
Hey, Miguel.
I have a feeling that there is a connection with you.
But if Mamá Imelda doesn't can come with us...
Then we approach him. Let's go!
Come on, Miguel. It is okay.
Dante? Dante! Dante, wait!
You have to stay with me. We don't know where...
This is not a dream. You are really out there.
Do you think there isn't? / I don't know.
I think it's one of the things made for adults...
... which is told to children, like vitamins.
Miguel, vitamins are real.
Now I think maybe vitamins are not real.
dear, it's not good to stare... / God!
Is that Alebrijes! But they are...
Real Alebrijes. Spirit creatures.
They guide souls on their journey.
Pay attention to your steps. They are CHAPTER everywhere.
Welcome in the Land of the Dead.
Please prepare the entry offer.
Welcome. Anything you want to report?
Churros food, from my family.
Very good. Next.
If you experience travel problems, Agent in the Family Reunion Department...
... is there to help you.
Please next family.
Your photos are in Ofrenda belonging to your child.
Welcome to visit.
Thank you./ Thank you.
And remember to return before sunrise.
Welcome to visit.
Next.
Your photo is in Ofrenda Dentist. Happy visiting.
Thank you. / Next?
Yes, it's me. Frida Kahlo.
Can we just skip the scanner?
I am in many Ofrenda.
That will confuse your scanner.
There seems to be no displaying your photo, Frida.
Alright, when I said I was Frida, that was a lie.
And I'm sorry for that.
There are no photos in Ofrenda, is prohibited from crossing the bridge.
I'll be there. Even you don't know I'm leaving.
Almost arrived. A little more...
I certainly can...
Alright. Whatever! Bridge of stupid flowers!
I don't know what to do if no one displays my picture.
Next? / Come on, honey. Now it's our turn.
Welcome, friend. Anything you want to report?
Actually there are.
Hello.
Call for Marta Gonzales-Ramos. Please report to the seventh floor.
I miss my nose.
Come on, help us, friend. We have to go to 12 Ofrenda tonight.
We are not visiting your ex-wife but for the Feast of Death.
I want to talk to people who are responsible here!
I'm sorry, lady. But here is written that no one is displaying your photo.
My family is always displaying a picture of me in Ofrenda.
The devil box doesn't know anything but lying!
Mamá Imelda? / My family!
They don't allow me to cross the bridge.
Tell this woman and the Devil box if my photo is in Ofrenda.
We haven't arrived at Ofrenda. / What? / We have...
Miguel? / Mamá Imelda.
What happened?
Are you the Rivera family?
You're cursed. / What?
The Day of Death is the evening offering for the dead.
You stole from the dead.
But I didn't steal that guitar. Guitar?
She's my great-grandfather He definitely wants me to have it.
We are forbidden from talking about that musician. He is dead for this family.
All of you who are dead.
Sorry. Who is this Alebrije?
This is Dante.
He doesn't look like Alebrije.
He's like an old dog.
Or a sausage that falls off in a haircut.
Whatever he is, I'm very allergic.
But Dante has no hair.
And I don't have a nose and we're still here.
But nobody can explain why I can't cross.
You took my picture from Ofrenda?
Inadvertently! / How do we send him back?
Because this is a family problem,
the way to cancel family curse is...
... by getting blessings from your family.
Only that?
Get blessings from your family and everything returns to normal.
But you have to do it at sunrise.
What happens when sun rises?
God, your hand!
Miguel. Don't faint.
But don't worry.
Your family is here. You can get your blessings right now.
Flower of death. Sorry, madam.
Look at the person who lives and say his name.
Miguel.
Good. Now say, "I bless you."
I bless you.
I bless you home...
... to put back my picture to Ofrenda,
and never play music again.
What? He can't be!
Technically, he may add any conditions he wants.
All right. Then leave the flowers to Miguel.
There are no skulls!
Musician Square, I'm coming.
Only for a moment have you been breaking your promise.
This is unfair, this is my life.
Grandma already has own life.
Papá Julio, I ask for your blessing.
Tía Rosita? Oscar? Felipe? Tía Victoria?
Don't make it difficult, honey. You go home in my way or not.
Grandma really hates music so much?
I won't let you be on the same road as him.
The same path as him. She's my family.
Listen to your Mamá Imelda. / He just worries about you.
So it's natural.
Excuse me, I want to go to the restroom. I'm right back.
Should we let you know or not is there a restroom in the Land of the Dead?
Let's go.
We as a family are looking for a living child.
I want to be a musician, I need blessings from musicians.
We have to find my grandfather.
Stop, kid.
I found the child! Excuse me, everyone.
Excuse me.
No, no. Dante!
Disturbing calm. Escape from the officer.
Faking Unibrow. (Blended eyebrows)
Is it illegal? / Very illegal.
You have to change your behavior, friend.
Friend? It's nice to hear you said that because I have...
... A heavy holiday and I can need a friend now.
And that friend must help each other.
Let me pass the bridge tonight,
and I will pay it.
Do you like de la Cruz? Me and him are friends.
I can give the front row seat for the sunrise event.
I'll take you to the backstage.
You can meet him.
You only need to let me cross the bridge!
I should have locked you for the rest of the holiday.
But my hours are almost gone and I want to visit my family.
So please go away with a warning letter.
Can I take my costume ?
Damn it.
Do you really know de la Cruz?
Who wants... You're still alive!
Yes, I'm still alive. And I want to go back to the Land of the Living.
And I need thanks de la Cruz.
That's a strange thing.
She's my great grandfather.
What are you?
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait. Not. Wait, wait, wait.
Yes! You can go back to the Land of the Living!
Do you know? Maybe it's not like...
Son, I can help you. You can help me.
We help each other. But what matters, you can help me.
Miguel! / I'm Héctor.
Good.
Wait for me, boy!
He can die. I need my spirit guide. Pepita.
Who holds Miguel's flowers?
This. Alebrije is good.
Don't move. Looks up. To the top!
Alright. Ta-da!
Looks like a dead person.
Listen, Miguel. This place is because of memories.
If you are well remembered, they display your photos and you can...
... cross the bridge and visit people live on the Day of Death.
Unless you are me. / You can't cross?
No one has displayed a picture of me. But you can change it!
Is this you?
Handsome, right?
So, you took me to my grandfather...
... then I put your photo when I got home?
Smart kids! Yes! Great idea! One more.
De la Cruz is difficult to find...
... and I have to cross the bridge as soon as possible.
Tonight. Do you have another family here?
Someone more is easily visited?
None.
Don't fool me, kid. You have another family.
Only de la Cruz.
If you can't help me, I'll look for it myself.
Alright, kid. OK. I'll take you to your grandfather.
This won't be easy. He's a busy person. What are you doing?
I walk like a skull. Blending.
No. The skull doesn't work like that.
That's how you walk. / No. Stop it!
Spectacular Sunrise Ernesto de la Cruz & apos; s? Cool!
Every year, your grandfather fills in that stupid show...
... as a sign of completion Hari Raya of Death.
And you can take me there!
You said you got a seat ticket in front of you!
I'm lying. Forgive me.
Be patient, son. Come on I brought you to him.
How?
Because I happen to know where he practices.
You'd better bring my dress, Héctor.
Hello, Chick!
Halo./ Ceci, the dress is gone.
God!
I have to put on the dress to 40 dancers at sunrise.
Because of you, I was told to send Frida...
Dante! We can't go here.
Don't, Dante! Back!
You! How can you enter here?
I just followed...
Xolo dogs are great! (Mexican dog breed)
A haunted spirit guide. Whose spirit do you want to tell?
I don't think he's a spirit guide.
Alebrijes in this world can resemble various forms.
They are semestrious strength.
Or maybe he's just an ordinary dog. Come here, I need your opinion.
You're the audience. Darkness.
And from the darkness, is a giant papaya.
Dancers appear from papaya, and the dancers are me.
And they drink their mother's milk, which is a cactus plant.
Which is me too. And the milk is tears.
Is that too clear?
I think it's easy to understand.
Can use music. What if added...
Then...
And what if everything is in fire?
Yes! Fire! Every where!
Inspiring! You have the soul of an artist.
Dancers come out. The music sound starts to disappear, the lights go out.
And Ernesto de la Cruz goes up on stage!
He plays a few songs, the sun rises, the audience claps...
Excuse me, where are de la Cruz the real one?
Ernesto doesn't take part in training!
She's too busy entertaining a fancy party at the top of her tower.
Son, you can't go from me like that.
Stop bothering celebrities.
You said my grandfather was here!
She's in the middle of the city is having a big party.
Embarrassing. He did not take training.
If you are good friends, why doesn't he invite you?
Why is your grandfather he didn't invite you?
Hey, Gustavo! Do you know about this party?
Not just anyone!
If you're not on the guest list, you can't enter, Chorizo.
That's Chorizo! Choricito!
Funny. Very funny. / Chorizo?
She's famous! Come on Ask how he died.
I don't want to talk about it. / He choked on Chorizo!
I don't choke, okay?
I'm food poisoning and that's a big difference.
This is why I don't like musicians. A collection of arrogant people.
I'm a musician! / Really?
If you want to meet Ernesto, there is a music competition...
... on Square de la Cruz. The winner can play at the party.
No, no. Son, you're crazy if you think...
I have to get thanks to my grandfather!
Do you know where I can get a guitar?
I have an acquaintance.
Have you found it, Pepita? Have you found our child?
Footprints! / This is the Rivera's family shoes.
Size seven! / Half.
Certainly./ Miguel.
Why do you want to be a musician?
My grandfather is a musician!
Who spends his life performing in front of a crowd.
No thanks. Not!
What do you know? How far away?
We're almost there.
Hurry up, kid. Come on.
Cousin Héctor! / You guys! Hey, Tío!
How are you? / Are they all your family?
On one side. We all have no photos in Ofrenda.
No family has returned. Almost forgotten.
So we all call each other: Cousin, or Tío, or whatever.
Héctor! / Tía Chelo!
Thank you very much.
Leave it for me! Is Chicharrón available?
In the bungalow. I don't know whether he wants to receive guests.
Who doesn't like the visit from the cousin of Héctor?
Good evening, Chicharrón!
I don't want to see your stupid face, Héctor.
Come on. Now is the Day of Death. I brought a small offering.
Get out of here. Definitely.
But the thing is, me and my friend, Miguel...
We really want to borrow your guitar.
My guitar? / Yes.
My favorite guitar? / I promise, we will return it.
Like when you promised to return my car ? Or my little fridge?
Do you know... / Or is my napkin good?
My rope? My femur?
No, it's not like that time. / Where's my thigh bone? You...
Are you okay, friend? / I'm fading, Héctor.
I can feel it. I didn't even play the guitar.
Play songs for me.
No. You know I don't play anymore, the guitar is for the kid.
You want it, you have to pay for it.
Only for you, friend.
Any request?
You know my favorite song, Héctor.
♪ Everyone knows Juanita ♪
♪ Each eye has a different color ♪

Not the lyrics. / There is a small child here.
♪ His hair is like a wild rose ♪

Restoring memories.
Thank you.
Wait. What happened?
He has been forgotten.
When nobody remembers you in the world of living people,
You will disappear from this world. We call it the last death.
Where does he go? / Nobody knows.
But I've met him. I can remember it when I come back!
No, it's not like that how it works, kid.
Our memories must be inherited to those who know us in life...
... the story they will tell about us.
But no one is still alive to inherit the story of Cheech's life.
In the end, it will happen to everyone.
Come on, de la Cruzcito, there's a contest that you have to win.
You said you hate musicians. You never told me you were a musician.
How do you think can I get to know your grandfather?
We used to play music together. He taught me everything he knew.
No way! You play with Ernesto de la Cruz...
... the biggest musician all that time?
You're funny. Maybe the most beautiful eyebrows of all time.
But is he music? Not too much.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Welcome on Square de la Cruz!
Show time, kid.
Take it! T-shirt! Doll head shake!
Welcome everyone!
Who is ready for music?
It's a competition for musicians, Ladies and gentlemen.
The winner will play for the the Mastro himself, Ernesto de la Cruz...
... at the party tonight!
That's our ticket, son.
We start the competition!
So, what are your plans? What will you play?
Definitely "Remember Me."
No! Do not pick that one.
Come on. That's the song that is the most popular!
Too popular.
♪ Remember me even though I have to travel a long way ♪
♪ Remember me ♪
♪ Don't let that make you cry ♪
What about Poco Loco? / That's just a song!
De la Cruzcito? Get ready. Los Chachalacos, you're next.
Los Chachalacos!
Are you always nervous before appearing?
I don't know. I've never appeared.
What? You said you were a musician!
I'm a musician! I mean, I will be a musician...
... once I win.
Is that your plan? Not.
You have to win. Your life depends on your victory.
You have never appeared! Let me.
No! I have to do this. / Why?
If I don't appear and doesn't play the song,
How can I be called a musician? / What's important?
Because I don't just want to get a blessing from de la Cruz,
but I also have to prove it that I am worthy.
Really touch your heart in an inappropriate time!
Alright. Do you want to appear? Then show up!
First, you have to be proud of the nerves.
Now give your best shout.
My best shout? / Let's shout! The hard one.
It tastes good. Alright, now you are.
Come on, kid.
De la Cruzcito, it's your turn!
Miguel, look at me. Look at me. You can do it.
Take their attention and don't let go.
Make them listen to your song, kid. You can do it.
De la Cruzcito!
What did he do? Why isn't he singing?
Show back the dog sing it!

We are looking for a living child. / Around the age of 12?
Have you ever seen a living child?
♪ I'm not crazy ♪
You're great! I am proud of you.
Again! Again! Again!
Where do you want to go? / We have to leave here!
What? Have you gone crazy? We will win this contest.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have an emergency announcement.
Please note that there are children who are still alive. His name is Miguel.
Before tonight he ran away from his family.
They only want to send him back to the Land of the Living.
Wait. You said de la Cruz your only family.
The only person who can repatriate you.
I do have another family, but...
So far, you should have taken my picture?
But they hate music! I need blessings from musicians.
You're lying to me! / _ Hypocrisy.
Look at me. I'm forgotten, Miguel.
I don't even know if I will survive tonight.
I don't want to miss the chance to cross the bridge...
... just because you want the stupid musical fantasy.
That's not stupid! / I brought you to your family.
Let me go! / Later you'll give me thanks.
You don't want to help me. You only care about yourself!
Take your photo. Go away from me!
No!
Hey, boy! Where are you going?
boy! Forgive me! Come back!
Dante, shut up! Not! Dante, stop it.
He can't help me. Dante! Stop it!
Stop it! Do not bother me!
You're not a spirit guide. You're just a stupid dog! Go away from here!
That's it! / That's a living child!
I heard about him. Look! / He's still alive!
She's still alive. / The child is still alive!
This nonsense ends now, Miguel!
I bless you and you will go home.
I don't want blessings from Grandma!
Miguel, stop!
Back! Miguel!
I'm trying to save your life!
Grandma ruined my life! / What?
Only music makes me happy. And Grandma wants to take it.
Grandma will never understand.
♪ Even though my life is at stake, Llorona ♪
♪ I won't stop love you ♪
I think Grandma hates music.
I like it. I remember that feeling...
... when my husband plays music...
... and I sing and nothing else matters.
But when we have Coco,
suddenly there is something in my life that is...
... more important than music. I want to settle down.
He wants to play music in the world.
We sacrifice to achieve what we want.
Now you have to make a choice.
But I don't want to take sides!
Why doesn't my grandmother lead me?
That's what should be done by the family.
Supports. But Grandma didn't ever support.
Have fun! / Exclamation!
El Santo. I'm a big fan! Do you mind if I...
Thank you, sir.
Invitation? / Calm down. I'm grandson of Ernesto.
Excuse me, everyone... / Friends, crazy boy.
You're amazing tonight! / You guys too!
Fellow musicians, I need help.
Winner of the competition. Congratulations, children.
Thank you, guys!
Enjoy the party, little musician! / Thank you!
Look! That's Ernesto!
De la Cruz!
Mr. de la Cruz!
Sorry! Mr. de la Cruz! Mr. de la...
When you see an opportunity, don't let go.
You have to reach it.
We're almost there, Dante.
Mr. de la Cruz! Mr. de la...
But what should we do? Useless
You must have faith, Sister. / But he never listens.
He will listen to music.

Are you okay, kid?
It turns out you are! You are that child! Children who come from the Land of the Living
Do you know about me?
Everyone talks about it. Why are you here?
I'm Miguel. Your grandson.
I have grandchildren?
I need your blessings so that I can go home and become a musician.
Same as you. Our other families don't want to listen.
But I hope you listen to me.
My child, with your talent like that, where might I not listen?
I have grandchildren!
Look! That's Frida! Yes, it's me. Frida Kahlo.
An honor, lady. / Thank you.
Hey, Negrete! Infante! Have you met my granddaughter?
My granddaughter.
He is still alive. And true musicians.
There are dimples. There is no. There are dimples.
There are no dimples!
For our friendship.
I will move Heaven and Earth for your sake, friend. Toast!
Poison!
You know, I did all the actions themselves.
♪ Even though I have to say goodbye. Remember me... ♪
All of this came from my fans who were extraordinary in the Land of the Living.
They gave a lot of offerings to me.
What's wrong? Is this excessive? You look tired.
No! This is amazing! But?
I searched for you all this time.
You're the one who is really successful!
But have you ever regretted it? Choosing music above all?
It was difficult at that time.
Goodbye at home. Going alone...
Leave your family?
Right. But I have to choose.
A person cannot deny what he will become.
And you, my grandson, will be a musician!
We are both artists, Miguel.
We cannot become members of one family.
It's our family.
The fireworks have started!
Soon the party will cross the city for my Spectacular Sunrise.
Miguel, you have to come to the show!
You will be a guest My honor!
Are you serious? / Sure, kid.
I can't. I have to go back before sunrise.
I really have to take you home.
This is an honor.
I'm sorry for seeing you leave, Miguel.
I hope you die as soon as possible.
You know what I mean.
Miguel, I bless you. / We agreed, little boy.
Who are you? What does this mean?
Frida! I think you won't succeed.
You said you would take my picture. You promised, Miguel.
Do you know this person?
I just met with him tonight.
He said he knew you.
Héctor?
Please, Miguel. Put this photo on me.
Friend, you're forgotten.
And whose fault? / Corctor, please...
You stole my songs. My song makes you famous.
What?
If I'm forgotten, it's because you never said I was the creator!
That's crazy! De la Cruz created all the songs.
Do you want to tell him or just me?
Héctor, I never meant that.
We made a team that was great, but you died...
... and I just sing your song...
... because I want the part of you to stay alive.
Very generous! / You really play together.
I don't want to argue about this. I just want you to be honest.
Miguel put my picture, and I can cross the bridge.
I can see my daughter. Ernesto, remember the night I left?
That's been a long time.
We drink together and you say...
... you will move Heaven and Earth for your best friend.
Now I ask you.
Heaven and Earth? Like in the movie?
What? / That scene Don Hidalgo cheers.
In the film de la Cruz, "El Camino a Casa".
I'm talking about my real life, Miguel. It is here. See!
There are no right words. This is for toast.
For our friendship!
I will move Heaven and Earth for your sake.
But in the film, Don Hidalgo put poison in his drink.
Cheers! / Poison!
That night, Ernesto. On the night I went...
We perform for months. I miss home...
... and I packed my songs.
Do you want to give up now when we almost reach our dreams?
This is your dream. You set it up.
I can't do this without your songs, Héctor.
I'm home, Ernesto.
Hate me if you want, but my decision is round.
I can never hate you.
If you have to go, we toast.
For our friendship.
I will move Heaven and Earth for your sake. Toast!
You took me to the train station. But I feel my stomach hurt.
I think there must be something I eat.
Maybe it's because of Chorizo, friend.
Or something I drink.
I wake up but die.
You poisoned me.
You're confused about the movie with reality, Héctor.
During this time, I thought was only because of bad luck.
I never thought that you might take...
How could you do it! _ Héctor!
Security guard! Security!
You took everything from me! You rat!
Take care of him. He is sick.
I just want to go home. Not! Not!
I'm sorry. Where were we?
You will bless me. / Right.
Miguel, my reputation...
That is very important to me. I don't like it if you think...
That you killed Héctor for the sake of his songs?
You don't think so, right?
No. Everyone knows you're a good person.
Papá Ernesto, my blessing?
Security guard? Take care of Miguel.
He will renew his stay.
What? But I am your family! / And Héctor is my best friend.
Success doesn't come for free, Miguel.
You must be prepared to do anything to achieve your dreams.
I know you understand.
No! Not!
Release! Not!
Please! Can anyone hear me? I want to go home.
Héctor? / Kid?
Héctor! Apparently you're right. I should go back to my family.
They say don't like de la Cruz,
but I don't listen.
I said I don't care if they remember me.
I don't care if I'm in their stupid Ofrenda.
Hey, kid. Calm down
I said I don't care.
Héctor! Héctor?
He forgets me.
Who? / My daughter.
He is the reason you want to cross the bridge.
I just want to see him again.
I shouldn't have left Santa Cecilia.
I wish I could apologize.
I hope I can tell him that his father is trying to go home.
That his father really loved him.
My Coco...
Coco?
Where did you get this photo?
That's Mamá Coco-ku. That's my Mamá Imelda.
Is that you?
Are we a family?
I always hope that I will meet him again.
That he will miss me.
Maybe by placing my photo. But that never happened.
Do you know the worst part?
Even though I've never seen Coco in the world of living people,
at least one day I'll meet with you here. Hug him.
But he's the last person who remembers me.
When he died...
You will disappear. You can never meet him.
Forever.
You know, I've been creating songs for him.
We usually sing it every night at the same time.
No matter how far away.
What I didn't sing to him for the last time.

He stole your guitar. He stole your songs.
You should be remembered in the world, not de la Cruz!
I created "Remember Me" not for the world, but for Coco.
I'm really a sad Grandpa.
Grandpa kidding? I thought I have a relationship with a murderer.
But Grandfather fixed it. During my life, there was something...
... which makes me different.
And I never knew where it came from.
But now I know. It came from Grandpa.
I'm proud of us one family! I am proud to be his family!
I'm proud to be his family!
Dante?
Dante!
That's Dante!
Imelda! / Héctor.
You look healthy.
Dante! You already know that during this he is my Papá Héctor!
You are a true spirit guide.
Who is a good spirit guide ? You!
Dante!
They are there!
Miguel! Miguelito! She is fine.
Thank God.
dear, I'm very worried!
Thank God we found you on time.
And you, how many times do I have to evict you?
Imelda.
I don't want to deal with you! Not in the world or in the hereafter!
I spent years protecting my family from your mistakes.
He spent 5 minutes with you...
... and I have to get it out from the sinkhole!
I'm not there because of Héctor.
He was there because of me. He tried to take me home!
I didn't hear it, but it turned out he was right.
Nothing is more important except the family.
I'm ready to receive my grandmother's blessing.
And the conditions. But first, I have to look for de la Cruz.
To get a picture of Héctor.
What? / So he can see Coco again.
Héctor must be in our Ofrenda. He is part of our family.
He left this family!
He tried to go home for Grandma and Coco. But de la Cruz killed him!
That's right, Imelda. / Why is it if it's true?
You left me with a child who must be taken care of...
... and I have to just forgive you?
Imelda, me...
Héctor!
My time is almost gone. This is because of Coco.
He forgot you.
Grandma doesn't have to forgive her. But we shouldn't forget him.
I want to forget you.
I want Coco to forget you too, but...
This is my fault. Not your fault.
I'm sorry, Imelda.
Miguel, if we help you get the picture, are you going home?
Can't there be music?
Families must take precedence.
I can't forgive you.
But I will help you.
So, how do we capture de la Cruz?
Maybe I know how.
Good luck, kids. / Thank you, Frida.
Here let me help... / Don't touch me!
It's clear about our plan? / Find a photo of Héctor.
Submitting his photo to Miguel. / Returning Miguel.
Have you got the flowers?
Now, we only need to find de la Cruz.
Yes?
Looks like I know you.
That's to kill love in my life!
Who... Who... / He talks about me!
Am I love in your life?
I don't know. I'm still angry with you.
Héctor! How are you...
And that's because you tried to kill my granddaughter.
Grandson? / He's talking about me!
You! Wait. Do you have a relationship with Héctor?
Photo of it!
Pursue him!
Security guard! Help me.
You said love in my life. / I don't know what I said.
That's what I heard.
Get ready, sir. You have 30 minutes left.
Miguel! I have it!
Hurry up! Come on!
Ladies and gentlemen, the only one is Ernesto de la Cruz!
Get him off the stage!

You will go home.
You're not going anywhere.
Imelda!
Back off! Back off! You all retreat. Don't go forward.

Ernesto, stop it! Don't disturb the child.
I've worked hard, Héctor.
It's hard to let him destroy everything.

You're the one who killed him and stole his songs!
Killer?

I'm sorry, friend. But the program must continue to run.
I'm begging you, my family.

No! We can still find the photo.
Miguel, soon the sun rises.
No. I can't leave Grandpa.
I promise I'll put a picture of Grandpa and Grandpa will meet Coco.
Our time is up, son.
No! He can't forget Grandpa!
I just want him to know that I love him.
Héctor! / We bless you, Miguel.
Unconditionally.
No! Papá Héctor, please!
No!
Go home. I promise I won't let Coco forget Grandpa!
That's it!
Miguel! Stop!
Where have you been? / I have to meet Mamá Coco.
What did you do with... Give it to Grandma!
Miguel, stop! Miguel! Miguel!
Mamá Coco? Can you hear me? This is Miguel.
I saw Papá. Remember? Papá?
I'm begging you! If Grandma forgets it, she will leave. Forever.
Miguel, open the door!
This. This is his guitar, right? He used to play it for Grandma?
See? This is it! Papá! Remember? Papá?
Miguel! / Mamá Coco, please! Don't forget him.
What did you do to him? Calm down, ma'am.
What entered you?
Dad thought Daddy would lose you, Miguel.
I'm sorry, Father.
We are together now. That's the most important thing.
Not all.

Let's apologize!

And on this side, one of the biggest treasures of Santa Cecilia.
The home of the creator of the honorable song, Héctor Rivera.

And the man is Papá Julio.
And there is Tía Rosita and Tía Victoria.
And both of them are Oscar and Felipe.
