Even when utilizing music, Pixar plays as fair as possible to its past in Coco. Characters here do not burst into song to express their feelings, a la Frozen or countless other Disney films.

Throughout Coco, Miguel’s struggle with his family, as genuine and sincere as they may be, mirrors that of Pixar and Disney (or at least Pixar as a major unit and some of its employees).

He’s got a fair bit of talent on the guitar as well, idolizing the long-dead singer Ernesto De La Cruz (Benjamin Bratt), who he also believes may be his great-great-grandfather.
