![]() Miguel can even be seen coloring in the yellow tooth before he plays his duet with Ernesto de la Cruz's tape. A closer look at the guitar's design reveals a golden tooth in the skeleton on the guitar's neck. Insider has an eagle-eyed breakdown of this plot detail that foreshadowed the twist at the end of Coco. But this reveal may have been hinted at much earlier than we expected: in Hector's guitar. I had an inkling that Hector had a connection to Miguel as soon as he was introduced with the claim that he "knew Ernesto de la Cruz," but the twist still took me for a ride. That's why Miguel thinks Ernesto is his ancestor - because Ernesto is never seen without that eerie skeleton-shaped guitar from then on. Ernest and Hector were a musical duo, until Hector was unceremoniously poisoned by Ernesto who stole his music and guitar. In a surprising - and somewhat melodramatic - turn of events, it's revealed that Hector is Miguel's great-great-grandfather, not Ernesto de la Cruz. Along the way, Miguel runs into a ragamuffin skeleton named Hector (Gael Garcia Bernal) who he may have more in common with than he thinks. Desperate to chase his dreams, Miguel sets off to find his great-great-grandfather, who he believes to be his idol, the famous star Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt). But that blessing comes at a price - his family has banned music after his great-great-grandfather abandoned his wife and daughter to pursue a career as a musician, and his deceased Mama Imelda ( Alanna Ubach) refuses to let up on this ban, ordering Miguel to give up his music once he returns to the Land of the Living. ![]() I heard plenty of gasps in my theater when this twist was revealed, so needless to say, spoilers for Coco follow.Ĭoco follows an aspiring young musician named Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) who accidentally gets stuck in the Land of the Dead, and must get the blessing of a family member to return to the Land of the Living. ![]() No, they're not just your run-of-the-mill Pixar easter eggs - these pertain to a major plot point that is revealed toward the end of the movie in an eleventh-hour twist. But amid all the visual splendor are a few plot details that you may have missed upon first, or even second, viewing of this delightful film. ![]()
