Guys u should react to horror movie TALK TO ME is a banger 🔥🔥🔥💪
I was hesitant at first to watch this movie back in the days but I finally watched it, at it went straight into a top five. it is so so good. and I still can't watch it without bawling my eyes out. It is up there together with Up and Wall-E
You should watch encanto next
Idk anyone who can make it they this movie tearless. Not even rewatching. I cry Everytime. It's funny Quinn said perfection cuz my grandkids keep trying to get me to watch new Disney movies and I refuse. When they ask why I'm like, the last animated movie I watched was CoCo and it was perfect and everything else after that is so disappointing so I don't watch anymore
Spy x family?
don’t get me wrong, but I LOVE seeing you guys crying 😂 it’s just shows how emotional human beings truly are ❤
me as well!! this will be a rewatch for months😍🤩 I love their genuine reactions!
I rewatch this movie for many times and i still cry while watching this
It’s great that you aren’t afraid to show your emotions and that’s an important thing to show that it’s ok for guys to get emotional.
Ikr.. Finally a guy who looks like me watching this.. Whole face quivering. Frankly idk how anyone watches this with a straight face
@@ChrisReactor1 absolutely
I LOVE how they portrayed Hector without shoes for the entire movie, because he was literally thrown out of a family of cobblers. But when they accepted him back he also got his shoes back. It always chokes me up.
Actually I don’t think Hector EVER had owned a pair of Rivera shoes because he left before they made shoes, he probably wore out the shoes he had until they were unusable. That’s why he’s shoeless.
They were not cobblers until after he died.
@@MacCheekz1990can you confirm that? There's no set time mentioned in the movie for Imelda starting her business and Hector's death.
@@kenkakuknight What?! It's right there in the beginning. Where it tells the story. That Imelda thought he left her and never returned, so they had to make money somehow so she started to learn how to make shoes and passed it on for generations.
@@MacCheekz1990 they became cobblers after he left. His time of death is unknown in relation to when they started cobbling shoes. You're conflating the two events (Hector's death and Hector's departure are two different events). The sequence of events, could very well be: Hector left, X amount of time passed, Imelda learned to make shoes, X amount of time passes, Hector tries to return home, gets poisoned and dies. You cannot say "they were not cobblers until after Hector died" unless you know exactly when they started making shoes, and when Hector died.
The raw emotions The Oak is displaying makes this reaction that much better. He’s the one that always watches with the straightest face out the group, yet this movie hit him the hardest I’ve seen….but trust me, every part he teared up at were the parts that got me, too😩
He leaked a lot of sap. Big branches cry too.
That last bit where they put Mama Coco’s photo on the ofrenda ALWAYS breaks me, that feeling of putting your grandparents’ (or any member of the family) pictures for the first time on your own ofrenda when they pass… it’s a mix of emotions, sadness because they’re not with us anymore but happiness because they’ll visit you that special day
I understand rthat feeling perfectly. We lost our Madrina to the covid, she was 97 and it this exactly how I felt putting her photo
@@freakda96 ❤️
As a regular fan, I'm mad you guys took forever to react to this movie, lol. As a Mexican fan, I'm glad you guys waited until the actual dia de Muertos to release this. Thank you for respecting my culture, and I'm hoping you love it as much as I did.
🙏🤜🤛😁 this story was fantastic!
@larahedge8960 I suspected that wasn’t a coincidence 😉
@BaddMedicine I'm so glad you guys loved it so much! Even though this is at least the 12th time I watch it, I still cried with you guys 🥹. Maybe you guys could try and do an ofrenda for your love ones next year.
@@marybrown6128I'm sure it wasn't. As soon as I saw what was coming up this week on their calendar I knew what day it was coming out.
Here in brazil we have a similar day, its called dia dos finados
The scene with the grandma always gets me 😢
Never thought I'd see a Disney movie with jokes about a grandma suffering from dementia and making it work.
Yeah, that one and also with the old man that left for good leaving behind only a guitar..that was so heartbreaking for me
That scene makes me ugly cry every time. The way the music brought her back and made her so happy. So many feels. 😭
My grandma was so excited that they were making a film about our culture. She didn’t make it to see the movie, but Coco has a huge place in my heart because of that.
My mom passed on April, then in October Coco movie came out. It was VERY EMOTIONAL for me. I know she would have love it, for sure. This movie reminds me of my mother and my grandma at same time. This is like the 5th time I watch it and I can't stop pouring rivers of tears. I talk to my children about their great-abuelita, I tell stories about her. I tell my children about their abuelita's childhood, like how beautifully she used to sing. Since she was little (just like Miguel). I can't let them be forgotten: they will live in our memories forever.
Thank you for reacting to this movie. Your raw emotions showed your sensibility. I hope no member of your family is ever forgotten.
I remember crying my eyes out in the theater opening weekend because I had recently gone through a personal loss in my family. Not a single dry eye or clear nose that night. And TO THIS DAY I still cant get through that ending without a few tears running by. My favorite Pixar movie, hands down
Man, I just wanted to give the Oak a big hug. I love how hard he felt this movie.
I feel like the Oak is a big teddy bear lol he's a tough looking guy, but you can tell there's a lot of tenderness & emotion there too
@@lilchief1117 💯 agree
ME TOO!!
i could tell it touched something very personal for him before he even talked about his dads passing. i know this movie hit close to home for me too because Coco reminded me of my late grandmother
He always has the most insightful and heartfelt reactions. I love seeing him really get the emotional core of the movies they watch.
Poor Oak, spent the last 10 minutes leaking from his eyes like a busted pipe.
In all fairness, even after watching this several times before, the last 10 minutes always gets me emotional. One of those animated films where every single element, from the acting to the music, to the concept and the actual realisation - eveything was on its A game. Top Tier Pixar for sure.
I love it when Oak gets emotional over animations, such as UP. Testament our big guy just has a big heart with a story. As he mentioned. His dad's passing two years ago and anniversary is coming up. Our blessing for you and your fam.
That said, I think The Good Dinosaur may be another one to get into his feels.
Encanto was so wildly popular, but I'm always like "Yeah, but have you seen Coco?" It's amazing and I don't see how anyone can't shed at least 1 tear while watching it. I've seen it several times as well as many reactions, yet here I was wiping my eyes with you guys.
Encanto is okay, but it can’t top Coco!
Both Encanto and Coco became two of my favourite films immediatly after watching them. And i cried my eyes out in both 🥲
@@aloha803 I still give a little edge to Up and Inside Out, this would be my number 3 Pixar film. For me these 3 are the best written Pixar films, with so much detail and just so smart. I really hope they do Encanto soon! Honestly it's the best Disney film they've made since Coco, I looked up all the animated films that came out after this and none of them were as good as Encanto.
Encanto was cute, but Coco is one of top Pixar movies of all time!
That final sequence with Miguel singing to Coco ALWAYS gets me. I know what's coming, but it doesn't matter. One of my favorite Disney/Pixar movies ever. The messages are so wholesome and even though it's a newer movie, I could see this becoming a truly timeless Disney classic.
It's been 7 years. I think that's enough time for the recency bias to wear off, and I am proud to admit that Coco is my favorite Pixar movie!
Agree 100%. Also the end of E.T. does that to me every time, plus Tangled.
I feel ya Oak! This one should definitely come with a tissue warning! My grandmother (basically mother) had dementia and seeing this movie absolutely wrecked me! Even watching your reaction made me boohoo!
I worked in long-term dementia care for a while. Music is the absolute best way to reach emotions in a dementia patient. It’s almost like magic sometimes. We used to play my abuela her favorite songs when she was wandering. It’s a beautiful thing.
Same to the mother-grandmother getting alzheimers/dementia.
I was a full time carer for my mother through her dementia journey and this gets me every time. When she reached the latter stages of the disease and was non-verbal, music was one of the few ways to reach her.
@@EleanorofAquitaine42I remember a long time ago seeing a video about a woman, and I can't remember if she had dementia or some other illness, but when she would listen to music she was suddenly lucid and was even able to remember some old ballet routines from when she was young.
It's truly fascinating how music can interact with our brains.
I think that anyone who has had any loved one experience dementia will have the reaction that Oak did; I was a TOTAL wreck in the theatre.
"Incredibly positive and uplifting movie"... as tears stream down Oak's face ❤
Can I just say how much I appreciate how The Oak doesn't shy away from showing his reaction to sad emotional scenes. This film always gets me; I'm blubbering now and I've only watched clips. Great reaction guys, particularly at finding out that Hector is Coco's father. Also, on another note, you guys have my favourite intro of any reactor to your videos, every single one I'm saying it along with you guys.
I got unnecessarily emotional with Fridas cameo lol. She spent so much of her life in terrible physical pain and made beautiful art regardless. Her vibrant portrayal in this makes one hope she was able to live on in the afterlife making beautiful things without the burdens she endured
I NEVER made that the connection that Frida here was THAT Frida. thats actually awesome.
@@RaptorNX01whose the another Frida
@@RaptorNX01who's frida??? Is she from another movie? Genuinely curious lol
@@AllyisticFrida kahlo is a renowned artist lol
@@Itsupimup ohhhhh didn't know that 💀 thanks
I’m not Mexican but I am proudly Hispanic and many of the themes in this movie connect with me so strongly. Mama Coco reminds me of my grandmother who is nearing the end of her life. She doesn’t remember my kids when she sees them but she’s so happy to see them. She also forgets me in the middle of conversations but there’s still so much love in her eyes. She was a strong woman who went through one tough life and yet remained gentle and kind. So the very end of Coco BROKE me as did that final song. Thanks for reacting to this one!
Same! Mama Coco looks so much like my Gramma Celina, it’s kinda uncanny. She passed away a few years ago just a few months shy of her 100th birthday and she could have been Coco’s twin. Fortunately, her memory never faded with the years and she was as sharp as a tack up until her last day, but I’ve had other relatives who’ve suffered from dementia so the sting of that still remains. I don’t have as many memories of her as I would like as she lived in a very remote part of the country and we didn’t get to visit her ranch all that often, but the ones I do have I cherish. Plenty of good food and open spaces.
Same!! I watched this movie in Spanish with my grandmother a couple years ago, and at the end we were both crying and she turned to me, and in Spanish asked me if I remembered my Papi (my Abuelo) who had died several years before, and I don’t think I have cried so hard in my life
I am one of the whitest people ever but I grew up in very very Westass rural Texas and most of my friends are Hispanic/Mexican so I am v familiar with the culture and feel a connection to it. Just went to my friend Miguel's wedding last weekend 🥰🥰 this movie moves me sm. I love Hispanic culture/families
Even as a 90s kid growing up with Lion King, Toy Story, Aladin, and other greats, COCO might be the best Disney movie ever. Such a great story
So true
I agree!
Small detail I noticed; when De La Cruz was trying to make Hector stay, he said “I can’t do this without your songs” not ‘without you’ and he didn’t grab his hand or his arm, he only grabbed his suitcase. The *only* thing he cared about was Hectors work
Great attention to detail! There was also a scene when de la Cruz saved Miguel, he removed the guitar from him and just let it sank. I thought this was odd. This goes to show that he wasn't actually passionate about music but only loved the fame that came with it.
There are so many details like that in this film. One of my favorites is a big clue that Cruz was not Miguel's grandfather was when he was about to give him his blessing before Hector interrupted the petal was not glowing. And also a sign that Hector was the real song writer was him not wanting Miguel to sing Remember Me at the audition, he made up an excuse but he quickly told him no and of course we know why later. And one that I just learned recently is when you see the lyrics to Remember Me the is written as a slower song, you can see the notes, it was always meant to be played slow.
I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing, Oak.
My own father passed suddenly a month ago this Saturday. Truly understand what you're going through.
The timing of this review is honestly impeccable. Thank you so much for showing the emotions you all felt near the end.
So sorry for your loss.
@@AuntK68 Thank you
Sorry for your loss. This movie helped me through the loss of my mom and brother
@@ruthprophete5566 Thank you. Sorry for yours as well.
I'm sorry for your loss, and Oak's, and the others here. Just over a year after my father died, I woke up on a milestone birthday, and wished he could have been there. It was a great day, I was happy, but still I wished. Then I went to see this movie that evening, knowing practically nothing about it. It felt like a gift from him.
Also, as a proud Mexican, this movie took a FEW liberties with mythology to put it lightly, but DAMN if I don't care because it really captured the spirit of the holiday and the culture and if you don't cry ONCE watching this movie... I fear you have no soul.
@@lilunette9319 🫂🧡 I felt your words.
As a Filipino who also celebrate this tradition, I'm thankful that the Mexicans brought their culture to my country.😊
@@thelostandlonelysoul7973 That's great!! I didn't know you celebrate Día de Muertos in Philipines.
Could you elaborate on the liberties? I'd love to learn more
@@MasterfulPaladinFor what I can remember right now:
-the main one: Pictures, they aren’t necessarily super necessary. Before pictures were a thing people would put something special to the person or something to represent them. Think a watch or glasses something that belonged to the person. (In the movie Miguel’s family members had the shoes they used to make as well as their photo)
-Day of the Dead is usually celebrated along with Día de los Angelitos or Day of the Small Angels that is specifically for children that have died but most people celebrate them together
-The whole Wold of the Dead has many interpretations this was just Disney’s
-For some people it has to be your family that remembers you for others it is just who ever does.
Over all most of the movie takes place in the Land of the Dead so we only get to see a bit of what the family does but we do get to see people go to and decorate the graves of loved ones and Miguel’s family shrine, most religious people are Catholic Christian in Mexico so praying can also be a big part. But over all it’s about families coming to remember those that have past usually with food and stories!
The ending makes me cry *literally* every time, from the moment Mamá Coco starts singing with Miguel
Heavy on the literally 😂
Fun Fact: Dante the dog is a Xoloitzcuintli. It's a 3,000 old dog breed, the ancient Aztec dog of the gods. Long regarded as guardians and protectors, the indigenous peoples believed that the Xoloitzcuintli would safeguard the home from evil spirits as well as intruders
Coco is a love letter to Mexican culture. The story, the visuals, the music, etc. Also... the theme of the importance of family. How in Hispanic cultures you take care of your elders. Everything about this movie is perfect. And it was so touching to watch these three big muscular men move to tears by this story. Such a wonderful reaction.
even the chancla bit about being used as a deadly weapon
this movie and some of the comments i've seen on social media around it, made me realize that the slipper was a universal weapon. my italian mom and grandma did the same thing. lol
I don’t know if you noticed this detail but there was a big hint at Hèctor being Miguel’s actual great, great grandfather. The golden tooth!
The treasured white guitar has a painted skull with a gold tooth; and Héctor is the only character we see with golden tooth in the film. Some people notice it right away some don’t even think about until they rewatch it.
Wow that’s amazing. I have seen Coco so many times and I keep learning new things every time. What a masterpiece this movie is.
I love that detail! Another good one is that to send Miguel back a family member has to hold a petal, look at Miguel, and say his name. Ernesto does all those but the petal doesn't light up, because Ernesto isn't family.
I guess you could also say how Hector treated Miguel was more like a family member would.
Wow, I never noticed that!! Thanks for pointing it out, that’s a cool Easter egg.
I feel you, Oak. I could have used that disclaimer as well. The first time I saw this movie, I was on a plane, and by the end of the movie I was trying to hide in my seat and not show much of a mess I was. For several different reasons, I wasn't able to say good bye to either of my parents or my grandparents when they passed and one of my grandmothers had dementia, so this movie really got to me.
uff BRUTAL
Dude I saw Coco for the first time on a plane too and I was a WRECK 😂😭
I had the same reaction as Oak for the last ten minutes and I’ve seen this movie at least 4 times 😂😭 it’s just too good
Speaking of "repeater tearjerkers": Nimona was the FIRST one that got me upon a RE-watch (before that, re-watches NEVER triggered tears even if the movie had the first time). If I count not only re-watches, but watches of it with reactors and even reading or writing comments about certain lines or scenes... Nimona pulled tears from me on 15 separate occasions!
Coco always makes me remember my grandma, and I always cry at the end
I love the little touch at the end when Miguel starts singing his father holds his grandmother back from stopping him, then when Coco starts to respond he's shifted to just holding her comfortingly.
Yes! I also love that the moment Miguel breaks down his father's posture relaxes and he gently put his hands on his shoulders to comfort him. I love that you don't see his face there.
Oak being an absolute wreck at the end of this film is me every time I watch Coco... including watching this reaction. Thanks again fellas.
I swear. He was a crying mess 😂
The animation of Mama Coco brings me to tears every time, especially at the end of the film. Her hands look EXACTLY like my grandmother’s hands. My grandma died 10 years ago but this movie makes me think of her. Thank you so much for reviewing! This is definitely one of my favorite newer Disney films.
Absolutely the same. My Lola (grandmother) that raised me even looked a lot like Mama Coco, but especially those hands - it took me back to me playing guitar and piano for her while she was alive (she passed about 11 years ago), and holding her hand afterwards. That scene absolutely wrecked me in the theater the first time, and still wrecks me, even just watching this reaction.
Seeing oak cry and trying to hold it back did it for me😭. I teared up at the same scene too. 42:55
Also (because I've "been there" with certain movies too) I could sooo imagine him thinking "Wow is stuff STILL coming out of me??"
It's pretty hard to not lose it at that part. That part is done so cleanly. It's very raw. I've seen this movie at least a dozen times and I can't not cry.
Watching you guys get emotional made me cry. As a Hispanic American I love this movie. Thanks for loving it
Thanks for liking guys ❤❤❤❤
I'm right there with you, Oak - I've seen this movie half a dozen times and I'm still a sobbing mess the last 10 minutes of the movie. Especially the scene with Coco. I love that it was music that reached Coco's memory... that's a real thing. People with Alzheimer's and Dementia - they remember music even when they can remember nothing else. Which is why music therapy is an important part in memory care now. After so many studies and just recorded evidence of patients with extreme Alzheimer's/Dementia responding to music even after they stop responding to family members and photographs. It's amazing. How universal music is an how deeply in our minds it touches.
It's such a beautiful thing, and so perfect that his abuela got to see how powerful music can be. She tried to stop him from playing at first, but when she saw Coco reacting she let him keep going.
"This movie can make a grown man cry", just ask the Oak haha❤
The visuals, music, comedy, twists, messages, the emotions and everything else made this movie pure perfection. So was this reaction!
You can start putting up an altar like us Mexicans do to remember every one that has passed. The beauty of Coco is that it shares the wonderful tradition of dia de los muertos with everyone and I encourage everyone to partake! Great reaction guys, definitely subbing. 🤙🏽
100% this. As a fellow Mexa I wholeheartedly agree, because everyone can be part of our Familia.
My mom and I have been wanting to do an offrenda ever since we saw this movie because it connects with our families values so much. My mom has studied Spanish her whole life, I grew up on Spanish music, I also took Spanish classes. We also learned about the culture together but we weren’t sure if we could do an offrenda. It’s a bit confusing because of all the different opinions on social media. As a Mexican person yourself, how do you feel about a white family wanting to have an offrenda and celebrate dia de los muertos? Do you think we could celebrate it next November? I’d rather ask someone who is actually part of that beautiful culture rather than the internet.
@@oceanedeschenes7507 There is only one thing we really care about when you want to do something representative of our country. At least in my personal opinion.
Do it from the heart. Learn and research about the holiday. How it looks doesn't really matter, but the idea and intention behind it, the meaning of the holiday.
If you wanna build a full ofrenda, Beautiful! Be my guest!
But instead, if you just wanna keep some family portraits nearby, and light up some candles and offer some of the things your relatives liked once a year, then that is all you need.
I could say a lot more, but long answer short: go right ahead, enjoy yourselves, make it yours, after all, anyone can be family.
Pictures of your loved ones.
Flowers (real ones, not fake ones).
flowers of cempasuchil are a must!
White non-scented candles
Any food that your loved ones enjoyed as well as beverages. Heck, try to trace back your family's origins/ roots. Let's say there is a family member of German descent; search up traditional German foods. Make a small dish and put it on the ofrenda (altar).
Day of the Dead is a day to celebrate our ancestors. Our ancestors are present and walk with us everyday our lives.
Have fun and enjoy the family bonding.
guys, you are like role models, so brave of you and honest to show emotions like this, it's an inspiration for young men like me, thank you
Thank you and thanks for watching with us🤜🤛
@@BaddMedicine it was incredible to watch how open and sensitive and vulnerable you got and it is something men, especially young men, truly should see
thank you again for being brave, in the true sense of word, for being you, I love watching your reactions
anyway, sending love all the way from Czech Republic
I love how Hector calls Ernesto "mijo". It's a contraction of "mi" meaning "my", and "hijo" which means "son". It's used as a term of endearment and affection. ❤
you mean miguel?
Yeah Miguel
The colors of this movie are soooo beautiful! I’m glad you guys enjoyed it ❤
Originally, Miguel was only going to play the guitar but when Lee Unkrich found out that Anthony Gonzales had an incredible singing voice, he incorporated the singing into Miguel's character as well.
"Elana, whats wrong mija" - "Nothing Mama" - that kills me everytime - that such a deep love....
To me this movie speaks to the very real harm that generational trauma can cause. Four generations later this little boy is being affected by the trauma of his great great grandmother, but it also shows that things can be healed and it takes a strong and proactive person to put his foot down and say, “enough!”
"I'M the love of your life?"
"I don't know! I'm still angry at you!"
As a Colombian I gotta say, that's a Latina right there. 😂🥰
Mexico has a really special connection to this movie because Pixar decided to have an early release for Mexico. It also was very emotional because it was weeks after 2017's earthquake, one of the worst in many years. The country was in a state of shock and mounring a lot of victims. So this movie really helped with the healing process.
Being Mexican y really loved watching you guys appreciate our culture and traditions. And this is just the tip of the iceberg hahaha
I don’t know if you guys realize how powerful it is that you share your vulnerability and sweetness to the world 🥰 being moved at the end shows your humanity and I was crying just as much too!
One thing this movie made me realize was how much our culture (in the U.S.) makes people who have passed “haunted spirits” and the place we go to remember people we’ve lost is seen as a creepy, scary place to avoid. I love that cultures like in Mexico and east Asia celebrate people they lost and I wish we did that too.
The Oak, you don't have to be Mexican to celebrate Dia de Muertos. You can choose a day that is meaningful to you and your family, and make it a day to share the stories of your loved ones who are no longer here. Whether you believe in the afterlife or not, whether you are religious or not, sharing the memories of your loved ones keep them alive in your heart, and in a way they never truly left us.
❤
As someone who's Mexican, anyone can celebrate Dia De Los Muertos! It's all about celebrating and remembering your loved ones who have passed, no matter your culture, etc! We love when people appreciate and partake in activities and holidays like this. Much love! 😁💖
Cant wait to cry with my boys and not be judged. 😢😅😊
Not me sobbing along with you guys even though I've seen this dozens of times! 😂😂😭
I spent the last 10 minutes of the reaction just going, "Me too, Oak, me too." This is my FAVORITE Disney/Pixar movie of all time. I've watched it 100 times and I still cry. The "I'm proud to be his family!!!" absolutely recks me. How long has it been since Hector has heard anyone say that? This movie is powerful, it's beautifully animated, and the ending is so sweet. This movie is incredible.
Bro, this broke Oak like something violent. Big hugs big guy.
We put up our ofrenda every year and it’s such a powerful thing to see pics of your family and still feel connected to them. Remembrance is such a powerful tool for the human mind. It’s what keeps us connected to the past. Keeps the dead alive through us.
This film never fails to get me in tears, it’s almost imperative that I watch any Pixar movie alongside a box of tissues. The music, the story and the sheer amount of love that goes into the animation❤️❤️❤️
Watching The Oak and The Answer fall apart over this movie did me in😩. Makes me want to sit with them and watch movies for real. You guys are the BEST!!!💜💜💜
Hi! Your reactions made me cry so much 😭 i’m mexican and i lost both of my grandmas more than 10 years ago. When Coco was released, my siblings and I were bawling our eyes out. Its been over a decade but it was like opening a healing wound. Its been so long and we still get emotional talking about them. I think when a loved one passes the pain never truly disappears, you just learn to live with it. For us Mexicans, mothers and grandmas are the backbone of the family, so this movie made the whole country cry buckets. I’m so happy our culture was finally represented in an accurate way. Definitely one of my favorite Pixar movies.
P.S. I highly recommend listening to Amor Eterno by Juan Gabriel, if you’re interested in exploring Mexican artists.
Thank you for your reaction it was great !! 🇲🇽
Just wanted to say we love you Oak. Everyone reacts to emotions, especially ones portayed in films, differently. Yet if there's any movie to cry for, I think this is definitely it, even if it's personally not just for the heart-warming/breaking ending.
Yeah, Coco is a classic. You want another fun Dia de los Muertos animated film? Check out The Book of Life released just a few years earlier. It takes similar elements from this one (musicians following their own dreams, visiting the afterlife, etc) but does its own take on them
Yessss they should definitely watch this I feel like it’s so underrated
And it's so beautifully made.
I'm an atheist but I celebrate All Saint's Day by going to the cemetery every year and lighting a candle for the dead and sharing stories and memories of them with others. I think it's a good tradition that literally everyone could use, it brings people together.
Perfection is no doubt the only word for this movie.
The colors and animation, the songs, the story, the message... everything is unmatched. I've loved this movie since I first saw it. And every time I lose it at the end when Hector finally gets to see Coco and cross the bridge. The look of happiness and relief on his face just gets me crying.
Another similar movie that has a strong story and message like this... Encanto. Definitely should check that out and bring the tissues for that too!
As an animation nerd, I was so excited to see this movie when it came out because I’d heard so much about the animators being able to perfectly match Miguel’s finger movements to the actual strings being played in that first guitar scene. This was back when Disney was really pushing itself with realism (Elsa’s hair, the landscapes in The Good Dinosaur, hair and water in Moana).
Not only is the animation amazing, but the story is beautiful and makes me cry every time. One of my favorite Pixar movies❤
To me it’s imperative that an animated movie or show animated playing the instruments correctly especially if it is about playing music. A couple of anime did this really well, kids on the slope and nodame cantabile
I’ve never heard anything about realism with Elsa’s hair. I know that was a big deal with Merida…?
@@jennv2948 Yeah, I think they meant Merida.
@@jennv2948 The creation of Rapunzel’s hair in Tangled was an animation feat that required a team of over 30 animators and software engineers. Each hair strand was an object that needed to move dynamically through the film, swaying, crashing, floating, sliding over the ground, etc. over 100,000 objects (hair strands). The only other movie that even attempted this before on a small scale was Bolt with Penny’s hair. -Fun fact: animators working in Tangled actually wore helmets with 70ft of fishing line attached and ran around the hallways to experience what it would be like to function with that much hair.- A single scene would take weeks to animate which is partly the reason it took 6 years to create the film (Along with the fact that they had to literally rewrite the laws of physics for the hair to function how they wanted it to). For this they created a program called dynamic wires- the predecessor to Tonic which I’ll get to soon. This was 2010.
In 2012 we had Brave featuring Merida’s beautiful mane of Scarlett curls. Another feat in animation. I believe she was Disney’s first attempt at dynamic curly hair in 3D animation (aside from Mother Gothel’s hair in Tangled which was a tad less dynamic). She had over 1500 individually sculpted curls that generated about 111,000 total hairs. Because Merida’s curly hair behaves differently than Rapunzel’s straight hair and needed to bounce and recoil, Disney (Pixar) created a new software using mass spring systems to capture the movement of springy curls. Disney and Pixar are separate studios so some people don’t include Merida in Disney’s hair journey but Brave was a big part as well.
I could have mentioned Tangled or Brave or even Bolt in the quest for realism, but the reason why I mentioned Elsa instead of Rapunzel and instead of Merida is because Frozen really was a game changer with their invention of Tonic.
Elsa's hair had 20x more CG threads than Rapunzel's (over 400,000) each individually placed I believe. Elsa and Anna also had braided hairstyles which the animators weren’t able to accomplish with the tube tools (dynamic wires) used in Tangled so Disney created an entirely new program named Tonic, a volume based tool that allowed the animators to group sections of hair and move and direct those sections as desired- hence the creation of Elsa’s iconic braid which was able to be created in days whereas it would have taken weeks with the old software. Tonic is also responsive for the hair used in a lot of the animals in frozen as well like the wolves, horses and Sven. Elsa’s hair, not only styling but it’s interaction with the elements like the snow and wind lead to Disney’s success with Mona where Tonic was used to create the S shaped curls that Disney had never created before. Tonic is the tool responsible for pretty much all of the realistic hair we’ve seen since Frozen, including Encanto, which made history as the first Disney animated movie to feature a full range in hair textures from 1A to 4C. I would honestly call it revolutionary.
Props to you if you bothered to read all of that😅 I really am a giant nerd when it comes to animation and will jump at the opportunity to go on and on about it.
My dog is the same breed as Dante. They don't have their side molars, that's why their tongue hangs out like that, especially as they get older. Everyone who sees her has no clue what she could be, so I was so happy when this movie came out, so now I just tell people she's the same breed as Dante in Coco.
Xolo ❤
So glad you guys were so deeply touched by this movie, tears were streaming down my face when I first saw it. That scene with Miguel singing Hector's song to Coco gets me every time!
It's so clever how the song 'Remember Me' in its two incarnations has two such varied meanings. Ernesto's version is bombastic and upbeat, but oozes the self absorbency and shallowness that he is all about. Hector's original version is slow and meaningful, with so much heart, because it wasn't written to be showy or for an adoring audience. Hector sings remember me for familial reasons full of depth, Ernesto sings remember me to a world of strangers, begging them for eternal adoration but without any true love or depth.
Also, I love that music never truly is a negative thing in the movie, like Miguel's family initially believe. It has the power to heal old wounds, like when Mama Imelda finally sings again and suddenly falls back in love with Hector, it helps Coco return briefly from dementia to remember her father, it even sends that poor guy in the hammock off peacefully to true death. It's not even a negative thing with Ernesto De La Cruz, because none of his hits are his, it's his greed and desperation for fame that turns him bad, not the music itself.
Seeing The Oak so emotional and reminisce about his own family story, hits extra hard, especially because I also lost someone way too soon recently. Love how you guys show emotion and don’t follow the ‚strong men don’t cry‘-routine! Big Love from Germany! 🤗🖖🏿
SOO glad you guys liked this, it is absolute perfection!! The story, the animation and the colours just amazing :) and so glad you didn't guess the twists! Great reactions
DIDN'T ASK + TOY STORY IS FAR SUPERIOR🤣🤣🤣
I'm Mexican and Disney did a great job with this movie. I've been in the US for about 20 years now, and one thing that makes me a bit sad is how death is not talked about much in here, specially with children. We in Mexico grow up with Dia de Muertos, so we learn the concept of death pretty early on, and that death itself is not scary, it's just the next stag of life. It also allows to deal with feelings of loss and sadness in a healthier way, and it's ok tobe sad, to grieve, to cry, but to also be happy. It's the bittersweet taste of life.
The thing that gets me every time, is the generational trauma that stems from an assumption. Isn't it thrilling to see how one person's assumption can affect the next three generations? Holding grudges and vendettas hurts others and yourself. I've seen this in my own family and I imagine it resonates with many people. It's like that line in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, "all this time we could have been friends?"
I'm coming from a binge to the hp reactions, and the Oak is just amazing , putting all of his emotions out there, not caring what ppl will say. I am addicted to this channel
Thank you for choosing Dia de Muertos to release this reaction.
I remember when this movie came up, as a Mexican I was very skeptical and kinda "angry?" that Disney was taking such beautiful festivity to make a movie but, they did an exceptional job capturing our culture. It's impossible not to sob with this one lol.
Could see a lot of thoughts ran through Oak's mind when Miguel started singing to Coco. This movie really is something else
I love that you guys let yourselves cry. Very healthy.
When I was in the theater, every single person was crying when Coco started singing.
Coco is just so special to me, my favourite Disney movie by far. I've seen it so many times but watching it in the cinema for the first time with everyone crying was a unique experience.
Another great thing about this movie is that it also reminds you about importance of remembering and caring about your living members of family. After watching it i immediately came to visit my grandma and spent some wonderful time with her, coz i realized how much i miss all of my relatives, and you never know when you're going to see each of them again.
True!
This movie wrecks me every time. We first watched it shortly after my mother-in-law passed away and I cried so hard. My husband still can't finish it, it's just too emotional for him. Such a beautiful story!
My dog, Anubis, is a hairless Mexican dog, a Xolo like Dante. One summer a man and his famly came to Montreal and saw me walking my dog, he ran up excited saying it was his dog, I said no its my dog. 'No it's the dog in my film coming out in November.' Turns out he was an animator from Coco, and he took photos holding my dog to send back to California to the other animators, because who would have thought to find a hairless Mexican dog in Quebec Canada.
42:50 Yep Oak... me too man... THIS MOVIE BREAKS US
I've been waiting for this movie for so long! As a Mexican thank you for reacting to this movie, feliz dia de los muertos 🇲🇽
I've been waiting years for Badd Medicine to watch Coco as I knew all of you would appreciate and love the story and it's message. And your reaction did not disappoint. During your watch I also grew emotional during the many story beats as they were developing, and this isn't my first time watching either.
Since my first viewing, after all these years, I still think about this movie from time to time, and I think all of you will too. It's a 5+/5.
What makes this movie so extremely emotional for me, is that I want the premise to be true. I want this afterlife where we remember our loved ones and after they leave us they are somewhere safe and happy watching over us and one day I will get to see them again. My cousin just passed away a couple days ago, and I so badly want this to be true and this movie is so comforting and heartwarming. Thank you for the reaction ❤
Yeah. Me too. I'm not even a spiritual or religious person, but I hope that there is a pleasant afterlife.
One last thing, I just hate that Quinn never cries, i want you to cry with us goddammit!!😂
It's always a pleasure to see you guys, you've become my special place to watch movies, I know this is the internet and we don't know each other but I see you as a distant family. This community is like a big family for me and I love when you open up and share some thing with us. Movies are my passion and I've loved watching movies since I was two years old, so believe me when I say that watching movies alongside some incredible human beings and huge big bearded men, is what I enjoy the most!
I wish Diamond Dave had been for this movie but still, this was another banger of a reaction and we will keep coming back for our BADD MEDICINE!!!!🤟🏻
I was fortunate enough to edit it. Wish I was able to make it there with the guys. Fantastic story! We appreciate the kind words here. This is a fantastic community that's building here. Thank you for spending your time with us🤙🙏
"I am the love of your life?"
"I don't know, im still angry at you!" Yeah thats a Latina response... lol
Dante is a Xolo, a breed of dog that was sacred in mexico and considered a guide of the dead.
Did you notice, the tech in the land of the dead is all obsolete? So even tech "dies".
This movie hits me deep in my heart, and as a latino, it brings up so many memories of my family.
Im glad you guys enjoyed the movie.
This will sound horrible but I genuinely like seeing people cry to these kind of movies because it's so connecting and shows no matter what race, what culture, what religion or how tough someone is, these emotions are raw and we can all relate to them. I especially appreciate The Oak crying at the very last scene because this scene had me bawling although it is such a happy one. Idk about you, Oak, but speaking as someone who lost very dear people like my grandmother and grandfather etc. seeing this scene made me ugly cry because the thought about the people you lost still being around you and celebrating with them is so powerful but it still cannot overpower the grief we hold in our hearts. It's such a bittersweet feeling, it's so painful yet comforting because you're so heartbroken and miss them so much but you also feel comfort in believing them to be there although you can't see them and knowing they are reunited with other dead family members, it's hard to explain.
Muchas Gracias! Thank you for reacting to this movie that is actually an homage to México. As a mexican i really appreciate. Today is Dia de los Muertos, we remember our loved ones. Excellent reaction. Saludos from México 🇲🇽
When Oak said the movie had beautiful colors in the beginning I'm like "wait till we get to the land of the dead".
Y’all’s reaction should’ve also come with a cry warning. The end of this movie gets me ugly crying every time. As someone with a grandma who was suffering from dementia before she passed, I got to see how powerfully music can effect the mind. We’d visit my grandma every week where she was being taken care of, and one time my dad brought a keyboard (grandma used to teach piano) and she could still play almost perfectly. We sang too, and she remembered all the words even though she couldn’t remember all of us who were in the room with her. I thought this movie highlighted that well. Beautiful stuff, loved the reaction ❤
This got me so emotional :( such a warm, rich movie with a golden message.
I cry all the time whenever I watch this movie. I lost my grandpa last week, and so seeing this now it hit WAY HARDER than before. I had to pause at the end to calm myself down from having a meltdown😂. It carries much more weight for me now, and it definitely on the top of the animated movie list. Thanks for reacting to this, and for reminding me that our passed loved ones are always with us
At this point, every Pixar movie comes with the tissue warning for me. They always get me, but Coco might be the one that gets me most. Now more than when it released.
This one is beautiful, heartwarming, has great twists, gets you thinking and just pierces your heart in the best way. Even tho I could guess where they were going the moment he picked up the guitar to play for Coco, how you'll have those beats of her remembering bit by bit, it's executed SO well. The music hitting, with the very subtle animation, Anthony Gonzalez giving a fantastic performance singing while crying and thinking Hector is lost.
The last scene always makes me cry because my grandma was just like mama Coco, she had dementia but used to light up whenever she heard her favourite songs. One time, she looked at me and said "Call my little girl" (meaning me), and when I told her I was there she smiled and replied "What have you done? You've grown up" 🥰 music is so powerful!
Just had a Facebook memory pop up: 4 years ago today, I went to see this movie at Davies Symphony Hall, with the score performed live by the San Francisco Symphony. It was so beautiful!
I am an American who is so privileged to get to participate in Mexican culture with my husband. When this came out in theaters, my husband and his father hadn't seen his family in Mexico in almost 15 years. We were a freaking mess during this movie, but it was heartbreaking to see my stoic FIL get so tearful. They both agreed that this movie was a beautiful representation of their culture and heritage.
Oak, I'm very sorry to hear about your father. November 19th is the 32yr anniversary of my sister's death, 14yr anniversary of my father's death, and 4yr anniversary of my childhood dog's death. While it does get easier, it never goes away. Thank you all for sharing your reactions and personal experiences.
Can’t wait to see what y’all think about this masterpiece
It makes me happy when reactors are surprised by the twists because others do predict it lol. I personally wasn't that shocked at the villain twist when I watched it in theaters but the emotions I felt after made me forgive the movie lmao.
Words can't describe how happy it makes me to see y'all react to Coco!! I'm Hispanic, but having said that I wasn't strictly raised to embrace the culture, so when I saw Coco for the first time it did give me a new appreciation for the Mexican side of my family- even though I've never seen them create an ofrenda, they would light candles, some photos would be put up. Same with the other half of my family (apparently it's more common to create elaborate ofrendas back in the "motherland" so to speak, according to my mom, but to be fair it makes sense! Sounds like they would go ham with the chrysanthemum petals!) The scene with Coco and Miguel never fails to make me tear up!! We all wanna be remembered after we're gone, but to be remembered by those who matter most to us in life is truly a blessing ❤❤❤❤ Saludos!
My 3rd time watching your reactions to this. And I just realized this movie has entered my top 3 BEST movies of all time. Not just for an animated movie. Top 3 of all time along with Shawshank Redemption and Everything Everywhere All At Once. Script was so tight, story was perfect, cast was excellent, movie had everything - family, love, 2nd chance romance, comedy, action, plot twist, important life lessons - just a beautiful piece of storytelling, filmmaking/cinematic achievement. Oh! And the MUSIC! The Oak - you get me every time. I started bawling again when all 3 of you got emotional.
As soon as I saw this was posted, I just knew Oak was going to get hit hard by the emotions. Love seeing you willing to not hold them back you big tender hearted guy!
One thing I love is that Coco asks her daughter at the beginning, "Who are you?" and after singing with Miguel, she asks, "Elena? What's wrong, mija?" That's when Abuela realizes how powerful this music is for her mother. Miguel literally lifts generational curses with music.
It's so moving to see you guys so touched by this movie. It completely caught me off guard when I saw it, hitting home on multiple levels. My dad was a career musician and at the time this came out he was in his 80s, suffering from dementia. The apparent conflict between a musician/artist following their dream, and their love of their family - the way that music can heal and bring back memories, the idea of a family legacy like portrayed here... it all just had me breaking apart, bawling in my husband's arms :P
I can't even watch this reaction without crying. This is a beautiful movie.
I saw this film with my two best friends in theaters, we’re all Mexican descent, we balled out so much by the end that it took us watching the end credits to recompose ourselves. 😂
This reaction video definitely gets a 5/5 from me! I really appreciate the conversations and comments you have at the end of your watches, hitting on the themes of the movie.
I agree with Oak, this film needs a tissue box warning! I really feel for him, the emotions that this film took him through, and am so sorry to hear about how his father died. November is my dad's birth month too, and he's been gone over 13 years now, but this film still brings those feelings up for me in a big way, especially the scene with Miguel and Coco. It really does make you think about the responsibility of the living to carry on the memories of those who have passed. If they were someone you loved, someone you miss, share their stories so they can continue to live on long after their gone. I think we're often told to move on and forget when we're dealing with grief and loss, but doing that actually takes you further and further away from them, by letting them fade away. The way they depict that in the film really gets to me, it's like a second, final, death of the spirit, when nothing of you remains in the world of the living anymore. Just a profound, beautiful film with so many layers.
Thank you for sharing your tears. That means a lot.
Today is the day of the dead in Mexico, thanks for honoring our day
