Was the character of Mamá Coco inspired by Maria Salud Ramirez? Pixar has always denied that Coco's loveable abuela was based on anyone in real life and said that it was a product of its creators' imagination. However the Ramirez family have claimed that a Pixar team met with Maria Salud and photographed her.
As a result, given that the enchanted candle has been tended for 50 years, the current events from the film would have taken place anywhere between 1949 and 1952.
“It's quite unusual but the movie is so much a love letter to the country of Mexico,” said Dave Hollis, president, theatrical distribution, The Walt Disney Studios. “It's a celebration of the family, of Mexico's culture, of its music,” he said, adding: “It just felt like the right thing to do.” “Coco” opens Oct.
Synopsis. In Santa Cecilia, Mexico, Imelda Rivera was the wife of a musician who left her and their 3-year-old daughter Coco, to pursue a career in music. She banned music in the family and opened a shoe-making family business.
Héctor Rivera (November 30, 1900—December 1921, aged 21) was the husband of Imelda, the father of Coco Rivera, Miguel's long-lost great-great-grandfather and the deuteragonist of Coco. An aspiring musician, Héctor left his family to travel the world with his childhood friend, Ernesto de la Cruz.
Because of its subject matter and scary scenes, it's more suited to older children, and children aged 7-10 years are likely to need parental guidance. The main messages from Coco are about the importance of family, the need for forgiveness, and the need to compromise and make use of your talents.
