![]() Miguel's younger sister Socorro is named after Mamá Coco.This is confirmed by Lee Unkrich, who revealed Coco passed away at 100 years of age. As the film takes place in present day, Coco was 99 years old at the time of Coco.Coco is Pixar’s fourth titular character, the others being Nemo, WALL-E, and Dory, as well as the second female titular character, the first one being Dory.Coco stands next to Abuelita as they proudly watch Miguel, Abel, and Rosa perform a song to the family. Reunited with her parents, uncles, husband, sister-in-law, and other daughter in the Land of the Dead, Coco embraces her father and later accompanies them on their visit to the Land of the Living. Sometime before the next Dia de Los Muertos, Coco passes away (much to Abuelita's sadness) and her photo is also placed on the ofrenda. All this evidence respectively grants Héctor the recognition he was robbed of from Ernesto as the Riveras reconcile with Miguel and accept music back into the family now that they know more of Coco's father. Revitalized by her father's music, Coco is motivated to reveal her father's identity, along with the letters he sent to her as a child before his murder and the torn section of their family portrait that has his face. The song brings Coco back to her senses, and she recognizes her great-grandson and daughter, who tears up at the sight of her mother regaining her senses by listening and singing to the song. ![]() Remembering how Héctor told him of the song he wrote especially for his daughter, Miguel tearfully picks up Héctor's guitar and plays " Remember Me" to Coco, telling her it is from her father. When the rest of the family enters, Abuelita (not realizing that he's trying to help her come to her senses) orders Miguel to apologize to Coco, but as he does so, his foot nudges Héctor's guitar. Miguel tries to get Coco to remember by showing her the old photo and her father's guitar but to no avail. Miguel rushes back to the Rivera residence with Héctor's stolen guitar and, despite Abuelita's objections, bursts into Coco's room to see that Coco has become catatonic. Unfortunately, the photo is lost in the struggle with Ernesto and Miguel, in danger of being trapped in the Land of the Dead permanently if he stays any longer, is sent home empty-handed. Miguel, Héctor, Imelda, and the deceased Riveras plan to send Héctor's photo back with Miguel so that Coco can remember him and pass down his memory to the living Riveras. Meanwhile back in the Land of the Living, Coco's memory, including of Héctor, is fading, and so will Héctor if Coco completely forgets him and passes away as she's the last person among the living who remembers him. While in the Land of the Dead, Miguel learns that Coco's missing father is actually Héctor and tried to come home to her and Imelda all those years ago, but Ernesto, who was his selfish music partner and with whom he was on tour in Mexico, murdered him and stole his songs to achieve fame. Because of his hasty act, Miguel becomes cursed and transformed into a spirit. Unfortunately, this leads to an argument between Miguel and the rest of the family, and Abuelita smashes his guitar, which in turn leads Miguel to try to steal Ernesto's guitar so he can play in the plaza like Ernesto. Miguel, believing Coco meant that de la Cruz is her father, takes this as a sign to fulfill his dream of becoming a musician. Seeing the portrait causes Mamá Coco to react and confirm the figure is her father. ![]() After Dante accidentally shakes the ofrenda and causes the portrait to shatter, Miguel spots the man in the portrait holding a guitar identical to the guitar of Ernesto de la Cruz. On Día de Los Muertos, Coco is overseeing her family's ofrenda, on top of which is the portrait of Coco with her parents, including Coco's disgraced father. However, her declining health and memory is a growing concern for her daughter Elena, who becomes more worried and protective of her mother even when the old woman fails to recognize her. Like Miguel, she doesn't approve of her mother's ban on music but is not vocal about it. Despite the outcast status of her father among the Riveras, Coco still remembers her father and thinks of him fondly. In the present, Coco is the beloved great-grandmother of Miguel and is the only member who listens to his hopes and dreams. Because of this, Imelda enforced a ban on music in her family and raised Coco herself in a family business of shoemaking. Mamá Coco is introduced as the daughter of Imelda and an unnamed musician who left Imelda with Coco when she was three, after the latter decided to pursue a career in music and never returned. She is very old and fragile, but that doesn't stop Miguel from sharing his daily adventures with her. Background Official Description Mamá Coco is Miguel's cherished great-grandmother.
