The Rivera family is the pulsating heart of Disney Pixar's Coco, but there are many of them, living and dead on Miguel's extended family tree.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Rivera family is at the front and center of Disney Pixar’s Coco, and the many generations interacting simultaneously make the 2017 adventure drama's family tree particularly tricky. Happening over the night before the Day of the Dead, Miguel’s initially unwitting journey through the Land of the Dead gives him the chance to interact with many of the Riveras that came before him.
Mamá Imelda The Rivera matriarch Imelda set up the shoemaking business Miguel’s family still keeps afloat as a means to provide for her daughter Coco after her husband, Héctor, left to pursue music. In the stories the family share, Miguel’s great-great-grandmother appears as a force of nature, which Miguel can ascertain for himself once she meets her in the Land of the Dead.
Abuelita Elena Elena is Miguel’s grandmother and Coco’s only living daughter in Coco. Similar in her stubbornness to Imelda, Elena cares deeply for her family but is also a staunch enforcer of the music ban Imelda issued decades before, which puts her in conflict with Miguel more than once. Indeed, Elena breaking Miguel’s handmade guitar eventually leads him to run away on the Day of the Dead.
Papá Julio Julio is Coco’s late husband, Imelda’s son-in-law, and Elena’s father. Meeting Miguel in the worst possible way as his great-grandson crashes into him, Julio is shown as an integral part of the Riveras. Indeed, not only he is on the Riveras’ ofrenda in Coco, but his sister Rosita also is, showing how the Riveras included their extended family in the shoemaking business.
