Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don't let it make you cry
For even if I'm far away I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again
Remember me

Fan Reactions

Fans love the movie's emotional path of redemption for Hector and Miguel dealing with the rest of the family who do not want anything to do with music. Latin communities in particular praised Coco for its authentic representation of Mexican traditions, espectilally with regards to Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead).

It also had universal appeal from across the globe as it was likely the first time many Pixar fans were introduced to Mexican culture in any way, and provided good knowledge and themes that the Mexican people are known for and what they believe in.

Critical Reaction

Coco received critical praise for the depths of emotion from the good and the bad times, the Mexican representation was researched and as accurate as they could have possibly made it and still be entertaining for the audience. It was admired for the animation style, vibrant colors, and fun and colorful representations of Mexican culture, and their take on the Land of the Dead really brought the viewer into the movie where they were able to put themselves there, and connect with the big song of the movie "Remember Me", as it was celebrated for the emotional impact it had for the movie to drive the narrative for everyone.

"Coco is a visually stunning, emotionally resonant film that celebrates family and culture with sincerity and respect" (NPR, 2017).
