Coco (2017) dir. Lee Unkrich

You know what I love about this scene?

Miguel is right. The first time I watched it, I expected a later scene where Miguel was proven wrong or shown the error of his ways—one where it’s firmly established that adults might make rules that don’t make sense, but they have their reasons and it’s best to abide by their wishes.

But no. That doesn’t happen. Instead, we see that Imelda’s insistence on the music ban, and her refusal to reconsider, indirectly (or perhaps directly) land Miguel in even greater danger, as he wouldn’t have gone after de la Cruz were it not for Imelda insisting he give up music forever. The happy ending comes not when Miguel agrees to give up music to please his family, but when he defies the ban to save Héctor and restore Mama Coco’s memories.

I can’t tell you how many kid’s movies I’ve seen that would have taken “Family comes first” to mean “The adults’ wishes are paramount even if they’re unreasonable.” It would have been so easy to have Miguel simply go along with what Imelda wanted, but Pixar instead gave us a story where a child’s decision to contest an unfair rule is what eventually restores a broken family.

Even reading about this movie makes me tear up

Pretend… pretend that that’s a seed. It’s a rock. Oh, I know it’s a rock. But let’s just pretend for a minute that it’s a seed, all right? We’ll just use our imaginations.

Phantom Manor

A sister attraction to the Haunted Mansions in Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland.

The Phantom Manor tells us the tragic story of Melanie Ravenswood, only child of a well to do couple in the boom-mining town of Thunder Mesa. When she was old enough to marry her fiance planned to take her far away from Thunder Mesa, something both wanted. But her father, Henry Ravenswood, did everything in his power to stop the wedding. One day an earthquake hit the town, killing many residents including Henry and his wife.

Melanie and her fiance were finally free to marry.

Or so they thought.

On the wedding day while Melanie was preparing in her rooms, her groom was lured to the attic by a mysterious phantom figure, who then hanged him from the rafters. Melanie waited for years for her groom to come. Never taking off her wedding dress. Never leaving the manor.

The fate of Melanie Ravenswood is still unknown to this day. Visitors to the ghost town of Thunder Mesa can still see the old Ravenswood Manor. Some claim to hear a beautiful sad melody, or glimps the image of a young bride in the windows. Others hear evil laughter and see the image of a phantom figure in the windows or on the grounds.
