What Pixarâs Coco got right
I just got back from my third trip to Mexico, and rewatched Pixarâs Coco. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of familiar sights!Â
From the small towns to big cities, colorful decorations are stretched across the streets!Â
Especially in small towns, family business are painted onto the buildings, usually with the family name and date of establishment.Â
I laughed at this line, because itâs true!! There are a lot of âperros de calleâ in small towns, and theyâre super sweet and love to beg for food. My sister made the mistake of naming this street dog and he didnât stop following us for the three days we stayed in this town.Â
I donât know how they get up there.Â
We shot off our New Yearsâ fireworks in a plaza that looks a lot like this.
Many ancient cultures who inhabited Mexico used this style of pyramid for temples, houses, and administrative buildings.Â
The entrance to the Land of the Dead looks a lot like the Aztecsâ depiction of their rain god.Â
At artisan markets you can find shops filled with intricately and brightly painted animals. I knew they looked familiar!Â
Mexico has some the best street art Iâve ever seen. Walls, businesses, doors, and even multistory office buildings are covered in bright, beautiful murals.Â
A common Mexican breakfast or holiday food is sweet bread, and you can buy them to your heartâs content at any bakery.Â
You know a lot of research went into this movie when I feel like Iâm back in Mexico just watching it! Amazing work, Pixar!!Â
