- San Cecilia, where Miguel lives, is inspired by real Mexican towns.
- Miguel has a Mexican hairless dog, which is Mexico's "national dog", derived from the civilization of Central America.
- The production team brought a group of Mexican hairless dogs to the Pixar animation studio, interacted with them closely, and studied their appearance and behavior.
- In order to show Mexican culture truthfully and respectfully, Enkerridge's first decision was to use all-Latino voice actors.
- The world of the undead is vertically structured, which contrasts with the horizontal arrangement of Saint Cecilia. The distribution of towers also represents the hierarchy of history-the Mesoamerican Pyramid is at the bottom, while the Spanish colonial-style buildings are built on the top.
- Mexicans believe that the color and scent of marigold petals can help the deceased find their way home on the Day of the Dead, so in addition to candles and incense, marigolds are also placed on the altar.
- The feast of the dead, Aiborigi, is actually a brightly colored, Mexican folk handicraft. They have different forms, and there are many fantasy creatures, such as lizards with rabbit ears, elephants with butterfly wings, and so on.

- Frida Kahlo, a legendary Mexican female painter, appeared in the world of the dead in the film, acting as a stage designer. There is also a Mexican wrestler, Santo. Mexican stars María Félix, Cantinflas, and political figures such as Emiliano Zapata, etc.

Old people don’t want their children to make much contribution to the family. Pixar sang the Spring Festival Gala for Cai Guoqing.

The enshrined remains are the passage to lead the family back home, the resident memory is the divine power to keep the undead, and the lively music is the medicine to awaken miss and unseal. I wrote a song for you, through the vastness of the years and dust, through the cold and lonely winter, across the long road to heaven and man, and sing it to you when you are old. The magnificent lights and thousands of flickering candles are not as good as the twinkling stars in your eyes when you sit on the bedside with braids.

[Abuelita has just destroyed Miguel's guitar in front of the Rivera family. Miguel is in tears]
Abuelita: [smiling; lifting her hand to touch Miguel's cheek] Aw, it's okay. You can weep with your family.
Miguel: [slapping her hand away; angrily and tearfully] I *DON'T* want to be part of *this family* anymore!
[Miguel runs away]

[Miguel is being chased by Mama Imelda, and he goes through a door in the alleyway]
Mamá Imelda: I am trying to save your life!
Miguel: You're ruining my life!
Mamá Imelda: [shocked] What?
Miguel: Music's the only way that makes me happy. And, you wanna take that away! You'll never understand!
[Miguel turns to leave, but then he stops when he hears Mama Imelda singing a verse of "La Llorona"]
Miguel: [questioned, turning back] I thought you hated music.
Mamá Imelda: [smiling nostalgically] I LOVED it! I remember that my husband would play, and I loved to sing, and nothing else mattered.
[stops smiling; calmly]
Mamá Imelda: But when we had Coco, there was something that mattered more than music. I wanted to put down roots. He wanted to play for the world. We each made a sacrifice to get what we want. Now, you must make a choice.
Miguel: [resentfully] But, I don't want to pick sides. Why won't you just be on my side? That's what families do. Support you!
[tearful]
Miguel: But you never will...
[Miguel runs away, leaving Mama Imelda looking shocked and hurt]
