[CHEERING]
Hey, you did good.
I'm proud of you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi, everyone.
I'm Anthony Gonzalez, and I voiced Miguel Rivera in "Coco."
I'm Lee Unkrich, and I'm the director of "Coco."
We're here to celebrate the movie by revisiting
some of our favorite scenes.
I am not like the rest of my family.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hola, Miguel.
Hola.
OK, yeah.
That scene always brings me so much happiness watching it
because you can just see how much Miguel is so
happy with music, and it's really a scene that sets off
the wonderful world of "Coco."
Hey, Dante!
When Dante pops out of the garbage can
and Miguel is doing sit, down, roll over,
that is something that my son, Max, did with our dog, Waffles.
I kind of put that in there as a little surprise for my kids
when they saw the movie.
Also in that sequence are some great Easter eggs.
You can see piñatas of Buzz Lightyear,
and Woody, and Mike Wazowski.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Remember me, though I have to say goodbye.
Remember me.
Don't let it make you cry.
"Remember Me" is such an amazing song.
It has so many wonderful interpretations.
And in this scene right here, you
can see how much love Héctor has for Mamá Coco,
and how much he has to give for his family.
I'm a pretty sorry excuse for a great-great-grandpa.
Are you kidding?--
I'm very proud of Anthony Gonzalez and, of course,
the animators who were inspired by their voices,
and then brought the characters to life.
--there's been something that made me different.--
There's some very delicate understated
acting in that scene.
--I know it comes from you.
I remember recording this in the recording
studio with Lee Unkrich.
(IN SYNC WITH SCENE) "I'm proud to be your family!"
Like, I remember doing this, and it's so
fun to be able to see it again.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm proud to be his family.
[CHEERING]
Mamá Coco, your papá, he wanted you to have this.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GASPING]
The one scene in "Coco" that has impacted my life immensely
was the scene when Miguel sings to Mamá Coco, "Remember Me."
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Remember me.
That stands out for a lot of people, myself included.
Anthony sings "Remember Me" so beautifully.
The animation of Miguel and the animation of Coco slowly coming
to life I just think is lovely.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Each night we are apart.
When I was in the recording studio
when I was recording and singing that,
it was so incredibly emotional for me.
It was probably the first time I was crying
and singing at the same time.
I had so many emotions.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Know that I'm with you--
In order for it to really have emotional impact
on the audience, we had to lay a lot of train track
throughout the film to get to that moment,
and let the audience fall in love
with both of the characters, and in love
with Hêctor as well because, ostensibly, the moment
is about Héctor and saving his memory.
[BABY BABBLING]
These aren't just old pictures, they're our family,
and they're counting on us to remember them.
I've been really fortunate between "Toy Story
3" and "Coco," two movies I've directed, that both have
multiple emotional beats, and you
feel like almost this like tidal wave of emotion.
The other thing that I think about
is just, again, how Anthony's voice is so beautifully
clear as he sings that song.
Enjoy your visit, Héctor.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Last night, it seemed.
And it makes me a little nostalgic because Anthony is
18 years old now, so he's not that little
boy that we cast way back when.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) To a melody playing.
You see that Héctor is wearing shoes now,
and he's able to walk across the bridge
for the first time, something he's never been able to do.
What I always wanted was a very powerful, uplifting, kind
of family-filled celebration.
This song, "Proud Corazón," is one of the most amazing songs.
I'm so glad I had the honor to sing it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It's really the first song Miguel sings where his family
is happy, and they're along with him,
and he doesn't have to hide his passion for music anymore.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) We'll live on forever in every beat
of my proud corazón.
(TOGETHER) Happy fifth anniversary, "Coco."
