64 Coco Movie Quotes That Are Definitely Wonderful

Last Updated On February 21, 2023 by Elizabeth Morgan

Coco is a Disney Pixar movie that was released in 2017. It follows a 12 year old boy named Miguel and is about his family in Mexico. You’re going to love these Coco movie quotes.

Coco is one of my two favorite Pixar movies! The other is Monster’s University. Coco has the cutest storyline and the animation is absolutely beautiful. I love the music too!

It’s one of those movies where you can’t help, but shed a tear at a few parts. Especially at the end when Mama Coco remembers her papa!

Miguel loves music, but his family hates it. His idol is the famous Ernesto De La Cruz, who he thinks he’s related to.

He accidentally ends up in the Land Of The Dead where he meets his ancestors, Ernesto De La Cruz, and his new friend Hector. He learns the real history of his family and learns how important family really is.

The movie takes place before Dia De Los Muertos (Day Of The Dead). He has to help his family in the Land Of The Living remember Coco’s dad Hector and get his picture on their family’s ofrenda.

The characters are voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, Gael Garcia Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, Jaime Camil, and more.

These Coco movie quotes are emotional, funny, and cute.
