And in a way, I’m struck by the courage of a group of artisans like Pixar to actually explore these darker themes. Again, I don’t want to spoil anything, but we all know what happens and I was kind of, wait a second.

That’s a great question because it was probably about two thirds through the movie before I remembered what it is my character does in the end. Did he know the full story behind his character when he signed on to the project?

And then the song that Gael delivers: raw, simple, emotional, truly moving. It’s expository, but it also-it just punches you right in the heart because you realize, oh, wait a second, if we don’t stay connected to where we come from, we don’t remember our antepasados, the people who came before us, that’s it, we’re finally moving on to where? Who knows? But it’s probably not a good place because you not supported by people in the land of the living.

One of my favorite scenes in the film…was that scene with Eddie Olmos, who plays Chicharrón, where it really spells out what it is to finally die, the final death. Was there a moment in the film that made him cry?Ī moment? There were a handful of moments. And then when you add that technical expertise to the emotional depth of the film and what it delivers at the end, there’s no other word for it. There was a lot about it that affected me, but I think I was most struck by the beauty of the artistry. “I’ve been around the block a little bit and that was probably the most spectacular, most heartwarming, most fun premier I’ve ever been to.” How can you not enjoy talking to someone who is so clearly still carrying over their enthusiasm from the night before? What struck him most when he finally saw the finished film?

A perfect example of that was our interview with Benjamin Bratt, who voices Ernesto de la Cruz in Pixar’s Coco. I mentioned earlier this week that I thought it was so much fun to do interviews with the talent from a film the morning after a premiere.
