Coco Movie Family Tree Explained

The Rivera family is at the front and center of Disney Pixar’s Coco, and the many generations interacting simultaneously make the 2017 adventure drama’s family tree particularly tricky. Happening over the night before the Day of the Dead, Miguel’s initially unwitting journey through the Land of the Dead gives him the chance to interact with many of the Riveras that came before him. However, the most unexpected discovery comes from the search for his long-lost great-great-grandfather, who loved music just like Miguel and left his family to pursue his dream. With Coco‘s ending revealing truth about Héctor, the Rivera family tree receives heartbreaking answers to their ancestor’s mysterious legacy.
