Continuity mistake: Miguel is thrown into the pit and lands in water, being completely submerged. But a couple minutes later when Hector mentions Coco, Miguel pulls the family picture out of his pocket, and the picture is totally dry and showing no effects of being submerged.

Pixar makes fine movies suitable for all ages, and perhaps this is one of its finest. It has amassed 67 accolades and was nominated for 86 others so far. And from what I can see in the film, I'd say it well deserves the praise it has received so far. The English viewers might want to keep a Spanish dictionary at hand, although in this era, that dictionary would be in the form of a smartphone with Internet connection.
In this astoundingly vibrant and well-rendered CGI animated feature film, a young Mexican boy named Miguel wants to become a musician but it is forbidden in his family to pursue this or even to listen to music. What follows is a magical adventure to discover the truth about his relative's past, expose a villain, bring forgiveness, acceptance and healing to the family, as well as remembrance of the departed. Fun, sweet, respectful and sometimes poignant, Coco entertains from beginning to end and has messages worth keeping close to heart for viewers of all ages.

Question: Why didn't the aunts just tell Miguel that Ernesto De La Cruz wasn't his grandfather when Miguel was rambling about it when he entered the Land of the Dead?
Answer: Because Miguel didn't unambiguously talk about his wrong assumption. In other words, he never said, "my grand-grandfather and Imelda's husband, Ernesto de la Cruz" (which is wrong). He only called him grand-grandfather and Imelda simply referred to him as a good-for-nothing musician. The aunts, uncles and the grandfather Julio all knew about Hector, as can be inferred from the reunion scene.

Answer: The aunts may not actually know. Because his ancestor hated him so much, she may have talked about him very little in both the real world and the afterlife.
