#coco (2017)

[magicalmadrigals]

I love this 🎨 two single mamás trying their best 🤍

I was looking at the video of Coco winning at the Oscars in 2018 and I thought to myself "Self, I wonder if now Tumblr has increased its maximum permissible GIF size it's now possible to show that Gael + Oscar hug without having to use eighteen billion GIFs to do it?" and lo and behold it was...

Bonus GIFs:

The idea of this, is that its taking place before Hector's murder. There days on the road, when he and Imelda are missing each other terribly, and it is slowly getting to breaking piont.

This song felt like something Hector might write, putting his feelings into words. So hes not simply singing a song, there is some real emotion behind it, though the crowd is unaware of this. This is for his Imelda.

Rating MORE Little Characters in Animation!

Here's my continuation of my list of animated characters with dwarfism (whether explicitly stated or not, as it can go unnamed) and my thoughts on their LP representation!

General Bonesapart, Corpse Bride (2005) - 0/10

General Bonesapart is stabbed, then picked up and spun around by the main character. "I've got a dwarf, and I'm not afraid to use it". Such physical comedy is degrading and dehumanizing.

Outside of this scene, we see him very little throughout - he is simply there for comic relief.

He is clearly of his time - likely a court dwarf or dressed for entertainment (Little people were often dressed as generals in circuses despite never being given such status)

The only credit I'll give them is the proportions and historical accuracy

Lord Farquaad, Shrek (2001) - 0/10

Classic small man syndrome - "Do you think he's compensating for something?" - Shrek

Mike Myers really does love his LP comedy

Another situation where the only thing I can really credit them on is anatomy - this is spot on to Achrondroplasia

Not only did they make the Little character the villain, they made him hate the marginalized/outcast characters and enact their imprisonment which I found devastating.

Papi, Kronk's New Groove (2005) - 7/10

Papi is highly respected by all the able bodied characters

I dock him points for not being the best father, and being overall a very grumpy character

His anatomy is consistent with disproportional dwarfism without a lot of exaggeration for comedic purposes

He's overall quite well rounded and family-oriented, and we see him develop as the movie resolves

Julio Rivera, Coco (2017) - 10/10

Despite not being in the man cast, I loved Julio's inclusion on the Rivera family and how seamlessly he fit in. (His family also includes a pair of twins and characters of all shapes and sizes. Loved the diversity!) He's never a punch line and is well loved by his family and the main character Miguel. No notes!

Sadie Miller, Steven Universe (2013-2019)

11/10

Absolutely love her! She's an excellent character with great development and is well loved by her community. She has two love interests throughout the show that are both average height, and she is a kind and loving character through and through.

Why did these two skeletons have so much chemistry

[imeldaesthetic]

I know we have to wait another 4 years for this movie to actually premiere, but we’re getting Imelda and Héctor happily married and back with their little girl and you have no idea how happy that makes me 😭🤍

[toonbromli]

I just learned they’re making Coco 2:

[ddalameda]

Hi! I'm alive! Uhm… Am I sorry?

I really want to get back into the fandom, but I got eaten by transformers, wow. I hope I'll really be back soon.

In the meantime, I just happened to find an old sketch that for some reason I didn't post.

Ugh, they're two weirdos who like to parody each other.

Can we talk about this for a minute????

The way Hector motions to the family to get behind him and puts his hand out to protect them is *chef's kiss*. He's already taking the role of Patriarch of the family. 🥹

Also, how he's at the front, being the leader and ready to jump in if De La Cruz lays a finger on Imelda. 🥺💜

The twins looking out for each other is everything to me. I don't know which one is which, but one of them pulling the other back broke me. It was so sweet! 😭😭😭

This gif is everything to me. It shows how much the family loves each other and how they look out for one another. 🧡

[magicalmadrigals]

alongside my encanto fics I’m now in the process of planning out such a fun coco one! 🎉 the love I have for this family is actually insane I can’t

[elsasmiracle]

“Oh, mi familia!”

When Coco 2 got announced today, I just knew I needed to do an Imelda edit to celebrate because she’s my girl and I’m genuinely just obsessed with her 💜 This took forever to get the way I wanted it, but I’m so pleased with the result! I cannot wait for more info on what Coco 2 is going to be about ✨

“Come to Mexico City!” It was an old refrain by now, one Miguel had heard at least a hundred times to the point that it became a running joke among his diehard fans.
