morning stretch Im really invested in Imelda and Pepita’s relationship... like when they revealed Pepita was her alebrije I just about lost my mind, it’s just so cool

Figured it was high time I shared some of the stuff I did on Coco! This was a quick shot I got to animate as part of the Crowds/2nd Unit team on the film. Trying to explain to friends and family what I worked on in the movie though was the weirdest thing ever: "Oh yeah, I did a quick shot where a couple of skeletons at a party take and eat taquitos off of the back spines of a colorful, glowing porcupine." Enjoy!

Pepita painted on a doily. The background is a piece of scrapbook paper, and the marigold petals are fabric.

Was there any connection between Héctor and his alibrije in life? Life with Imelda and Pepita and Miguel and dante? Did he ever save a bat or did she hear him and Ernesto playing one night while hanging from a tree? Idk I was just wondering.

This was addressed in Leatherwing briefly!

“Hey! Just wait until you see my familia!” he said, swallowing down his anxiety as he looked back up at her. “My Coco would like you. I always told her how bats didn’t sing like birds do, but they dance in the air.”

Pizzicato gave a loud peep at that, weaving gracefully around the air up ahead of him. Some other skeletons even took notice, a few children pointing her out.

“Sí, just like that!” The crowds were getting denser now as they got closer to the Santa Cecilia gate, and he knew he would have a decent wait ahead of him. For a moment he frowned at the cluster of people ahead, but the colors of the bat were easily distracting. Shaking himself, he focused on her again. “I took her outside one night and we set out some sugar water, and sure enough, one came dancing through the sky. She loved it.”

Pizzicato did a loop-the-loop before fluttering back over to him, hooking herself onto the pouch on his belt.

“Maybe you can dance for her again, when we get there.”

Héctor would take Coco outside sometimes and show her the bats flying around. They gave one particular bat a treat, and said bat remembered it, haha.

I saw Coco the other day and loved it!  I wanted to draw an alibrije and SleepingReader’s Frida Gato was very cute so I drew her.

It’s very cute, short and fluffy but contains spoilers for the movie Coco.  GO INTO COCO BLIND!

So did hector know his Alibrije in life at all like Imelda knew pepita when she was alive?

Yes and no--Pizzicato was not a pet like Pepita was, buuut...

From chapter 3 of my fic:

“Hey! Just wait until you see my familia!” he said, swallowing down his anxiety as he looked back up at her. “My Coco would like you. I always told her how bats didn’t sing like birds do, but they dance in the air.”

Pizzicato gave a loud peep at that, weaving gracefully around the air up ahead of him. Some other skeletons even took notice, a few children pointing her out.
