Pixar's Coco (Post-release)

To go on what @dascoyne said about Asian families, I can tell you that, as an Asian as well, he(?) is 100% correct. Asian traditions, as far as family traditions, do tend to be very similar to Hispanic/Latin family traditions in as far with both family is very important along with respecting one's elders. There's a reason why you see so many Asians attending a lot of top colleges like UCLA, USC, Berkley, UCI, and the Ivy Leagues and it's because we, as a group, greatly value the power of a good education and so we are pressured to get good grades and go to a good college throughout our childhoods. Once we get into college we're expected to continue to study hard and major in either law, medicine, or engineering; nothing else will suffice.

So, an Asian, there was a lot to Coco that I could relate to and rang true to me knowing the similarities in our culture. Most Asian families would apply pressure to their children to not pursue the arts as a career choice, to many Asian immigrant families there are only 3 suitable jobs for their children and that's to be either a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, period. I'm sure that more than one Asian parent saw what Miguel's mom did with his guitar as a just and appropriate action, they wouldn't have enjoyed it but they would definitely feel that it was completely justified and for the child's own good.
