Shoes symbolize family in Coco.

poisonapplepieshop:

Miguel’s family, the Riveras, make shoes. In the Land of the Dead, nearly everyone wears shoes. 

Even the “poor” dead, who have very little, typically wear them (the man on the left wears prominent boots).

In fact, we only see two characters who have none: Chicarron, who has no one left alive to remember him, and gets forgotten…

…and Hector, who has been kicked out of the family. 

Hector never wears shoes. In fact, even in his Frida costume, he is still barefoot. 

(The real Frida, on the other hand, wears boots.) 

The only time we see him wearing shoes?

When he is accepted back into the family and given a place on the ofrenda. 

The ofrenda is topped with a miniature version of his guitar, together with a copy of Mama Imelda’s boots.

@indigopersei is the french language just always on the verge of getting someone accused of assault or..?

my friend,
if only you knew

It’s a very dangerous language to learn

Here’s an interesting thing about French! Everything needs to have an article in front of it. That’s why it’s “la chat” as opposed to just “chat”. So, for instance, you could say la fille for the girl, or jeune fille for young girl, but you can’t just say fille, because that means you are calling her a sex worker in a derogatory way.

The moral of the story is, if you want to make something rude in French, just take out the article in front of it. Yes, this works for nearly. every. word.

#now I’m wondering how often my high school french teacher was silently screaming because of this little fact

Every year. Every year there’s that kid who forgets that you can’t translate “I am excited” to “Je suis excitée”. And every year Monsieur Jordan has to slam the brakes before that kid can finish his sentence and then tactfully ask him not to announce to the class that he is horny.

“is the french language always on the verge” oh buddy, oh pal, i am so happy to break this news to you: 

truly the language of love

“You’re rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, my friend.” Is such a brilliant line that sounds like it came outta the cigarette addled mouth of some noir detective interrogating a slimy perp, but no, it was actually Justin McElroy admonishing his brother’s driving skills in American Truck Simulator™️ and I think it’s beautiful how we can all just say words
