Imelda Rivera - Tumblr Posts

I remember that feeling. When my husband would play and I would sing and nothing else mattered.

COCO: Héctor + Imelda + moments

You make me un poco loco, un poquititito loco The way you keep me guessing, I’m nodding and I’m yes-ing I’ll count it as a blessing that I’m only un poco loco

Today’s skele is: Imelda Rivera from Coco

“Never forget how much your family cares for you”

Some time ago, when Coco only came out, someone pointed out that all the people in the land of the dead were adults, and not old people like we expected. Coco was the only one who we saw as an old lady after death.

I think I know why. Remember the photos on the ofrenda: everyone was the same as in the dead world. For example, mother Imelda dies of old age presumably, or a while after Hector did. Yet she stayed in the form of a 20-30 years old woman in the dead world. Because her picture on the ofrenda shows her when she was 20-30 yo, when Coco was small and about a few months before Hector's death. Coco's picture, however, was placed when she was old, so she appeared as an old lady in the dead world.
