Tumblr: Boycott Coco! It’s made by white people and is offensive to Mexicans!
Meanwhile, in Mexico:
🙄🙄 Ignorant people. It’s not offensive, even if it was made by white people. Just a complete copy of an amazing movie (Book of Life) this movie is doing well because well, it’s a DISNEY movie.
Go watch both Coco and Book of Life and learn more about Mexican culture.
✌🏽🇲🇽
@erikaamichelle Nope, not even that. Coco is Not a ‘Complete Copy’ Of Book Of Life. It is actually Completely different from that film in so many ways! The only thing they have in common is Dia De Muertos. And these points are what I’m standing by.
• Focuses On Mexican Heritage And tradition while Book Of Life is more based on Spanish.
• Disney/Pixar didn’t turn down Book Of Life! That was DreamWorks
• The stories are NOT the same
• Completely different art styles.
• Mexican heritage Representation.
• Heavily researched and detailed for authenticity and respect.
• All Hispanic Cast.
• The two films went into Production a few years apart. This film isn’t anything new.
• And The Team behind Book Of Life is in full support of Coco and are wishing it much success! There is no rivalry at all between them at all.
If Hallmark can make 85000000 Christmas movies around the same fucking premise (lonely cishet white people find love on Christmas) then we can have two popular Dia de los Muertos cartoons without cries of “plagiarism” thrown around.
People on tumblr: Disney doesn’t do enough ethnic movies about other cultures besides white ones.
Disney: Comes out with the movie Coco.
People on tumblr: Omg boycott Coco. Its so racist of Disney to make a movie of a different cultural background of its producers.
