History Trivia / Coco

* NonSingingVoice: Even though Benjamin Bratt does some of his own singing as Ernesto de la Cruz, his Spanish vocals in the original version were provided by the Los Angeles-based Latin-American singer Antonio Sol.

* CastingGag: Both the original English version and the Mexican Spanish dub feature eleven cast members from ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', albeit in different roles.

* HeyItsThatVoice: The Plaza Mariachi and Gustavo in the Land of the Dead sound very similar to [[RocketPower Lars Rodriguez.]]

** Miguel: Up and coming singer Luis Ángel Gómez Jaramillo which appeared on the Mexican version of TheVoice.

** Papá Julio: Director Alfonso Arau, whose previous directorial credits include ''Film/LikeWaterForChocolate'' and ''Film/AWalkInTheClouds''; as with Bernal, Arau voiced the character in both English and Spanish. You may also remember him as El Guapo from ''Film/ThreeAmigos''.

* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The movie is being released the day before Thanksgiving in the US.

* RealLifeRelative: In the Spanish dub Angélica Vale and Angélica María play a mother and daughter. However this is inverted as the real life daughter (Angélica Vale) plays the deceased matriarch Mamá Imelda while the real life mother (Angélica María) plays her descendant Abuelita. This only makes sense as it appears Mamá Imelda passed away at a younger age while Abuelita is still alive and has lived longer. Also, Víctor Trujillo, who voiced Chicharrón in the Mexican Spanish dub, is the brother of Rubén "Trujo" Trujillo, who provides additional voices in the original English version.
* ShortRunInPeru: The film was released in Mexico a little under four weeks earlier (October 27th) before its set release (November 22nd) in the United States. Justified, since Dia de Muertos is November 2nd and being released long after the holiday would make little sense.

* NoDubForYou: A very odd subversion happens for Spaniard viewers: Unlike other Disney films with specific voice acting for both Latin America and Spain, the Spaniard version ''will only use the Mexican Spanish dub'', instead of using one specific for Spain. This is due to the film's very Mexican setting, as an European Spanish dub would sound incredibly narmy for Spaniard viewers. For a better comparison for English-speaking readers, that would be equivalent if an American Western movie were acted by British actors, with fake American accents.[[note]]Interestingly enough, this is not the first time Disney has used Mexican voice acting in Spain, but the few times Disney has forced to do this was mostly for cost reasons, and they later stopped doing this, as Spaniard laws mostly forbids the use of non-Spaniard dubs in Spain.[[/note]]
