This example was removed because there's supposed to be no real-life examples on tearjerker pages, but there's several real-life examples on other tearjerker pages. I think this should go back on, because of how relevant this is to Ernesto's crimes being exposed to the world.

  • Coco came out shortly after the Weinstein effect started and at the height of the Me Too movement, where several much respected and famous actors and other film/television industry big shots were accused of sexual harassment and abuse. Several of them were found guilty, which destroyed fans' passion for them and their work. While the movie has been in production since the early 2010s, seeing Miguel and both the Lands of the Living and Dead lose all respect for de la Cruz once his crimes are exposed seems eerily relevant for a time period where the same thing was happening to fans of several real-life celebrities. Even worse is that John Lasseter, Pixar founder/CEO and hero to many aspiring animators, was revealed to have a history of sexual misconduct barely a week before this movie was released in the United States.
