History YMMV / Coco

** The promotion of Latino co-writer [[https://twitter.com/AdrianTheMolina Adrian Molina]] to co-director after people complained about a white man directing a film about Mexico.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:

* InternetBackdraft: During the early stages of production, Disney attempted to trademark the phrase "Dia de los Muertos" for merchandising purposes, which drew a lot of ire from Mexicans for attempting to co-opt their national holiday. Disney quickly dropped the trademark appeal in response.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: [[Film/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 My Little Pony: The Movie]] getting murdered at the box office by [[Film/BladeRunner2049 Blade Runner 2049]] (and most of the non-brony internet ignoring ''My Little Pony'' to focus all their attention on ''Blade Runner 2049''). is bad news for ''Coco''. [[Film/ThorRagnarok Thor: Ragnarok]] and [[Film/JusticeLeague Justice League]] come out pretty close to ''Coco'', meaning what happened to ''My Little Pony'' set a precedent for the two superhero movies murdering ''Coco'' at the box office (and stealing the internet's attention away from ''Coco'').

** The film has also drawn up some comparisons to ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', seeing as how the plot appears to revolve around the main character traveling to a spiritual world and must find his way back home.

* FandomRivalry: An extremely one-sided one with ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', as detailed under TheyCopiedItSoItSucks.
* InternetBackdraft: During the early stages of production, Disney attempted to trademark the phrase "Dia de los Muertos" for merchandising purposes, which drew a lot of ire from Mexicans for attempting to co-opt their national holiday. Disney quickly dropped the trademark appeal in response which lead to the AuthorsSavingThrow listed above.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The animation in the Teaser Trailer is ''beautiful''! It's exactly what one would expect from Pixar.

* BrokenBase: There was some criticism regarding Lee Unkrich's role as director of the film over whether or not he, a white American man, should be directing a film about a ''Mexican'' holiday.

** After the "Day of the Dead" copyright fiasco, Disney changed the title of the film, removing the need for said copyright. They subsequently [[HireTheCritic hired]] Mexican-American cartoonist [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalo_Alcaraz Lalo Alcaraz]] (who lead the social media backlash against Disney's attempts to copyright "Day of the Dead") as a consultant on the film, alongside noted playwright [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octavio_Solis Octavio Solis]] and Mexican Heritage Corp CEO [[http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/12/pixar-coco-gael-garcia-bernal-dia-de-los-muertos-miguel Marcela Davison Aviles]].

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The animation in the Teaser Trailer is ''beautiful''! Exactly what one would expect from Pixar.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Some have accused the film of ripping-off ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', given how both films are set around the Day of the Dead and feature protagonists who love music. However, this is unlikely, seeing as ''Coco'' was already in production when ''The Book of Life'' came out. For his part, Jorge Gutierrez, who directed ''The Book of Life'', [[https://twitter.com/mexopolis/status/632580456823721984 is excited for the movie.]]

** Whether the Frozen Christmas Special should precede it or not. Whereas fans of Frozen will be looking up to seeing the short, other fans (mostly those who are burned out of Frozen) feel it's a lazy attempt to get quick bucks from Disney, and feel it's an insult that, once again, a prominent white character is overshadowing a non-white lead (as it happened before with Frozen vs Big Hero 6, and Moana vs Beauty and the Beast (2017)).

** The promotion of Latino co-writer [[https://twitter.com/AdrianTheMolina Adrian Molina]] to co-director may be seen as a subtle response to criticism over a white man directing a film about Mexico.

* BrokenBase:
** There have been some criticism regarding Lee Unkrich's role as director of the film over whether or not he, a white American man, should be directing a film about a ''Mexican'' holiday.
** The fact that Disney tried (unsuccessfully) to copyright "Day of the Dead" in relation to this film also caused a lot of backlash.

** Believe it or not, there have been some criticism regarding Lee Unkrich's role as director of the film over whether or not he, a white American man, should be directing a film about a ''Mexican'' holiday.

** Lee Unkrich's role as director of the film, believe it or not. Some people either don't mind this or think it helps show support towards Mexicans. Others, however, don't feel like a white man should be directing a film about a ''Mexican'' holiday.
