Except Coco thought the music forbade wasn't right and the movie does support Coco on that. But it also support the family importance. The overall aesop was that follow your dreams, but don't forget your family.

Well, not really. Ernesto's the only character who rightly points out that following your dreams might mean leaving your family, and he's a murdering liar. Again, I'm not saying that the movie didn't portray music and following dreams in a positive light, as in the end, everyone gets to have both — only that at the end of the day, given the choice between dreams and family, family is framed as the correct choice. And that's an unusual aesop in this day and age, where it's increasingly accepted that families are sometimes awful.
