![]() ![]() His spirit was sent to the Land of the Dead where he would entertain the residents (notably having a Sunrise Spectacular at the end of Dia de los Muertos) while hosting parties at his grand estate with an arsenal of security guards. His body was laid to rest in his own mausoleum in his and Héctor's hometown, Santa Cecilia. ![]() Finishing it on a high note, a distracted stagehand dropped a giant bell on him, killing him. Twenty-one years into his life of fame, Ernesto performed "Remember Me" in front of his fans. Seizing the opportunity, Ernesto stole Héctor's songbook and guitar to become a musical legend. Going to the train station, Héctor suffered immense pain in his stomach and subsequently died as Ernesto had spiked his drink with poison. I would move heaven and earth for you, mi amigo". Ernesto seemingly accepted his decision and sent Héctor off with a toast, stating "To our friendship. Ernesto desperately tried to change his mind, needing his friend's songs, but Héctor remained firm. Months into their tour of Mexico, a homesick Héctor decided to return home. ![]() He even genuinely planned to give Miguel his blessing to return to the Land of the Living no strings attached.Įrnesto de la Cruz was a rising musician with his childhood friend Héctor as his songwriter. This was shown when Héctor, realizing he was actually murdered, got in a scuffle with him (despite their differing skeletal structures) and fled confrontation with the former, Miguel, and their family who had been informed of Héctor being murdered.Įrnesto is not completely evil as he saved Miguel from drowning in his pool without even knowing he was alive (the directors confirmed this was done out of genuine kindness). He would call on his security guards to fight his own battles or do his dirty work. ![]() Ernesto even deemed Miguel, a living child who idolized him his whole life and supposedly related to him, as liability and made many attempts on the boy's life with no remorse or hesitation.ĭe la Cruz can also be a coward. He would go to great lengths to preserve the great legacy he left behind in the Land of the Living, making him very paranoid. After his untimely death, his murders were more darker. He resorted to murdering his best friend Héctor, who wanted to go back home to his family, and stealing his songs to achieve fame and glory while not giving him any credit. However, it is later revealed that Ernesto was really nothing more than two-bit, selfish, and and an overambitious opportunist. From here on out, I really enjoy the rest of PIXAR's movies (as of early 2021), and it started with Coco, which I consider to be the start of a PIXAR renaissance.At first glance, Ernesto presents himself as a charming, wise, grandfatherly, and sensible individual who encouraged others to follow their dreams no matter what, making him seem like a good role model. Coming right after Cars 3, this movie is a huge breath of fresh air. The Land of the Dead is gorgeous and a really cool world to see. This movie is also a great dive into Mexican culture, which was really cool to see. I always cry at the end of this movie, it moves me every time. The animation syncs so well with all the music especially when characters play guitar the animation is once again extremely impressive, which has become a cliche to say. The characters are really really good, which is a compliment I haven't given to many recent PIXAR flicks. Coco is easily PIXAR's best movie since Inside Out, it's not even close. ![]()
