Aspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family’s ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer.

Remember me, though I have to say goodbye / Remember me, don’t let it make you cry / For even if I’m far away, I hold you in my heart / I sing a secret song to you, each night we are apart / Remember me, though I have to travel far / Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar / Know that I’m with you, the only way that I can be / Until you’re in my arms again, remember me…
– Héctor

…And never forget how much your family cares for you.

Miguel?

Mamá Imelda?

No Music!

This isn’t a dream, then – you’re all really out there.
– Miguel
You thought we weren’t?

Well, I don’t know – I thought it might have been one of those made-up things adults tell kids! Like vitamins.

Well, now I’m thinking maybe they could be.
– Miguel
