After the great response to my pure-and-wholesome Paperman/Coco edit, I figured I would put my new art tablet to the test and make a not-so-pure-and-wholesome Coco edit, this time with The Emperor’s New Groove as a reference. I like to think this was his internal monologue.
Please tag with spoilers!
The transformation:

After the truth was revealed about Ernesto de la Cruz, the people in the Land of the Dead offered Héctor fame and fortune to rival what Ernesto had accumulated through lies and violence. He tells everyone he doesn’t want any of those things. He never did. He was remembered by his family now, and that was enough.
He moved out of the village of the forgotten ones to be with Imelda and her family, and shortly after they welcomed Coco into their house with as much joy as the first time she was brought home and more. They sang and danced just loud enough for the neighbors to hear and no one else. And they were happy. Because they were together. No moments to seize, no threats to their loved ones. Only each other by their side every day and reunions with their living family once a year.
