"Coco" is a movie that I'm sure many Mexicans and Mexican-American's related to. It's such a beautiful movie that makes you laugh and cry; I even know cholos who have cried watching that movie!

Speaking to Chuco Relic, the artist had this to say:

"We wanted to paint something inspiring to the neighborhood, and considering that area is in an older area, we wanted to do something that hit home for a lot of us in the Hispanic culture. I grew up with a grandmother who actually had Alzheimer's. My other brother who helped collaborate on this, @relm72, also has a gma that lives nearby. We wanted to do something that alot of the hispanic community can relate to. Numerous diseases as far as dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and diabetes take the ones that we love too early. I loved the film from beginning to end honestly, so I cant say there's a favorite part... But the part that did it for me is when gma coco remembers the song and came back to her senses. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who could agree that we all wish our loved ones snapped out of it for a moment , if not longer."
