Furthermore, Miguel has to be restored to the Land of the Living before sunrise, or he will become one of the dead. They learn that Imelda cannot cross because Miguel removed her portrait from the ofrenda. They believe this is related to Imelda's inability to cross the bridge to the world of the living, and take Miguel to the Land of the Dead to solve the puzzle. Instead, he can see his skeletal dead relatives, who are visiting the Land of the Living on this holiday, and they can see him. While finding a guitar to use, Miguel then discovers something hidden in the photo of Imelda – taken with her husband and an infant Coco – at the center of the family ofrenda: her husband (whose face is ripped out) was holding the guitar famously used by Ernesto.Ĭoncluding that he is Ernesto's great-great-grandson, Miguel is emboldened to steal the musician's guitar from his mausoleum to use in the show, but in doing so, he plays a magic chord and finds that he is no longer visible or tangible to living people (only to Dante, a street dog he has befriended). With his dream crushed, Miguel runs off to the talent show to perform anyway. When Miguel tries to enter a talent show for the Day of the Dead, his Abuelita destroys his guitar when he tried to convince her to see him play.
