Short filmTranscript
00:00A new Dia de los Muertos, it's been three years since Miguel's journey to the land of the dead.
00:05He's now 16 and a rising music star in Santa Cecilia, loved for honoring his roots.
00:11This Dia de los Muertos, he performs a new song inspired by his ancestors.
00:16But after his performance, strange petals rain from the sky, glowing blue instead of orange.
00:22Abuelita Coco's spirit visits him briefly, whispering,
00:25the tree is fading and she vanishes before Miguel can understand her warning.
00:31A message from the other side, confused and shaken,
00:33Miguel returns home to find an old guitar left at his window.
00:38It's not his, it's covered in ancient carvings and emits a soft hum when played.
00:43When he strums it, he's pulled into a dreamlike trance.
00:46He sees visions of a massive glowing tree connecting both realms, the spirit tree.
00:51Hector and Imelda appear in the vision, looking worried.
00:53They warn, if the spirit tree dies, both worlds will unravel.
00:58Crossing over again, desperate to help, Miguel places the guitar on the ofrenda and sings a passage.
01:04A familiar marigold bridge forms, but this time it's brittle and flickering.
01:09He crosses anyway, finding himself in the land of the dead, now darker and unstable.
01:14The city is still colorful, but patches of it are fading like old memories.
01:18Hector and Imelda greet him, explaining that the spirit tree sustains memory and spirit alike.
01:23But it's weakening because someone has stolen, has stolen the heart note.
01:27Ha ha, sacred milk.
01:29The heart note, the heart note is a song hidden inside the spirit tree, sung once every hundred years.
01:35It keeps the link between the living and dead strong.
01:38Legend says only a child who understands both worlds can sing it.
01:42Someone has taken it to gain power over forgotten souls, turning them into shadows.
01:47Miguel is the only one who can recover it, because he's already connected to both realms.
01:51But time is short.
01:53If the heart note isn't returned by sunrise, the tree will vanish forever.
01:58Hmm.
01:58Dante's clue Miguel's loyal elaborate Dante returns, still mischievous but wiser.
02:03He leads Miguel deep into the forgotten regions of the land of the dead.
02:08There they meet Luz, a ghost girl who never got her offrenda, and hides from fading.
02:13She reveals she saw a shadowy figure, El Silencio, take the heart note.
02:18El Silencio is gathering forgotten souls to build his own realm.
02:22Miguel promises to help her be remembered in exchange for guidance.
02:26The archive of Echoes' The Trio journeys to the Archive of Echoes, where every song ever sung is stored.
02:32Here, Miguel learns the heart note was last sung by a mysterious ancestor named Alma Rivera.
02:38She disappeared centuries ago, and her final song was never recorded.
02:42A faded scroll reveals that Alma's melody is the key to restoring the tree.
02:46Miguel must find Alma's lost song, or compose it himself by understanding her story.
02:51But to do that, he must find her spirit.
02:54Forbidden lands to find Alma.
02:55They must enter La Sambre, a realm of the forgotten souls.
03:00This place is colorless, full of broken memories and haunting whispers.
03:03They face soul storms, winds made of forgotten names, and fading faces.
03:08Dante shields Miguel using a leverage magic, growing larger and more majestic.
03:13In the storm center, they find a withered version of Alma, barely alive.
03:18She doesn't speak, only hums a haunting melody.
03:20The lost song Miguel plays along with Alma's hums, slowly reconstructing her forgotten lullaby.
03:26As he plays, Alma regains form and begins to sing, her voice ancient yet strong.
03:32The song reveals her pain.
03:33She was exiled from the Rivera family for singing against tradition.
03:37She wandered until she lost all memory of herself.
03:40But now, her melody becomes a spark.
03:43The heart note is reborn in Miguel's hands.
03:46He must carry it back to the spirit tree before the final chord fades.
03:50El Silencio strikes before Miguel can leave La Sambre.
03:53El Silencio appears, an armored figure made of cracked instruments.
03:57He was once a famous musician who was forgotten by all and went mad.
04:02He believes that controlling the heart note will force the living to remember him.
04:06He traps Alma's soul and shatters Miguel's guitar.
04:09But, Luz sacrifices herself to help Miguel escape.
04:13Miguel vows to return for her.
04:15A new melody back in the vibrant land of the dead, Miguel rebuilds his guitar using memories.
04:21Family spirits give him pieces.
04:23Himelda's ribbon, Hocketer Old Strings, and Coco's pendant.
04:27Together, they craft a guitar that glows with golden and blue energy.
04:31Miguel writes a new version of Alma's song, blending her past with his present.
04:35It becomes the new heart note, a song for the forgotten and the remembered.
04:38But he must now face El Silencio one last time.
04:41The final battle begins.
04:43Miguel returns to the spirit tree, which is nearly completely faded.
04:49El Silencio waits, wielding dark music that corrupts anything at the end.
04:52The sky cracks above, with both worlds starting to collapse.
04:56As their melodies clash, colors surge and fade in bursts.
05:00Miguel begins singing Alma's lullaby, and it weakens El Silencio's grip.
05:05The spirits around begin to remember.
05:07Color floods back into their forms.
05:09Light over silence El Silencio strikes a final blow, shattering part of the spirit tree.
05:14But Alma's voice echoes through the leaves.
05:16You are not forgotten.
05:19Her spirit returns, and together with Miguel, they finish the heart note.
05:23El Silencio collapses.
05:25Not in pain, but in peace.
05:27Finally remembered.
05:28The tree lights up with golden and blue blossoms.
05:30A wave of music restores the broken realms.
05:33Rebirth of the tree, the spirit tree bursts with energy, and a new bridge of petals forms above.
05:39The land of the dead is more vibrant than ever.
05:41Even La's thought lost returns as a shining, elaborate spirit.
05:45Miguel watches as Alma takes her place among remembered ancestors, La.
05:50She tells Miguel, memory isn't just about family, it's about forgiveness.
05:54The tree plant seeds across both worlds.
05:57Miguel's decision, Miguel, is offered a choice.
05:59Stay longer in the land of the dead or return.
06:02Though tempted to stay with his ancestors, he knows his place is with the living.
06:06He hugs everyone goodbye, promising to return every Dia de los Muertos.
06:12Hacatar and Imelda give him a final gift, a page from Alma's old songbook.
06:16Dante leads Miguel back across the bridge.
06:19Just before crossing, he hears the heart note echo once more.
06:23Back to the living, Miguel awakens near the ofrenda as sunrise begins.
06:27His guitar now glows faintly and sings when strung.
06:31He runs to tell his family, who have felt something strange too.
06:34Miguel adds Alma's photo to the altar, completing the Rivera legacy.
06:38He writes a new song dedicated to the forgotten.
06:41And for the first time, he feels like a true bridge between two worlds.
06:45A festival of light that night, the village holds a festival like no other.
06:49Petals fall like rain, and lanterns light up the skies.
06:54Spirits are seen dancing in the corners of mortal eyes.
06:57Miguel performs the heart note publicly for both the living and the dead.
07:01The song becomes legend, passed down for generations.
07:05The spirit tree blooms every year on that very night.
07:09A new spirit guide Dante, older now, chooses to stay behind in the land of the dead.
07:14Miguel's little sister Marisol finds a tiny glowing pup one day, Dante's pup reborn.
07:20She begins to show signs of hearing the music of both worlds too.
07:24Miguel realizes the legacy is an ending.
07:27It's growing.
07:27Music connects everything.
07:30Life, memory, future.
07:31A new generation begins to write its own songs.
07:34A whisper in the wind as Miguel writes a new tune under a tree.
07:38A breeze carries familiar voices.
07:40It's hocked ear humming a playful riff, and Coco laughing softly.
07:44Miguel closes his eyes, smiling and strums gently.
07:47The tree's blossoms glow in response.
07:50It's quiet, but full of life.
07:52And the music plays on.
07:53Optional post-credit scene in a hidden corner of the land of the dead.
07:57A forgotten spirit stumbles upon a seedling.
08:00It blooms with a new kind of flower, shaped like a music note.
08:04A voice whispers, every song you sing brings us closer.
08:07A child's laughter echoes through the petals.
08:09And somewhere, a new story begins.
08:12Title reveal Hibiscus Coco too.
