What is Miguel’s mother called in Pixar’s Coco?

Miguel’s mother in Pixar’s Coco is called Luisa Rivera.

Luisa is part of the Rivera family, whose members make shoes in the Mexican town of Santa Cecilia. She is married to Enrique Rivera and is the mother of Miguel, the film’s young protagonist.

The film includes several generations of Rivera women, which can make their names difficult to separate. Elena is Miguel’s grandmother, Imelda is his great-great-grandmother, and Coco is Miguel’s great-grandmother. Luisa is the parent immediately connected to Miguel’s childhood home.

Miguel’s family has forbidden music for generations because Imelda’s husband left to pursue a musical career. Luisa therefore initially supports the family rule, even as Miguel secretly follows his passion for music.
