Who is Chicharrón?

Chicharrón is a minor but memorable character in Disney-Pixar’s animated film Coco. He resides in the Land of the Dead and represents a forgotten soul—one who is fading from existence because no one in the living world remembers him.

This concept in Coco is called “the final death,” where spirits in the afterlife disappear entirely once no one remembers them in the world of the living.

Chicharrón is an old friend of Hector, one of the main characters, who visits him to borrow a guitar. His scene is touching and humorous but also highlights one of the film’s core themes: the importance of memory and legacy. Chicharrón’s fading away is depicted as a poignant moment that underscores the deep emotional resonance of Coco, reminding audiences of the power of remembrance.

The character of Chicharrón is voiced by Edward James Olmos, a renowned actor known for his roles in Battlestar Galactica, Blade Runner, and Stand and Deliver.
