I know I'm not supposed to love music. (CHUCKLES) But it's not my fault! It's his! Ernesto de la Cruz. The greatest musician of all time. TOUR GUIDE: Right here in this very plaza, Ernesto de la Cruz took his first steps... toward becoming the most beloved singer in Mexican history. MIGUEL: He started out a total nobody from Santa Cecilia, like me. But when he played music, he made people fall in love with him. - (HORSE NEIGHING) - He starred in movies. He had the coolest guitar! He could fly! And he wrote the best songs. But my all-time favorite, it's... ♪ Remember me ♪ Remember me ♪ Though I have to say goodbye - ♪ Remember me - ♪ Remember me ♪ Don't let it make you cry For even if I'm far away ♪ I hold you in my heart I sing a secret song to you ♪ Each night we are apart Remember me ♪ Though I have to travel far - ♪ Remember me - ♪ Remember me ♪ Each time you hear a sad guitar ♪ Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be ♪ Until you're in my arms again ♪ MIGUEL: He lived the kind of life you dream about.

MIGUEL: Tia Victoria? He doesn't seem entirely dead. - (GRUNTS) - He's not quite alive either. We need Mama Imelda. She'll know how to fix this. Oye! It's Mama Imelda. - She couldn't cross over. - (ALL GASP) - She's stuck! - On the other side! Tio Oscar? Tio Felipe? - Oh. Hey, Miguel. - (BOTH GASP) I have a feeling this has something to do with you. But if Mama Imelda can't come to us... Then we are going to her. Vamonos! (DANTE BARKING)
