In Pixar’s Monsters, Inc., Roz is a slug-like monster that is in charge of the CDA, and as such, holds all the keys to the children’s closet doors at Monsters, Inc. Roz is ever the bureaucrat, always grumpy and blasé that someone has not submitted the proper paperwork, although she reveals a softer side when she lets Sulley say his goodbyes to Boo.

In Pixar’s Soul, Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) is a middle school music teacher who has a lifelong dream of being an onstage jazz performer. It looks like he’ll finally get his big break when he impresses other jazz musicians as an opening act when he has an accident, which causes his soul to separate from his body to get transported to the You Seminar, where he must help souls develop passions before being transported to newborns. Joe’s costume is drab and not too flashy, although his stylish hat hints at the passion brimming underneath.

In Pixar’s Coco, Imelda Rivera is the former matriarch of the Rivera family who is now a spirit in the Land of the Dead. She is responsible for the ban on music in her family, which brings her head-to-head with her great-great-grandson Miguel Rivera.

In Disney’s Onward, Barley Lightfoot (Chris Pratt) is a teenage elf who embarks on a journey with his brother Ian to rediscover lost magic in their world, with a mission to spend one more day with their father who passed away when they were young.

In Onward, Ian Lightfoot (voiced by Tom Holland) is a teenage elf who lives in a magical world of mermaids, goblins, and gnomes losing touch with magic as technology takes over. Ian embarks on a quest with his brother Barley Lightfoot to discover the magic needed to spend one day with their departed father.

In Coco, Elena Rivera, endearingly called Abuelita for “Granny” in Spanish, is Miguel Rivera’s grandmother and matriach of the family. Like her grandmother Imelda, she continues enforcing the family’s ban on music, instead working hard as shoemakers. If you break her rules, you’re liable to get a mean slipper swinging your way.
