You know, if Coco in anyway framed it that Miguel's family was 100% right and he was a no good mean mistreater for his reaction, I'd agree with you. But it isn't like that.

It's clearly shown throughout the movie that the family is being irrational. It's pretty clearly highlighted that Miguel's mother and grandmother in particular are being unnecessarily harsh. We're on Miguel's side of that struggle and we're not supposed to think he's being a brat, we're meant to be empathising with him. The whole point of the movie is that the lesson to be learned isn't only Miguel's, it is his family's.

The message may be 'family over everything', but with the addendum of 'as long as your family accepts you for who you truly are'. That's why Miguel gets his cake and eats it: because they all grow.

NAYRT, agree with everything you said.

Also, I'd like to point out that 'family over everything' is a theme that might just be a tad bit culturally weighted. So if it doesn't resonate with certain segments of the audience... well, tough cookie, but it is there for a reason.
