The filmmakers behind Coco, Sunday’s Oscar winner for animated feature film, criticized Donald Trump in backstage comments without ever naming the president.

“We started making Coco six years ago. It was a very different political climate than we find ourselves in now. While we were making the film, we had a change of presidency and a lot of things started to be said about Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. That was unacceptable,” he said, clearly referencing candidate Trump’s comments, including one about Mexican immigrants being drug dealers and rapists.
