It comes out exactly 22 years after the release of the studio's very first film, "Toy Story". Pixar reinvented the animation genre by using computer animation to tell smart, family friendly, beautiful and creative stories. Even though the studio has seen a drop in quality as of late, "Coco" is definitely a return to form.

It tells the story of Miguel Rivera, a young musician who lives in the village of Santa Cecilia in Mexico. His family has banned music though, so he is struggling to make his dreams come true. But everything will change once he transports to the Land of the Dead and tries to find his icon, Ernesto de la Cruz.

"Coco" faithfully presents the Mexican culture and people, making you not just want to visit the country, but want to live there. But not to the expense of the story. It's smart, beautifully told, filled with strong and complex characters, incredible music and a message that's powerful and though-provoking. "Coco" is a must see for families and fans of animation. It's a masterpiece and meets the high bar set by the studio's earlier works.… Expand

Miguel longs to be a musician but with his family's strict ban on all things music he is forbidden to even hold a guitar. On the night of Día de Muertos Miguel enters the Land of the Dead to find his great great grandfather, the legendary singer Ernesto del la Cruz. As with most Pixar movies you're hit with comedy and sadness all at the same time, and Coco doesn't hold back. It's funny, emotional and thoroughly enjoyable. The music is beautiful, the array of colours in the land of the dead is mesmerizing. The attention to detail surrounding this beautiful story is worth the ticket price alone. It really is true that the best kids movies are ones adults can enjoy too and you will fall in love with this movie. Pixar has always been better with original ideas as opposed to sequels just for the sake of it so if you enjoy a good animation Coco is not to be missed. Highly recommended, it's stunning.… Expand

It is truly a piece of masterful animation that rivals Pixar's best. For those who are still skeptical of this movie, I say give it a shot. It is one of the greatest animated movie's I've ever seen, this coming from an avid fan of animation of every form. Despite the trailers, it's not a rip off of the Book of Life and instead takes many unexpected twists and turns. Coco has climbed quickly established itself as one of my favorite animated movies, if not one of my favorite movies of all time. Definitely a 10/10… Expand

1. The animation is*NOTE: I would highly encourage that parents/guardians consider the age and maturity of their children before attending. Coco deals with themes of death and depicts characters dying. Kids 7+ should generally be fine.
1. The animation is beyond what Pixar has been achieving recently. For some reason, they seemed to really not want to settle for anything less than perfect with Coco. Unlike Disney's older, earlier use of CGI where they'd achieve a large background or hundreds of characters in the distance by cloning the same character over and over like the armies in Mulan, Disney had 2D artists meticulously detail every single building in the background. It was similar to Hayao Miyazaki's use of highly detailed background mixed with simple characters in the foreground.
2. I think I'd give it a 7 actually, I think the plot had a bit of fat that could have been trimmed and as another reviewer mentioned, it lacks the classic constantly near-perfect Pixar humor, but I'm bumping up the rating slightly because some reviews are giving it a zero because using a handful of Spanish words and referencing South American and Spanish culture is now an "SJW liberal agenda." The film is just a cute Day of the Dead story.
3. The character design is really good. They use shape language and costume really well, successfully designing characters that look exactly like their personalities.
4. I had that feeling of being slightly ahead of the plot but that's alright in a children's film, it wasn't entirely predictable or boring.
5. I wouldn't personally call the film a musical. There are characters who perform music and sing, but only in realistic ways. The songs are pretty enjoyable. I feel like it could have used an extra lighthearted or pick-me-up song because the central song of the story, Remember Me, was a little sad although also the best song in the film.
6. Coco's message is one we've seen a lot from Disney and Pixar. Despite it not being a very original moral, they managed to present it in a pretty original way.
7. The best thing I can say is that I went into this film with no knowledge of it. Having been burned a lot by a couple bad titles recently, I was expecting nothing good. It blindsided me by being memorable and surprisingly heartfelt.… Expand

With "Coco," they've once again created something truly special. Beyond the beautiful, heart-wrenching storytelling, the lovable, well-written and hilarious characters, the absolutely breathtaking animation, and the wonderful songs, "Coco" succeeds for its incredibly respectful and wondrous portrayal of Mexican culture, and the way it handles the themes of family, life and death, and how these themes are interwoven so perfectly so as to create an adventure that is as entertaining as it is emotional.

This film was filled with a lot of charm and love with every bit of detail they would add in the animation and even the music, so much of this film kept me with a big smile and never looking away. The only issue I have that keeps it from being a perfect film is the story, I was able to predict most of the twist and part of the ending, it does do some of the typical Disney tropes where the boy tries leave the family to pursue his dreams that the family forbids him to do, but it doesn't ruin the film, because It works in the film's favor, it helps give it even more charm that it already has. In short, Coco is a fantastic film with so much to love about it and even if the story can be predictable with the some of the typical Disney plot, it doesn't take away from the film, but it gives it more to love about it. I highly recommend this film to everyone and I think it's up there with the great Pixar films and deserve all the praise it's getting.… Expand

Yeah, it looks pretty, there's some heart, and admittedly the ending was brilliant, but in between those are very bland jokes that I never found funny, modern Disney cliches like the plot twist villain, and a dog named Dante who's probably one of the most annoying animal side characters I've ever seen.

Very mixed feelings for me.… Expand

Coco is definitely a family film to check out. Pixar did everything they've always done and put it into this movie. Emotional moments, incredible animation, great setting, fantastic plot, and the musical scores are at their best here.

The problem is that Miguel's great-great-grandfather abandoned his wife and daughter for the musician's career, and since then in the Rivera's house any melody is banned. There comes the Mexican Day of the Dead, and Miguel secretly goes to the city square to participate in the talent contest, but he does not have a guitar. He decides to "borrow" the instrument in the crypt of his idol - Ernesto de la Cruz - but, touching guitar, Miguel falls into the world of the dead. And if he does not get out of there until the morning, he will forever remain a skeleton.
Pixar is surprising again. This time - the ability to tell a very grown-up story by kids' language. As in the Oscar-winning "Inside Out", here we go on a journey, where the ultimate goal is homecoming, back to the family. Add to this juicy Mexican melodies, brilliant animation, and Pixar's sense of humor and you will get an unforgettable cocktail of all possible emotions. It is clear that the "Oscar" is already in their pocket.… Expand

Don’t listen to reviews claiming that Disney / Pixar should not touch other cultures, because it is an absurd claim. I’m quite aware Mexicans are perfectly capable making own movies, but who - apart from Mexicans - is watching them? I’m sure I’m not, as millions of people that will watch Coco.

I enjoyed the movie but it certainly isn't a Pixar classic like "Finding Nemo" (their last masterpiece). I feel it is probably their finest film since "The Good Dinosaur", a very underrated Pixar film. Like most Pixar films there is a short film before the main event. It was probably the longest "short" ever, more like a mini-movie. It involved Olaf the snowman and Christmas and was enjoyable, although lengthy.… Expand

Although Coco's has a certain fallacy because the family of the main character, is a Mexican family rooted in the rural spectrum and these people celebrate music, the fact that Miguel's passion is forbidden it certainly does not seem entirely believable, but at least the background is believable and functional.

Evidently Coco plays with the idea of ​​any children's movie where children seem to know more than adults and adults do not react well to that, after his grandmother smashes his guitar, Miguel's true odyssey begins and Coco's magic appears .

The visual aspect - not the animation - is frankly rich and any Mexican or Latino living in the US will find it familiar, all the inconography and folklore are present and they are the most striking strength of this film.

That it does not feel original? No, undoubtedly it does not, but the difference lies in the more entrenched quality that Pixar imposes on the film, its message is not new either and although it's fair to believe that Pixar took something already seen and improved it's also fair to give this film the chance and appreciate it for the quality it contains, not for what it did better than those who came before and at that point, like it or not, Coco is better.

Maybe I am softer than I usually am but frankly Coco is what I expected, I did not want surprises or something lavish, I wanted quality, I wanted a beautiful animation and I wanted a good story and in my opinion Coco has all that.

*** By the way when the movie gets released, if you're not very interested In Frozen, skip the first half hour, Disney included the long and boring short of ''Olaf's Frozen Adventure'' and that was a very annoying experience. Ironically, the rest of the audiences here in Mexico also hated it so much that it was removed. I don't think that's going to happen in the US so that's why I'm preventing you.… Expand

On one side it is just an entertaining family movie about a boy and his passion for music, but like most Pixar films has more serious messages slipped into the narrative. **Light spoilers** This time around the studio touches on themes of family, the loss of loved ones, and a more subtle reference to Alzheimer’s/Dementia. **End of spoilers** The only Con to the film for me is that the final act felt a little rushed; this did not impact my overall enjoyment factor. If you are a fan of any of the studios other works I highly recommend this film.

On a quest to find his Grandfather he discovers a world never imagined.

What a fantastic film, rich of intrigues, emotion and mesmerizing scenes.

The warmth and Spanish undertone of the film, evoke your own family bonds, while fond memories and love for one’s Grandmother stirs your heart.

I lost myself in the movie to such an extent that I forgot I was watching an animated production.

Coco is not a musical, but there is a hint of music in the film, which builds on top of the superb storyline. The screenwriter manages to create a suspense in which one can’t wait for Miguel to play his next riff on his strum.

The film is heartwarming. It manages to show us a different side to the afterlife, a side which we never imagined, where the dead interacts with the living and skeletons are beautiful, emotional and lovable characters.

Miguel strikes a friendship with a trickster named Hector and together they discover the story about Miguel’s family, which eventually leads to making his dream become reality.

The animated 3D adventure encourages oneself to follow your dreams at all cost, but most importantly to put your loved ones first.

The movie has been produced by Disney and taken Gross Income of $457,925,760 from it’s opening on the 22nd of November until 22nd of December 2017.

Coco is a wonderful film for the whole family and a must see for everyone who loves music, beautiful scenes and awesome characters!… Expand

I went with some friends to a night time showing and I think it's safe to say we all enjoyed the film. Scoring this movie was really hard for me because if we were to look at letter grades, it definitely would be somewhere in the B-range for me but where? An 80% seemed too low but something closer to 90% seemed too high. I think it would be hard to counter that the illuminating scenery was anything less than magnificent. I don't think a scene went by where I was not in awe of the pure beauty of the movie from the spirit guides to the bridge; I think the best word to describe it would be "enticing!" Even the opening which was not lit up was gorgeous and was reminiscent of Hercules or Beauty and the Beast. The music was also stellar and I felt hypnotized by the guitar. I had extremely high expectations because Lee Unkrich is credited as the sole director of TS3, which I think is a perfect film, but I don't exactly think Coco was. I feel like there was a lot less humor in this film as compared to most Disney or Pixar films and that the jokes just didn't hit quite as much as they could. It was also a bit predictable plot wise which being a family film is forgivable but doesn't add to the score? I will say I feel like my experience watching this film was very similar to my experience watching ET. I didn't think I was that connected until the end when the drama hit and I started choking up, and for clarification sake , I've never cried in a movie, so choking up is about as far as I get. Overall, this won't crack my top five movies of 2017 but I'm willing to say it will hit my top ten. I definitely think you should go see it but I don't think it is the best Pixar film we've ever had. * And then the little foot note that is Olaf's Frozen Adventure. I didn't like the Frozen short before Cinderella, and I think this was better but oof. There was exactly one joke, where Olaf is being a savage, that I just started balling out laughing and is probably the only time I purely laughed while I was at the movie. But, other than that, it was tedious. Yes, I'm probably being too harsh on it but the movie ticket said 7:45, OFA started at 8:00, and that's a 20 minute short of all these discombobulated D-rate songs. I love Frozen, I saw it seven times in theatres, but goodness, I think I'm done with Frozen. Of course, I'm sure temptation will win over when Frozen 2 comes out in 2019...… Expand

Probably the most personally touching Pixar movie for me, being a musician and having a deeply strong passion for guitar, I found COCO to be one of the most memorable PIXAR films of recent memory, that I found actually deeply interesting due to the setting and the characters, and how the flick deals particularly with Mexican culture. Just a really pleasant flick overall. In terms of criticisms, It's not necessarily the most original of narratives, and is actually sort of very predictable in terms of where the narrative is going and what happens. Otherwise, I loved it. Id happy go see it again, and an enjoyable, heart wrenching gift for the whole family to enjoy.… Expand

It's a movie that's way better than Cars 3. Although i don't think is one of Pixar's best movies, is one of the best ideas in represeting better "El día de los muertos" than in The Book of Life. So yeah, It's good. Not the best, but good

Compared to Pixar's previous original installment, Inside Out, this one's attempt to win best film of the year is extremely slim due to its huge difficulty attempting to keep up the hype from the get-go. While Inside Out may seem to be onCompared to Pixar's previous original installment, Inside Out, this one's attempt to win best film of the year is extremely slim due to its huge difficulty attempting to keep up the hype from the get-go. While Inside Out may seem to be on something to win best film of the year and it literally worked, Coco, on the other hand, may seem to follow the same tracks that Inside Out went but it just can't find itself to win best film of the year. Although it won't win best film of the year in my opinion, Coco is definitely a solid film that definitely proves that Pixar is still the king of animation movies since the release of their first feature film, Toy Story, and no other animation studio can overtake the throne. If you can still find a way to ask them to see this movie, please do so right away because Coco is definitely worth watching since it's Pixar after all.… Expand

Very pretty to look at and creative in terms of the animation but offers an extremely formulaic and predictable narrative. Twangs on the heart strings relentlessly and you end up leaving the cinema more depressed than when you entered.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Humans are weak for their emotions". I can't agree more with that statement after watching the movie. If the movie ever moved you, then congratulations -- you have lost your rationality. Don't let emotional outbursts override your rational thinking.

Now, calm down and reevaluate the whole movie. The core conflict is presented by the first scene: Music vs. Family. But have you ever realized that these two isn't a conflict at all. You CAN enjoy music while having a loving family.

However the director chose to show us a stubborn mother. Music is BANNED forever only for a family member left forever -- she don't have to, since that will be a irrational choice. Let's return to reality: Will you ban cooking forever if a family member got badly hurt and died while preparing dinner?

Also what REALLY disappointed me is the final wrap-up song "Proud Corazón". This sentence is repeated twice: "Our love for each other will live on forever". So: the director believes that the message of this movie is to promote family union? Well, that is WRONG! I think it's about compromising and accepting.

why? That's because the family never ripped apart in the first place. Hector is already planning his return to his family and let's use our imagination: if Hector returned to the family, will music still be banned? Obviously, not.

The reason why most audiences think a happy ending would be appropriate is that since the "Remember Me" music made Coco remembered Hector, music is accepted by his family and Miguel received his freedom to play music, which, have no connections at all with family reunion.

However, these flaws won't stop the musics included in this movie to be enjoyable. But since a movie has its mission to let its audience learn something from, too musical will be inappropriate.

I don't think this movie will be Oscar worthy. But it should be good for an age group of 5~7.… Expand

To be honest, I personally did not like Coco, please don't dislike this, it's just my opinion.

I’ve seen every Pixar film ever (bar cars 3) and this one was by far the worst. I hated Coco. My expectations weren’t even superbly high. It wasn’t funny, the characters weren’t especially strong, the songs weren’t that good and the number that won an Oscar for best original song (Remember Me) was the absoulete worst. I really try in these reviews to be as positive as i can but the only parts of this film i did like were the dog and the absouletely stunning animation.… Expand

Beautiful to look at, well crafted in every way. Very entertaining. But WHY is Pixar choosing to spend so much time and effort in this lesson on pagan religion?

How do you feel after a relative passes on? Sad? Afraid? Regretful? Doubtful? Relieved? Maybe you’ll remember your exact emotions after seeing Pixar’s newest celebration of family.

A young Mexican boy named Miguel lives with his mamá LuisaHow do you feel after a relative passes on? Sad? Afraid? Regretful? Doubtful? Relieved? Maybe you’ll remember your exact emotions after seeing Pixar’s newest celebration of family.

A young Mexican boy named Miguel lives with his mamá Luisa and papá Enrique, his little sister Socorro, his aunts Carmen and Gloria, his uncle Berto, his cousins Abel, Rosa, Benny and Manny, his grandparents Franco and Abuelita, and his great grandmother, Coco, together, they’re the Rivera family. The ancestors remain dear to the Riveras’ memories—well, except the father of Mamá Coco who left his family to pursue music. Today, all the Riveras, Grandma Abuelita in particular, took it to discipline anyone for touching an instrument.

On the other side, a dense city houses Mexico’s deceased souls alongside numerous other colorful spirit animals. When one of the inhabitants’ photographs is set out by the live family members in the local cemetery on Día de los Muertos, a gate designed to resemble an immigration system gives them the okay to cross the amber leaf bridge to see their loved ones. Miguel knew them for years only through stories and photographs, and now he finally meets them in person after stealing a famous musician’s guitar leaves him cursed. Miguel’s ancestors include great-great grandmother Imelda, Mamá Coco’s mother, the short Papá Julio, the plump Rosita, the horn-eyed Victoria, and the twins Felipe and Óscar; he must receive one of their blessings before sunrise, or else he will be stuck there forever.

But Miguel thinks he found another way home through his musical idol, Ernesto De La Cruz, his great-great uncle from the story! He even has a way to find De La Cruz: Héctor, a silly little man desperate to see his family again since they never once set out his photo. Then once a Shyamalan twist reveals why he wants to see his family again so bad, the true heartache comes full circle.

This production proves Pixar’s continually committed research, including the steps outlined in the Día de los Muertos ceremony. Especially amongst the world of the incarnate, beautiful leaves create relaxed candlelight glows, like the long celebrated fun creativity shined by the immortal hopping lamp! I’m sure it keeps accurate to Mexico’s family values, since audiences in Mexico were supposedly thrilled at the premiere, taking in $28 million since its October 27th release! The same level of effort goes to the voice actors: Anthony Gonzalez gives a true, soulful performance for Miguel, his musical voice as pure as child actors come, and the right cast surrounds him with further compassionate voices, whether dead or alive.

Yet once Miguel enters the afterlife, coincidences lead him to wherever the narrative takes him. Similar to what the revolutionary animation studio continues failing at, the details of the world prioritize comedy over realism. For instance, the undead skeletons drink liquor, but at the same time, say they need no bathrooms. Some other elements appear to contradict the hard research, such as English being the primary language spoken in a Mexican location. Pixar long succeeded in its widely-loved shorts without dialogue, so couldn’t they expand that format to a feature length? I mean, imagine if Coco was entirely in Spanish, except speech kept to a minimum? I think it would have made the experience a lot more authentic.

Looking deeper into the script’s issues, the title character, Mamá Coco, gets too little screen time to serve her plot importance justice; she just sits in her wheelchair, eyes half open, less prominent than her highest potential. The writers should have implemented the family theme further by giving each boy and girl (and dog) in the Rivera family a purpose.

In full honesty, the script’s issues stem from the protagonist, Miguel; he starts off whiny and selfish, in turn making his growth throughout less earned than its capacity. In fact, quite a few offensive moments seem tossed in for humor’s sake, specifically a brief unnecessary scene where Miguel notices a nude portrait model (a skeleton). The depiction of Mexico’s afterlife as truth rather than myth may also concern some more religious viewers. And finally, the gate used to allow Mexicans to pass through on Día de los Muertos almost parallels Trump’s future vision of his wall, which could offend some more conservative viewers.

Although Coco can overall still please anyone looking for a good holiday treat. These months are not always a happy time, considering the number of deaths around this time, so this special celebration of both life and death just might satisfy our hurt.… Expand
