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.

Death has never before been so alive. Oscar-winner Lee Unkrich and Seattle Film Critics Award-winner Adrian Molina seem to be consolidated as the kings of the present-day animation because, through the "hypothetical" inequality of yearsDeath has never before been so alive. Oscar-winner Lee Unkrich and Seattle Film Critics Award-winner Adrian Molina seem to be consolidated as the kings of the present-day animation because, through the "hypothetical" inequality of years working in the field, they have achieved, in a magnificent way, to synthesize the characteristics with greater sensitivity and affinity from their previous works to use them in a plausible co-direction that allows the film to be what it is. Likewise, it was an outstanding job what they did with the general draft or/and the original story that plays a vital role for the success of the idea, in which it's possible to catch respectful and fresh reference parallelisms to certain functional aspects present in prior flicks such as the independence representation from "Finding Nemo", the overcoming of a specific problem in a gracefully dynamic way from "Monsters, Inc", and, of course, the most perceptible, an emotional and severe final message coming together harsh reality from "Toy Story 3." Additional to the aforementioned two directors-screenwriters, names of the caliber of Jason Katz and Matthew Aldrich stand out in the writing for their prestige and recognition in the company, leaving, as a result, an Aldrich-Molina explosive mix that provokes the correct working of the powerhouse script. In the case of this animated feature film, death, an openly polarizing subject at present, has got a subtle, clever treatment in order to capture, in a fantastic way, the truth hiding the loss of a loved one, using accessible analogies which stir up a proactive unique masterclass in core plot idea development. About this, the whole film moves with a comfortable margin among corny drama and circumstantial comical situations that achieve, within all that unreal and hopeful context, reflect difficult and pure reality, leaning, with respect, in the ideal Mexican holiday that fits perfectly with the leitmotiv. It's clear that what makes easier the excellent final cut is the charisma and the particular essence of the story and its characters, they are pawns serving as a bridge between message and audience.

Creatively, the film uses its tools in a way that exhibits the meticulous quality showed in the Pixar works. It follows the patterns of introduction and development evidenced in previous works, and although the most assiduous film buffs can feel repetitive this prototype, it's always estimable the effort to dodge the traditional through stories that transcend narrative barriers, unequivocally, through emotional scripts. While the first two acts are a complete enjoyment, the highlight is reserved for the final part because "Coco" has the luxury of having the second more emotionally disturbing and sentimentally dramatic climax in an animated film of the 21st century, only behind, no doubt, "Toy Story 3". It's overwhelming the set of emotions that an audiovisual extremely glorious moment can convey audience, one that has been fire engraved in the annals of cinema, one that will ensure the presence of hankies.

The visual section is a whole other story. After a beautiful graphic simplicity coming from "Cars 3", the studio goes back roots and decides to bet on sharply-meticulous landscapes again, using as tools bright colors, colorful textures and confections that are going to leave you open-mouthed, maybe, that's why many film attendees come to the theaters with each new release, they're aware of the dimensions of tidiness and the labor demands that the company portrays through its continuous masterpieces. In the same way, the sound aspect excels in counted periods, however, in which it succeeds, it does it in an unbeatable way. Although it does not reach near-perfect scores as Lin-Manuel Miranda's melodies for "Moana" or Randy Newman's for "Toy Story", the film extracts what can most of these in the drama set-pieces, undoubtedly highlighting "Remember Me" by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, which climatizes the most powerful emotional moment in the movie. "Coco" by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina condenses a wide range of American cinema's strangeness and traditional elements, delivering the animated audiovisual work of the year par excellence. This enjoyable and deeply touching Magnum opus has reserved a gold place in the most prestigious movie awards, however, beyond critic acclaims or awards, its creators must feel fully fortunate that their film has gained a little piece of memory and love in the heads and hearts of millions and millions of people, perhaps, just like I did. We can breathe a sigh of relief, Disney pics keep to signify learning pillars for the growth of many people.… Expand

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

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 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

As with every recent Pixar film it has a huge heart. This time around the importance of family is the primary theme and it explores this through a premise that is rarely explored in film: life beyond death.

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.

It immediately became my favorite Pixar movie, and not only that. It's impressive how it treats topics like life, death, life after death, love, the power of love and music, love beyond death, family, fortitude, selfishness, altruism, freedom, passions, pain, mistakes, forgiveness, disease, memory, respect, the passing time, destiny, revival, comprehension in its total, compassion, loss, defeat, redraft, revenge, wickedness, greed, murder, cheating, deception, pride, falsehood, disability, sacrifice, dreams, desires, wishes, hopes, success, to know how to look beyond appearances, joy, happiness, friendship, music, etc! All these important themes (and to which I'm particularly attached) are treated with a stunning depth, emotionality and empathy (which I love to see in a movie, being a very sensitive, emotional and profound person), it's a really sweet and moving movie... it's full of touching moments (I don't know how much I cried, really, especially towards the end, but not only), but also funny, It's dark (and I love it's so dark), has wonderful morals, has wonderful characters, a fantastic music, crazy graphics, the colors are explosive and more, is truly faithful to the Mexican culture of the Day of the Dead... this movie has everything a movie should have! It immediately became my favorite movie of all time (and I'm passionate about animated movies and filmmaking in general), and I've never had a favorite movie ever, but many were on par... "Coco" has just overwhelmed me, he entered in my soul and I feel it will always be my heart movie... I hope he win more than an Oscar, because for me it deserves everything and more!!! I really recommend it to everyone, of whatever culture you are, to young and old, because this movie brings universal messages with it! Thanks so much Pixar for this wonderful gift you made us, and that you made me!!! Thank you for giving me strong emotions!

Regardless, I saw it anyway; I’ve beenAfter watching the trailers for Coco, I wasn’t sold. I didn’t laugh at any of the jokes, nor did I find any of the characters endearing enough to justify dedicating almost two hours of my life to. Regardless, I saw it anyway; I’ve been attempting to see films I thought I won’t enjoy recently, but yet again, I’ve been surprised.

I will quickly say that I don’t think Coco is a masterpiece. I’m not entirely convinced it’s even ‘great’. I still enjoyed it, however, and that’s good enough for me.

The main talking point for the film seems to be the visuals, and for the most part, I can understand why. It’s certainly a very pretty film. You can see how much time and care went into each frame, and I can’t even comprehend being one of the animators on a project like this. With this said, however, I don’t feel I witnessed anything revolutionary in terms of animation. While my memory might be wrong, I believe this film to be on a similar level to Moana. That’s definitely not a negative; Moana’s probably my favourite animated film in recent memory, primarily due to it’s animation.

The brilliant visuals do bring a flaw, however. With all of the wondrous colours assaulting your vision, it comes full circle, and ceases to be impressive after a while. There is simply too much colour for me to enjoy the film as a whole. I’ll use a scene from Rogue One as an example. Regardless of your thoughts on the film, one of the final scenes featuring a certain Sith Lord was generally considered to be brilliant, at least amongst fans. The absence of colour, followed by the jarringly bright crimson adds to the scene, and doesn’t simply exist to be pretty to look at. Sometimes, less is more.

The soundtrack was rather mixed, too. Parts were very fitting, and added to the scene. Other parts, however, sounded like generic Disney filler that could have been pasted into any other film and work just as well.

Since the film features music, primarily guitars, rather prominently, I also found myself confused at moments; I heard somebody playing the guitar, but the character actually holding it wasn’t doing anything. It took me a few moments to realise it was actually the scoring.

Additionally, while this movie is obviously aimed for the family, I found many of the plot-points rather obvious. It intentionally makes it’s plot unnecessarily complicated in an attempt to fool you, but if you understand basic storytelling tropes, you’ll pick up on the plot rather promptly, even if the film changes specific elements just to surprise a few people. The film feels as though it’s trying to be surprising, and sad, and funny, rather than letting it’s scenes speak for themselves. Much of it feels forced, at least to me.

Many of the characters also weren’t particularly likeable. The main character, Miguel, comes across as a legitimately bad person many times in this film, and everyone else doesn’t fare much better. Obviously, the villain is cruel, but also those who we’re supposed to like are selfish and unpleasant. I thought that at the end perhaps they’d apologise and acknowledge their wrongdoings, but it never happens. Only Miguel has to change himself in this film, and he still gets everything he wants in the end anyway.

Overall, this film actually struggles to excel in specific areas. It’s very serviceable, with bits dipping below average, and others rising above. Thankfully, the pros manage to outweigh the cons, making Coco an enjoyable film, regardless of how simple it’s message is. I’ll give it a shaky 7/10, though if you enjoy all other Disney films, or the general aesthetic of the movie, you’ll most likely love this one.… Expand

It drew me into this world like no movie has in years. Every time the characters experienced an event or felt an emotion, I experienced and felt it with them. I can't recall the last time I felt such joy walking out of a theater, but Coco plastered a stupid smile on my face for the longest time after I finished it. 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

And please STOP with the 'New Year,New Me' thing,ok?!?
Onto the review.
After coming out from 'Coco' refreshed me in many ways,mostly because not only is it the best animated movie of 2017,but also because I was satisfied in seeing a truly good movie after a lineup of decent or 'Garbage' movies (only this Fall,not 2017 as a whole).
With this movie being a Pixar production,it should be a cliche saying that the animation is getting close to photorealistic. Not only the water,but also the cobblestone felt real,and this time,the charachters didn't feel out of place thanks to Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3) and Adrian Molina's immaculate way of directing. Adrian Molina takes most of the movie's credit in terms of writing,direction and also music (while Michael Giacchino's score makes the Mexican culture feel accurate,more than John Powell's Ferdinand),and,honestly,nothing felt misdirected. The theme of this movie "Remember Me" isn't played infinite times like if it wants to be an Oscar Contender,the screen play doesn't have any 'nonsensical' or 'misguided' lines or scenes and some of the soundtrack's secondary choices like ''Un Poco Loco'' and ''The World Es Mi Familia'' can be catchy at some point. Even the cast doesn't feel like they are there for a paycheck,and yes (a thousand times yes),I can feel a great future for Anthony Gonzalez's glorious voice. Now let's not go full fanboy,because,sure,this movie is flawless,but it's not as flawless as,say,Wall-E or Toy Story 2,but it is still some true Pixar stuff (especially after the impressive Cars 3),and it is (indeed) better than some other Pixar movies like the Cars Franchise or A Bug's Life.
Summing it up,Coco is beautiful. The story feels like a lesson about Mexican culture while being an Animated flick,the voicecast is gorgeous and the animation makes it the 2nd best movie of 2017 in terms of "Artistic Imagery".… Expand

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.

When Miguel, a 12 year old Spanish boy wants to follow his hearts' dream of becoming a musician, things turn for the worst as he finds himself trapped between his family with an apathy towards music and egocentric, sleazy characters in theWhen Miguel, a 12 year old Spanish boy wants to follow his hearts' dream of becoming a musician, things turn for the worst as he finds himself trapped between his family with an apathy towards music and egocentric, sleazy characters in the afterlife. 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

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

The chaotic story, lack of fun characters and extensive complications can't override the appeal of the beautiful visuals.

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

Coco is another great film by Pixar studio. 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. **LightCoco is another great film by Pixar studio. 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. The attention to detail is amazing, and they even went as far as to capture the hand motions of actual musicians to add to the authenticity. Coco is a great film for both kids and adults… Expand

It is a good popcorn cartoon, nothing special. But Disney, The Book of Life was out just 3 years ago. Why plagiarise it so soon? Give us something original please. I'll be very sad if something unoriginal like this wins an Oscar.

It's rare that you watch an animated movie with a story that's as effective on children as it is on adults - something that Pixar's proved it can do time and time again, albeit - but when you mix in some of the thematics mentioned above, it's that much more impressive. Hats off to co-directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina for crafting such a powerful treat.… Expand

I mean, REALLY gut wrenching funny like the "Toy Story" films or "Monster's Inc."? I miss those days. This film has a few chuckles and a lot of impressive, beautiful animation, but like most recent Pixar offerings it relies more on tugging your heart strings than making you laugh. 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

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. And I’m really glad that I did. Besides going this road we could never see Mulan, Moana and many more great animations...… Expand

It's also great to see Mexican culture be represented with care and affection by a Hollywood studio. A great film to watch on your Thanksgiving break. 8.5/10

The animation is stunning. I love that, since Frozen, Disney realised that love isn't only between a man and a woman but also, among family. It can become restless at times even for adults but overall it has a good story. Go watch it.
