Coco (2017)★ 8.6/10

It's a CRYING THROUGHT OUT kind of film, but you can totally watch with the kids. Perfect pic.

I've become much more sensitive to familial affection after having children, so it's hard for me to imagine I’d be a little impatient halfway through the movie before viewing it. The story itself doesn't matter, it's how the story is told that counts. The storytelling technique is extremely textbook and formulaic - it's very easy to understand the intent of a specific character or passage, so it's easy to get ahead of the movie instead of moving along with its pace.

It’s the second time I’ve watched it and I’m still extremely touched; I expected a different experience after watching it, but it's just a repeated experience of being moved by all aspects of the film. What a great cultural export! A country's culture that's perfectly attuned to family, love and dreams. The world of the dead is beautiful beyond words and the colors are just so good! The plot is solid and smooth, from shaping a glorious world to telling a touching tearjerker without being showy. In the end, I’d like to say that how you live determines how you’ll die, and we need to love and be loved while having dreams.

This beautiful Pixar film explores Mexico's cultural and family traditions through music, as well as the spiritual strength when facing the death of our loved ones.

This heartwarming Pixar movie uses music as a means to say the unspeakable. Its greatness made it worthy of an Oscar award for best animated feature.

In this beautiful Disney and Pixar movie, we’ll be delighted with one of the most beautiful stories of the animation genre, set in Latin America and with a deep message of respect and family unity.

Pixar reflects the All Souls’ Day tradition by highlighting family and community values that are so unrelated to the heroes of animated films. Coco is the hero who must face his wishes and their consequences.

Funny and bold, "Coco" deals with the complicated matter that death is, adapting it so that kids can understand it better. It is a movie that emphasizes the value of tradition, family and music.
