Pixar's new tearjerker Coco is beautiful to look at, and from what all my friends of Mexican extraction tell me, very true to the culture. It's all about Miguel, a boy born in a family that hates music for ancestral reasons, who really wants to be a musician (and yet, it's not quite a musical; the song and dance numbers are simply part of the story). When he defies them, he gets into a bit of trouble and finds himself in the spectacular Land of the Dead and of the Many Gags That Can Be Done with Skeletons, where he must get a family member's blessing... but will it cost him a life of music? Coco doesn't pull punches, as it deals with death and loss honestly despite its fantastical trappings - even non-religious audience members will recognize the link between memory and existence - and by the end, if not by the middle, will probably wrench tears out of your eyes. Plus, some very fun Mexican celebrities make appearances on the other side.

This film taught me that predictable plot twists don't matter if the plot is exceptionally executed.

For me personally - the most purifying Pixar movie so far. It gives a whole new direction towards various existential interpretations and retells the most ancient story from the book in a colorful and sensitive way. Nowadays we can rarely find real shades of emotional intelligence in a mainstream production. This movie is full with them.

Exceeded all expectations. Pixar may have had a few missteps in recent years but movies like "Coco" prove they are still top of the game in animation

An absolute delight from start to finish. The humour is great, the visuals are absolutely spectacular and the warmth is real. Another Pixar triumph. Highly recommended for families.

Being mexican, I was worried the representation of Mexican culture would be too stereotypical. Turns out, this movie nails it perfectly. What a stunningly beautiful movie, both artistically and story-wise. This is right up there with the best Pixar movies.
