Sensational! 'Coco' is straight into my top five of Disney animations.
The whole 105 minutes are a joy to watch, thanks to its rich and highly meaningful story alongside the wonderful animation and sharp humour. Safe to say, I was not expecting this film to smash it out the park - which it totally does. This is why I don't, personally, look up about films before watching them, I love being surprised.
Big credit also goes to the cast, who play some awesome characters. From Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) to Héctor (Gael García Bernal) to Ernesto (Benjamin Bratt), among others, they are all very, very good.
It isn't just the characters that make this memorable, it is also the excellent plot which is told beautifully. It's filled with not just comedy but also a load of heart - there's a few nicely done twists too. The world that they create around the Day of the Dead is fantastic, while the music fits perfectly.
If you haven't already, you must watch this! It's brilliant!
I had to knock a point off because be warned.... There is a horrifying moment when a guitar is smashed to bits. Thankfully as it's an animation film it wasn't a real guitar but it is still quite distressing.
Other than that, it is a brilliant film that demonstrates how important music is. A wonderful message. Quite funny in places too.
This movie actually made me cry. Adorable.
After seeing several people on SM recommend that it be seen in Spanish if possible, I waited until I could find a theater nearby that was showing it. I am estatic that I saw it in Spanish. It was an amazing treat to see it in the language that the characters would have spoken. The spanish language voice actors are all Mexican, giving the film it's final seal of authenticity that the english language is missing (though this is not a negative critique of the english language cast, but rather an extra treat of the spanish language version).
The film is a heartfelt tribute to the tradition of The Day of the Dead, part of the cultural heritage of Mexico and it's indigenous roots. The film shows the time and care the producers, writers and director took in staying true to and understanding this celebration as observed in Mexico, from the offerings to the dead, the significance of the vibrant marigolds, and the love and gathering with our ancestors and family.
Yes, Coco follows the tradition of all Pixar movies, with a focus on love, family and friendship. The difference this time is that it places Mexico, its culture and its people, at the center of the story.
This is such an amazing movie! Everything perfect: the story is amazing and according to my Mexican friends quite accurate (about the cultural and traditional aspects), the animations are incredible (you can see every little detail and feel like you're actually in the movie – not because of the 3D version but of the sharpness and realism of the physics and everything), you have a lot to laugh about and a lot to cry about. This is just incredible. I loved how you are drawn into the movie with all the Spanish they're talking – doesn't need subtitles. Just loved it!
Dante is such a good boy
Had something in my eye one half of the movie and someone started cutting onions on the other half.
Beatiful chant to the greatness of family and remembrance and respect of the elder people.
If you forget them, in your heart and your memory, they will die.
Very convenient for a cineforum.
"Grandma says death doesn't exist, and we die when the others forget us."
[7.4/10] There is a certain Pixar magic. Towards the end of the film, once the crazy adventures are mostly adventured, and the major antagonist has been subdued, those manipulative show-offs reach out and tug on your heartstrings like a hungover twenty-something pulling down the shades. I am, however cold and cynical my heart may be, no where near immune to their charms.
So when Miguel sings his great great grandfather’s song to the person it was written for, and she wakes from her forgetful stupor to sing along, and brings out both the letters that tell his story to the world and the torn photo that’ll save his life (er, afterlife), it hit me hook line and sinker. Coco earns that moment. It earns that sentiment. And the afterglow of a family reunited, of feuds resolved and wounds mended, of music being a bridge to remembering one's ancestors rather than a wall between them, it’s easy to get swept up in that emotional swell and call the whole thing great.
But Coco wanders and stumbles to get to that point. It doesn't make that ending any less boffo, any less emotionally piercing, and yet it doesn't wipe away the standard wild and wacky adventure and trite theme the film uses to build to that point. If it leads to that extraordinary finish, it can’t be all bad, but it can’t help but leave you wondering why the rest of the movie can’t match that standard. It’s a pretty good movie with a pretty great ending.
Still, pretty good is pretty good! The film tells the story of a young boy named Miguel who loves music, to the chagrin of his tune-hating, shoe-making family. After a Footloose-esque tiff, he crosses over to the land of the dead during Dia de los Muertos, and after meeting his bony ancestors there, has to figure out how to resolve his musical passion and the importance of family.
That’s a hell of a presence! The best thing about Coco is its world. Very quickly, the film establishes what its rules are: when the ancestors can cross over into the world of the living, why you can stay in the afterlife vs. facing “the last death”, how the family blessing rules work to send Miguel back to the real world. All of these little strictures and regulations make for an interesting set of obstacles for our hero to have to leap over, and to build a story about family and memory around.
More than those magical laws, the land of the dead is just a cool little ecosystem. However predictable the story beats might be, you can always count on Pixar to wow you in the visuals department, and Coco doesn't skimp on that front. The glowing, multicolored world that the dead occupy is a feast for the eyes, with distinctive shapes, movements, and style. From the skeletal residents to the mural-skinned spirit animals to the bridge between worlds, it’s a joy to spend time in the afterlife.
The catch is that the story set there is no great shakes. The film hammers home the point that Miguel wants to be a great musician and that his family doesn't approve of it over and over and over again. There’s a lot to be said for having a main character with a clear, driving motivation, but Coco underscores the conflict so often that eventually it becomes rote. Everything hinges on that one drive, which makes for a good Aesop’s fable about the importance of making room for other things, but not necessarily a great overall story.
There’s also a fairly predictable reveal at the center of the narrative where, as in Up, the young boy’s idol turns out to be a selfish jerk who turns murderous and inadvertently teaches the protagonist to appreciate his familial connections over his grandiose aims. Once you figure out that Hector must be Miguel’s long lost great grandson, not De La Cruz, the movie’s vagary and convenience whenever anyone’s discussing the topic starts to feel corny and contrived. There’s a laudable lesson of learning that your heroes are flawed and there’s more to life than your individual passion at the core, but turning that whole thing into a secret murder story weakens the lesson, and puts a standard good guy/bad guy dynamic at the forefront rather than the maturation of Miguel or Hector.
Still, this is Pixar, so the script is fundamentally sound. Even if the twists seem overly telegraphed and the relationships destined to be mended, every setup has a payoff and vice versa. We learn of Miguel’s love for the linchpin song of the film, “Remember Me” in the film’s early going. We learn a little more than halfway through that, in actuality, Hector wrote it for his daughter. And in the end, we see Miguel playing the song to his abuelita Coco to remind her of her father, in the film’s best and most affecting scene. Whether it succeeds on every score, the entire movie is built like that, with minor details and important precursors established in time for them to come back in a big way down the line.
Along the way, there’s also the trademark Pixar whimsy that makes the proceedings more enjoyable even where the narrative becomes a bit trying. Dante the dog is an animator’s delight, all floppiness and spunk, and his reveal as a secret spirit animal is a delight. “Cameos” from Frida Kahlo and Santo help the world feel populated (and even come back in a relevant way in the film’s climax). And the whole picture taps into Mexican culture in a fashion that makes the entire story richer and more distinctive.
There’s just a moment when the credits have rolled, and the afterglow of family reunions and memory-restoring songs wears off, that you remember the clunky (bony?) path the film took to get there. Themes like the need to balance your passions with your family, and the importance of honoring the memories of those who came before are strong, but also come off a bit trite in delivery. The bulk of Coco’s melody is filled with repetitive licks and the odd, fumbling pluck, which makes it harder to bob your head along from beginning to end, but it does hit one hell of a final note.
Some of it is a bit predictable, but that in no way makes the end product any less affecting. Like most Pixar films, it's deeply moving and boasts gorgeous animation and design. The representation of the culture is well done and greatly needed.
I'm simply IN LOVE with this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't stop crying! Oh Pixar, you're GENIUS
Simplemente perfecta! Pixar nunca decepciona a nivel animación y sobre todo historias con mensajes y que llegan al corazón!
Disney really know how to hit all emotions within, their films are made for all ages, you are never too old for Disney. Such a warm and beautiful film with a special message, a good heart and lots of laughs from start to finish.
The songs, the plots, the dramas... I LOVE EVERY SINGLE BIT OF THIS MOVIE!!
Right after this movie ended, when the credits shows up, and the song Remember Me came out, I was blooming in love when I first heard it sang by Miguel. Totally fell in love with the song.
I am super duper happy when "Remember Me" won Oscar for the BEST ORIGINAL SONG!!
OMG
Thanks so much Pixar for this movie! I really appreciated this one.
Thank you!!
Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. I am a huge Disney fan. I moved to Orlando to work at, or at least be close to Walt Disney World. I've seen every animated Disney feature ever made, most more than once. That said, this was probably my favorite animated Disney feature since Up. Excellent story, music, and acting. Everything I could have wanted and more. Well done!
My new favorite animated movie!
I cried right in front of my family.
Thanks a lot Pixar.
Don’t think I can add anything that hasn’t already been said but the original-ness of it really paid off. The twists of the story and how family was intertwined within that is something really special.
as a Colombian I felt soo identified by it.... mexico and colombia share a lot of things.
I couldn't not cried at the end... I CRIED A LOT.
Dumb movie. Don’t see what all the hype was. Rally music and stupid story lol
I really wanted to like this movie- honestly. I loved the twists in the plot, the adorable characters, all music aside from "Remember Me", the animations, the vibrant colors, and especially how it stayed true to Mexican culture. My issue is with the dialogue. It was so unbearably cheesy to the point where I caught myself rolling my eyes at the cliche phrases found in all family-themed animated movies. I just feel like the actual script had so much more potential.
"Coco" is an absolute gem of a film, offering a delightful and heartwarming experience suitable for the whole family. Its vibrant visuals and touching storyline come together to create a cinematic masterpiece that tugs at the heartstrings. It manages to evoke tears of both joy and sadness, capturing the essence of love, family, and tradition in a way that resonates deeply with viewers. It's the kind of movie that leaves a lasting impression, with its themes of remembrance and the enduring power of love transcending generations. "Coco" is a timeless classic that continues to enchant audiences with its beauty and heartfelt message, making it a film worth experiencing over and over again.
"Coco" is a beautifully animated film with plenty of heart to go around, of course knowing it's from Pixar. How the film explores 'Day of the Dead' and it's world by taking a particular culture and doing something incredibly unique with it. Much better than "The Book of Life", I can say that. Each character having their own colorful personality which makes them a enjoy to watch.
You know for a family movie, it's packed with a lot of themes such as: death, murder, and aging, that was handled so maturely.
My issues with the movie is it's villain, because I didn't think this type of story needed one. I won't spoil anything, but doesn't really matter since a lot of twist and turns can be seen a mile way, it gets predicable at times especially towards the end. I'm sorry to say this but "Remember Me" isn't a good song. I mean, it was use well for only that scene, but try and sing it elsewhere, not so much.
Overall rating: If it's says Pixar on the tin, you know what you get. Despite my problems, it's still enjoyable and that ain't a bad thing.
Pixar explores Mexican culture, investigating the spirituality and mythos of Day of the Dead while digging into a family conflict that's several generations old.
It's a visual, audible and emotional delight, enlivened with loud splashes of color and texture, and accompanied by a constantly upbeat musical vitality. There's no escaping the visual fabric of this film, immersive and jaw-dropping, as it constantly one-ups itself right alongside the developing plot. Particularly stunning is our crossing into the land of the dead, a monumental city of stacked shanties that shimmers and glistens and pulses as its residents decorate and celebrate their annual recognition.
The story is simple but effective, perhaps a touch on the predictable side... but so are many animated classics, and sometimes there's something to be said for following through on a promise. Coco wears its heart on its sleeve, with a permeating, spirited warmth that's impossible to ignore, while also touching on tricky, lingering feelings of betrayal and repression.
Dazzling and optimistic, with a subject that's, surprisingly, never been explored with such playful reverence in a major family film. Good to see the studio has kept tabs on that bottled magic; for a while, I worried they'd misplaced it.
I've rewatched this movie tonight and it's as magical as it was one and a half years ago. It still brings tears to my eyes and smiles to my face. And even my wife was moved by it, something that's very rare with an animated movie.
If you're a movie critic, you might not give it a 10, but for me it feels like a 10 :sweat_smile:
Pixar rarely disappoint, and this is another gem from the studio. Beautifully animated tale about life, death, and everything in between, this is a joyous film that will make you smile, cause you to tap your toes, and bring a tear to your eyes.
Normally I like all kind of animation movies but I watched Coco at plane, 12 hour-long flight and the death theme was really disturbing when you are 12.000 miles high lol
I absolutely adore this movie! It's full of adventures and hope and love and I just love it. It was so beautifully made. Every time I watch a Pixar movie they keep getting prettier and it all looks so real. Grandma Coco was everything. So beautiful. Don't get me started on the land of the dead with all the colours and lights. I really really liked it. The storyline was very exciting as well! Sometimes these movies are a bit obvious but this one had some great surprises in it.
I think Anthony Gonzalez and Gael García Bernal are such a good match! I really enjoyed their voices and characters together. I've been a great fan of Gael García Bernal since I watched "Mozart in the Jungle" and it's great seeing him doing something like this.
I can't wait for Pixar's next big movie because they somehow just keep getting better and better.
Incredible movie with a lot of showing of mexican culture and a really deep familiar message.
It’s beautifull. In a word, spectacular
A Joselito movie... Not enough.. is good of course, but it is not close to the top pixar movies.
Excellent, one of the best animated films I've seen, emotional, exciting and full of fun moments. Recommended for the whole family, especially those of us who have lost our family members and remember them with love.
Loved it. Cried like a baby :'(
An excellent animation. Exciting and amazing!
2/3 do filme é bem normal e até massante em alguns momentos. Mas o terceiro ato é muito emocionante e faz valer a pena toda a jornada até ali. Fazia tempo que não me emocionava no cinema.
O filme é muito respeitoso com a cultura mexicana e em nenhum momento agride quem não tem as mesmas crenças. Mais um bela obra da Pixar.
Can people stop comparing this movie with The Book of Life? Yes both of them have the same theme, which is The Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos). I never see any of you comparing all those movies about Christmas, Valentine, or Thanksgiving, or any other movies set around a certain holiday, but then you get two (2) animation movies about The Day of the Dead and people went bananas.
This movie is beautiful and colorful, not to mention the soundtrack. You know when a movie is created by Pixar, suddenly there's a ninja cutting onions around the corner and you cry like a baby. I just wish Pixar would make a version where they talk in Spanish, but it made me giddy when they "slipped up" and talk in Spanish. Also the plot twist, damn, nice play Pixar!
Disney and Pixar's Coco is a family-friendly movie that combines themes of life, death, legacy and family into a visually stunning and musically vibrant film. The story follows Miguel, a 12-year-old aspiring musician who wants to fulfill his dreams despite his family's ban on music. When he steals a guitar from his great-great-grandfather, he is transported to the Land of the Dead, where he must receive a blessing from a deceased family member before sunrise to return home. The movie is a positive addition to Pixar's repertoire, blending Mexican culture and tradition into a unique and ethereal story. Visually, Coco is bursting with color and vibrancy, and the all-Latino voice cast is exceptional. Although the movie may be scary for young kids, and some messages may not resonate, the overall positive elements outweigh the negatives. Coco is a celebration of life and legacy that will leave viewers with a warm feeling.

Firstly, don't just have a tissue with you when you watch this film, have an entire towel. If you cry at touching movie scenes, you'll need it.
I watched this movie as part of my Great Pandemic of 2020 weekly movie study group, and then we had a good discussion. This movie had a lot of work to do, from introducing a global audience to Mexican death mythology to addressing generational trauma, and it did it all with panache. Highly recommend, even if you don't have a child to use as an excuse for why you are watching an animated "kid's" movie.
As a twenty-year-old adult, I had trouble staying quiet as I ugly cried in a theater full of people. It's heart wrenching, but in a sweet, beautiful way.
The animation is fantastic, the music is phenomenal, and the world the script is set in is completely coherent and explainable to the point where I was able to debunk common "plot holes" people point out just by paying attention to the details.
Be warned however - it's a sad movie that makes you want to cry beyond the credits.

:man:⚖ Review : Coco ia undoubtedly a marvel from Pixar Studios. Coco, in every aspect, is a truly wondrous work of art, and the fact that it is animated only helps it as the attention-to-detail is so perfectly crafted that you will find a new, amazing thing hidden in the background every time. With beautiful mix of mexican-american speech the movie is beyond beautiful. Visually Stunning Animations, soul soothing music and beautiful articulated events which keeps you truly immersed in an experience of a lifetime.
Coco is my current favorite on top the all of my loved amimation movies. Coco beautifully transcends into music, family and promises and keep you emotionally connected even after you finish the end credits. Coco is colorful and vibrant, blending a number of unique personalities and vivid landscapes. Director Lee Unkrich keeps the narrative taut; throwing in a couple of twists along with some truly powerful moments that will invariably pull at your heartstrings.
Overall Coco, is a beautiful, marvelous piece of work from the house of Disney. I must consider myself so unlucky that i missed this in theatres.

I cried so much at the end. so many emotions and memories. simply wonderful :heart:
I honestly don't know why I gave this only a 9 before.. maybe because it's a Pixar movie and I usually don't watch those.. I don't know and it doesn’t matter.
This movie is phenomenal in every way and I probably won't ever watch it and not be an emotional wreck afterwards :candle::orange_heart::skull::fallen_leaf::sparkles:
This movie is really motivating. It's not like any Pixar movie, because I feel that it has something that makes it different. Leave a very nice reflection. I love.
Um belo filme que nos prende do primeiro ao último minuto.
My aversion to the idea of a movie set in Death kept me from seeing this movie and I almost missed this gem. Very much NOT a morbid preoccupation with death but, instead, a warm movie about family. I got a little schooling about Hispanic culture, enjoyed an imaginative story, colourful, textured animation and a great song. I highly recommend this film, as did the Oscars with their nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. I give this an 8 (great) out of 10.
O filme é fantástico... Uma historia que o final dele é de uma forma que nunca iria imaginar.
Great movie, I really enjoyed it
One of the best animated movies I've ever seen! Disney being Disney.
One of the very few movies to get a 10 from me. My husband in Mexican and we even went to see this movie with his family while in Mexico and it is true to the culture and so well done. I love most Disney movies anyways, but this is one of my top ranking all time favorite Disney movies and that says a lot.
A film that made me cry, laugh, and care. A true example of Perfect.
Gloriously rich, both in colour and emotion. This is Pixar at it's best.
I wish someone would have warned me how emotional this movie would be! I loved the story! Great job Pixar!
This movie makes me less scared to die one day. They will remember me.
I was really surprised by the quality of the shots we got to see (especially water physics and skin representation), you can really assess how much we have improved with imagery technology !
Other than this, I really enjoyed this movie : the story was great, the universe refreshing and the music was not overwhelming (I have built a grudge against music for the sake of movie-selling since Moana), instead it was a good opening into mexican culture !
The characters were also really touching, there is only one point that annoyed me : the dog
This dog is one of the representation of the will of Disney/Pixar to create generic films : the film has to have hardship, friends, an enemy, songs that will get stuck in your head and a mindbogglingly numb companion : this was the case in Moana with the chicken, and this is the case here with the dog. I don't really hate this dog, it is funny and all... But do we always have to endure this kind of easy jokes ?
Anyway, in the end I still loved the movie, and encourage you to go see it !
True to Pixar form, Coco enhances its strong storytelling with brilliant visuals that inspire the imagination and is a wonderful love letter to Mexico.
Such a unique movie and absolutely nothing like The Book of Life! The film had the sweetest message and was lovable from start to finish.
It is a wonderful movie, beautiful and it touches your heart, especially to me that I lost my mother in 2008 when I was 10 years old and it's a loss that I never got over and that today hurts me. teaches you the courage to fight for your dreams and without caring that you should never give up, that sometimes the circumstances force us to get away from the people we want but in spite of everything we always remember them and we carry them in our hearts, the song is simply beautiful and makes you cry, transmits many emotions, in short I can only say that the film is simply unique and it deserves that Oscar that won this year and that is 100% recommended. so I invite you that if you have not yet seen this incredible movie, go to the movie theaters or rent the movie or see it on a web page, but you can not stop seeing it, is one of the most beautiful animated films I've seen in my life, I'm still crying with emotion, is that the movie is absolutely beautiful and please see it as soon as possible, Anyway, that was all I had to say thank you for your attention.
DAMN good movie, bloody insane. This is one to add to your collection!
Like a day in Disneyland: we've seen it all before but it's still well worth the visit.
Beautiful movie. Seemed a bit cliche to me from the trailers. Like Book of Life or Corpse Bride cliche. In some cases it is but the movie is touching and charming throughout.
Sure Disney has made many films about staying true to yourself and following your dreams. Coco, however is still one of their best like that.
There No Guitar No Music
A really cute movie, with a REALLY great message.
Quite boring at first but the ending is beautiful. People with lost ones would never forget them.
huge heart in this movie, good story, very enjoyable. endless skeleton physical comedy gets a little old.
Hola... my..name.. eez..eslow poke R-r-r-rodr-r-rigues..zee slowess mouse...een olive Mexico
I thought this was a gorgeous movie both in story and in imagery. Not too mention some absolutely fantastic music and guitar work.
Its a Pixar movie, if you’ve liked one of them you’ll love all of them.
We laughed and we cried.
I love this movie, it is emotional. It explains how life is and how we tend to forget what's really important. It shows the importance of family and love.
Quite decent. A few segments I felt were a bit boring and definitely were drawn out and long. The twist was very obvious but the story was still fun.
The songs were alright - nothing worth downloading.
I liked the character designs and the animation. It was great. One stupid thing that griped me was the fact that Hector's photo was in their house the entire time.
ok don't get me wrong I did enjoy this movie and the values of it the movie should have been funnier is my only gripe but it was a lot of fun to watch and learn lessons not only about Mexican heritage but family in General this is a good Christmas movie to go see just remember it does have skeletons so be careful with the youngest of kids but aside from that I really enjoyed it and totally recommend it
Looks beautiful. Sends a good message about how important family is. There really aren't any memorable songs. The beginning is really slow. It does end strong though. Kids will probably be a little bored.
I liked it more on a rewatch. Remember me is a better song than I originally it gave credit for. That ending is fantastic.
Good not great Pixar. Will make you cry, certainly, and music is good. But it starts slower than I thought possible for a kids movie. I noticed some kids losing patience...but so was I. Ultimately a clever story and an interesting "world" save this from a very sluggish start. 6/10
Great tribute from Disney Pixar to Mexico.
Beautiful animation. Of course mexicans are the ones that will enjoy it the most, just like I did.
:heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: - Coco is a wonderful animated film. It was emotional, colourful, smart and teaches the importance of celebrating family.

this movie gives me tears every time I watch it. my favorite moment is the in the final scene when Miguel sings "remember me" to mama Coco, that's when I lose it every time
Poco Loco is a BANGER
40 minutos I am a quarantas minutas
A very interesting and creative storyline as per usual for Disney animation that tells a deep rooted story that is a good role model for kids. This one follows a young boy who is fascinated with music, but his family has disallowed any music due to a deep rooted dark part of their family history. So destined to play music the boy goes on a unique adventure to find the truth. It has all the makings for another great Disney animation film as the plot development was spot on (all though the mixture of characters got a bit confusing) and the graphics were awesome to go along with a great story, but there was little to no magical songs throughout the film.
Colourful and artistic, the warm visuals of this film will make you feel like you’re in sunny Mexico yourself.
I didn’t find the narrative particularly compelling or special, but the twist towards the end was pleasant, invoking an “Oh, didn’t see that coming!” moment.
And great music! I downloaded the soundtrack as soon as the credits started to roll.
This is a tad predictable, and it probably should’ve gone a little deeper with the legacy theme, but it’s beautiful and emotional. Very well developed characters, the look and atmosphere of this world are amazing, and the comedy is funny and creative. I love the quirks that are worked into the design of the skeletons in particular. One of the weirder Pixar movies for sure, but the risks definitely pay-off if you ask me. However, it does use that typical Pixar trope where the main protagonists find themselves into an argument, split up, and then reconnect a couple of scenes later. Not a major complaint but I’d wish they’d stop doing that.
8/10
What a fantastic movie with an amazing, emotional meaning behind it. Absolutely loved every second of it.
god i was about to cry !! i think i already did, that's was so beautiful and so emotional really loved it and definitely will rewatch many times!!
perfect!
Gorgeous to look at. Great characters. All the feels.
I watched Luca (2021) earlier this month, but it feels really overhyped after this. Coco is much better in my opinion. The Mexican vibe is amazing and the story (although a bit predictable) is just fun with some emotional elements here and there. The songs are good too. I never heard of this movie and I honestly don’t know how that happened.
Also: taco taco burrito burrito.
Pixar, please make more musicals. Every song in this move was better than the entire Frozen soundtrack.
I really loved this movie. What a beautiful message. What a beautiful approach to Mexican culture. I was moved in many moments.
The development of mankind is the memory of generations. It is worth... remembering that. :)
Its very good, the mexican songs is very good, the story was interesting.
You know movie won't disappoint you when you see PIXAR.
This is probably their best work! :green_heart:
I went in expecting absolutely nothing and came out mildly enjoying it. I'll just get a few things out of the way before I reach my verdict. As a rompy heart-felt Pixar movie, it works at hitting all the notes. Take your family to see it, you'll all enjoy it. If you're of Mexican heritage, I'm sure you will absolutely love the movie, I think that much is clear. I don't think anyone's shocked when the box office for this is the highest in all Mexico history. I've had a long, personal, and almost battered-house-wife-type relationship with Disney. That corporation has done so much shit in the past decade that has infuriated me to the point of boycotting any of their media, including the popular theme parks. But now that I have a MoviePass, I have no excuse to not see every movie that comes out into theaters, so I figured I'd waste a few hours to form my own opinion. Ignoring the infuriating Frozen short that plays before-hand, Coco excels at tugging the heart strings, while simultaneously adding nothing unique or original to Pixar's line-up. I know, according to premiere critics, every story-line that is possible has been done already, but it strikes me that Pixar doesn't really try to hide their formula. I think the biggest sin Coco commits is how blatant it is when it uses these cliches. The young boy who wants more out of life, but his family refuses to let him cliche, the villain is revealed to the world via hidden camera cliche, the stranger protagonist meets turns out to be family-related cliche, and so on, and so on. Some may not mind these tropes, and I'm totally okay with it. Ignoring the tiresome and eye-rolling story patterns, Coco does manage to shine through and give us a couple of great little moments, muddled in the predictable story. The twist reveal and flashbacks towards the end of the second act are the most interesting, to say the least, and will give people flashbacks to Jessie's backstory from Toy Story 2. It's the one aspect of the movie that really makes it stick out, as well as the nicely-done final ten minutes. I won't spoil what these are, but they're good sequences. They're what raise my recommendation for Coco from below-average to it's worth seeing in theaters. It's not something I'd rush out to see, but there's no harm in going to see it.
I have just watched this movie and the visuals are incredible although I feel like there is room for improvement and I feel that this is a very good film for adults and children to watch together. Go and buy the DVD, you will not regret it as it will take you through all the emotions. A 7 out of 10 because it does not have as much charm as the Disney and Pixar classics do although I believe it will become a classic some day.
The most aesthetically appealing Pixar movie I have ever watched. I am an adult and I have watched it three times now. Beautiful story, excellent music, and the visuals are incredible. Highly recommend this one.
One of Disney/Pixar’s best! I wish there were a few more catchy Disney songs, but visually, Coco is fantastic.
It is true. We are until nobody remembers us. I cried.
Surprisingly good, considering quite a fairly straightforward story.
"No Music!"
"Coco" is a beautifully animated film with plenty of heart to go around, of course knowing it's from Pixar. How the film explores 'Day of the Dead' and it's world by taking a particular culture and doing something incredibly unique with it. Much better than "The Book of Life", I can say that. Each character having their own colorful personality which makes them a enjoy to watch.
You know for a family movie, it's packed with a lot of themes such as: death, murder, and aging, that was handled so maturely.
My issues with the movie is it's villain, because I didn't think this type of story needed one. I won't spoil anything, but doesn't really matter since a lot of twist and turns can be seen a mile way, it gets predicable at times especially towards the end. I'm sorry to say this but "Remember Me" isn't a good song. I mean, it was use well for only that scene, but try and sing it elsewhere, not so much.
Overall rating: If it's says Pixar on the tin, you know what you get. Despite my problems, it's still enjoyable and that ain't a bad thing.
How do you guys watch these movies???
