The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Yet again, Pixar never ceases to touch our hearts and drop our jaws with their unpredictable storylines, loveable characters, amazing visuals, and mind blowing plot twists. Never again will you see a movie as powerful as this one. Teaching us that there is always more to people than what we see and also how music affects lives. Be amazed and be touched by this masterpiece and it will leave you with a deep appreciation for family and music.
I don't think Coco could've been launched at a better moment in History. Watching the colorful and realistic portraits of Mexicans and their cultures, I thought it was great that Disney gave Mexico a reason to be proud of themselves, while Trump keeps on humiliating the country with his outrageous speaches. This is my particular view. Now, about the movie itself... I am a writer. I've watched about 80% of Disney movies, and still I was surprised. Maybe I didn't board with much faith, because people kept telling my I'd love it. But when the twist came, and I was unaware, I burst into tears. Now, I am a 28 year old person, I did not expect the story to be so engaging, or their message to be so heart breaking, it transceeds generations and brings us closer to our families and dreams. Unfortunately, my grandmother passes away one year ago, so it made me understand the importance of REMEMBERING even more. Not only remembering, but also keeping the traditions alive and never let the flame of our ancesters perish. I absolutely love this picture, and I'll go back to it many, many times in my life.
Brilliant, masterpiece. It is one of those must see animation movies from Pixar, most 'human' one ever made. If you're emotionally unstable at the time of watching it, give yourself a couple of days, then enjoy. Thanks Pixar.
