Coco is an animated Disney movie directed by Lee Unkrich and produced by Darla K. Anderson, both of whom worked on the critically acclaimed Toy Story 3.
The movie was inspired by the Mexican holiday, Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), during which family members pray for deceased family members and help them move on into the afterlife. The Day of the Dead is viewed as a time for celebration, rather than mourning.
Coco tells the story of Miguel, a 12-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a musician, which is family isn't very enthusiastic about. But an accident soon brings Miguel to the Land of the Dead.
The story of Coco presents a simple but gripping conflict. Viewers will stay glued to the edge of their seats to see what happens next in Miguel's adventure. The movie's cinematography is classic Pixar, gorgeous from start to finish, and the unique character designs are charming.
Another thumbs-up goes to the voice actors who bring their characters to life and mix in Spanish-language bits with heavy accents. Adding to the Mexican flavor is the vibrant Latin music, with songs like "Remember Me," Un Poco Loco" and "Everyone Knows Juanita."
Coco is rich in lessons of morality, making it the perfect family going experience. It raises themes of family love and invites viewers never to stop chasing their dreams.
