Mexican heart wrenching family story.

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2018)

Coco balances in a tight spot. Much of the story is based on a couple of simple misunderstandings. It's very coincidental that way, much more so then most other Pixar films. However they were able to convey this well enough to be believable. It doesn't always work as much as I'd like, being a tad predictable at times. But in order to fix this they'd also lose many of the sentimental scenes. Which are heartbreaking and greatly enhance the experience I had.
Now what was really entertaining was the amount of richness in cultural aspects. To understand the conflicts of this world, they had to introduce us to Mexican tradition. These details are hidden in the fabric of the whole movie. The world building brought me close to it's characters. It's a prized experience and gives people like me that don't know much about day of the dead a loving introduction.
I highly recommend this to people foreign to the concept of the day of the dead.
