Animated for Picture of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2017)

Beyond the story about The Day of the Dead, it is a story about why we should honor our ancestors. The thing that will make you live forever, is that your family remembers you and what you meant to their lives. Americans, especially ones whose are from families who immigrated long ago, have lost reverence of family, and with it, there reason to love their country. Coco shows us that we are the sons and daughters of people who gave so that we exist. Having traveled in the Southwest, I have seen how ancestors are remembered in the old cemeteries in old church yards. This is a movie that needs to be seen by families, generations of families, so that we can find each other again.
