trip to the other world

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 2018)

Beautifully crafted and in the end very touching picture. Our hero, Miguel, has a clear stated goal: he wants to play music, which is forbidden in his family, that specializes in crafting of shoes. The beginning might feel a bit constructed (lots of exposition), but be patient and enjoy the striking colors of the Mexican landscapes, cities and people. Once the story takes us to the land of the dead (via a wonderfull bridge made of flowers) everything starts to move very quick. Both funny and moving, this is another one of those famous Pixar-tearjerkers. Yup, didn't make it without tears. again, Pixar, again!
