Coco: You will laugh and maybe cry

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2018)

This is an animated film from Pixar, which features a very dark plot. The protagonist is Miguel, he is a Mexican child who dreams of becoming a musician despite his family's strong disapproval.
He is transported into the 'Land of the Dead' to seek his hero Ernesto de la Cruz, a famous musician from previous generations. However, it becomes evident that he will never return to the 'Land of the Living' if he stays too long. Miguel's adventure results in the uncovering of a murder and he discovers a new hero.
The animation is very atmospheric, especially the colourful and imaginative scenes while in the 'Land of the Dead'. This film is enjoyable for both children and adults, you will laugh and maybe cry like my wife did (several times)
