A piece of the Mexican Culture, created with a beautiful & colorful story. BIG 10 !

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2018)

I was expecting another great movie from PIXAR, mainly based on the art and special effects, I wasn't expecting such a great story, with a deep understanding of the celebration of "Dia de los Muertos" You Lee U. and your team really made a great effort understanding the Mexican tradition ( Traditionally celebrated in Janitzio, Michoacan and the center states of Mexico.) I do not celebrate this festivity,I'm Mexican and NON catholic, BUT I do respect the traditions of my country.(Also, I do NOT like The National Anthem,- a WAR song- not right for the current times, but I do respect it). Where I get my connection with this event, is that mexicans have s strong relationship with DEATH = " La Muerte"
In Mexico, people DANCE with skeletons, sings a lot about it; "offends" the DEATH " La Calaca " in a macho act: " a mi la MUERTE . . . me pela los dientes ! "
For me as a non catholic is easier to deal with La Muerte.
La Calaca o La CATRINA is represented in the MURAL of Diego Rivera:
Un Domingo en la Alameda. " La Muerte esta presente en cada etapa del mexicano.The mexicans have maybe a unique relationship with the DEATH.

The celebration has deep indigenous roots on the origin. is not a religious . festivity per say, but the Church doesn't oppose to it.
I see that this celebration is becoming more popular during the last decade,
While I never set up an altar in my home, I do enjoy the celebration on the different towns that they make a big event., like in Xcaret, Can Cun, Mex.
I do admired deeply your penetration to the habits and customs of the everyday life of some mexicans.Like the love of soccer, The 'art" of using LA CHANCLA like a weapon,the Mariachis so well represented The norteno BAND ( That by the way I HATE that music) The strong connection in SOME mexicans with their families, etc BUT you did a great effort understanding the Mexican Culture.
BRAVO !
Nobody has done such a great beautiful work with mexican traditions,in an animated movie. I LOVE IT
Mexican Dir. Guillermo del Toro made a bad experiment with this topic, UN GARABATO !
Coco is for me marvelous, and being the results ( CHINA) You should make more movies for these audiences, ( I believe there are similar things with the Chinese & Mexican CULTURES.
* On the trivia section lacks some INFO, Who sang the song Recuerdame
(Ernesto de la Cruz was Benjamin Bratt, but who sang the songs ?
I'd LOVE to know,
I knew I was right about Ernesto de la Cruz & Pedro Infante connection !
Lee U. GOOD LUCK in March !
