Best animated film of 2017

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2018)

I finally got around to seeing Coco. I must say I really enjoyed it! Coco definitely deserved all the praise it got in 2017.
To start this movie is absolute pure eye candy. It is bright and festive and really captures the fantasy world it creates. It's certainly deserved to win best animated picture.
Second, the music is outstanding. There were a number of songs throughout the movie I had to rewind because I wanted to listen to them over again. The song Remember Me will get stuck in your head for days! I completely understand why it was nominated and even won best original song.
The story and characters were all around entertaining.
As the story progressed the movie had me laughing but also kept me engaged by it's heartwarming message.
The movie did a great job depicting a culture not normally represented in childrens Cinema.
Not only did the movie portray the importance of cultural traditions it also hammered home the importance of family.
I really enjoyed Coco overall. It was easily the best animated movie of the year and provided both a heartwarming and educational story. I'm glad to see Disney branch out and make movies out of their traditional comfort zone. A 8.75 out of 10.
