Interesting Pixar Film

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2017)

Coco is a nice surprise from Pixar. I have seen that they had slumped with Brave, which was a poor film but they have improved since with Inside Out and then slumped again with the mediocre Good Dinosaur. I haven't seen their recent sequels such as "Cars 2" so I can't comment on them. Coco, I think is a pretty good film.
I'm a big fan of music and that's one of the reasons why I like this film, it focuses on how a boy aspires to be a musician and he loves music. It helped me to connect with the film more because of my love for music. Though, I'm not big on Mexican culture, but this movie helped me appreciate the Day of the Dead thing. It made me want to go to Mexico on Day of the Dead to see what it's like.
It has a really interesting depiction of Day of the Dead, even if it's a fantasy. It's like The Book of Life in its art and writing but it's done better.
What's the problem with the film? Well, I do think it had a little too much emotion in it, it was pretty evident from the beginning. I'm not a fan of dramas so I don't like the amount of emotion this film has. Pixar is known for emotional films but they also tend to put a good amount of humor in their films, and this film didn't have much in the way of laugh-out-loud moments and it didn't have much action in it (and I also happen to like action), the action was more calmer, so that's what keeps me from rating the film very highly. I also don't like how the character of Miguel tends to lie and that he lives in a family that forbids music.
This is a cute film. It's a charming Pixar film, I just could do with a little less drama and it was predictable, I also predicted in the end that the grandmother was going to die because she looked so old, like she was like 90 or 100. It's not scary or dark, I think it's appropriate for kids to watch.
