Pixar does it again !

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2017)

With 'Coco', Pixar once again proves that they're masters of storytelling. A lot of people thought this was going to be a fancier copy of "The Book of Life", but that's not at all the case. This one has a much more fleshed out story, with characters that the viewer grows to love and beautifully done animation. The movie starts off in a typical fashion, with the main character wanting to do something the family doesn't want him to, but the story gets interesting when Miguel believes he is related to Ernesto De la Cruz. Now you probably think you have this part of the plot figured out from what you've seen in the trailers, but Pixar pulls a "Toy Story 3" and "Monsters Inc." on us and surprise us. The meaning behind the title of the film becomes clear towards the end of the movie and it will pull at your feels. As a Latina American, I promise my fellow Latin American viewers they will not be disappointed. Pixar really did their research and present Mexican culture in a beautiful way. They even have animated Golden age Mexican actors and actresses in "the other side" like Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, and I think one of them is supposed to be Maria Felix. The family is depicted in a way that will be familiar to all Latinos watching. The animation both on the living and dead worlds is beautiful. I highly recommend this one. "The Book of Life" is cute, but "Coco" is a masterpiece. Thank you so much pixar.
