Beautiful and Incredible Movie Experience

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2017)

This movie left me, and the rest of the theater, bawling. I saw even grown men tearing up because of this film. I am not exaggerating. It was incredibly difficult to hold back the tears and from exhibiting that ugly cry face. The experience was so overwhelming I had to write a review. I'm almost positive I wasn't the only one that related to this film. You can't help but see yourself in Miguel, your tias and tios in his family, and especially your abuela in his. This is one of the more developed family stories I have ever seen in a Disney and Pixar film. There are so many dimensions to the characters in Coco, the growth and development isn't reserved for only the main character. I appreciated the special attention to culture in this film, it was done so respectfully. I was engaged the entire time and most importantly so was my 3 year old (and that's an incredible feat!). The musical score was excellent and the animation was beautiful. I come from a predominantly chicano community, so you can imagine the theater was packed for this showing. The theater was filled with tears and applause in the end. I intend on bringing my abuela to watch Coco in the Spanish dub.
