AMAZING -- But not for Everyone

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2017)

As a familia, we went to see Disney's/Pixar's Coco last night at the the little Empire Cinema in Brewster. WARNING! visually tantalizing film with excellent story, emotionally evocative and terrific humor, but not for everyone.
Only other attendees, middle aged couple sitting near the back and family of 5 across the aisle; three kids, 7, 4, 2. Throughout the film the 4 year old intermittently screamed her head off terrified of the many skeletal characters. The 2 year old was either hypnotized by the visuals, or also screamed in panic as the Mom dragged the hysterical 4 year old out and then back again. (Sometimes Mom carried both out) This happened at least 5 times. Eventually the 2 year old calmed down, allowed to roll in the aisle spreading out a bed of popcorn she upended onto the aisle.
On our side of the aisle we were well behaved, thanks to Tootsie Rolls an Fig Newtons. The aging Coco was truly amazing to me. The design and animation very close to the reality of my own Mom in her last stage of life. Tears were frequent. Upon leaving we passed the still seated middle aged couple. The husband's eyes covered by his hands also in tears.
