A solid movie with nice twist

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2020)

This is a good movie however I do have my flaws with it, but we will get into that later. This movie follows a kid named miguel who is in love with music, however his family hates it, especially his grandmother. Now this cause a drift/ tension between Miguel and his other family members. So on his own he sneaks around pllaying music even though music of any kind is banned in his family. Well one day based of the guitar he has in his family photo he believes Ernesto de la cruz his idol and music legend is his father and after stealing his character from his sanctuary he transported to the world of the dead. Now in order to get back home he needs to receive a blessing from one of his dead family members before the raise or death awaits him.
Now lets talk about some of the characters. Miguel is a generic character who wants to do what he believes in, but unfortunately his family won't let him. Nothing special, but works for this movie.
Now Abuelita the grandmother on the other hand is such an annoying character. Its to unrealistic for her to hate music so much to the point she dictates the entire family to stop listiening or playing music all together.
Ernesto de la cruz is a cool character on the other hand, and the quite frankly the usual disney twist villain really worked here. Although I will say how we find out he actually killed Miguel real great great grandfather Hector was so stupid. He basically admitted it in a moive lol.
Imelda who is miguel great great grandmother is an arlgiht character. She hates Hectpr because he frankly did abandon his family to pursue his music dreams, which is completely understandable. Although still banning all music is kind of dumb. Regardless I really like how she cares for miguel and they are family and she really does want im to get back home. Although she wants all music of his to be banned is very stupid and I very much dislike how she basically in love with Hector again even if she finds out the truth. At the end of the day Hector still left his family alone with no means to make money until Imelda eventually started a shoe buisness.
Now lets talk about the best character in the show Hector. The dude just doesn't want to be forgotten by his daugher coco in the living world because when your forgotten in the day of the dead I guess that means you cease to exist. Anyway his personality was great, he goes from being some immature con artist to a likeable kind man. Although I would have preferred if you know maybe he was a bad as family made him out to be and for him to had been forgotten, I understand this is a kids movie. So in all honesty the twist with him actually had wanted to comeback to his family, but Ernesto food poisoned him was still great and I'm glad he gets the due credit he deserves for all songs he wrote that Ernesto took credit for. Now the callback with how Ernesto gets a bell falling on him in the dead word which is the exact way on how he died in the living world was nice. Although him being forgotten didn't make the mose sense to me....like what only a year past since he was defamed and your tellining no one remembers him anymore.
