Excited!

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2018)

Coco is a great kids movie and is one of my favorite kids movie as of now. The beauty of the movie is not only in the visuals but also the story line. This movie shows that you should strive to accomplish your dreams, whatever makes you happy is important and you should do it even if some people do not approve. In the story Miguel, the main character, loves music although his family has banned music for many generations. Although they do not approve, he goes on a journey to find a family member that does love music and will guide him. This is where the pixar film shows the importance of your happiness but as well as family. I felt many emotions when watching this movie, mainly happiness but at certain points there are feelings of sadness. It also incorporates a great deal of Mexican culture, with a heavy focus on dia de los muertos (the day of the dead). Dia de los muertos is a heavily practiced holiday where is it to be believed that family members come back from the dead if they are remembered by their family and have their picture on the ofrenda (offering). This is very sacred and is a celebration of the afterlife. This movie is given a 10/10 for visuals, plot line, and history of the Mexican culture.
