A Heartfelt Addition To The Pixar Playlist

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2018)

Coco is a truly heartfelt and beautifully scripted coming of age film from the minds of the Pixar team. Taking a risk in our current climate with a Latin-based film, Pixar hit the ground running with this one and quite frankly "nailed it."
I must say, I was originally sceptical of this film thinking it was Pixar's answer to The Book Of Love, but I was happily proven wrong. Although both films are partially set in the Land Of The Dead that is where the similarities end.
A beautifully sculpted, written and directed film about the hubris of youth and how meeting ones heroes is never what is expected. I highly recommend this film for anyone with kids, who is a kid, who was a kid, who has a family or is thinking of a family. Quite frankly, I simply recommend this film for all that it brings to the table; culture, soul, redemption, love, loss and laughter.
Watch this with the kids or by yourself, it is worth it on every level.
