Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2018)

I entered the theatre expecting a charming musical like Frozen. However, I experienced much more.
The animation is top notch as expected from Disney animation. I found myself relating to the journey of Miguel as he tries to pursue his passion in an unforgiving family, addressing questions of life such as family, career, and passion. Pixar leaves me wondering how it was able to develop these unanswerable philosophical questions in a way that could capture and expand a child's imagination but also challenges an adult to relate and reflect.
A few unexpected plot-twists adds color to this modern, funny, and sweet story. Although I'm not familiar with the part of the Hispanic culture this movie is centered around; I appreciate the undeniable creative and modern adaptation of it.
An exploration of individuality, to embark on Miguel's journey but also to contemplate our own, this film is a must-see.
