Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2017)

Coco is a very unique phenomenon. Not only it has shown that there are still those with vision and perspective in Pixar and in general US but also has given back the true feeling of art back to the animations once more. Coco tells the tale of the most humane part of all humans, family, love and art...but very cleverly this tale takes shape around the Mexican culture and traditions. At a time that US has never been more divided on many different issues and Mecicans have been pictured all as illegal immigrants and the main causes of crimes by media, Pixar shows courage and creates a masterpiece that confronts such idiotic ideas and tries to remind all people a lot of things that they forgot, the fact that we all are the same and share the same feelings and sentiments. Unlike many movies music in Coco is not just a tool to fill the uncomfortable silences but it is the real protagonist of this story...it is present at all times and you miss it if it isn't for a second. The visual effects of the movie are incredible and stunning. Everything has been done for a purpose and every character has a role to play. It made me cry twice and to be honest it wasn't the sadness or heartbreak that caused it, I was so absorbed in how they introduced the concept of death that was overwhelming for me. In conclusion I found Coco to be one of the best movies of not only this year but of all time at least among all the other 3D animated movies.
