A movie with a soul

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2018)

RATING: 8,5/10
Pixar returns after two sequels ("Cars 3" and "Finding Dory") with an original film and the result, as it was for "Inside Out" and for most of its films, is a real success.
A success not only bound to the box office, a sector in which it went very well even if it could have done better, but above all to the consensus received by the critics, who rewarded him with excellent marks (81/100 on Metacritic) and wonderful reviews (even 97% of positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes), and by the public, which gives him a very high rating on IMDb.
But despite all these awards the film had not intrigued me at all, to the point that my vision on the big screen of Coco was even not to happen, but luckily I went to the cinema and in the end I saw this wonderful animated film of whom I had heard to the point of nausea.
Like all Pixar products, the film can count on an extraordinary animation that, in this case, is highlighted in a full-bodied way through countless colors, beautiful lights that do justice to designs that can be defined as works of art.
But beyond the incredible fantasy both in appearance and in content, what makes "Coco" different from all the other animated films, but which unites it to those of the same Studios, is that inside itself has a soul and you can hear it in the audience's laughter, but also in the tears that some of its scenes, of a beautiful, touching and real depth, spring up and in the eyes of the children that instead of chatting, as they would with any other film, stay there in silence because immersed in a dream that will make them grow, mature and improve.
A film of great moral and cultural importance, as well as politics (given the recent clashes between USA and Mexico), a Pixar that takes position and with much courage and imagination, explores new stories, cultures and "worlds".
Some sins here and there but undoubtedly minor.
In fact it is one of the most important and beautiful animated films in recent years, and not only.
