The genuine, warm film that is sure to resonate with audiences deeply

Rating: 9/10 (5 December 2017)

This pixar film really struck a personal chord with me, Coco has once again solidified pixar as the king of animation and family films. Over the years pixar has given us lots of warm emotional stories but none quite like Coco.Last year's Inside out was certainly great it had its defining moments and it definitely was a very good film, but, Inside out just doesn't have this personal touch that Coco captures perfectly, in fact I think Coco is one of if not the greatest Pixar film. The fact that after this movie I am simply able to forget about the atrociously long Frozen 'short' should go to show just how great it is.
While, Coco isn't as innovative storytelling wise and had a rather foreseeable plot twist but. Rather than expanding outwards and reaching new and innovative stories like Inside out Coco does a complete 180 and delves deep into each individual that watches this film. It is such a simple but effective formula that I can't stop praising it, there really isn't anything new to this story yet, there is just something so genuinely warm and relatable in Coco.
Coco had one of the most stunning animations, the details put into each character (especially mama coco) was breathtaking, but the use of vibrant colours was an amazing choice. In fact, viewing this movie you would almost forget that the subject matter here is somewhat of a morbid topic, yet similar to the spirit of dias de los muertos Coco captures that vibrant, lively attitude towards death.
The soundtrack was also a highlight of Coco in fact, I am listening to Coco's soundtrack as I am writing this, they were not necessarily catchy but as the film as a whole is, genuine and sincere.
Coco is about family and the importance of families, but its execution of such a 'cliched' topic is simply mind blowing and as I have said so many times in this review, to sum up this film, it is simply that sense of genuine sincerity that makes this film so real, so warm and so special in Pixar's ever expanding roster of films.
