Review of Coco (2017) by Doug N — 17 Nov 2018

Pixar has created a vividly imaginative film that centers around the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the dead. The animation and backdrops of the film are so colorful and vibrant. They've created a visually stunning fantasy world of the land of the dead. It's story is very well paced, and has an excellent plot twist towards the end. A true classic for the ages that will pull the heartstrings, and features some memorable songs along with it.

There's so much about the film that's worth praising, including the animation is top-notch quality. The visual effects and backgrounds really standout as fantastic eye-candy in the film, most noticeably during the land of the dead scenes. The narrative never drags in parts, and adds a real emotional punch with it's plot twist. Also worth mentioning, the music is just as exuberant as the film with the best song being Remember Me. It's main characters are unforgettable especially Hector, and Miguel who are my favorites in the film. Pixar have truly outdone themselves with this animated feature.

It's an incredible masterpiece in animation, and storytelling. The colorful landscape makes for some of the best eye candy in cinema. This is a well crafted story that will have you laughing and weeping with tears for its memorable characters, and heartfelt songs. The animation is a master class in workmanship and artistry. It's without question the best Pixar feature since Inside Out, that will endear in the hearts of all ages for generations to come.
