Review of Coco (2017) by Edgaroni — 08 Mar 2018

(I'll keep this very spoiler free) As someone who is a Hispanic and was surrounded with many Mexican traditions and taught the history of my family's culture, I was happy seeing the film wasn't a big Mexican stereotype like The Book Of Life (which I personally did not enjoy because it wasn't able to keep my attention besides its interesting animation) it felt like an actual Mexican family and many of the characters reminded me of my own family members with the way they would interact with the lead Miguel.

This film was filled with a lot of charm and love with every bit of detail they would add in the animation and even the music, so much of this film kept me with a big smile and never looking away. The only issue I have that keeps it from being a perfect film is the story, I was able to predict most of the twist and part of the ending, it does do some of the typical Disney tropes where the boy tries leave the family to pursue his dreams that the family forbids him to do, but it doesn't ruin the film, because It works in the film's favor, it helps give it even more charm that it already has.

In short, Coco is a fantastic film with so much to love about it and even if the story can be predictable with the some of the typical Disney plot, it doesn't take away from the film, but it gives it more to love about it.

I highly recommend this film to everyone and I think it's up there with the great Pixar films and deserve all the praise it's getting.
