Review of Coco (2017) by Michaelobe — 23 Nov 2017
12-year-old Miguel Rivera dreams to be a musician, but his family is against this, because the family business of the shoemaking. The problem is that Miguel's great-great-grandfather abandoned his wife and daughter for the musician's career, and since then in the Rivera's house any melody is banned. There comes the Mexican Day of the Dead, and Miguel secretly goes to the city square to participate in the talent contest, but he does not have a guitar. He decides to "borrow" the instrument in the crypt of his idol - Ernesto de la Cruz - but, touching guitar, Miguel falls into the world of the dead. And if he does not get out of there until the morning, he will forever remain a skeleton.
Pixar is surprising again. This time - the ability to tell a very grown-up story by kids' language. As in the Oscar-winning "Inside Out", here we go on a journey, where the ultimate goal is homecoming, back to the family. Add to this juicy Mexican melodies, brilliant animation, and Pixar's sense of humor and you will get an unforgettable cocktail of all possible emotions. It is clear that the "Oscar" is already in their pocket.
