Review of Coco (2017) by Rupert E — 25 Dec 2017

When Miguel, a 12 year old Spanish boy wants to follow his hearts' dream of becoming a musician, things turn for the worst as he finds himself trapped between his family with an apathy towards music and egocentric, sleazy characters in the afterlife. On a quest to find his Grandfather he discovers a world never imagined.

What a fantastic film, rich of intrigues, emotion and mesmerizing scenes.

The warmth and Spanish undertone of the film, evoke your own family bonds, while fond memories and love for one's Grandmother stirs your heart.

I lost myself in the movie to such an extent that I forgot I was watching an animated production.

Coco is not a musical, but there is a hint of music in the film, which builds on top of the superb storyline. The screenwriter manages to create a suspense in which one can't wait for Miguel to play his next riff on his strum.

The film is heartwarming. It manages to show us a different side to the afterlife, a side which we never imagined, where the dead interacts with the living and skeletons are beautiful, emotional and lovable characters.

Miguel strikes a friendship with a trickster named Hector and together they discover the story about Miguel's family, which eventually leads to making his dream become reality.

The animated 3D adventure encourages oneself to follow your dreams at all cost, but most importantly to put your loved ones first.

The movie has been produced by Disney and taken Gross Income of $457,925,760 from it's opening on the 22nd of November until 22nd of December 2017.

Coco is a wonderful film for the whole family and a must see for everyone who loves music, beautiful scenes and awesome characters!
