It's fair to say that expectations were high,
and as with movies before it, Pixar didn’t fail to impress. Coco is
themed around the Day of The Dead culture in Mexico, and at the core is about
family. The narrative also touches upon aspects of aspirations, choices, and
ties it all together with music. The presentation is lively, colorful, and the
3D animation is beautiful. The characters are very likable, and the story is
really heartwarming. Some of the closing moments were really emotional, and I
can see why many reviewers have said that they were in tears. The DTS
soundtrack was absolutely amazing, and on a good surround home-theatre comes
alive; making for a high-energy setting, with noticeable use of surround, and crisp
sound effects.
While I won't put it in the same league as Inside
Out, because that took creativity to another level, Coco makes for
great family entertainment. Kids will love it, and adults should find it light
and entertaining. No surprises as to why it won the Oscar for best animated
feature of 2017.
My
Recommendation: Watch It + (Mexico, Music, and all that good stuff)
