Coco (Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, 2017)

Coco is one of the most beautiful and heartfelt animated films I’ve ever seen. I try not to be too hyberbolic when I write about things I love, but sometimes, that’s just not gonna happen. I’d been anticipating this movie since it was first announced (six years ago!!) - Pixar and Dia de los Muertos?! Sign me up immediately! And as more details about the project came out, the hype only grew - a story based around music and family, voices by Gael Garcia Bernal and Benjamin Bratt, and some of the most intricate animation the studio has ever attempted.

Well, it didn’t disappoint. And in fact, Coco is full of many beautiful surprises. Beyond the somewhat familiar story of a boy who feels like an outcast and chooses to follow his dreams into a fantastical world, is a much deeper story of sacrifice, regret, memory, and connection. The end result is incredibly moving. The journey is lively and imaginative, full of clever references to Mexican folklore and culture both old and new, which give the filmmakers license to truly run wild with the depiction of the Land of the Dead. It is populated by gorgeous beasts known as spirit guides, stunning architecture, and thousands of uniquely designed skeletons, some of which are cleverly depicted Mexican celebrities. 

They kindly gave all of us a photo card of our films two main characters :)) She also made us cookies !! <33
