Coco (2017)


COCO  (2017)  
¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina
An animated fantasy from Disney/Pixar about a Mexican boy who longs to be a musician like his great-great-grandfather. Defying his family's wishes - they've all disowned their musical heritage and become shoemakers - he ends up in the afterlife on the Day of the Dead, trying to patch things up with his deceased relatives and somehow get back to his living ones. It's a dazzling eyeshow, a story told with humor, imagination and an underlying respect for the culture it's drawing from. On Oscar winner for best animated feature. Watch it with your kids.
