Movie Review: Pixar’s Coco, directed by Lee Unkrich
Four Stars
A visually and emotionally pleasing original story about a living boy’s visit to his family in the land of the dead. Sympathetic portrayal of Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos. Warm relationships. Music and family are big themes.
Before taking children to see it, parents may wish to have an age-appropriate discussion about the afterlife. A lot of it is played for laughs, but issues presented may be unsettling to young children.
Maybe grandson would like this. I mention it to him. Really enjoyed The Man Who Invented Christmas – although not a good title. Charles Dickens has 6 weeks to write a story.
