Coco follows a 12-year-old boy named Miguel who sets off a chain of events relating to a century-old mystery, leading to an extraordinary family reunion.

Pixar is back – the bold, creative Coco washes away the bland taste of The Good Dinosaur and Cars 3. While not quite as clever as Inside Out or Wall-E, Coco manages to tell a family-friendly story centered entirely around death, one that reflects on the legacy we leave behind.

But before I sing the film’s praises, I need to rant about the short at the beginning. I’m sure you’ve noticed that Pixar always plays a cute little short before their films, which are always supremely innovative, and sometimes even better than the feature. Well, Coco is preceded by a soulless Frozen spin-off centered around Olaf the irritating snowman. It’s twenty-one minutes long (I felt every second of it), and has, like, fifteen musical numbers, all instantly forgettable.

Even my son, who is a big Frozen fan, kept asking if Coco was actually going to play or if we’d just walked into Frozen 2 by accident. It’s time to let it go Disney (see what I did there?) – even the kids are getting annoyed by Frozen oversaturation.

Anyway, once you make it past the Olaf ordeal, Coco proves to be a pleasant surprise – an emotional, philosophical story of life and death, that despite the gorgeous visuals, doesn’t sugar-coat anything.

Right away, both the importance and the potential danger of respecting one’s heritage is highlighted, and proves to be a poignant theme. Our young protagonist Miguel yearns to play the guitar, but his artistic urges are severely repressed by his family, who hold a bitter grudge against all musicians, passed down through the generations.

The titular Coco is Miguel’s great-grandmother, a beautifully rendered, impossibly ancient creature clinging on to her last days of life, and the scattered remains of her memories. Her father abandoned her to pursue a musical career, and to this day, the family has not forgotten the betrayal.

On Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, Miguel seizes an opportunity to steal a guitar from a deceased ancestor, and is instantly plunged into the afterlife, where he must receive a blessing from said ancestor to return home, and follow his musical passion.
