Coco
"Coco" takes us on a heartfelt journey into the vibrant world of Mexican culture, centering on a young boy named Miguel Rivera. Although Miguel dreams of becoming a musician like his idol - Ernesto de la Cruz - music has been forbidden in his family for generations due to a past incident involving his great-great-grandfather abandoning his wife and daughter to pursue a career in music.
On the Day of the Dead, a traditional Mexican holiday when families remember their deceased loved ones, Miguel accidentally finds himself in the Land of the Dead. There, he encounters his deceased relatives and sets out on a quest to find his great-great-grandfather and receive his blessing to pursue music.
Through stunning animation, vibrant visuals, and captivating musical score, "Coco" immerses viewers in the rich tapestry of Mexican raditions and folklore, celebrating the power of family and the eternal bonds that transcend life and death. It has received critical acclaim and become a beloved addition to the Pixar library as one of the best ghostly comedy movies, leaving a lasting impact on viewers of all ages.
