Coco

Pixar knows it's movies. Pixar also knows how to make people cry, how to touch their hearts and move them, better than many non-animated movies.

The plot isn't all that unpredictable, in fact I was sure of several key elements and many others I guessed might happen and yet still it is a good story. I like that the used Mexican folklore? beliefs? as the basis of this and went and built their world on that. It was cool and refreshing, yet I had so many questions like, if the whole, going to the living world works on the premise of photos being put out then

  • How did their crossing to the living world system work before photography? 
  • What about people of whom there are no photos? Surely they are not all forgotten?
  •  Do paintings work? But there are mostly only paintings of rich people, weren't there? In the older days?
  • How come the whole family hates music so much? I understand the reasons originally, but Coco's great-grandchildren? How were all except one so well persuaded?
  • If Coco remembered and loved his father all along. it seems a biiit unlikely he never told ANYONE of him, but okay
But that aside it was really touching, a cool premise, cool universe and designs. Even if you'll know how the story ends, it's easy to still get involved and there were some surprises even for me.
