A truly colourful and expressive vision of Mexican culture 'Coco' aims high and always seems to exceed it's grasp all the while keeping focused on a compelling story that is filled with pure emotion. Unsurprisingly the animation is exceptional, but this film really does raise the value of what filmmakers can do with animation, every detail is there in glorious color with exquisite clarity and what colour there is, this film is the most colourful film I have ever seen.
The voice acting in this film is superb, especially from the leading young voice actor Anthony Gonzalez. The music is the driving focus of this story and Michael Giacchino's score and the musical soundtrack doesn't disappoint, the music and songs in this film really make it feel as if the film is leaping from the screen. I believe that 'Coco' is Pixar's most emotional film yet, trying to hold back the tears is a challenge for any grown adult, never mind children.
The only minor problem I have with this film is that they are one or two plot holes, but describing them would go into spoiler territory.
'Coco' is a fantastic film which is a heart warming and spiritual experience which will give both children and adults a new perspective on life and death, the virtues of passion and the value of family.
Rating: 9/10
