Reunited and it Feels So Good

Earlier this month we had the opportunity to attend and advance screening to Disney Pixar’s COCO.  We had to wait until the opening weekend to tell you all about it, and now that it’s here we want to ensure you know how much we enjoyed this movie.

This adventure takes Miguel to the “Land of Your Ancestors” to discover his family’s legendary musical past.

COCO: Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colourful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history. Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”), Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” opens in theatres on Nov. 22, 2017.

We loved this movie.  The way the “Land of Your Ancestors” had such a different look than the scenes taking place in the present was just one of the fantastic highlights. There were lots of comedic moments, transformations throughout the film and beautiful music that had you swaying in your seat.

 

This film will have you looking forward to your next family gathering. With the holiday season upon us, COCO will have you looking forward to creating memories with your family and perhaps it will even have you planning a family reunion or Day of the Dead celebration!
