Another animated gem from Pixar that will enchant anyone with a pulse. In rural Mexico, young Miguel (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of playing the guitar, an act his family of shoemakers forbids. Through a series of accidents, Miguel lands up in the mythical Land of the Dead, where he meets his long-departed relatives and a slick-talking musician (Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal)<\/span>,<\/span> who helps him piece together the past. The pallet of colors employed here is sumptuous<\/span>,<\/span> and the overall visuals are dazzling. This feast is complemented by a heart-warming appreciation for elders, represented by Miguel\u2019s great-grandmother, whose silence hides a past that Miguel\u2019s investigative skills and love unlock. Yet what makes <\/span>Coco <\/span><\/i>a true family film is how both the older and younger generations learn and benefit from each other, whether it\u2019s Miguel celebrating his country\u2019s musical roots or his relatives learning to embrace their past through Miguel\u2019s sheer determination to be heard. <\/span>Coco<\/span><\/i> proves, again, that Pixar\u2019s filmmakers remain unparalleled at achieving an emotional resonance to go with artistic grandeur. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another animated gem from Pixar that will enchant anyone with a pulse.
