Our take on Coco

Pixar's 2017 triumph follows young Miguel into the dazzling Land of the Dead to uncover his family's musical secret on Día de los Muertos. Vibrant, joyous and quietly devastating about memory and family, it earns its tears honestly. If its colour, music and heart moved you, the great Pixar films and culturally rich animated adventures share its blend of spectacle and deep feeling about the people we carry with us.
