Coco (2017)


IMDb plot summary: Aspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family's ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer.
Directed by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina. Starring Anthony Gonzalez, Gael GarcĂ­a Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, and Alanna Ubach.

While this movie doesn't connect with me on a personal level the way some of Pixar's others have, it's still a tremendously well-told, moving story, and it still managed to make me cry at the end. The narrative plot points were a little predictable but the characters (especially our main protagonist) are so likable it didn't really matter. Lovely movie.

4 stars.
