B
*Coco*, full of wit, music and color, was listed as one of the best movies in 2018 by Douban, a large Chinese social network. Miguel is a 12-year-old boy in Mexico who wants to become a musician against the wishes of his family. In order to take part in a music competition, Miguel borrows a famous guitar. But he is transported to the Land of the Dead and has a wonderful and amazing adventure. The movie's lovely title *Coco* derives from the name of Miguel's oldest living relative, great-great-grandmother Coco, whose importance to the story only becomes clear late in the movie.
There's a strong family theme in this movie, and it is mainly focused on our experiences of memory and death, which are successfully combined in the theme song, *Remember Me*. This movie has a magic that Pixar hasn't had for a while. And for tears that audiences try hard to hold back, the last five minutes of *Coco* might come to be compared to the opening of *Up*.
Does *Coco* rise to the heights of Pixar's very best work? No. But it is a generous, heartfelt movie, full of color and music, one that highlights the importance of family. Moving and amusing, *Coco* stands out in the Pixar productions as their first truly diverse movie. Let's hope this is only the start of a new wave of animated Hollywood movies, and in the future they can all be as fun as this, or even better.
