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 colorful 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.
Pixar doesn't do bad movies. That streak continues with Coco although this was easily their toughest sell to date. They really went all in with hispanic heritage and did an excellent job of bringing it to a mainstream audience. The story about the importance of family was beyond heartfelt. Everything related the Day Of The Dead was excellently done and you are totally hooked by the voyage of the little boy.
I would absolutely recommend people checking this out. It was a very well done movie but what else is new for Pixar.
