Coco is officially released by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, featuring Mexican culture and the Día de los Muertos festival.
Coco wins Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the 90th Academy Awards.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
