Coco

What can I say about this movie. It is charming, sweet, entertaining. I really love this movie and am so pleased to find it here, because you can't find it at the stores. The movie brings back great memories of people we miss that are not longer here with us. A wonderful movie. The bright colors, the story , the music, so enchanting. I do not get tired of watching this movie. Is to bring back the family members that are gone but not forgotten. The memories that keep them alive in our hearts.. The wish and hopes we will see them again. That we will be reunited, is not a good bye but until later. The movie have so much traditions and stories that had to be part of my movie collections. This movie tou can watch it in English,Spanish and French. *Esta pelicula tiene la option de verse en en Ingles, Espanol y Frances.* Que pudo decir de esta pelicula?? Que me tiene encantada, pues sus colores, graficas, historia y parte de la cultural en el Dia de Muertos es fascinantes. La he visto muchas veces, pues trae dulces recuerdos. Su musica es increible. No me canso de ver esta pelicula, pues trae recuerdos de aquellas personas que amamos y ya no estan con nosotros. Que aunque ya no esten con nosotros, no estan olvidados. Nos trae ese anhelo de volverlos a ver, que no es un adios si no un hasta luego, pues viven en nuestras memorias y nuestros corazones. Realmente es simplemente dulce y hechizante. Por eso tenia que tenerla en mi coleccion. Esta version si se puede escuchar en Ingles, Espanol y Frances

Absolutely fantastic movie! My child LOVES it and it represents Día de Muertos and Mexican culture respectfully and with love. Great plot and visuals!

I was a little apprehensive because of the price, but now that I watched the movie, I am glad I bought it. Good quality!

Love the characters, music & culture in how the movie was put together. Very touching & heart warming.♥️

Coco is an American animated fantasy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures on November 22, 2017, in the United States, after a limited premier on October 20, 2017 at the Morelia Film Festival. The story follows the adventures of a 12-year-old boy named Miguel. In the village of Santa Cecilia, named for the patron saint of music and the hometown of the most famous musician in all of Mexico, Ernesto de la Cruz, there lived a young woman named Imelda who married Héctor, who eventually left her and their daughter Coco to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. When he never returns, believing he deserted, Imelda banishes music from her family, and she opens a shoe factory. The daughter, Coco, is now the family matriarch, who spans generations and connects everything, managing the business that supports and houses her family and descendants. Coco is Elena's mother, Elena is Enrique's mother, and Enrique is brought up following great-grandmother Imelda’s values and direction, dutifully upholding the family's music ban. Enrique is Miguel's father, Papá, and Luisa is Miguel’s mother, Mamá. Miguel, their 12-year-old son, has a passion for music but must keep it hidden from the family because great-great-grandmother Imelda forbids any notion of music. Even so, he secretly idolizes the deceased musician Ernesto de la Cruz and teaches himself to play guitar by watching Ernesto's old films, intent on pursuing music. Wanting to know more about the musical interests of his great-great-grandfather Héctor, he discovers a photograph that shows his great-great-grandfather Héctor holding Ernesto's famous guitar. Believing this proves Ernesto is his relative, Miguel tells his family he will become a musician. In response, Miguel's grandmother, Elena, destroys his guitar. This leads the distraught Miguel to break into Ernesto's mausoleum and take Ernesto's guitar to use it in a local talent competition. If a human disturbs or steals from a gravesite during Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead, they turn into a spirit and remain trapped in the realm of the Land of Dead if they can't leave by sunrise. Once Miguel strums the guitar, he is transformed into a spirit, invisible to the living people but able to interact with his ghostly dead relatives (who are visiting on the Dìa de Muertos Day of the Dead and have the appearance of "living" skeletons), when the spirits of the dead are allowed to return to the tellurian Land of the Living for one night to celebrate with loved ones. Now thrust into the ethereal realm of the spirit underworld, the Land of the Dead, and fearful of being trapped there if he can't leave by sunrise, Miguel searches for Ernesto de la Cruz and the help of his great-great-grandfather Héctor to reverse his family's ban on music and to return him to the Land of the Living and his family. During this journey to the spirit underworld, Miguel encounters his ancestors and begins to understand where he came from and who he is meant to be, all the while overcoming many perils with the aid of friendly spirits and his ever-watchful animal spirit guardian guides, the Alebrijes, Dante and Pepita. Alebrijes are colorful, spirit animal inhabitants in the ethereal Land of the Dead, having supernatural abilities, able to see spirits and easily move back and forth between the tellurian world of the Land of the Living and the ethereal world of the Land of the Dead, to guide their companions in their journey through the spirit underworld to avoid permanently entering Tierra de los Muertos, the Land of the Dead, the final destination for spirits of the deceased; for their very nearly eternal existence in the ethereal Land of the Dead, the spirits depend on the memories of the living to continue to exist, and fade into oblivion, disappearing into light and dust, when they are no longer remembered. Dante is a very loyal doggie, a stray adopted by Miguel (although in reality it is Miguel who is actually adopted by Dante) to be his friend and companion. Miguel names his new doggie friend Dante after the name of his music idol Ernesto de la Cruz's horse. Dante is a Xolo doggie, a breed named after the ancient mythological Aztec god Xolotl, god of fire, lightning, and death, depicted as a terrifying, frightening, and scary dog. Dante isn't so scary, though he has special powers; he can transform into a fantastical Alebrije spirit guardian guide with bird-like wings and the ability to easily move back and forth between the tellurian world of the Land of the Living and the ethereal world of the Land of the Dead to help Miguel accomplish his quest. Pepita is great-great grandmother Imelda’s pet kitty, who is very protective of her; a very large Maine Coon cat with black stripes in the Land of the Living, and a fantastical chimera Alebrije animal spirit in the Land of the Dead; appearing ferocious and frightening, yet unable to speak and making only animal-like roars and noises, with a lion’s body, tiger face and teeth, ram horns, eagle claw feet and wings, and lizard tail, in stunning, fanciful colors, she is nonetheless intimidating; serving as Imelda's spirit guardian guide in the journey between the Land of the Living and the Land of the Dead; with impressive tracking skills, able to locate Miguel by sniffing the marigold petal Imelda blessed and he touched allowing Pepita to make Miguel's tracks glow a bright blue by breathing on them to track him down; and able to fly carrying more than one person on her back. The story, characters, and music are fascinating, charming, and beautiful; the visuals are artistically unique and amazing, ingeniously contrasting the human and ghostly inhabitants in the tellurian and ethereal worlds, captivatingly colorful and delightful beyond compare; and the moral is a legend that will endure through the ages. What a wonderful story of dreams coming true! With memorable music too! But there is more to this story than simply being an amusing animated musical drama. You will have to pay close attention when you watch this movie. It is intricate and complicated, and its complexities are more than intriguing; they are mysterious — very mysterious. This is a murder mystery! Yes, a murder mystery!

This is my son’s favorite movie. The disc came in perfect condition. Fast and effective shipping. Great purchase overall.

I am 75, of Irish/German descent and I loved this movie. As I watched, I found myself envying those of Latino descent who grew up with this family tradition. My mother came here alone from Ireland in 1923, leaving her family behind. I don't even know what most of them looked like. My father came from the depths of New York City and his relatives are mostly as big of a mystery as the Irish ones - no one seemed to take pictures there either when my father was little. I would love to have all this family tradition, all this care for ancestors and the importance of remembering them, of telling their stories and having a special day set aside for them each year. I did not take care to ask questions about the family when I was younger and now many of the answers are lost - even with Ancestry.com. I cannot seem to interest my children or my grandchildren in those who have gone before. Much like Miguel they do not see the importance of knowing the past. So I hope that as Miguel learns how history repeats itself in Coco, others will learn with him. And aside from the Oscar, and the wonderful animation, the color, the music and the gifted voice performers, I think this is an important film as well.

Sad movie remind me of my grandma
