Pixar has raised the animation bar again, with its most musical — and arguably most magical — film yet. If this is the afterlife we’re all headed to, don’t fear the reaper. Read full review

At every imaginative juncture, the filmmakers (the screenplay is credited to Pixar veteran Molina and Matthew Aldrich) create a richly woven tapestry of comprehensively researched storytelling, fully dimensional characters, clever touches both tender and amusingly macabre, and vivid, beautifully textured visuals.

If an animated movie is going to offer children a way to process death, it’s hard to envision a more spirited, touching and breezily entertaining example than Coco. Read full review

The vividness of the narrative never quite matches the riotous swirl of color and culture on screen — and neither do the songs, sadly, for how central they are to the story. Instead, Coco settles into something gentler but still irrefutably sweet: a movie that plays safe with the status quo, even as it breaks with it. Read full review

If Coco doesn’t quite reach the highest level of Pixar masterpieces, it plays a time-tested tune with captivating originality and flair, and with roving, playful pop-culture erudition. Read full review

Michael Phillips

Too often Coco mistakes chaos and calamity for comedy, and it’s a little perverse to prevent this particular story from becoming a full-on animated musical. Read full review

It’s so respectful that vibrancy suffers. Coco is a bright pinata of a movie that breaks and nothing falls out. Read full review

I loved this so much and it made me very emotional, I got tearful multiple times. Every pixel is a delight to look at, you don't want to look away. I didn't know much about the beliefs beforehand, but I've really learned something from watching Coco about how the afterlife is viewed.

I didn't know much about the beliefs beforehand, but I've really learned something from watching Coco about how the afterlife is viewed. The music was beautiful and I've been listening to the soundtrack since watching, "Remember Me' is my favourite track. The story was very predictable from the beginning, it was probably one of the most predictable storylines. However, a younger audience probably wouldn't be able to predict it anyway. I've watched enough Pixar films to predict how they end.… Expand

Couldn't get into the characters or the story. I usually love Pixar films but I had to turn this one off half way through because I was so bored. One of the weakest Disney Pixar films in my opinion.
