Coco is a Spanish-language movie that tells the story of Miguel, a young boy from a family of shoemakers who dreams of becoming a musician. When he accidentally finds himself in the Land of the Dead, he teams up with a charming trickster named Hector to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary musician, and learn the truth about his family’s past.
I remember watching Coco for the first time and being immediately captivated by its colorful and vibrant animation, catchy music, and heartwarming story. As the movie progressed, I found myself emotionally invested in the characters and their journey.
One of the most emotional scenes in the movie for me was when Miguel sings the song “Remember Me” to his great-grandmother Coco, who has dementia and struggles to remember her past. As Miguel sings, the memories of her father, who was a musician, flood back to her, and she joins in on the song. The scene was incredibly touching, and I couldn’t help but shed a tear.
The movie also explores themes of family, tradition, and the power of music to connect people across generations. As someone who comes from a family with a strong cultural heritage, I related to the importance of honoring and preserving traditions while also pursuing one’s dreams and passions.
My Verdict on the movie:
Coco was an incredibly emotional and touching movie that left a lasting impact on me. It reminded me of the power of storytelling and how movies can touch our hearts and connect us to our own experiences and emotions.

It’s wonderful to see how a movie like “Coco” can touch people on a personal level and remind us of the importance of honoring our cultural heritage while also pursuing our dreams.
We’ve watched Coco at least 50 times in my house. It’s my daughter’s favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it.
This movie really did me in! It was funny, musical and so, so sad. The ending really gets me (no spoilers!).
I remember Coco. We also watched this movie and loved it. I also liked that it touched on things like dementia and how it affects family members. Overall, a very good movie and a thumbs up from me as well!

Aaawww….I would love to watch Coco. Dreams are good to have around; I like that this movie speaks of that, too. I’ll save for the holiday, this weekend.
Your movie reviews are the best. The fact that this Coco Spanish film had such an impact on you, I must watch this xx
We saw Coco when it came to Disney+ or Netflix, and it was really good! Our whole family enjoyed the tale.
My oldest son loves music. I think we will try to watch Coco on Easter weekend. I`m sure we will have a good time. Thank you for the suggestion.
Maybe because I have no connection like that to my family that I did not respond to Coco the way everyone else does. But I do know friends who connected really hard to it and reminded them of their moms, dads or another family who passed.
I am very interested in watching Coco. It’s been on Disney Plus, but I ignore it. Im watching it later in the evening.
Such a beautiful and emotional movie. I loved it and I learned a lot of things from this movie such as the value of family. It’s a great reminder to all of us how important family is.
My kids all love this movie. I love the culture and family behind the story.
This movie was such an emotional journey to watch, my kids and I really enjoyed it. It had a good story line, the songs were good and it was an overall well put together movie.
One of our favorite movies to watch with the kids! They love it so much!
Coco beautifully captures the essence of family, tradition, and music. The touching ‘Remember Me’ scene left me in tears. An unforgettable, heartwarming film.
