Nate H. reviewed Coco (2017)
Review from the comment
Pixar is the best at what they do. They consistently put out quality material and Coco is no exception. This time we have a story of a Mexican boy who longs to pursue his dream of being a musician against the wishes of his family who come from a legacy where music is considered a root of bad things. Pixar deserves a huge pat on the back for bringing in an all Latin cast to fill the roles. With the huge success of Coco, hopefully other studios can follow suit. All that aside, don't miss out on this one. The visuals are gorgeous, the music outstanding, and the story a real heart tugger.
