Coco (2017) Movie Review 🎦😊👍

I've been saving the movie 'Coco', which has been reviewed by many people, and finally I watched it on Christmas. After all, animations about family love are perfect for Christmas.

Until I saw the movie, I thought this little boy was Coco. It must have been because of the image emanating from the cute name. But Coco was the name of this old woman Hoho. I'm very surprised.

This story is based on Mexican culture and customs. It is said that if the living do not remember the dead, the dead who have gone to the afterlife will disappear completely, and they will cease to exist even in the afterlife. So Mexicans try to remember their deceased family for a long time.

Miguel's great-grandmother, Coco, had her mother and father. The two love each other, but their father, who loves singing, leaves her mother and little Coco left behind, saying that one day he will sing it to many people.
In order to make a living with her Coco, her mother learned the art of shoemaking along with her cunning, and she succeeded in making it into her family business. Both Miguel's parents are now in the shoe business.

Miguel's grandmother, who took away her grandmother Coco, was a decisive opponent of anyone in her family playing music. Miguel admires the legendary musician Della Cruz. He is a singer who sang the song 'Remember Me' that appears frequently in this movie. Everyone remembers his song and life, and has built a monument to him in the cemetery to commemorate him.

Worried about Miguel going out to the square and being deceived by people who keep singing, the grandmother warns him to focus only on taking care of his ancestors. Still, Miguel, who loves singing, always liked to sing alone while watching Della Cruz tapes in secret places.

Although it is an animation, it is expressed in detail as if it were really playing the guitar, so while watching the movie, it feels like a child named Miguel can play the guitar and sing well, and I fall in love with it. Miguel accidentally drops a family photo of his great-grandmother Coco while he hides his guitar under the altar where his ancestors' photos are placed.

Also, in the photo of Coco's family, he finds out that Coco's father, who played music, has the torn side of the face folded. When Miguel opened the fold, he was surprised. It is that Dela Cruz, whom he admires, was Coco's father, that is, Miguel's great-great-grandfather.

Then, one day, when the grandmother realizes that Miguel is about to go to a singing contest in the square, she smashes Miguel's guitar. Angry Miguel runs out of the house, and without a guitar he can't enter a singing contest, so he goes to Dela Cruz's Tower in the cemetery and tries to steal his guitar.

And magical things happen. Miguel was seen by the dead and invisible to the living.
And on this day, the dead crossed the bridge from the underworld to the next and came to meet the living people who remembered them.

So Miguel meets all of his ancestors.
However, they hear from their dead ancestors that only Coco's mother, Miguel's great-grandmother, is unable to cross the bridge because Miguel broke a photo of Coco's family from the altar and brought the photo.

Together with his ancestors, he solves the problems of his great-great-grandmother, and Miguel himself crosses the underworld bridge to return as a human again. He is a talkative and con artist named Hector whom he meets there. This person is also Della Cruz's friend. It is said that the living people did not remember him, so he has never crossed the bridge to the underworld and went to visit his family.

The great-grandmother, who he barely met, said he would send Miguel to another world on condition that Miguel stopped playing music. In order for him to meet Dela Cruz he must be invited to his party, in order to receive an invitation he must win first place in the Underworld Singing Contest.

The movie was made with really fresh material. I already know that the technology of animation is high-level recently, but I was surprised at the sophistication of the animation because it was tthe Musical animation I had seen in a long time.

Besides, what I was curious about before seeing the movie was that the main character was Miguel, and why was the title 'Coco'? I found out while watching the movie, lol.

It's a children's animation, but it was very surprising that the story unfolded in a very exciting way with repeated twists and turns.
The music throughout the movie was also very good, but especially 'Remember Me' was very good to listen to even though it appeared frequently. And finally, when that song came out, tears came pouring out without a hitch.

'Coco', a movie that makes you look back on the love of your family at Christmas, is a movie you can talk about while watching it with your family.
