My Thoughts On Coco:

I absolutely loved this movie. When I put it on to watch with the kids, I had no idea how much I would be drawn into the storyline. At one point my husband looked at me and marveled at how much he was enjoying it, he thought it was just a kids movie. We were both so wrong. Halfway through the movie, we were all glued to the television, enjoying to storytelling and culture of Mexico. There are so many great things you can learn from this movie. We were able to talk to our children about the culture of the people of Mexico. It also gave us the chance to talk about our relatives who had passed and how we planned to honor and remember them.

I really loved the importance family played in Coco, and it was another conversation point for us to have with our children. I don’t even know when or what caused the tears that formed in my eyes while watching this film, but it was just beautiful to watch. This is a great choice for a family movie. Aside from the triggers of losing a loved one, it’s a nice way to learn about another culture and maybe even add to your own family traditions.

The Blu-ray is packed with so many great bonus scenes. I really liked looking at the deleted scenes. They were funny to watch. I also really enjoyed looking at the featurette ‘A Thousand Words A Day’. To be able to see them document their journey and seeing the people who celebrate this holiday made it even more special. We spent a whole day exploring all the bonus content.
