When those animation films comes under the banner of Disney and Pixar Studios, the craze will be at it's peak. They usually comes with a simple plot and fulfill us with a quality making. With the same formula, they come with another interesting film in this year named 'COCO'.
Miguel character was sketched in a very good manner. That character made a strong impact with his funny and emotional acts. Hector character was sketched as a supporting role. Later, that character came up with an interesting and unexpected twist. Ernesto de la Cruz character was sketched as a famous musician and played a major role in the storyline. But the character had a great role towards the climax of the film. The characters who came in 'The Land of Dead' portions really had a great stronger characterisation and made us entertained. The plot is so simple. But the creativeness in presenting this simple script in a very entertaining manner along with some family emotions was really superb. The story revolves around Mexico. So many Mexico references and songs were used, which looked nice throughout the film. The animation techniques were really mindblowing and looked so colourful throughout the film. Especially, the animation handled in 'The Land of Dead' portions were very superb. The background score was also nice, which gave a soul to the film. In the beginning, the film had a small intro about the family generation of Miguel and added the reason behind the hatred of music. After that film, the film traveled in a normal track for some minutes. The director didn't take too much in revealing the main plot. From that scene, the screenplay was handled in a very good manner. There was an equal balance for both fun and emotional elements. This is the biggest positive in the film. The director didn't make the audience bored even for a second. The explanations were really understandable and convincing. The small twist towards the climax was unexpected. At that point, the screenplay gets more stronger. It made the audience to watch the film in a great interest. The climax portion was really stunning and also made the audience to get into the deep emotions. But the climax portion can be easily predicted. Even though the impact of the emotions was stronger, we have seen the same in many language movies. But still, the presentation of this simple plot will really make us connected with the film. Finally, we will come out of the theatre in a very fulfilled manner.
Verdict - The plot is very simple. Still, the presentation of this script was really entertaining and emotional to the core. Neglect the small flaws and watch 'COCO'. You will really love this film to the core. It deserves a special place in your hearts.
