Having not read too deep into the plot before starting the movie, I didn’t know what to expect.
When the delightful, colorful, and highly emotional Pixar film appeared on Netflix the following year, I immediately put it on for my kids.
Sure, the trailers and promotional material showed some great Mexican Day of the Dead-inspired art direction and musical numbers, but I had no idea it would affect me the way it did.
I really wanted to see Coco when it was first released in theaters in November 2017, but taking a young toddler and a newborn baby to movie is just something that I will never do (I wish more people were like this).
