Pixar has been making movies since 1995. They are best known for making the “Toy Story” series, “Finding Nemo” and “The Incredibles.” There is no doubt that they can make great movies for people of all ages, but recently they seem to have been lacking. “Cars 2” and “Cars 3” weren’t very good, “Brave” was kind of boring, and it seems like they were starting to forget how to make a one-of-a-kind movie. But alas, "Coco" was created. Pixar found its golden child to lift them back up to the very top once again.

Pixar likes to aim their movies to younger people and that isn’t a problem. I’m a 21-year-old male who loves sports, so you’d think I wouldn’t be writing about Pixar movies, but they are normally very good. It took me a few months to go watch "Coco," but I am very glad I did.

The premise of the movie is this: Miguel is a young Mexican boy who has an innate ability to play music. His family bans any form of music because his great great Grandfather left the family to go play music. Miguel finds a special connection between himself and Mexico’s most beloved musician Ernesto de la Cruz. On El Dia de Los Muertos, Miguel finds himself stuck in the Land of the Dead. This place is filled with people who have died, and what the afterlife is like for these people. While there, Miguel meets a skeleton named Hector, and with his help, finds out the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

My description doesn’t do enough justice though. The colors are extraordinary, vibrant, and everywhere. There isn’t a single dull moment throughout the film. "Coco" does a great job of sending multiple messages to its viewers.

One main message is all about Mexican culture. For those of you who have never taken a Spanish class, “El Dia de Los Muertos” is translated to “The Day of the Dead.” In its simplest explanation, El Dia de Los Muertos is a celebration of the family and friends we have lost. This is a huge day in Mexican culture where almost every person celebrates. The dead are enshrined and are said to take part in the celebration of their lives with the living on this day. "Coco" dives right into this with their colorful graphics and truthful storytelling.

"Coco" also explains the importance of family, and just how important forgiveness is to your family. Miguel goes through the Land of the Dead to find out what his family is really about, and why he loves music so much.

This movie will ring through every bone in your body with great music, strong emotions, and vibrant colors.

You’ll laugh, cry, and feel warm inside when you understand the meaning of the movie.

The movie throws in curveballs that were never seen and blows you away with creativity.

Pixar reached another level of storytelling with this movie. It is so multidimensional and moving that you’ll feel on top of the world. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you are seriously missing out. It opens your eyes to culture throughout the world and really makes you love your own family. I’ve seen hundreds of movies in my lifetime, and the messages that this movie sends is almost impossible to replicate.

It truly is the best-animated movie I’ve ever seen, and easily beats out “Toy Story” in my opinion. Go buy the movie now and enjoy two great hours of storytelling that I know you haven’t seen before.
