Yes, Pixar Animation Studios has done it again -- their latest release,
Coco (2017), is not only a return to form, but also manages to be their
best feature yet. From 1995 all the way up until 2010, Pixar knocked it
out of the park with every release, save for Cars (2006) and maybe A
Bug's Life (1998). However, after Cars 2 (2011), it seems every release
of theirs has been bad or mediocre, except of course for 2015's
extraordinary Inside Out (2015). Luckily, Coco (2017) manages to be the
second great Pixar movie since Toy Story 3 (2010), and hopefully a
return to form for good this time. All I will divulge about the plot is
that it follows a boy named Miguel and his dog traveling into the Land
of the Dead. From there, the story takes you to startling visual,
entertainment, and emotional heights that no Pixar movie, no kids'
movie, and very few "adult" movies have ever taken you. Yes, this is
even more emotional than Up (2009) and Inside Out (2015) -- both of
those films moved me to tears, but never hit me as hard as this one
did. It touched something deep within my soul, and unlike most
emotional films where my eyes will water a bit, in this one I began to
openly weep. It was an emotional catharsis like I've never experienced
before. Aside from the poignant elements, the film also manages to be
enormously entertaining, with exhilarating sequences that reaches
levels of fun Pixar hasn't reached since Monsters, Inc (2001) and The
Incredibles (2004). They use the visually gorgeous Land of the Dead
they have created to their full advantage, to provide a rollicking
adventure that combines imagination and entertainment brilliantly. The
other thing I should mention is the score, which is, by far, the best
Pixar score I have ever had the pleasure of listening to -- yes, even
better than Finding Nemo's (2003), Up's (2009), and Inside Out's
(2015). I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise, considering this
is the most musical movie Pixar has ever created, but nevertheless was
one of the many, many memorable aspects. In Conclusion, my favorite
Pixar movies up until this point have been Toy Story (1995), Finding
Nemo (2003), The Incredibles (2004), WALL-E (2008), and Up (2009), with
Monsters, Inc. (2001), Ratatouille (2007), Toy Story 3 (2010), and
Inside Out (2015) not far behind. I have been disappointed by their
seemingly endless sequels this decade, and by the fact that even their
originals (Brave (2012) and The Good Dinosaur (2015)) have been okay at
best. Even Inside Out (2015), though I love it, is still better at
delivering an important message to children than it is being its own
story. But with Coco (2017), Pixar has nailed it. It brought me back to
childhood nostalgia of watching Pixar classics like Finding Nemo (2003)
and Toy Story (1995); the fun, the adventure, the laughs, and the
tears. This is what a Pixar movie should be, this is what a kids' movie
should me, this is what any movie should be, and it is truly one of my
favorite movies of all time.

It is NOT a comedy!
Rating: 1/10
The truth may be hard to cope with, but... Coco is a drama. If you're a
genuine movie-lover it is impossible not to shed a tear (or buckets of
tears) when you watch this "opus". The plot is non existent, the
directing is non existent and the acting is even worse. Some may argue
that Gad Elmaleh wanted the audience to laugh. I don't think so. This
man has got talent and it's impossible to admit that anything may be
funny in this film. Let me tell you the truth... Mr Elmaleh is sick of
the cinema industry, so he has made a movie which is a statement about
the state of dereliction of the filmmakers in France. He wanted us to
cry about that long lost past, when French films were done by people
like Renoir, Prevert, Truffeau etc. Today, we must be aware of this
very sad reality: French cinema is dead. Thank you Mr Elmaleh for this
ultimate proof of yours. From now on we will mourn our "Paradis Perdu".
