“Dimple, no dimple.”

¡Hola, hispanohablantes! Coco (2017) is a movie that seeps and overflows with emotion, and not for nothing. The various departments of this film’s production pooled their talents to create a magical world with a heart-wrenching story at its center. Mexican culture serves the story in every facet, from technical aspects like plot devices to performative aspects like the songs and score. Coco is beautiful beyond description, in visuals and in writing, and it’s one of the best examples of what Pixar Animation Studios is capable of.
