Coco: A vibrant celebration of family and memory

Released in 2017, Coco is a Pixar and Disney animated masterpiece that immerses viewers in the colorful and moving world of Día de los Muertos, the Mexican festival of the dead. The film follows Miguel, a young boy with a passion for music, who finds himself accidentally transported to the realm of the ancestors. To find his way back to the world of the living, he must unravel his family's secrets and discover the true story of his great-great-grandfather, a mysterious musician.

One of Coco's strong points is its stunning visual aesthetic, where the world of the dead comes to life through an explosion of color, light and enchanting detail. The story explores profound themes of transmission, memory and the importance of family roots, all supported by an unforgettable soundtrack. The poignant, emotionally-charged song Remember Me (Recuérdame in Spanish) has gained instant cult status, reinforcing the film's message about the importance of never forgetting those who came before us.
