Coco Now on Digital, Coming to Blu-ray + Giveaway

By

Imagine my surprise when I took my family to the theater to see Coco and we during the movie both myself and my 8 year old son are ugly crying, including a few stares from people sitting nearby. This movie was so touching, so beautiful (visually and emotionally) and had such an important message that it sent half the theater into crying sobs.

Disney Pixar have really been bringing their A game lately. Coco is an incredible movie and I’m so excited that my family now owns it!! My family is big on family history, but Coco makes me really want to kick it up a notch.

In Disney•Pixar’s “Coco,” Pixar Animation Studios’ 19th feature film, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt)—despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Héctor (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

This movie is packed with extras for hours of more entertainment and insight into the movie. I think it’s really cool!

    I saw Coco in theaters with my family. We loved it! One of my favorite parts was when Miguel’s grandma offered Miguel more tamales since he is so thin and he said no thanks at first so his grandma asked again in a slightly angry tone. He changed his reponse to yes and she replied, “That’s what I thought you said,” and she piles a bunch on his plate happily. Very relatable lol

    We havent’ seen Coco yet because it is hard for my family to get to the theater. My youngest is only 3 1/2 and the last and first time for him to the theater went okay, but not great so we haven’t been back, which means we have to wait to see films until they come our on dvd/bluray. My daughter (oldest) is very excited about seeing Coco sometime soon.
