The latest Pixar film, Coco, earned raves from audiences over the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend. But tons of Twitter users negatively react over Disney’s 21-minute “short” Olaf’s Frozen Adventure that plays before Coco. Mainly, because it’s too long and for Disney’s self-promotion as Frozen 2 is out in Nov. 2019. So, the company will remove the ‘Frozen’.

Top critics reviews:
Of every Pixar film that deals with family, memory, and loss, ask, “Is there sufficient reason for the tears that will inevitably run down my face by the end?” Yes, thanks in no small part to the ingenious use of De La Cruz’s hit song, “Remember Me.”
Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader
This engaging Pixar animation plays magnificently with elements of Mexican folklore and fine art.

Family is a number one priority
In Coco, these centre around family, death and the loss of loved ones. The movie is a magnificent celebration of family and love. The importance of family and warm relationships is colorfully pictured. Moreover, it teaches to take care of one another, pass down legacies of those who are no longer with us, and keep their memory alive.

Mexican culture
Mexican spirit is #1 feature in Coco that makes the movie authentic in the world of animation that is predominantly white.
First of all, all the events set on Mexico’s Day of the Dead, which is quite unknown for other cultures. Another issue the film is showing is a unique Mexican literature, many fantastical folk creatures, an iconic Mexican ballad.

Humor
The storytelling is full of really funny jokes making it one of Pixar’s funniest movies. Coco is very emotional, it will make you laugh and cry. Despite the ending is pretty obvious and expected, a few tears would naturally be evoked.
