My family has the tradition that every Thanksgiving we go watch the newest Disney movie that has been released. We have kept this tradition going 4 years now and this past year’s movie was probably my favorite. Disney Pixar’s “Coco” was immediately loved by every member of my family. I am not typically a big movie crier, but “Coco” hit me right in all the feels. I laughed, fell in love with the music, adored the characters, and cried not just at one part but multiple. Disney Pixar’s “Coco” is now available on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD, and Disney Movies Anywhere. You can grab your own copy of “Coco” on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on February 27th. My kids have been watching it on repeat nonstop and have loved watching it at home.
“Coco” is about a darling 12-year-old boy named Miguel. He dreams of being a musician and has an exciting adventure in the land of his ancestors to prove his talent. This movie is all about family and the bonds that hold us together. It is such a visually stunning movie to watch. The animation is absolutely amazing, and every time I watch it I notice something different in the land of the ancestors. I also learned so much about Día de los Muertos in Mexico and all of the wonderful traditions around the holiday.
Disney Pixar’s “Coco” won a 2018 Golden Globe Aware for Animated Motion Picture, topped the domestic box office Thanksgiving holiday weekend, became the highest grossing film of all time in Mexico, broke records in China and earned widespread praise, receiving 96 percent from critics and 97 percent from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. I honestly don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this movie.
The music in “Coco” is fantastic and my kids ask to listen to the soundtrack regularly. Their favorites songs are “Remember Me,” and “Un Poco Loco.” The bonus features explore the essential role of music in “Coco” which they considered making the movie a full musical at one point. Enjoy this clip from the bonus features “Día de los Muertos.”
The Blu-ray & Digital is packed with even more great bonus features. The bonus features include:
