But to stick it is front of the main feature and and add 20+ minutes to the runtime is horrible. My daughter kept asking "Mama, when is Coco coming on?" and was fidgeting like crazy and bored BEFORE the main feature even started. We almost had to leave because my daughter can't sit through 2 and a half hours, but she wanted to stay and see the end of the movie. And we were late to an even after because I never imagined that we would be stuck in the theater for so long. Just a bad experience for what was a wonderful movie once it finally started.

My kids asked me twice during the Frozen "short" is we were in the wrong theater.

Just got out. Echoing the sentiments of the Frozen short. We actually got there in time so that we could see it. It was terrible. Made only worse by how good Coco was.

And Coco was awesome. One of the best Pixar efforts IMO. It was gorgeous, well-written, well-paced, the music was fantastic, and it was just all around enjoyable. And like everyone else has said, the last ten minutes was somebody mashing onions into my retinas. Very relatable movie as a person who has a very large and/or close family. And if you have neither of those, it's still a good ass movie overall. Loved it.

Hated the Frozen bit, waaay too long
Never saw the original Frozen
Should have cut 10-15 minutes

Coco was well writen and entertaining given the material

But as a Latino the whole Dia de Las Muertos concept is stupid
Not many of my relatives practice this ritual
It's actually embarassing that people believe this crap
I had to really "open my mind" to the concept

Disney is pulling the Frozen long at the end of the week.

Cross cultural understanding doesn't have to be a club to beat people over the head with, and Pixar wasn't being preachy with this one. They took a narrative spin on an interesting tradition (can't comment on authenticity, have no idea there) and told a story that emphasized why the people that practice it find value in keeping it going. It humanized something foreign to most of us without trying to pat themselves on the back for the non-whiteness of it all, which some people seem to reflexively worry about from either side of the political crap.


Up and Wall-E struck me as having a political-ish agenda, but this one didn't.

The Frozen thing was obviously long, if it were better, none of us should have noticed. An additional 20 minutes of run time in a movie that a lot of small kids are going to see is going to hurt the experience for a lot of people. Disney fouled up on that one. My little chimps are 7 and 10, so no big deal for us, apart from it just not being anything special.

Sorry staff

Just got back from watching it. Still have lumps in my throat, doesn't help that the little boy looks like 8 year old me.

Also, HATED the stupid Frozen short. Will not be seeing the second one as I didn't really get the hype for the first one.

Better than Star Wars

I saw Coco and Ferdinand back to back last Thusday. Onions were strong on both of them at the end. Both better than Star Wars, which I saw last night. Coco may be top 2 or 3 Pixar films I've ever seen. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

We saw it last week as well and really enjoyed it. Both my kids 6 & 2 1/2 did well considering it's length. I'm glad we waited to see it until after they pulled the frozen short.

I wish we had a pixar short skit instead of frozen

What's the deal with this Frozen short?

I really enjoyed Coco. Thought is was very good.

took my 2 year old to this as her first ever movie theater trip. she was wide eyed the entire time, memorized. She didn't say a word the entire movie. I thought it was really great as well.

We had planned to take our 2 year old yesterday but she came down with the flu, so may be waiting to stream this one

Great movie

Late to the party, but took the kids to the matinee today. We all really enjoyed it, one of Pixar's best for sure.

I went to see it in the theater by myself. The teenager had no interest in going, and I needed to burn my last vacation day.

Just thinking about that day makes me cry. Perhaps because it reminds me of my grandparents, or the whole culture thing be relatable. It was a beautiful movie.

Streamed it last week. Enjoyed it. It wast an up or a wall-e.

I don't understand how anyone could have an issue with this movie or the traditions shown.

The idea of a second death when no one remembers you is pretty common in non Abrahamic religion based cultures.

Solid, solid movie. Pixar is a rock steady studio for turning out great movies.

I thought it was average. Cars 2 level.

I honestly have no idea what gripe there could be about Up having an agenda.

...and Coco was magnificent!

The party balloon lobby. Those manipulative mofos.

I just saw this movie. It's absolutely beautiful both visually and from a story standpoint.

I cannot believe this movie didn't even get nominated for Best Picture. Especially with that field of totally forgettable, mediocre movies. The ****ing Shape of Water wins, and this movie didn't even get nominated... what a joke.

The Academy needs to get over itself. The best movie should win. Regardless if its animated or about a super hero, or whatever.

Finally saw it.

It was okay. Not great.
