✔ Introduction
Hello Friends, I hope you are doing fine and are having a good time on bitlanders. Today I have come up again with my new blog with the title of "Hollywood Movie Review - Coco". Friends, this blog is about a recently released Hollywood 3D Computer Animated and Fantasy Film Genres movie "Coco". The story of the movie is based on a boy who aspires to be a great musician just like one of the most famous musicians in his country of Mexico who was also among his ancestors. However, he has to face a lot of challenges because Music is something which is not allowed in his family. This movie was directed by Lee Unkrich and was produced by Darla K. Anderson. The screen play for the movie was written by Adrian Molina along with Matthew Aldrich and the movie was produced under the supervision of Pixar Animation Studios along with Walt Disney Pictures, an American Film Studio and Production Company.

Being simultaneously life-affirming and death-obsessed is a tough act for any film to pull off, but Coco manages it. This might start bringing Pixar studios back from the dead. I’d feared the worst from this movie’s Mexican Day of the Dead trope, expecting a tiresome parade of sub-Halloweeny horror masks under a sombrero of cliches. Actually, it’s an engaging and touching quest narrative, with some great spectacle, sweet musical numbers and on-point stuff about the permeability of national borders.
Coco is conceived on classic lines, certainly, but has that rarest of things in movies of any sort – a real third act and an interesting ending. It has something to say about memory and mortality and how we think about the awfully big adventure waiting for us all, which finally incubated an unexpectedly stubborn lump in my throat. This film has a potency that Pixar hasn’t had for a while, and for suppressed tears, the last five minutes of Coco might come to be compared to the opening montage of Up.

✔ Movie Plot And Review
The movie begins with a little boy Miguel who lives in Mexico with his family. His passion is to become a famous musician in the world but the problem is that music is considered a taboo in his house and is strictly forbidden. It is so, not because of any religious or cultural reasons but because of Miguel's great-great-grandmother Imelda's disliking for the music. Actually, Imelda had a sad past as her husband also wanted to be a musician and he left his family which included Imelda and his daughter Coco for music and never returned home; therefore, Imelda did not have any interest in music and she never allowed it inside her house. In the present time, Miguel lives with his great grand-mom Coco and this family has a big name in shoe-making because Imelda had made it their family business in her life. Miguel has special interest in music and his favorite music star is Ernesto de la Cruz who is considered to be one of the most popular singer and actor in the recent past belonging to the generation in which Coco is included.

He feels that Ernesto de la Cruz was his great-great-grandfather, therefore, his ambitions to follow his footsteps increase to a higher level. To pursue his dreams, he joins a talent show for the "Day of the Dead" despite his family's objections. He manages to get hold of the Ernesto's guitar from his mausoleum but, as a kind of punishment, he becomes invisible. He can only be seen by his dog and the skeletal dead relatives who were there to visit Land of the Dead to spend their holiday. Since he stole the guitar from the dead, he shall have to receive one blessing before sunrise from a member of his family to get rid of the curse placed on him for stealing Ernesto's guitar; otherwise, Miguel shall become one of the dead.

Nevertheless, Miguel comes to know that Hector is actually his great-great-grandfather and he could not return to Imelda because of Ernesto.
