Really good movie, contender for best movie in 2017 in my opinion. Great story and plot, excellent voice acting,beautiful CGI, and an ending that is a real tear-jerker. Finally, it nails it on the head with its aesthetics of Dia de Muertos (day of the dead). With its disappointment of Cars 3, glad to see Pixar still has it when creating memorable movies like this that will end up as classics.

10/10 for me personally, and I don't usually give this rating out.

If I were to nitpick on something I dislike, it would have to be that it doesn't make any sense how Miguel traveled to the land of the dead unless of course I'm missing something and someone can answer it for me (using spoiler tags of course).

Did they actually get latinos for the roles?

I read that Pixar went out of their way to find Hispanic voice actors/actresses for the film to give it some authenticity. Not sure if all the VA are Mexican though.

All in English, with sprinkles of Spanish to add flavor. Though they don't expect it to be a Musical like Frozen or Moana.

If I ever get the Blu Ray I'll check it out. I'm curious about how they sound in English.

Very different. Coco is just miles better than "The Book of Life". Though I do have to compliment on the Book of Life on its animation on the wooden figures as it was also pretty well animated.

Everyone spoke in English really well, though I do have a friend from Mexico and he said he preferred watching it in Spanish than in English (he watched the movie with me) because there's a lot of Spanish jokes that didn't translate that well in English.

Yeah, it was absolutely fantastic, can't wait to see it in Spanish because I feel like it'll be even better.

No, you were good. I stand corrected.
I'm Colombian and that's how it's said there, but in Mexico you say it Da de Muertos.

Edit: Worst thing about Spanish is that every country has their own words and phrases that can mean completely different things depending where you are.

Funny enough I just texted my friend about it and texted me back "callate gringo" (even though I keep telling him I'm 3/4 asian and only 1/4 white). I speak Vietnamese, and even then there are different dialects in how we say certain sentences and words (north and south kind of deal), so I understand lol.

Yeah, I cringed when I saw this was going to be the mini before Coco. But it ended up being better than what I expected it would be, though it felt a little long for a mini.

Yeah, that was pretty obvious to us cause we learn about that in history class, so we knew Dante was going to be important.

Also, I didn't know Colombians had a Day of the Dead celebration. That's cool.
