這是一部以墨西哥亡靈節為背景的動畫，所以整個故事充滿顏色，音樂，感情，還有歡愉，就不言而喻了。哪怕它的本質上講的其實是一個有點悲傷的故事，但依然以歡樂的角度來講述，這就是《COCO》了。

而《COCO》最精采的地方，就是對於亡靈國的設計了，是令皮克斯的想像力得到充分體現的一個設計，也是本片中最為精采的一個支柱，它讓整個故事變得多姿多彩，又與眾不同。而其中對於“逝者”的一些動作設計，則特別有趣，讓一些普通的舞蹈動作，多了很多令人意外的驚喜。這也是《COCO》最值得一看的地方，和屬於皮克斯的地方。

We are pleased to present last year’s Disney/Pixar hit COCO – winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film – FREE, outdoors, and on TWO nights – in Spanish (Sunday, May 13th) and English (Sunday, May 20th!).

An inspiring, entertaining, and visually mesmerizing animated treat that also took home the Academy Award for Best Song for the unforgettable “Remember Me,” Coco is the story of Miguel, a young boy who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. The problem is, his family has adopted a strict, generations-old ban on music, after his great-great-grandmother had her heart broken by a musician. Desperate to prove his talent, an in defiance of his family, Miguel sneaks out to perform at a music festival – only to find himself lost in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead. After meeting a charming trickster named Héctor, the two new friends embark on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

A dazzling, and emotionally resonant, celebration of Mexico’s Día de Muertos Holiday and tradition, wherein those who are departed are remembered and honored, Coco was an international box office smash, becoming the highest-grossing film in Mexico after less than a month in theaters, and ultimately grossing over $800M worldwide.
