Coco (Cinema Review) – Pixar takes us into the Mexican Day of the Dead

January 16, 2018 By George Elcombe Leave a Comment

Starring: Anthony Gonzalez, Gael Garcia Bernal, Benjamin Bratt
Director: Lee Unkrich
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: January 19th 2018 (UK)

Pixar have an amazing track record for producing excellent films that are both commercial successes and critically praised. As I write this I haven’t seen a film released by them that I would consider bad, and this sets them apart from all the other studios producing computer animated films.

One reason for Pixar’s strength is the fearlessness of creating unique worlds and telling self-contained stories without the desire to build franchises. Yes, I know that a few of their films have spawned sequels (and a prequel), but unlike a lot of studios in general they take their time with each project and spend it developing the story at its heart. As such one of my most anticipated films of 2018 is The Incredibles 2, and as long as Pixar continue not to rush their projects in order to reach release dates, then I welcome all of their future films with open arms.

New Coco UK Trailer – The Land of the Dead beckons in Pixar’s new movie!

November 20, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Just ahead of its US release on Wednesday, Disney-Pixar’s Coco has become the highest-grossing film of all time in Mexico after only 19 days at the box office. The filmmakers will certainly be pleased, as the whole thing is a bit of a love letter to Mexican culture.

“The story of Coco is inspired by Mexico’s people, cultures and traditions,” says director Lee Unkrich. “The people of Mexico made us think about our own families, our own histories and how that makes us who we are today. We are grateful for the opportunities afforded to us, and we can honestly say we are different people as a result of our experiences.”

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

‘Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”).’

The movie will be out in the UK on January 18th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

New Coco Trailer – The Land of the Dead beckons in Pixar’s new movie!

September 13, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Pixar have had a few titles that haven’t really given you much clue about the movie (at least without a little more int) – Up, Ratatouille, Inside Out – but you’ve have to be a genius to hear a film was called ‘Coco’ and and immediately know it was about somebody travelling to the Mexican Land of the Dead. However, that’s what happens in Pixar’s Coco.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

‘Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”).’

The movie will be out in the UK on January 18th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]
