Coco poster

Why people love it

Coco (2017) stuck because it commits to its family premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Lee Unkrich's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The family and animation blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
