With Pixar's Elio out now, Aaron & John RETURN for another Animation Monday giving their Coco Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey light up your Día de Muertos with their heartfelt Reaction & Review of Pixar/Disney’s Coco (2017), directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3, Finding Nemo) and co-directed by Adrian Molina (Coco, Burrow). This vibrant musical adventure follows young Miguel Rivera (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, Selena’s Family, Real Women Have Curves) who dreams of becoming a musician—despite his family’s generations-old ban on music. After a mysterious string of events, Miguel is transported to the colorful Land of the Dead, where he meets charming trickster Héctor (voiced by Gael García Bernal, The Motorcycle Diaries, Mozart in the Jungle), and accidentally earns the blessing of his idol—Frida Kahlo cameo aside remix! With the help of beloved star Ernesto de la Cruz (voiced by Benjamin Bratt, Doctor Strange, Miss Congeniality), Miguel embarks on an emotional journey to uncover his family's past and lift its musical curse. Standout characters include Miguel’s grandmother Abuelita (Renée Victor) and sweet great-great-grandmother Mamá Coco (Ana Ofelia Murguía). Key moments include Miguel’s dramatically emotional visit to Mamá Coco’s memory-filled home, the unforgettable “Remember Me” performance in the candlelit courtyard, the dramatic chase across floating marigold bridges, and the tear-jerking finale that underscores the power of family, memory, and forgiveness. With its stunning visuals, captivating performances, and an unforgettable soundtrack fully steeped in Mexican culture, Coco remains one of Pixar’s most beloved and visually rich films. Join Aaron & John as they celebrate the film’s legacy, musical highs, tearful lows, and why Coco continues to inspire generations.
