I thought the concept of this would be another Pixar film to stir my emotions, but it didn't hit the spot for me.
Coco is a very fun en well done movie which i can highly recommend to you !
Watched it and preferred it to Soul, funny that they both had a similar theme with the afterlife. Really need to watch all the Pixars movies I have missed while I have a disney+ sub.
For me, this is a wonderful film. But this foray into more complex themes makes it hard for children below a certain age to enjoy because of the complex ideas/themes going on throughout the movie. My daughter lost interest and I found myself having to keep describing what is going on for her to stay engaged. If the main character was a teenager, maybe it would hit home easier? Visually, it was incredible - with splendid art direction and use of different but interesting animation styles. I feel Pixar will keep pushing these ideas whilst releasing more traditional ’cartoon animation’ for younger audiences alongside these complex stories. Pixar are pushing boundaries and I like it. I’m not sure everyone will like this direction though...
Soundtrack excellent, animation good, creativity good but story dragged on and only a 6.5 from us.Thanks Cas, I will see if two cynical teenagers are interested.
You'll get £10 cashback for Disney+ subscription if you go through Quidco.Thanks for the review Cas. Really like pretty well everything Pixar have ever produced. Trying to find a perfect time to cough up for a Month, watch everything we want, & bail!
Whilst I enjoyed it, at the end it didn’t have the emotional impact most Pixar movies do. A solid 6.5 for me ... but had the film score been bad that’d be a 5 tops. I think they erred a little by not having us invest in the lead character early enough. His backstory was done in a one minute montage way too late.
Also, on my Apple TV box I only got PCM 5.1. Not Atmos. Was this review from a disc or streamed? If streamed, how did you get Atmos Cas? I’d love to hear the film in Atmos just for the music.
