Family Flicks: Coco

Young Miguel yearns to be a singer but, for reasons shrouded in mystery, his family forbids it. On Día de Muertos, he stumbles into the Land of the Dead where he must discover his family’s secret to heal the wounds of the past. This Oscar-winner from Pixar prefigures Encanto with its vibrant palette, buoyant rhythms, and whole-hearted celebration of family bonds, cultural traditions, and musical dreams.
