A sing-along version of the film with onscreen lyrics was released on Disney+ on September 16, 2022. [60] Having had the amazing opportunity to attend a press junket at the Disney • Pixar studios a few months ago I have shared a few blog posts about Coco and about how much this movie means for Latino families like mine. But culture aside, Coco is one of those movies that reminds us why we love to go to the movie theater; we want to be transported to a magical and unique world and forget about our everyday troubles while being reminded how important it is to appreciate those things that we love. Coco is a movie about the importance of family and about finding yourself by looking at your past and at your roots. Coco’s story is not only heartwarming but fun, exciting and surprising filled with unexpected twists that keep you entertained and delighted. Pixar has truly created a masterpiece in Coco and this is without a doubt the best film I’ve seen all year. The best part was that I got to share it with my family and that my kids loved it too. They loved it so much that we wanted to bring the magic of Coco home and dive into Miguel’s story even deeper and what better way to do that than through a book?! Coco: Miguel y la Gran Armonía

This picture book brings together the amazing writing of award-winning author Matt de la Peña and Pixar artist Ana Ramírez. The book features a beautifully written original story inspired by the Disney • Pixar movie Coco. There is an English version (Miguel and the grand harmony) as well as this Spanish version.

The film's hero, twelve-year old Miguel Riviera (voice by Anthony Gonzalez), lives in the small town of Santa Cecilia. He’s a goodhearted child who loves to play guitar and idolizes the greatest popular singer-songwriter of the 1920s and '30s, Ernesto de la Cruz ( Benjamin Bratt), who was killed when a huge church bell fell on his head. But Miguel has to busk in secret because his family has banned its members from performing music ever since Miguel's great-great-grandfather left, abandoning his loved ones to selfishly pursue his dreams of stardom. At least that’s the official story passed down through the generations; it’ll be challenged as the film unfolds, not through a traditional detective story (although there’s a mystery element to “Coco”) but through an “ Alice in Wonderland” journey to the Land of the Dead, which the hero accesses through the tomb of his ancestors.

The first sections cover the basics such as the 'anatomy of a crochet hook'. There is a table of the different sizing schemes with the recommendations that 'the most accurate measurements for a hook is the metric sizing'. The types of hooks now available are described. After a brief look at other useful equipment, there is a section on the different ways yarns are presented (balls, skeins, hanks, etc.) and how to interpret both yarn weights and types. The following section on colour presents an easy-to-follow look at the colour wheel theory.Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter said, "At every imaginative juncture, the filmmakers (the screenplay is credited to Pixar veteran Molina and Matthew Aldrich) create a richly woven tapestry of comprehensively researched storytelling, fully dimensional characters, clever touches both tender and amusingly macabre, and vivid, beautifully textured visuals." [97] Robert Abele of TheWrap praised the film, saying: "If an animated movie is going to offer children a way to process death, it's hard to envision a more spirited, touching and breezily entertaining example than Coco." [98] In his review for Variety, Peter Debruge wrote, "In any case, it works: Coco 's creators clearly had the perfect ending in mind before they'd nailed down all the other details, and though the movie drags in places, and features a few too many childish gags... the story's sincere emotional resolution earns the sobs it's sure to inspire." Debruge also described the film as "[An] effective yet hardly exceptional addition to the Pixar oeuvre." [99] Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film four out of four, writing that "There's a touch of Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki in the film's matter-of-fact depiction of the dead interacting with the living, as well as its portrayal of certain creatures" such as Dante and Pepita. He concluded his review by stating, "I had some minor quibbles about [ Coco] while I was watching it, but I can't remember what they were. This film is a classic."

Did we miss something on diversity?

Lee Unkrich first pitched an idea for the film in 2010, when Toy Story 3, which he also directed, was released. [14] Initially, the film was to be about an American child, learning about his Mexican heritage, while dealing with the death of his mother. Eventually, the team decided that this was the wrong approach and reformed the film to focus on a Mexican child instead. [24] Of the original version, Unkrich noted that it "reflected the fact that none of us at the time were from Mexico". [24] The fact that the film depicted "a real culture" caused anxiety for Unkrich, who "felt an enormous responsibility on [his] shoulders to do it right". [24] Berman, Rachel (April 13, 2016).
