Disney and Pixar's "Coco" Got Away With Sneaking a Murder Mystery Into a Family Drama and I'm Here For It!

Content Warning: not much since this is a family movie, but there is murder so viewer discretion is advised. Spoilers for Coco ahead! Some people would travel far and wide to live their dreams. But, most of them wouldn’t consider running around the Land of the Dead to do it . . . Miguel Rivera belongs to possibly the only family in Mexico that hates music. Forbidden to play or even be around…

Coco (2017)

A surprising number of animated films deal with death but few with the sensitivity and spirit of Pixar’s Coco. Culturally rich, visually inspired and filled emotion, even if you’ve never celebrated the Day of the Dead, it’s a soulful, thoroughly entertaining adventure.

Aspiring musician Miguel (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez) is forbidden from following his passion by generations of family tradition enforced by his grandmother (Renée Victor). After stealing the guitar of Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt), the most beloved singer/guitarist in Mexican history, Miguel is transported to the realm of the dead. To return to the living, he must receive his ancestors's blessing.

Immediately, you’ll notice the care poured into the film’s visuals. I know Pixar always does a great job animating their films, that it feels like it’s a given at this point but this Coco blows away your expectations. The realm of the dead explodes with colours. Every building, every lamp, window and location has been designed to give this place a unique look. For instance, the way buildings look from certain angles create the repeating image of skulls. You see so many that when Miguel is brought to a world where the dead literally walk around and speak to him, you’re non-plussed. Think about that. In this film, we see a character die on-screen. Most of the people Miguel interacts with are dead but it never feels frightening or traumatic.

Coco has the full gamut of human emotions packed into its 105-minute running time. It's even more impressive when considering many watching probably won't know anything about the “rules” of this afterlife. Don't worry, whether you're familiar with Mexican culture and the Day of the Dead or not, the exposition is woven so organically and efficiently it never draws attention to itself but answers all your questions.

I wouldn’t consider Coco a musical but music plays a big role in it. Certain lyrics introduced early on return to suddenly have a different meaning or to reinforce the emotion in a scene. The script is carefully-written, with not one moment wasted. You’re dazzled by the visuals and on repeat viewings, you can wrestle your attention away from the backgrounds and animation to focus on the characters and their journey. This is also where I have some criticisms for the film. The story’s great, the characters unique, memorable and well-developed. The ending, however, feels a bit familiar, particularly if you’ve seen some of Pixar’s other projects. The only other flaw is related to Miguel’s family in the world of the living. They can feel needlessly mean, particularly his grandmother, who only ever acts nice towards him after being cruel or bossy. I’m certain many will recognize their family in Miguel’s. I applaud the film’s choice to make a distinct movie that firmly commits to the culture it's celebrating but this may create a gap between the film and some viewers at points.

Films like Coco are rousing arguments for more diversity in Hollywood. We’ve never seen a production like this one before - not even in 2014’s The Book of Life. Let’s hope the future brings us more opportunities to discover new people, new cultures and stories. This is proof it pays off. (Theatrical version on the Big Screen, November 1, 2019)

Buzz Lightyear Instruction Manual

TITLE: Buzz Lightyear Instruction Manual AUTHOR: Unknown ORIGIN: Toy Story 3 (movie, 2010, directed by Lee Unkrich)

The instruction manual for the original Buzz Lightyear action figure, released in 1995, when short-sighted retailers did not order enough dolls to meet demand. The toy was based on the character from the cartoon series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, a spinoff of the popular Lightyear movie trilogy from the 1980s. The manual covers basic operation of the toy: how to retract the visor, extend the wings, replace the batteries, the functions of the various buttons, and so on. Certain things are not explained especially well, however. For instance, contrary to what the manual states, "demo mode" does not reset the doll to its factory settings — a meaningless act in a toy with no customizable settings — but presumably limits its available actions to slow battery drain when on display. Similarly, the reset button serves no obvious purpose, though disobeying the manual's unexplained warning to not hold it down for more than five seconds does switch the doll's language settings to Spanish, a helpful feature that the manual perhaps should have mentioned.

I. Handbooks and manuals — Toys and games — Action figures II. Handbooks and manuals — Pseudo-living creatures — Robots, AIs, and golems III. Plot obstacles — Mental tampering — Troubling existential questions

For such a comparatively simple book, I spent an INORDINATELY LONG TIME making this one. I couldn't find any images that were high-res and/or clear enough to suit me, either from screencaps or from the official replica that came with the extremely expensive Buzz figure from Chogokin, so I ended up making my own by painstakingly tracing over a low-res image. Of course, for full verisimilitude I printed it out and made my own booklet which I then took a picture of. What is wrong with me.

In retrospect, Johnson says she was shocked by the ability of the film — and the medium — to transform her ideas into what have become indelible cinematic moments. “I was so unaware of the magnifying effect of film,” she says. “Where somebody says, ‘No,’ on the screen, it’s powerful. When you’re writing a novel it’s just a word. So I was a little bit overcome to see it on the screen.”

Diane Johnson on the making of 'The Shining'
