If you didn’t get the chance to see Disney•Pixar’s animated feature film, Coco during its theatrical run, you’re in luck!
On Monday, the critically-acclaimed animated movie was released on home entertainment for all to enjoy.
I took my two children (ages 8 and 4) to see the movie last December and it was one of the most heartwarming films I’d seen in recent memory. At first, I was a bit reluctant to take them out of fear they would be scared by the skeletal characters prominent throughout the movie. Surprisingly, I couldn’t have been more wrong. They weren’t afraid at all and were entertained from beginning to end!

Without giving too much away, Coco tells the story of a young boy named Miguel who wants to explore his musical passions against his family’s wishes. As the movie unfolds, Miguel finds himself in a Land of the Dead where he learns about his culture, family traditions and uncovers a shocking secret that brings his family together.
The touching tale is a true testament to Disney’s unparalleled ability to tell stories that we can all relate to. In this case: death. The beautiful way in which Disney tackles tough subjects and makes them appropriate for kids is remarkable. From Bambi to the Lion King, Disney knows how to create movie magic while seamlessly incorporating teachable moments.
Disney•Pixar’s Coco is now available on home entertainment. You can purchase the DVD/Blu-Ray here, $25
Not only is Coco a vibrant, animated film sprinkled with moral lessons throughout—set to a mesmerizing score—it’s also groundbreaking. In fact, Coco is the first-ever animated feature to include an almost entirely Latino voice cast, many of who reside and grew up in Los Angeles. In celebration of the home entertainment release of the movie, the City of Angels declared Tuesday “Coco Day in L.A.”
Coco is a well-written masterpiece that tugs on heartstrings like no other. It’s the perfect way to teach young children about the inevitability of death while keeping them entertained.
The movie has been nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song “Remember Me,” and won the 2018 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Motion Picture.
Coco is a colorful story that resonates with all while celebrating Mexican culture. It’s by far one of my favorite Disney•Pixar films. It’s now available on 4K Ultra HD,™ Blu-ray,™ DVD and On-Demand.
