To my surprise, The Day of The Dead, something pretty morbid sounding in name, is actually a very positive, family orientated tradition and I believe that Pixar's Coco successfully portrays this through use of soulful characters and a thought provoking plot. Photo Credit: Jane Austen Runs My Life Blog Lizzie's Pal Miranda gave me my first introducton to The Day of The Dead In fact, the only education I have had on The Mexican celebration was an old Lizzie McGuire episode in which Miranda Sanchez (Lizzie's Best Friend) and her family openly celebrate the holiday. That was all I knew about the plot before entering the cinema and to be honest with you, I really didn't know that much about Día Des Meurtos either, despite my Spanish heritage!
I can tell you that you just had your first introduction to the plot of Coco.Ĭoco is plain and simply a story about a little Mexican boy named Miguel and his adventure during Día Des Meurtos. 'Thanks for the History lesson Mercedes but really, what was that all about?' The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey. It is acknowledged internationally in many other cultures. not an easy task!Įnjoy! And if you have also been lucky enough to see Coco, let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.ĭía Des Meurtos The Day of the Dead ( Spanish : Día de Muertos ) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican ancestry living in other places, especially the United States. I'm going to try and share my thoughts on the movie in as much detail as possible but without giving away too much of the plot. I was hoping to see Coco during the weekend of it's UK release but I was busy packing for my upcoming Disneyland trip - priorities! Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of FINALLY going to the cinema with my BDFF (that's my Best Disney Friend Forever) and watching Disney, Pixar's Coco!
