Who hasn’t shed a little tear in front of a Pixar film? Whether it was the shocking beginning of Up there or the heartbreaking finale of Toy Story 3the American animation studio has the gift of making the viewer, and especially adults, pull out all the stops. This week, it is possible to see one of Pixar’s best feature films on television. And we challenge you not to cry in his final minutes.

Logical, since it is a fantastic animated film which deals with death, oblivion, the weight of family secrets, and mourning. Released in 2017, this film directed by Lee Unkrich immerses the viewer in the heart of Mexican culture. And more specifically, during “el día de los muertos” (the day of the dead, editor’s note), a day of celebration where we honor the deceased, by placing offerings on their altars or on the tombs.

In detail, the cartoon Coco follows the story of young Miguel Rivera, who dreams of becoming a musician as accomplished as his idol, the late star Ernesto de la Cruz. But music has been banned in his family for several generations, without the young man knowing why. But by a strange combination of circumstances, during el día de los muertos, the young boy finds himself propelled to the “Land of the dead”. He will have to discover how to return to the living, before the end of this day of celebration. He then undertakes a fantastic quest in the kingdom of the deceased, which will allow him to uncover the truth behind his family’s secrets.

Coco is one of the films perfectly suited to understanding the question of mourning, of the memory of the dead that we keep or forget, with children. Rhythmic and full of twists and turns, it is above all a marvel of animation, which immerses the viewer in a colorful universe which pays homage to Mexican culture. And for once, music plays an essential part in the feature film… Particularly in its moving finale.

We won’t reveal the scene that makes everyone cry to preserve the suspense of the film. But if you missed Cocowe recommend that you discover it during its rebroadcast on W9 this Monday, October 21, from 9:10 p.m. Even adults will be charmed by this animated gem.
