Trama / Plot

Alla vigilia del Día de los Muertos le famiglie messicane espongono i ritratti dei propri antenati per tenerne vivo il ricordo e permettere alle loro anime di attraversare il ponte di fiori e vedere i propri cari durante i festeggiamenti.
Miguel Rivera è un bambino che non bada troppo alle tradizioni, ma è più concentrato a realizzare il sogno di diventare un musicista come il suo idolo Ernesto de la Cruz.
Purtroppo Miguel finisce nei guai e viene catapultato nella Terra dell’Aldilà dove conoscerà Hector, che rischia di sparire per sempre perché nessuno tiene vivo il suo ricordo nella Terra, e tutti i suoi antenati che cercheranno di riportarlo nella Terra dei Vivi prima che diventi anch’egli un fantasma.

On the eve of the Día de los Muertos Mexican families create an altar where to display portraits of their ancestors to keep their memory alive and allow their souls to cross the Marigold Bridge and see their loved ones during the festivities.
Miguel Rivera is a child who does not mind too much the traditions, but is more focused on fulfilling the dream of becoming a musician like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz.
Unfortunately Miguel gets into trouble and ends up in the Land of the Dead, where he knows Hector, who is going to disappear forever because no one keeps his memory alive in the Earth, and all his ancestors who try to bring him back to the Land of the Living before it’s too late.

Commento / Review

Non siamo stupite dell’eccezionale riscontro della critica che ha ottenuto questo film, che tratta con grande delicatezza e sentimento il Día de los Muertos.
Tenete pronti i fazzoletti perché il viaggio di Miguel nella Terra dell’Aldilà non sarà solo ricco di avventura e umorismo, ma anche di momenti dal forte impatto emotivo, che porteranno il ragazzo a capire meglio la storia della sua famiglia e i suoi antenati stessi a riconsiderare il loro punto di vista.
Meravigliose le scenografie dai colori pop e percorse dai petali di Cempasúchil, che guidano il cammino dei cari defunti.

No wonder that Coco got a critical success, it’s a movie that presents with great delicacy and sentiment the Día de los Muertos.
Keep your handkerchiefs ready because Miguel’s journey in the Land of the Dead is not only full of adventure and humor, but also of strong emotional moments, which will lead the boy to better understand the story of his family and his ancestors themselves to reconsider their point of view.
Wonderful set in pop colors among the flying petals of Marigold, that guide the journey of the Dead.
