>a movie about the ties of family and something something death with a huge cultural aspect to it
I was always surprised people thought this was gonna bomb. Been hearing it's gotten an immensely positive response in Mexico.

Watched a camrip, was bland as shit

same here, compa
i'm guilty of it myself, the tears wouldn't stop in the last 15mins or so

>that tequila scene
almost makes me proud i'm an alcoholic

Holy shit this came out?

I thought it wasn't out until Thanksgiving. Did it get an early release somewhere?

Mexico. OP is a beaner.

Mexico and there're a lot of people crying because of the ending.

read the noveliization, that plot twist was interesting.

i think it rubbed off WDAS. lol

even if it was predictable, everything was executed really well.

When the great grandmother started singing everyone in the theater, even the children, got quiet. It really hit the right heart strings for me, especially when the dad is singing to Coco when she was a girl I couldn't help but feel the feels man.

made me feel bad that I almost cant remember what my grandparents looked like.

>mfw uncultured Sup Forums swine doesn't know Dia de los Muertos

Its mostly just buttblasted Book of Life fans thinking that.

I'm just happy we're apparently getting another good Pixar film, they've been VERY hit or miss with everything post Toy Story 3

what year is the movie supposed to take place?

In one scene we see them use an old apple computer so I guess that implies that they're around the mid 1990's, but almost everything else suggest a more contemporary year, like the town is stuck in a time before cholos, cartels and graffiti

Inside Out was meh.

No one cares about your Mexican sugar dancing holiday.

...until now.
thank you based Dis xar.

>sugar dancing

surprisingly the movie didn't show much or any sugar skulls.

>why did this get released early?
>because of a holiday, you idiot
>hurr durr no one cares about your holiday XD

It exist in the same universe as romantic Paris or gentleman's London.

I wonder if this film could be tied in to the other nu-Disney movies. I don't see why it couldn't be

I have to admit part of this, I loved book of life and I'm still thinking this looks meh as shit

I just feel Pixar nowadays just tries to sell ideas instead of making art

happens when you ran out of juice., and do what their new bosses tell you to make.

t. buttblasted American

You haven't watched it, right?

Book of life is shit compared to this

I am Mexico. I watch with my family and I heard Coca is dead I go noooooooooo!

All over my village, the men are no ashame to cry. Coca is dye. Noooooooooo! The senora's and senoritas hide they face in those Mexico style face burkas. The bell in the church tower ring day and night. Is so sad. the donkey will not pull the wagons.

I cry to holy bless virgin she say is part of Mexico lifes and Coca is in good Mexico hell with flower skeleetons. El Why?? El whyyyyy?

exactly, in my eyes I only see it as that
cars just killed them

yeah, I haven't so I can't judge it, that's huh, I honestly did not expect that
mind you I really liked that book of life touched upon animal abuse and not cheap feels like this seems to do... but to each their own

BoL had some decent idea,and was visually stunning, Coco have all the other ingredients.

Jorgez must be happy he got two cakes.

>check'd
it's probably the early 90's
small towns like the one in the movie were using 70s/80s technologies even to this day

yeah mexico is, or was, late to adopt new technologies.
The language gap doesn't help

Oh it's that thing that's gonna play after Frozen short movie! Not like I'm gonna stay that long, lol.

So, what's the overall opinion on the music?

I wanna like it, but as usual Pixar trailers tend to suck at selling the movie for me.

Currently I'm kinda not looking forward to it mostly because the "I wanna be a musician but my family hates muuusiiic" trope is cliche as all fuck. I'm not a book of Life fag but the fact they also used it makes me groan even more, and it sucked ass in that movie as well! Does it get implemented better?

Also would like to know if the setting is utilized well. My one peeve with Brave is that as a usually-overlooked at the time setting like Celtic mythology, you could get very creative with your setting and plot but when with a somewhat by-the-numbers story. Is this the same case?

>"I wanna be a musician but my family hates muuusiiic"

>what's the overall opinion on the music?
Very good, I saw the spanish dub so I don't know if they captured the voices well in the english version, but it really shows they put effort into the composition of the songs.
If you're expecting shitty songs like Despacito you're not gonna find it here. Its the good shit.

>Does it get implemented better?
I think it does, mainly because they make it so that you can relate to the reasons why the kid and his family are the way they are. They spend time showing how music hurt the family and they spend time showing us how much the kid really loves music, making us root for him when he goes out of his way to chase his dreams, but also understand why the family doesn't want him to repeat the same mistakes of his great grandfather.

>Also would like to know if the setting is utilized well
They really do, I think, they establish rules and follow them, the real world is very true to mexican towns of the time (sadly most of those no longer exist). And the dead world has some creative architecture that feels familiar but also otherworldly, although admittedly we spend most of the time following the characters in hiding so we mostly see sewers and alleyways, and rarely see what most of the underworld looks like. at one point we see that the dead even have cars so I guess its implied that the world is much bigger than what we get to see. but they did a good job focusing on the important aspects of the story.
If you go to the movies all the time you'll know the main plot twist, but even when its revealed its handled quite well, with some self awareness even.

My main criticisms of this movie would be

The family characters are underused, the living and the dead ones. They don't really do much except briefly by the end, and we get their names but for the most part they are inconsequential and forgettable.

There is probably too many comedy relief characters, for my taste. The dog character was annoying but I guess it could have been worse, they could have made him talk but they didn't so that's good.


I should rewatch it so I can think of more points to add

Oh wait I have another one.

they never establish what would happen to the kid if he dies in the otherworld, does he simply become a skelly like the rest of them?
Does his body appear in the living world?
Does he just disappear forever? They never tell us, so whenever he is in danger you don't really understand what is at stake.

What was the overall plot? How did it end?

Everytime I search for camrip I get porn lol

Watch it dude
The plot twist is great

I guess I'll give it a shot when it comes out in my cinema down the street then.

Pixar trailers and me tend to never go well. I still remember how much the trailers of Ratatouille had me not wanting to see it at all until I was forced to watch it cause my dad had already brought some tickets; And after watching it ending one of my favorite Pixar films ever.

Simialr situations with Up, Inside Out and Toy Story 3. thought they were gonna suck because of the trailers, ended up enjoying them. However, that didn't happen with Brave (I don't hate it but I didn't really enjoy it a lot...), and definitely didn't happen with Finding Dory and The Good Dinosaur.

Your summary at least gives me hope that this may be a case of the former rather than the latter.

If you have a really loved old one be ready for the feels train

>Pixar trailers and me tend to never go well.

Yeah the trailer for this one didn't sell me either.
I remember that it was a similar case with Zootopia, I thought the movie would be a joke, but it ended up being a movie that I fell in love with.

They probably do it this way to subvert your expectations, but it has the consequence of alienating more jaded audiences.

>My grandma died at the age of 99 a couple of years ago and the memory is still fresh due to having been her birthday a few days ago.

I'm gonna be a goddamn waterfall after watching this, aren't I?

Fuck

>99
It's gonna hurt a lot

this movie made me regret not having a picture of my grandparents, and made me wonder if I have made an impact in anyone's life for them to remember me at all.

Fuuuuck

I miss my grandma, always so lively and she was pretty healthy and capable while other gradmas were bound to chairs or sittings around the 80s, she was still capable of walking, doing stuff and even go to the civic center nearby to play music in a band with her other old lady friends even up to those 99 years. She was the best ;_;

The skeletons here look like shit

I'm sorry for your loss.

What I don't understand is how the kid's great-great-grandfather is a singer obviously based on the Golden Age of Cinema (which was in the 1920's).

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have him be the great-grandfather and have Coco be just the grandma? We're still living at a time where it's impossible to have kids distance themselves 4 generations from the 1920's.

maybe they wanted to have it both ways, have the grandma who is still active and gives you food, as well as the grandma who is very near death and is forgetful.

They probably originally wanted the character to be just one.

>This kills the Three Caballeros ride at Epcot

is that still a thing?

>tfw had 96 year old great-grandmother
>tfw was actually a really cool old lady that liked to call out people on their shit even in her 90s
>tfw rarely see her

PIXAR DOES IT AGAIN!

How do you "barely" die?

I think he meant "almost"

never trust trailers, sometimes,the movies arent even halfway done by the time trailers are out

>tequila scene

Are we actually getting drunk characters in Disney movies again?

>I am Mexico
Damn, the entire country?

>le take stereotypes up to eleven but present it in a cute looking taco shell flick
They had a good chance to make it about a kid who's grown with Americanized media (which would make it relatable to the rest of the world btw), who re-discovers and learns to love his own country's traditions and culture after whatever adventure he goes through. But nope, instead we get pandering and in-your-face references the movie.

What are you talking about? Brake it Bobby and Zootopia were pretty good. Inside Out was OK as well.
>implying only the last one was Pixar

They can only afford a single PC and internet connection, so they use it communally.

Can confirm, I stole my neighbor Paco's time to write this reply

>(sadly most of those no longer exist)
>mfw I live next to a couple of towns that don't exist

I'm from central Mexico and those towns are everywhere, user. Some of those are even "Pueblos Mágicos".

Are you guys disappointed that you seem to be completely pigeonholed into Skelly Day in animation as a country? Or do you really have nothing else to offer for a movie concept?

>Or do you really have nothing else to offer for a movie concept?
There's always the Narco route.

Toy Story 3 was bad. That's the movie that started Pixar's devotion to sequels and drop in quality.

havent seen it, but ive heard its a great movie, and also yes theres lots of crying.

los putos de metacube que tienen como 15 años disque haciendo una pelicual del dia de muertos ya se la pelaron

> people thought this was gonna bomb.

I don't think people thought it was going to bomb, since, y'know, it's pixar, but they WANTED it to bomb, mainly because it looks super bland and the designs of the skeletons look like dogshit.

Not even that much of a BoL fan, since that movie definitely had problems with blandness/cliches too, but at the very least it got the designs for the skeletons and general underworld stuff just absolutely spot on, it was really pretty to look at.

>tfw adult animation is fucking dead and we'll never see a big budget mainstream cartoon with drugs, violence and bunda

That Netflix Adam Sandler movie is better.

maybe in 200 years or so narcos become like pirates and would be acceptable to make a disney movie about them

>El Santo contra los Narcos the Juarez
BOOK IT VINCE

I mean, the American Mafia are practically at that point already.

>If you're expecting shitty songs like Despacito you're not gonna find it here. Its the good shit
oh thank god

>pueblito
Aaaaand dropped.

well we have rescatando el soldado perez wich is a comedy with narcos

>tequila scene

Wait, what?

Made me remember when I died-died-died

>mentioning that movie
>at all
also, fuck you Pumita

meh, it has good moments

>Or do you really have nothing else to offer for a movie concept?

There's tons of stories to tell, but no one cares enough to make them or support them.

If I had the power and the means, I'd love to make some sci-fi movie that had nothing to do with mexico or today's politics, just a fun story that just happens to be in spanish.

that scene when the american soldiers find the disc with mexican music

This movie needs more attention.

I know

I mean, Las Leyendas has shown there is indeed some stuff you can actually do with mexican culture, hell, if I had the budget, patience and right team, I'd try something a la Ghost Stories... just without the awfulness that fucked the series beyond redemption and that made even an "abridged" dub make that shitshow shine.

I mean, because we have seriously fucked up legends

nah, this was a love letter to mexico. and honestly, your idea sounds like a new marvel character background. It is also cliche and used as fuck

>Or do you really have nothing else to offer for a movie concept?

How about a movie about the life of Porfirio Diaz?
How about a story that focuses on the tribes that the Aztecs conquered and how they took the opportunity to fight back when the spanish arrived?
How about doing something with the legends and mythology of any of the hundreds of tribes in mexico?
How about a show about mexican cooks?
How about story about south american immigrants living in mexico to show us how we can also be pretty shitty to foreigners as much as the US can be to us?
How about a sci-fi story set in a positive future, where mexico has gotten its shit together and its now a first world country? Could be inspiring.

How about an alternate-history where the aztecs managed to fight back against the spanish conquerors?
How about a historical movie about what Mexico did during WW2?
How about a story about mexican spies?

>was bland as shit

So it's going for an Oscar, I see.

>How about a historical movie about what Mexico did during WW2?
we were neutral for most of the war until a u boat sunk one of our boats and we sent a single fighter plane squad. I suppose you could add a little bit of action to that, but it will end up looking ridiculous.

>It's a decent Mexican themed film

I feel proud of being a beaner

>Implying most american films about WW2 don't exaggerate or expand on events that in reality were brief or not as important.

Who said you could use our american internet?

>we were neutral
Wasnt mexico colluding with Hitler?

We already paid in cocaine

Hitler wanted to convince Mexico to fight on their side against the US, but Mexico said no, probably because we would be demolished and also the US has owned our politicians ever since the Revolution.

Why is he the ugliest protagonist in recent Disney history? He looks like a rejected Croods character. Are real Mexican kids that homely, or does Disney just think they are?

>nothing to do with Mexico
Point missed.

Now see, you've failed as a culture to chew-up your legends and turn them into marketable stuff. Every single European fairy-tale was originally hardcore shit you'd have to put an 18+ rating on, but they were adapted.

Most of those gain nothing by being set in Mexico. Aside from the historic ones, but they are a hard sell. I was wondering if you have something American studios would be interested in making a movie about for an international audience.

Beaner here, so far it's gotten nothing but praise over here. I'm probably gonna go see it on Nov 1.
For now, I leave pic related.

Also, I'm glad I've seen no spoilers so far. I know nothing about the movie - going in 100% blind.

Question for the beaners that've already seen it; does the boy really follow the cringey "ew girls are gross" cliche shown in the trailer? If he does, then count me out, because I'm a bit weary of Pixar's cookie-cutter characterizations.

could be sold as some sort of rag tag underdog story about dudes that prepare to go fight in a war when we didnt even an air force, shown learning to be pilots from scratch in the US and finally seeing some action in the phillipines.

shit has potential for a movie gringos would watch, you have the whole underdog aspect gringos love, potential for whacky montages, an underlining message about MURRICA FUCK YEAH, and you can add a sub plot about an stereotypical racist dude that changes his ways after spending time with the heroes and some " deep down we are all the same" bullshit to pander at lefties
