Disney•Pixar’s COCO is now playing in theaters everywhere and I'm so excited for families to see it. It's a great story about honoring families and following your own personal dreams.

Note: I was invited as media to the movie screening. Disney and Pixar invited me on this all expense paid trip for the Disney*Pixar COCO Event. While I will share different events and activities during the trip, any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

As you know I visited San Francisco for the #PixarCocoEvent media trip to learn more about the Disney*Pixar COCO film. I learned about

• Crafting Disney*Pixar’s Coco Video Featurette
• Disney*Pixar COCO Spirit Animals Fun Facts
• How Disney*Pixar COCO Honors Family Traditions
• Fun Facts About Disney*Pixar COCO Skeletons
• Q&A Highlights from Disney*Pixar COCO Filmmakers Interview

PLUS I screened a few minutes of the movie. More about that later. But all that behind the scene info really got me excited to see the full film. And when I did recently, it was amazing.


MY REVIEW

While I already knew the story of Miguel struggle to play music against the wishes of his family, when I saw the full story unfold I was in tears. Literally. You'll gonna need tissues when you go to see this film.

Without giving to much away, Disney*Pixar COCO really touches on the issue of what makes a family...a family. The connection. Whatever it may be. In this case it music. But really it's more then just music. It's the LOVE, which is the driving force behind it all.

Miguel goes on an amazing journey to discovery WHY his family both loves and hates music. And it's a journey we all can relate to with it's up and downs. And isn't that what loving our family is about? Loving them through good and bad moments?


In the end, Miguel discovers that the love of family can be a powerful thing. And that's why it's so important to honor and celebrate it. A message that perfect as we get into the holiday season surround by family.


Speaking of surrounding, now that my #PixarCocoEvent is almost at it's end, I want to try and capture all the love and memories. While I don't have an Ofrendas, I did have a code to make a Chatbooks!

While designing my Chatbooks, I was able to capture special moments with my #PixarCocoEvent family. It was easy to design. I just had to pick photos to add to sheet of my "book". I could add little captions, title my book and adjust the sizing and order of each "page".


The finish result came out awesome. I'm now thinking of other types of books I can make. Since each book allows you to add 60 or so photos, you can really fill it up!

Hope you can your family enjoys seeing Disney*Pixar COCO as much as my family did!
