Coco is out now on Blu-ray and DVD! #Coco #Review

Disney•Pixar’s “Coco”—the story of a 12-year-old aspiring musician’s extraordinary journey to the magical land of his ancestors—won a 2018 Golden Globe Award® for Best Animated Motion Picture, topped the domestic box office Thanksgiving holiday weekend, became the highest grossing film of all time in Mexico, broke records in China and earned widespread praise, receiving 96 percent from critics and 97 percent from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Now this vibrant tale filled with love and laughter is out now Digitally in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ and on Movies Anywhere and on 4K Ultra HD,™ Blu-ray,™ DVD and On-Demand on Feb. 27.

Through fresh and fascinating bonus material, adventurers of all ages will tag along with filmmakers as they soak in DĂ­a de los Muertos in Mexico; explore the essential role of music in “Coco;” and learn how the cast and crew personally connect with the film’s message. They’ll step behind the scenes to discover the inspiration behind the film’s creative costuming; Miguel’s beautifully complicated family; Dante the loyal Xolo dog; and the stunning worlds of both the dead and the living. Features also include deleted scenes, insightful filmmaker commentary, the music of Coco and more.
     

"Coco" is packaged several ways to ensure viewers get the most out of their in-home viewing experience. The Multi-screen Edition (formerly the Blu-ray Combo Pack) includes Blu-ray, DVD and a Digital copy, giving viewers the flexibility to watch the film on different devices.

It has been a while since a Disney movie has got me teary eyed and Coco did that to me.   It was such an amazing film with vibrant colors, amazing music, but most of all an unforgettable story-line.  Twelve-year-old Miguel  wants to follow his passion and  become a musician like his hero, the late Ernesto de la Cruz. Unfortunately, music has been banned by the boy’s family since the child’s great grandfather ran off to pursue his own musical dreams.   Miguel's family instead wants him to follow in the family footsteps of making and repairing shoes.

During the annual Dia de Muertos festival, Miguel is  accidentally transported to the Land of the Dead, where he gets to meet the spirits of departed family members, as well as de la Cruz himself.  Along the way Miguel learns the true importance of  family. While he has a desire to return home to his own family, he doesn't want to lose focus and forget those family members his family has lost over the years.   A great message throughout this film is that family always come first!

About “Coco”
In Disney•Pixar’s “Coco,” Pixar Animation Studios’ 19th feature film, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt)—despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster HĂ©ctor (voice of Gael GarcĂ­a Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history.

Disney•Pixar's COCO themed crafts and party ideas

Celebrate one of the best reviewed films of the year and Golden Globe Awards® winner for Best Animated Feature when Coco arrives Digitally in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ as well as Movies Anywhere on February 13, and on 4K Ultra HD,™ Blu-ray,™ DVD and On-Demand on February 27. With extensive bonus materials spanning from deleted scenes to story research in Mexico to designing the world of the Land of the Dead, the whole family will find hours of content to enjoy!



In honor of this movie release, why not have a Coco themed party!  First why not make some skull garland.   I took colored tissue paper (four sheets at a time) and placed a skull template on top of it.  Then I did another four skulls.  Next up, you take a long piece of masking tape, I placed the top of each skull on the edge, once they all were in place, just fold over the tape.


 A fun and easy decoration for the table is Coco themed lanterns.   I took plastic cups and busted out the permanent markers and got creative.  You really can't go wrong, just make a fun designed skull.  Once it is done, place a battery operated tea light under it and instant candle!



  Craft idea!   I used a clearance set of foam skull necklaces I had left over from Halloween.  I picked up bejeweled stickers for about $1 each at a couple different stores.  The kit included string and foam stickers for eyes and nose. 
 

 The kids had a blast making their own skull necklaces.  I am thankful the bejeweled stickers were only a $1 each, as it seemed my floor got jeweled too!  I was surprised at how well they turned out and the creativity each child showed!
Other must haves for a great party is themed decorations!  Pick up some super cool skull bead necklaces at party stores or online.  You can even find sugar skull and Mexican themed table wear!
