I know. From what I’ve heard since I haven’t seen it yet it seems to be a more adult/teen film meaning not so much a little kid one. I know @TheMaxRebo said his kids enjoyed it though. Based what I’ve seem on twitter people seem to love it just think it’s more adult-ish. I’m excited to see it though.

I think it had been pretty widely predicted/known that Coco was not going to be a big box office success.
Hence Disney bumping its release and not going all in to market the film. Not that this necessarily speaks to the film's quality in any way.

Coco is getting some very good reviews.

Just to share - even more than a lot of Pixar this just felt like a movie, not a kids movie. It's not really scary at all but does deal a lot with growing old and dying and stuff like that. There are definitely some funny part but not a ton of like straight up silly jokes or anything - a lot more laughter in the theater during the Frozen short than during Coco
Last thing, our theater wasn't very full - but it was a 4:10 showing and they had it playing in multiple theaters so not sure if it says too much but definitely not Star Wars lines or anything.

Just saw Coco with DD4. Amazing. Arrived at theater at 10:00am for 10:30am showing... left theater at 1pm... 3 hours for a 80 minute film. Didn't stay to see if there was an end credit scene.
The Olaf short was ok, but could have nixed a song or two and still have told the complete story.

we looked up and apparently there wasn't really anything big post credits
Agree about both your takes - Coco was amazing and the Olaf short I thought was quite good but if they could have shed 5 minutes it would have been even better

Probably so they can promote a new christmas cd in time for the holidays.

knowing that the run time was 22 mins which seems the exact same as a 1/2 hour television show net of the commercials I really think this was intended to be a TV special that was converted to a theatrical release short to help promotion Coco

It was originally made to be a TV special to air on ABC.

There was no credit cookie.

I don't doubt this, but the number of unnecessary songs (or more specifically unmemorable songs, in my opinion) alludes to sales I think. The soundtrack is already playing on spotify.

i kind of doubt this... the pokémon company is very fickle about who uses their IP, and i honestly think there's not much potential for a pokémon land in that area (most i can see is generic kiddie rides?)
likewise, it'd be kind of strange not to have nintendo's flagship property in universal's flagship park. i'm unsure about this website's reputation, and obviously plans change, but i'd guess mario is going to be involved in some way at USF no matter what

What I’m curious of is if Mario does go to the studio park, what goes in the new park they’re inevitably building? Universal has almost always created attractions tied to IP, I’m just curious what acquisitions they’d look to make to stock that park up

We went to see it with another family (my Daughter is 9 and they have two daughters who are 8 and 9), we all loved it. The animation is beautiful and the story line does such a good job with the subject matter. The girls completely understood all of it - I don't think it is over kids' heads...maybe those that are even younger? I'm hoping that with the positive reviews more people will go see it - I agree that it didn't get the marketing push that other movies have gotten. Now...the Frozen (not so) short...was just okay to me. They should have just done it as a winter tv special or something...it was long enough when you factor in commercial breaks.

Just as another data point, my kids as 8, 5 (almost 6), and 3 and they all enjoyed it. The 3 year old was getting a bit fidgety by the end but that could have also been due to the 15 mins of previews and then the 22 min "short" before the movie as well
Not she if she (the youngest got is all) but even my son (the 5 year old) seemed really into it and didn't seem confused or anything

I agree with both of these. It had a few funny moments but it wasn't theatre full of laughs but neither was the Frozen short so maybe it was just this audience. Coco didn't seem like a kids movie and I was starting to get bored the first 1/3 or so of the movie. It's one that I don't think I'll watch again and I certainly won't buy it, but it was good.
