My dad lives in Mexico, where it opened over three weeks ago and he and his girlfriend and her whole extended family loved the movie. I cannot wait to see it myself. Thanks for the nice review OP
DD couldn't wait to take her then 4-year old to see Jurassic World, but now that he's 6, she's worried the skeletons in Coco will scare him.
How intense are the skeleton scenes?
DGS 3 wants to do everything with his big bro, but I think I'll keep him home with baby sister.
My kid really wants to see it. My family is not of Latino ancestry, but a good story should be universal.
Agreed. I am of German ancestry and often wonder if Disney has made a German centered movie/animation.
I read today that they had to change the title for the Brazilian market, to something more mundane like "Life Is A Party" or something. In Brazilian Portuguese, "Koko" means "poop."
I think it's been more than 10 years that the G rating is basically not used except in rare occasions. Hollywood sees it as poison, but it's really just the rating system that has changed a bit. Things that used to get G now get PG and things that used to get PG now get PG-13. Is The Force Awakens really any more violent or objectionable than The Empire Strikes Back? Is Moana any scarier than Sleeping Beauty? Many of the classic Disney movies that are rated G would probably get a PG today.
We were having this discussion at our house. DD6 really loves Indiana Jones because of the ride and is desperate to watch the movies.
Crystal skull is the least scary and has a rating of M while the others have a PG rating and there is no way I would let her watch those yet.

Interestingly enough, Temple of Doom was one of the movies that helped create the PG-13 rating, as many felt it was a tad graphic for a PG. It didn't warrant an R though, so it got the PG, but shortly after the MPAA created PG-13 for films like that. Gremlins was another that influenced that, so thank Steven Spielberg.
EDIT: Oh, and now I see bcla already told the story. That's what I get for just clicking reply and not reading to the end of the thread.
Sure. But it's voluntary and the ratings are made by a private group. PG and PG-13 are basically just suggestions for parents to monitor what their kids watch. A movie theater showing R movies doesn't necessarily have to worry about kids going to watch without an adult. There are some localities that do theoretically enforce that private rating system.
Other countries have a government agency rating movies and laws that restrict who can see a movie based on those ratings. If a movie theater shows a movie restricted to those over 13, they can back it up.
Right, it is totally voluntary, though if you expect to get your movie distributed it is pretty much required. Personally, I prefer that to a government enforced system though.
....not a fan....I was disappointed with that one, but I love Wall-E....cannot wait to see Coco!Thanks for the review....I have no interest based on the commercials, then end up loving the movie when I see it. That was true of Wall-E, Big Hero 6, and Inside Out, and they ended up three of my favorites.
