Coco is Pixar. While not a MUSICAL musical (people breaking into song to express feelings as a group or individuals), music is very important to certain characters and the storytelling. And of animated movies Academy Awards: Beauty and the Beast was the FIRST animated movie nominated for Best Picture, before the Best Animated Film category was created. Snow White got an honorary Oscar for innovations to film, as did Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

I think this movie is great for parents to watch with their children, giving them a good guide to talk about their emotions. Especially in families where communication doesn't come natural. This and Coco are my favorite Pixar movies, for completely different reasons.

I can't speak as a kid who watched it when it came out, but my oldest kid was 11 and my youngest was 4 when it came out. They probably aren't the most representative of most kids their ages as they were raised to not really try to fit in and also are not neurotypical kids. My oldest really related to Riley and experiencing more complex emotions as she got older, as well as finding ways to express stronger emotions. She dealt with anxiety a lot and this was absolutely a good way to help her visualize emotions. She hasn't seen the second one yet. For my youngest, he loved this movie and it was the first one he cried at, when Riley was crying at the end. He feels emotions very strongly and loved it growing up but didn't connect as much. He saw the second one with me this summer and loved it as well. He likes pretty much anything Marvel and Pixar related, but also loves Transformers movies.

on the idea of animated movies running the gamut, i love wall-e (so much i’m no longer (too) mad they blatantly ripped off johnny 5 and then described the design as original); on the other end, it’s been brought to my attention there’s an animated titanic movie that features a rapping dog and everyone being saved by a giant octopus.

For me, Pixar is split into a pre- and post-Toy Story 3 era. Toy Story 3 came out when I was in college so I related so, so much to Andy moving on from the toys to go to college and them learning to move on from him. It is my favorite Pixar film, and the first one I felt like I related to more on an adult level than a child level. Pre-Toy-Story 3, obviously the first two Toy Story movies are great, and changed animation forever. Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. were also huge steps forward in 3d animation, and just really solid movies overall. I don't think The Incredibles was as pioneering aimation-wise, but story-wise it's another really clever and memorable Pixar film. WALL-E and Up both begin extremely strong but don't fully live up to their opening sequences. Up has to be a meme at this point for reducing anyone to tears in its first 10 minutes. Coco is my favorite of the post-Toy Story 3 era. Maybe not exactly a musical because all the music is technically diegetic; the characters perform several songs throughout the movie, but they're singing in-universe for sensible reasons like being in a talent show, so there aren't any purely representational musical numbers. But Coco got me emotionally more than any other Pixar film since Toy Story 3. Luca, Soul, and Turning Red were all quite good. Turning Red is probably the best of the Pixar COVID era.

Oh, and Inside Out 2 is really, really good, probably better than the first.

The concept of this movie always reminds me of a very early Fox show called Herman's Head. It had four live action actors representing what was going on inside the main charter's head and one was played by Yeardley Smith, Lisa Simpson's voice actor.

I work in corporate relocation. Basically we work with people whose company is moving them. I remember this movie really resonating with me and my coworkers

My neuro atypical kid loved this movie. It was awesome to see him connect to it.
