8. ‘Coco’ (2017)

I absolutely love the movie ‘Coco’! It tells the story of Miguel, a boy who dreams of being a musician but whose family has forbidden music. His journey takes him to the Land of the Dead, and it’s through this adventure that he learns so much about his family history and Mexican traditions like Día de los Muertos – the beautiful ofrendas and marigold bridges really stood out to me. What I found most touching was how the movie beautifully portrays the power of memory, the importance of family legacy, and remembering those we’ve lost, all woven together with incredible music. It’s no surprise Disney+ keeps featuring it in their collections – it’s a truly heartwarming story with stunning visuals that I always enjoy revisiting.
