Why so late in the UK?
I have absolutely no clue, I only found out because I was trying to find a local screening and couldn't. Seems like at one point it was meant to release here concurrent to the US release but it got pushed back? It seems incredibly strange for them to avoid a holiday release slot but I've yet to find any official rationale for the decision.Jan 19?

On the plus side we won't have to sit through the Frozen short since that was shown here before a limited re-release to cinemas of the original film
They had a hard time doing the English translation.

Just saw the movie today, it was surprisingly good. I have very low expectations and walked out thinking it was worth the trip, not sure I understand the timing of the release honestly, it doesn't scream holiday but worth seeing. I would also say, as a parent of child who loves the current Donald Duck Mexico ride, that this would be a great fit, if done correctly, to replace the boat ride in Mexico. Much better opportunity to tie to actual Mexican culture than the current ride.
Would you place it above or below Brave?

Probably in that tier for me. I group Wall-E, Ratatouille and Brave together. They're artistically excellent but not movies that I'm going to rewatch all that often.
I'm going to watch it again just for all the details I missed.

How?

It's definitely better than any of the Cars films and Nemo films and is a stronger whole than Up, Wall-E, and Ratatouille.

I saw this on Saturday with my family. I don't think I have ever cried (sobbed?) so much watching a movie in my life, especially in theaters. It was a beautiful tribute to Mexican culture, music, and most importantly, family. It was emotionally exhausting, in the best way possible. Definitely one of the best Pixar movies of all time, imo.

I opened my mouth and those were the words that came out.

To each their own I guess. I came away from that movie emotionally spent.

And that was the problem for me. I didn't get emotionally connected to any of the other characters except Miguel, and even then I felt they did a better job establishing those connections in the first 15 minutes of Up than they did in the entire movie of Coco. Also, I'm heartless.

Watched that movie surrounded by my own family. I didn't even need to care about the characters (which I did). I cared about my family. Which was the whole message. You couldn't connect to the love between a father and his daughter?

Bugs life higher than Dory, Monsters Inc, Rat? Wow....

Love Bug's Life. A fun adventure with Pixar's best villain. Dory was pretty mediocre and forced, Monsters was fun, but Randall is a weak antagonist and the movie has some lulls. Rat is a favorite of mine, but some of the human scenes don't grab me. I love the critic monologue at the end though.

Dory is one of my favorites - a beautiful love story of parents to a child with a disability. One of the best of Pixar IMO,.and better than the original. Bugs life has always been among the "Meh" Pixar films for me, along with either of the Cars sequels.
