In Theaters: December 1, 2017

There are zero wide releases this weekend.  But I missed last week because it was Thanksgiving and I was too stuffed with turkey to even type.  Last week there was just one wide release.

Coco

Miguel crosses to the land of the dead.  The dead zone?  The phantom zone?  The dark dimension?  Something.

I'm not clear on why it's called Coco, but it's about Miguel, who is an older child in a Mexican family.  It's Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and the family is celebrating.  Miguel somehow crosses over to the other side using his grandfather's guitar (he wants to be a musician).  On the other side, he learns about himself and his destiny, and also has a limited amount of time to get back to the land of the living if he wants to stay living.  He also meets his dead grandfather while on the other side!

Coco is rated PG for thematic elements.

It's Pixar, so it's probably a really good movie.
