Sullivan’s Travels may not quickly come to mind when watching Monsters, Inc., but after examining both films, there is a connection in not only their themes but their structures as well.
Coco is a refreshingly respectful look at Mexican culture, told from a child’s perspective but in a surprisingly poignant way as well.
Coco is the first non-sequel from Pixar since 2015’s The Good Dinosaur, and it’s currently the only one on their official slate.
For me, the way a film looks is nearly as important as how good it is. I can remember leaving several theatres saying, “Wow, that movie was terrible, but it looked amazing!” Film is a visual media after all, and cinematographers work extrememly hard to present audiences with beautiful and stunning imagery even if the film doesn’t work as a whole – I’m looking at you, Prometheus.
