Over the weekend our family went to see…
It’s a winner.
Great story.
Very touching.
Dripping with the customary Disney sentimentalism.
An unexpected plot twist.
And visually stunning.
My husband is a tad older than me says that he went to the movies as a kid there was always a cartoon, usually two that were shown before the main feature. They were typical cartoons of the time, each about five minutes that were called “shorts.”
“Coco” also has a short.
Only it’s not so short.
Nor is it called, as you notice, a short.
We didn’t know it was part of the deal, but we loved it.
Many on social media are in a lather, however, because of its length.
This is no short, especially when you consider it runs 20 minutes and there’s a theater full of kids anxiously awaiting the adventures of a young Hispanic boy.
Another tweet called the wait for the main attraction “excruciating.”
If you haven’t seen “Coco” yet you now have been given the heads up.
Personally, I wouldn’t miss the Frozen featurette. But if you’d rather skip it, just show up 20 minutes later.
