A Celebration of the Music from Coco

Was great until.. ALWAYS have to throw in half nude women.... WHY?!?! But WHY?!?! It detracts from the cleanness and purity of the performance. Besides the fact some semi nude dancers where dancing provocatively, not n'sync with theme of performance. Sad indeed.

I like that they did more songs than the ones in the movie. It was really nice music. Sadly the original Miguel voice isn't there. My favourite song is "Remember me". I want to explore mexican culture in the future.

I was hoping Anthony Gonzalez from Coco would be singing as Miguel but we didn't get to see him in the special on Disney Plus because his voice has changed. Now his younger brother performed his songs, but they sounded the same though. The concert played all of the Coco songs and then once they ran out, they started playing famous Latin American songs. 80% of the songs on the special were performed in Spanish. Put on the subtitles to enjoy it more so you'll know what the song is actually saying. My favorite songs were where Alex Rodriguez sang and this one song about kisses at the end of the special. Go ahead and watch it. It's only 40 minutes long.

Next in the Disney Plus films section was this filmed version of a concert from the Hollywood Bowl celebrating the music from, and that which inspired, Pixar's "Coco".

Introduced by Benjamin Bratt and Eva Longoria, various singers, dancers and puppeteers bring to life a celebration concert combining the songs from "Coco" with various Spanish language standards.

I don't feel I can really write my customary 400 words on this one, it's essentially the concert, intercut with the film's stars, directors, the concert's director and other talking heads discussing what the film, concert or culture mean to them. For all that, it's only 47 minutes long.

The actual song and dance routines were excellent, as was the surrounding Disney magic. As this was (presumably) a one off gig, I think I'd have preferred a straight filming of the show from start to finish, and losing all the interview sections - as the performances are the bits that you want to see and those felt like dvd extras.

Love to see more concerts in a similar vein.

This musical experience on Disney+ includes many of the actors and actresses from the movie Coco, performing not only the songs from Coco, but other Mexican and Latin songs that contain the same feelings and messages from Coco. So whether you come from Mexican/Latin heritage or just enjoy learning about other cultures, this special will be appreciated by anyone who loved Coco.
