Watched two Pixar movies yesterday and today.

The first was Coco.

Brilliant, fast paced, with great music and a family message.

If you play music you will be drawn in by the theme.

The patriarchal figure has run off to follow his music dream and music has been banned by the family.

The treatment of death in the Mexican culture was fascinating and beautiful.

I have a completely different idea about the "Day of the Dead" than before the movie.

Some nice plot twists. Really a beautiful movie.



Today I watch "Soul".

A Jazz musician moonlighting as teacher gets to follow his dream but dies on the way to his audition.

A much less accessible movie than Coco. Very deep and thoughtful but one I will need to watch again. Makes you question what life is all about and what is really important in your life.

Also BEAUTIFULLY animated with amazing sound track by Trent Reznor. At times other wordly Picasso-esque alternating with a New York city that just glows and hums.

So many say "animated" and think "kids movie" when in reality these are very deep circumspect movies that adults will be moved by and are well worth watching.
