Coco is probably my favorite Pixar movie. My grandfather had Alzheimer’s and near the end he was largely unable to communicate but still knew how to sing and remembered words to songs.

When Mama Coco sings at the end it broke me. I cried harder than I’ve probably ever cried in my adult life. It felt incredible. I realized I hadn’t really ever mourned my grandfather, because his death was years of slowly fading away. Such a powerful catharsis.

Wish was horseshit though. Completely forgettable, even the kids don’t want to watch it again.

I watched the first half of it on a plane ride and literally forgot about it until this comment. I don't think I'll ever see the ending

Luca sucked, turning red had positive reviews but wasn't memorable, Coco had some great songs and some staying power, encanto rode high on Lin Manuel Miranda's lyrics, and Moana was strong.

Strange worlds fell flat, Elemental failed, Wish flopped, Lightyear was a let down, Raya and the Last Dragon was only "fine", and Rons Gone Wrong was forgettable, but mostly good.

Not to mention their live action failures.

Luca sucked

What's wrong with you, stupido?

I honestly loved Elemental and Encanto. Coco also solid but would be my third fav of the ones you listed.

So popular they're already doing it again!
