It's true that Coco hits a few too many familiar beats, particularly in its opening minutes, which play
like Moana en Español — impossible
dream, disapproving family, doofy animal sidekick, questionable
cultural sensitivity and all.

cultural,
dream, mythological and religious symbols, I am beginning to believe that the most interesting signs are the images that appear and keep pressing on one's mind with no explanation - unexpected images that flash across the brain when phrases
like «war by proxy,» «turn to salt» or «separation of church and state» are heard.
