The movie's thoroughly engrossing vibe persists right up until Miguel enters
the aforementioned Land of the Dead, after which point Coco morphs into a Miyazaki-esque fantasy riddled with admittedly creative yet woefully over-the-top elements (ie there's just nothing to connect to within the film's padded - out midsection).
Including riffs on classic rock tunes like «Black Betty» and» Eye
of the Tiger», as well as a callback to the
aforementioned Land of the Livid
Dead in the form
of Granny's World Tour (a level in which guitar playing zombie grandma's surf throughout the stage on flying coffins), these levels are a marvel to even gaze upon, and are even more thrilling to play through.
