Despite his family's baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history.

Our take

A warm, colorful animated film about a boy, his family and the music they have kept apart. It is a gentle introduction to a Mexican tradition and a story about memory and love. Kids will enjoy the adventure and adults may need a tissue by the end. A good family movie night pick.
