Are any reviews/numbers in yet for this? I do know my MIL, SIL and her children went, and they all hated it.

My elderly mother, my 50 yr old self, and my 14 yr old daughter all really enjoyed the movie. The Frozen “short” that was approx 30 min long was too much but none of us particularly like Frozen. That made the time in the theater pretty long. We really enjoyed Coco. It might net be the best theme for the preschool age group - centered around the day of the dead.
Yes, critics have been very positive. I loved it, as have other DISers, although it does have some dark/serious plot elements and is IMO not for very young kids. We have a thread about it going on the Community board here.
Not every movie is everyone's cup of tea. For those who disliked it, I'd be curious to know why (without revealing any spoilers).
Just as one data point as far as ages - I have an 8 year old, a 5 (almost 6) year old, and a 3 year old. They all enjoyed it - though the 3 year old was getting a bit dignity by the end (though between previews, the Frozen "short", and the movie itself that was about 2.5 hours all in.
My 5 year old really seemed into it
Thanks for the first-hand info. I don't have kids and sometimes I'm that old lady who presumes to know what they like.
I Know this thread is about the movie but wonder if this will make it as a ride in Mexico epcot?!
I'm surprised they didn't like it. I loved it. I cried and I almost never cry when I watch movies.
It’s difficult for me to see how someone could have *hated* it. I guess if you went into it thinking you were going to get more comedy, you would probably be disappointed - but the story is so heartwarming and, more importantly, original!
The Frozen short OTOH - I could have seriously done without...and I liked Frozen.
The rumor of Coco being an overlay/replacement to the Caballeros ride has been out there for a while - I am sure the fact the film is doing well and is well received only increases those chances
