Have you seen Disney•Pixar’s “COCO”? If you haven’t, you need to! What a great movie! I have watched it twice since receiving it to review with my family and we all agree, it is a great family movie!

I love all the color and fun songs! My kids thought this movie was really interesting and they loved the fun characters in it. We enjoyed some fun movie night things from Disney•Pixar’s “COCO”, like a warm blanket to cuddle up in while we watch this fun movie, some delicious and very colorful popcorn that tasted SO good (like fruit loops!), some fun skulls to color with the chalk markers and more! What a fun box to open up!
