Oh man, Coco broke me in the best and most beautiful way.
My grandpa had Alzheimer’s, and near the end he couldn’t remember anything but if we started singing hymns or Christmas carols he knew he would sing along with us. I never really mourned him properly; by the time he died he’d been slowly disappearing for years, so the funeral was more of a “good, he’s done suffering” deal.
At the end of Coco I cried harder than I’ve ever cried at any movie. It was like I had all this stuff pent up and never dealt with and didn’t realize it. It all came out in one massive wave of catharsis. It felt incredible.
Everyone dies two deaths, once when they die and again the last time another person thinks of them.
I, too, cry at the end of Coco.

Now it’s my favorite Pixar movie.
Most underrated Pixar film, IMO.
Also the premise of a book I enjoyed many years ago! The book in question explores the premise fairly extensively.
