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.

If you loved Coco, the closest films we have are The Good Dinosaur (2015), Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). All three share Coco's warm and whimsical feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Three Caballeros (1944).
