- This is probably the most colorful movie you'll ever see. Dazzling colors of all shades and hues exude from every single frame, making this a most joyful animation - even if didn't have any story (which it does). I guess that's part of the Mexican culture.
- The story revolves around a family in a village, whose each member has a different kind of magical ability ... except for the main heroine. And her lack of a magical gift makes the ending slightly predictable.
- As Pixar continues the develop adult-oriented themes in its animations, here Disney does the same - with a strange twist. Co-writer Lin-Manuel Miranda (the tradition-breaking writer of Hamilton and In the Heights) blames many of the current generation's problems on past generations. I as an adult could relate to that message, but couldn't understand how this would be helpful for children in a kids' movie - other than to provoke them to revolt against their parents and grandparents. Weird.
