(Làm việc theo cặp. Bộ phim hay nhất hoặc tệ nhất mà bạn từng xem là gì?)

COCO

Produced by Pixar Animation Studios in 2017 and directed by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, this Oscar-winning animation is set in the village of Santa Cecilla in Mexico. 'Coco' takes the viewers on a journey to explore the Mexican folklores and traditions told by a twelve-year-old boy named Miguel. At first, Miguel borrows the guitar in Ernesto de la Cruz's local mausoleum, which leads him to the Land of the Dead. Along the way, Miguel meets Hector the skeleton. Together, they set off to find a missing ancestor. In addition to the visuals, the soundtrack is superb with easy-to remember lyrics. Anthony Gonzalez also gives a great performance in dubbing Miguel in the film. Although the film contains funny bits, I still find myself wiping tears towards the end. For me, the word that best describes this film is 'awesome'. It's one of the best animation films that I've ever seen. In my view, it's suitable for adults and children alike.
