Can a film be called a masterpiece simply because of its subject matter or popularity?
Let me explain: when I saw Coco for the first time I expected an emotional, 100% original film, similar to The Incredibles, Toy Story or Monsters, Inc, but when I analysed it I found that it was full of narrative clichés:
1. Kids who want to realise their dreams at the expense of their family.

2. A key character in the plot who is always by the protagonist's side.
3. The character was dying and was saved at the last second.
4. A mother who finally learns from her mistakes and becomes more understanding of her family.
5. The good guys turn out to be bad guys in the end.
I won't deny that the animation and Mexican representation is excellent, but in terms of plot and narrative, Coco is way behind (in my opinion).
