Coco(《寻梦环游记》), Disney’ s latest cartoon movie, did a successful job in showing the afterlife and people’s memories(记忆) of their dead family members.

The movie comes from the Mexican(墨西哥) holiday of Dia de los Muertos(亡灵节). The young boy Miguel loves music so much. However, his family all say NO to his musical dream. That really lets him down, so he runs away from home. On Dia de los Muertos, he goes to the “Land of the Dead” by accident(偶然). There, Miguel meets his dead family members and has an adventure(冒险). Only after the experience does he know how much his family love him.

In the movie, the “Land of Dead” is not a scary place. There are friendly skeletons(骷髅). On Dia de los Muertos, they can cross a bridge of flowers to “visit” their living family members. As long as their family put their photos on a family shrine(神龛), they can do this every year. If not, their spirits(灵魂) will disappear into the air.

The movie sends a clear and warm message about the importance of family. Family is at the center of Mexican culture. On Dia de los Muertos, people in Mexico share food and drinks to remember their ancestors(祖先), just like the people in the movie. The movie teaches kids to keep and respect(尊重) the memory of their elders.
