Title: FOF Movie Review: Coco
Topic: Coco: Movie Review

Discussed by Adam Holz
with Plugged In (www.PluggedIn.com)

Adam Holz, with Focus on the Family’s “Plugged In”, offers an honest review of the new children’s movie “Coco”. Parents: Listen carefully and share this segment on social media so others know the truth!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is Pixar’s latest movie, “Coco”, a depiction of a pagan world-view? Is it in conflict with Christian beliefs?

Why is it so hard to find a good, Christ-focused movie to take the whole family to?

Should parents research movies before taking their children to see them?

Does “Coco” center around the Hispanic “Day of the Dead” celebration? Listen as Adam offers his honest opinion about the new children’s movie, “Coco”.

Do Hollywood screen writers occasionally create storylines contrary to Christian beliefs? Or, do they write stories that they think are true and normal?

Does “Coco” give children the wrong impression of heaven and hell, and even purgatory?

Why does Adam recommend parents discuss each movie AFTER they’ve seen it with their children? “We want to model for our children active engagement, critical thinking, and a comparative theological process,” Adam says. Ask your child: “How does this movie/TV show/song/book reflect our Christian belief?” Don’t just say: “This show is inappropriate. We aren’t going to watch it.” Explain why.
