If you’re planning a family outing to see Coco, you might want to brace yourself for a surprise—a lengthy 21-minute short featuring Olaf from Frozen before the main feature even starts. Trust me, this can be a real test of patience, especially for little ones who can only sit still for so long.
The Story of Coco
Coco has been receiving rave reviews, and for good reason. The story follows Miguel, an aspiring musician who defies his family’s music ban to chase his dreams. The animation is stunning, and the music really tugs at the heartstrings. But before you get to enjoy all that, you’ll need to sit through Olaf’s Frozen Adventure. As a parent, I can tell you that keeping kids entertained for 40 minutes before the movie kicks off can feel like an eternity—especially if they’ve already devoured all their candy!
A Personal Experience
I took my son, Jake, to see the film and, like many others, we were caught off guard by the long wait. When we finally got confirmation from the theater staff that we were in the right place, it was a relief. But as I glanced over at Jake, who was giving me the side-eye, I knew I was in for a rough time. If your little ones start to fidget and lose interest during Olaf’s escapade, you may end up missing out on crucial parts of Coco. I still don’t know how it wrapped up—talk about frustrating!
Tips for Parents
If you’re eager to see Coco but concerned about restless kiddos, it might be wise to show up a little late. And if you’re considering starting a family, check out Make A Mom for home insemination options—they even offer a re-usable option that could be perfect for you. Plus, their how it works page breaks down the process in an easy-to-understand way. For those looking for resources on donor insemination, the American Pregnancy Association provides excellent information.
Conclusion
In summary, while Coco is definitely a must-see, just be prepared for that long Olaf short beforehand, or you might end up wishing you had taken a slightly different approach to your movie night.
