Summary
Pixar's animated musical is set in the Mexican town of Santa Cecilia. Twelve-year-old Miguel Rivera wants to be a musician like his late idol, the singer Ernesto de la Cruz, but his shoemaking family has forbidden music for generations, ever since a great-great-grandfather walked out on them to pursue it. On Día de los Muertos, Miguel takes de la Cruz's guitar from the singer's tomb and is stranded in the Land of the Dead, visible only to his skeletal ancestors. Guided by a shabby trickster named Héctor, he has to obtain a family blessing and return home before sunrise — and the blessing his relatives offer comes with the condition that he give up music.
Coco is a 2017 animation, family and fantasy film starring Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal and Benjamin Bratt. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. Its certificate is PG. It runs 1h 45m. Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina directed it.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 994 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,082 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 2,179 of whom clear the calibration test.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Coco lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 994.
