There’s a moment, 26 minutes and nine seconds into Disney’s Coco, where the film’s departed souls are trying to clear a customs desk in the afterlife. It’s a moment that Mary* can see clearly without ever looking at the screen. She’s seen Coco more than a thousand times, easy.Mary’s sons, Ryder* and Murphy*, adore it.
