I was hoping they’d do this - Coco sounds good but a 30 minute Frozen film before it was enough to keep us away. Now we might go see it, but I have to say there’s a good number of films out now giving it a run for my money.

Coco was excellent in my opinion, one of the better films in the last few years. The short was ok for what it was. I think it would’ve been better suited running on abc or the Disney channel though. It is too long to be a “short” like the others that run before the films and it made for a really long sit in a theater.

I still don’t understand why Frozen was placed in front of the film. Were they trying to draw people in? I just didn’t get why it was there in the first place.

Frozen Adventure was originally going to play on ABC, but Disney decided to put it in front of Coco after Cars 3 went into theaters. The official story Disney is telling is that Frozen Adventure was just too good to put on TV - that it was so cinematic it would be best viewed in theaters. Fans, critics, and reviewers have all pointed out though that Disney seemed worried Coco would fail after Cars 3 fell short of expectations, and that they likely felt Frozen would guarantee Coco be a success. As to whether or not Frozen is actually responsible for Coco’s ticket sales can probably not be calculated, but the press has definitely been bad, and pretty much everyone has called Disney out for being opportunistic

I think they assumed CoCo wasn’t going to do well and though sticking this short in front would help

It's probably best to just let it go...

I kinda figured but they did a poor job of advertising Coco. Around here it wasn’t advertised at all. Theater was packed though.

Not sure. I would think it’s released at some point.
