Every 2018 Oscar Nominee Ranked From Worst To Best

17. Coco

Nominations: 2 - Best Animated Feature Film, Best Original Song ("Remember Me")

Though it doesn't quite boast the thematic and aesthetic brilliance of Pixar's very best works, Coco is another strong showing from the animation studio, riffing on mortality and family in a way that's appropriate for kids and adults alike.

The visuals are terrific and the Oscar-nominated song is a misty-eyed earworm, so for while Coco falls ever-so-slightly short of its full potential, it is a charming, often hilarious and incredibly poignant offering with some surprising divergences into narrative darkness.

It's got its Best Animated Feature Film Oscar already sewn up, that's for sure.
