STREAMING Warm (or tear) up with Pixar’s best Kelly Lawler USA TODAY

There's a new Pixar movie coming to theaters, which means it's time for gor- geous animation, laughter and (probably) tears. Coco, the latest from the animation studio, hits theaters Nov. 22, telling the story of young a Mexican boy, Miguel (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez), who is obsessed with music and ends up taking an adventure in the Land of the Dead. It's the kind of colorful, heart- warming and family-oriented story we're used to seeing from Pixar. But if one Pixar film is not enough for you, fear not. We picked out the two Pix- ar movies that are currently available to stream on a subscription service, plus three of our favorites available to rent or buy. BYO tissues.
