Coco (2017), the Disney-Pixar animated feature, runs 1h 46min, or 105 minutes for the feature alone. It has no post-credits story scene, and viewers can choose standard or sing-along versions on streaming plus earlier disc and digital releases. Disney Movies lists the film at 1h 46min and rated PG official Coco page. Plan on that length for the story itself, not trailers, shorts, or bonus material.

How long is Coco?
Wikipedia, citing the AFI Catalog, gives the standard feature time as 105 minutes Wikipedia overview. That equals 1h 45min, one minute shy of Disney's 1h 46min listing.
The small gap reflects rounding, not different cuts. Treat 105 minutes as the feature-only answer when comparing schedules. Check whether a listing means feature-only before planning childcare, transit, or bedtime.
Why did theaters feel longer?
Early U.S. screenings paired Coco with Olaf's Frozen Adventure, a 21-minute Walt Disney Animation Studios short.
For the first three weeks, the seated program ran well past 105 minutes. That short no longer accompanies current streaming, rental, or disc play. Home viewers get the feature plus selected extras, not the extended theatrical bill.
Should you stay through the credits?
Do not expect a joke scene, sequel tease, or extra story after the final credit. Bustle reported at release that Coco keeps viewers seated without adding a traditional tag.
Staying still offers a quieter reward. Reports describe a sentimental photo collage around the credits and an extensive list of cultural advisors. Watch the collage if family photos and music carry meaning for you.
Which version should you watch?
Pick the standard version for first viewing and story focus. Pick sing-along for rewatching, learning lyrics, or keeping children engaged. What's On Disney Plus reports that Disney+ added a sing-along version with on-screen lyrics during songs on September 16, 2022 What's On Disney Plus report.
Both versions stream with subscription. The closing song also differs in feel from its in-story form. The end-credit "Remember Me" is a duet by Miguel and Natalia Lafourcade, released on the Walt Disney Records soundtrack November 10, 2017.
