Disney Pixar has this week released the first trailer for its new Coco movie which will be opening in theatres later this year from November 22nd, 2017 onwards.
The latest Disney creation from those that brought you Toy Story, Finding Dory, Inside Out and more tells the story about Miguel who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz.
The Storyline and Characters
The movie centers around Miguel, a young boy with a deep passion for music. Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). This ban on music is a significant part of the plot, adding layers of mystery and intrigue as to why Miguel’s family holds such a strong aversion to music.
Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. This vibrant world is depicted with Pixar’s signature attention to detail and creativity, offering a visual feast for the audience. The Land of the Dead is not just a backdrop but a character in itself, filled with its own rules, inhabitants, and culture.
Along the way, Miguel meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history. Hector’s character adds a layer of humor and complexity to the story, making their journey both entertaining and emotionally resonant.
Creative Team and Production
Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”), Coco promises to be a masterpiece of storytelling and animation. Lee Unkrich’s previous work on Toy Story 3, which was both critically acclaimed and beloved by audiences, sets high expectations for Coco. Adrian Molina’s involvement as co-director and story artist ensures that the narrative will be rich and engaging.
The production team has gone to great lengths to ensure cultural authenticity and respect. They have consulted with cultural experts and incorporated traditional Mexican music and folklore into the film. This dedication to authenticity not only enriches the story but also provides a meaningful representation of Mexican culture.
