While we’re well aware that Cars 3 will be racing into cinemas this Summer, Pixar are pulling double duty this year with co-directors Lee Unkirk (Toy Story 3) and Adrian Molina's (The Good Dinosaur) Coco. Inspired the Mexican holiday Dia De La Muertos (or the Day of the Dead), the story follows the young, music obsessed Miguel (newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, despite his family’s baffling generations old ban on music. Following a mysterious chain of events, Miguel fins himself in the colourful Land of the Dead, where he teams up with the charming trickster Hector (Gael Garcia Bernal) to uncover the real story of his family’s history.
While obvious comparison’s will be made to 2014’s The Book of Life, there is no denying that Coco does look absolutely stunning, the Pixar style well suited to the colourful, Mexican interpretation of the Land of the Dead, and the movie’s promise of been primarily music focused is intriguing, been the first Pixar movie to really do that. And, of course, it does come chock full of the emotion and charm we’ve come to expect from the animation giant.
Released: November 22nd 2017
