Latin color.

The movie aesthetics it’s a bit different and doesn’t have the typical Pixar or Disney look. But still, we know that for sure the color and the art in the film will be gorgeous.

Also, this’s not the first movie that treats this theme and has this kind of twist on the story. As “The Book of the Life” did it back in 2014. So that’s another reason to have a lot of expectative about “Coco” as a reply from Pixar animation skill will surely be impressive.

But in the Rivera house music is forbidden, as it’s though is has cursed them. Due to a family tragedy involving Miguel’s great-grandfather abandoned his wife in order to follow his own dreams of performing.

But Miguel’s love for music is stronger leading Miguel to discovers an amazing link between himself and De la Cruz. Also making him more obsessed with his idol and accidentally entering the Land of the Dead. Where he discovers a skeletical friend, a trickster named Hector, and part of his familiy’s story. While Miguel looks for De la Cruz, and his family blessing to become a musician.

The voices.

The movie has also an epic trait that Disney tried out with Moana, as all the voices will be played by Latin-American ascendance actors. As Miguel will be voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, Ernesto de la Cruz by Benjamin Bratt, Hector the trickster by Gael García Bernal and Abuelita by Renée Victor. Also, the fact that Miguel’s dog and companion name is Dante is pretty sweet.
