It’s not just about heart, emotion and laughs with a Pixar film — there also is a tremendous amount of research and time that goes into getting its backdrops authentically right. That couldn’t be more the case than with the animation studio’s November hit Coco, which takes place during the Mexican holiday Dia de Los Muertos. Coco follows a young boy, Miguel, who wishes to be a star-studded crooner of standards, just like his grandfather, the legendary singer Ernesto de la…...

Coco — its Pixar movie (reportedly costing $175 million) set on the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead — the normally politically sensitive studio made a slight misstep. It tried to trademark the name Dia de los Muertos. The backlash was understandably ferocious, with a petition against Disney drawing more than 20,000 signatures.
"[It] purely had to do with us not having a title yet," says director Lee Unkrich. "That triggered a bunch of stuff, and it really blew up. It was heartbreaking for me, because we were working...

The animated Pixar film Coco was on top of the box office this week for the second week in a row, solidifying its position as the biggest hit of the early winter season.

Over the last two decades, Pixar Animation Studios has been known for its groundbreaking advances in computer animation, as well as its filmmakers’ ability to create striking characters and worlds with which people instantly fall in love. This week, its newest film, Coco, breaks newer and similarly important ground, at least for itself if not the entire industry: Pixar is telling a story about non-white characters. Coco is not only set in Mexico, but is heavily steeped in the country’s cultural traditions, centering its story around Dia de los Muertos.

2017-11-23T05:56:10-08:00'Coco' Has a Strong Holiday Opening
The holiday weekend got started very early, and the Pixar animated family film Coco was on top of it. The movie earned strong ticket sales in Tuesday previews, setting it up for a solid five-day holiday take. Justice League outperformed Coco on Tuesday, but it's almost certain to give up the weekend as a whole to the animated film.
Via The Hollywood Reporter.
Coco has a lot to be thankful for, as it grossed $2.3 million in Tuesday-night previews.
The animated movie from Pixar and Disney, about the Mexican holiday Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), opens on Wednesday in 3,948 theaters, including nearly 2,800 3D locations over and 268 screens offering the film in Spanish. Over its five-day Thanksgiving weekend debut, it is expected to earn $55 million to $60 million domestically, though there's plenty of room for upside.

Chicago – “Coco” bears all the visual hallmarks of the Pixar Studio at its best, however its story bears the more recent symptoms of creative exhaustion. In this story, a young boy named Miguel (voice of Anthony Gonzalez) aims to follow his heart and pursue music, but toe tapping tunes have been strictly forbidden in his home.
…since his great-great grandfather left the family to go out on the road and pursue his own dreams.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
The only one who doesn’t immediately shut down Miguel’s dreams is his great grandmother Coco, but that’s largely because she’s old and hard of hearing. After Miguel hears about a contest in the plaza, he aims to break away from the family business and take his chances. But he is found out and his grandmother smashes his guitar.

In Coco, Disney's Nov. 22 release set on Mexico's Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, young Miguel (played by Anthony Gonzalez) is inadvertently transported to the "Land of the Dead." The vividly colored buildings he finds there are more than just Pixar eye candy. According to production designer Harley Jessup, the huge vertical towers actually reflect a carefully researched and "layered history of Mexico."
"At the bottom of each tower," explains Jessup, "are the Aztec and Mayan pyramids; above that, Spanish colonial period buildings; above that are Mexican Revolution era and Victorian era buildings; and then into the 20th century and modern day....

The next original film from Pixar will be Coco, a grand fantasy inspired by Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead. It's a musical – not the kind where characters burst into unexplained song, but one where the characters are musicians and singers so they occasionally bring a little music into the story in a more natural way – it's a magical fantasy, and it's a family saga.
All three of these elements are so closely wound in the scenes I have previewed – the music, the magic, the family drama – that, really, they're all pretty much the same thing. But Pixar are playing their cards quite close to their chests in the marketing here and I feel like I could easily drop more spoilers than I...

Could an animation which deals with themes relating to death and the afterlife be the thing to give Pixar the push it’s been craving for the last couple of years? After years of being at the top of their game, Pixar take things even further by challenging themselves and their audiences with the release of Coco, a film which references Mexican culture and tradition in the most positive way. Coco is not only a brave departure from Pixar and Disney’s Anglocentric traditions, but can also be regarded as a love letter to Mexico and its people.
An early footage presentation given to the press this week in London showcased the brilliance of co-director and screenwriter Adrian Molina, who was in attendance alongside Producer Darla K Anderson. In their presentation, the pair were able to divulge some of the secrets behind this highly anticipated animation and what to expect when it’s finished. Being of Mexican descent, Molina admits to using his own family’s experiences and Hispanic background to tell a story relating to the tradition of Dia de los Muertos (The Day of of the Dead), a festival in which Mexican families honour and remember their dead.
Molina also admits to being very inspired by artist José Guadalupe Posada’s and his Dia de los Muertos iconic artwork. With colourful representations of skulls, bones and the celebratory iconography of death and the afterlife, the film is bound to strike a chord with those familiar with this tradition and even those who are less au-fait with it.
Co-Directed by Lee Unkrich (Finding Nemo, Toy Story 3) Coco follows the adventures of 12 year-old Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) who finds himself in the land of the Dead after going against the wishes of his family and stealing something valuable from a deceased local celebrity. Unkrich, Molina and their team went though a grueling process in selecting Gonzalez for the role. As both Darla K Anderson and Molina reiterated at the presentation, the role had to go to someone who not only could act, but who could also sing and be a good all-rounder.
Darling of indie cinema and hugely talented Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal also lends his voice to this production. He plays a dead entertainer who wants to help Miguel in his quest of getting back to the land of the living. Benjamin Pratt voices a character named Ernesto de la Cruz, a traditional singer and performer who according to Molina is inspired by classical Mexican cinema.
The unfinished footage, although missing quite a bit of artwork, shows the huge potential attached to this production. Molina and Anderson talked candidly about the camaraderie on set with members of the crew who were from Mexican descent also chipping in with ideas and correcting any inaccuracies, which is sure to put any doubts about cultural appropriation to rest.
Equally, it is also worth mentioning that any doubts or misgivings anyone might have had regarding the universality of this story, are quickly dissipate the more we find out about this beautifully crafted production and the people who worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition. Coco might be seen by some as a direct response to Trump’s America, its positive outlook on the Mexican community will surely help dissipate decades of stereotypes in Hollywood cinema and are sure to help those who want to make stories about their own communities.
Tonally, the film is rather dark in its subject, but is never short on laughs and mischief. The dialogue, although in English, is peppered with Spanish words and hugely affecting and joyous musical pieces, which are sure to stick with you even after leaving the cinema.
Coco strikes the right balance between trying to please the adults in the room, without ever alienating its younger audiences. Add to that, the presence of a “not so cute” hairless dog names Danté and you have all the ingredients needed for a well rounded, charming and enjoyable feature. And whether we like it or not, the use of skull iconography, which has become prominent even in the UK around Halloween time recently, is only likely to get more popular with kids wanting to emulate their new favourite Disney movie.
On the whole, Coco looks to be destined for success, judging by the reaction to the film at the presentation, and even if it fails to garner as much interest as its predecessors, its makers should be commended for stepping out their comfort zone and giving us this truly wonderful story.
Pixar’s Coco arrives in the Us on November 22, and in the UK on January 19, 2018.
The post We’ve seen some of Coco and it’s a dark and beautiful new direction for Pixar appeared first on HeyUGuys.
Could an animation which deals with themes relating to death and the afterlife be the thing to give Pixar the push it’s been craving for the last couple of years? After years of being at the top of their game, Pixar take things even further by challenging themselves and their audiences with the release of Coco, a film which references Mexican culture and tradition in the most positive way. Coco is not only a brave departure from Pixar and Disney’s Anglocentric traditions, but can also be regarded as a love letter to Mexico and its people.
An early footage presentation given to the press this week in London showcased the brilliance of co-director and screenwriter Adrian Molina, who was in attendance alongside Producer Darla K Anderson. In their presentation, the pair were able to divulge some of the secrets behind this highly anticipated animation and what to expect when it’s finished. Being of Mexican descent, Molina admits to using his own family’s experiences and Hispanic background to tell a story relating to the tradition of Dia de los Muertos (The Day of of the Dead), a festival in which Mexican families honour and remember their dead.
Molina also admits to being very inspired by artist José Guadalupe Posada’s and his Dia de los Muertos iconic artwork. With colourful representations of skulls, bones and the celebratory iconography of death and the afterlife, the film is bound to strike a chord with those familiar with this tradition and even those who are less au-fait with it.
Co-Directed by Lee Unkrich (Finding Nemo, Toy Story 3) Coco follows the adventures of 12 year-old Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) who finds himself in the land of the Dead after going against the wishes of his family and stealing something valuable from a deceased local celebrity. Unkrich, Molina and their team went though a grueling process in selecting Gonzalez for the role. As both Darla K Anderson and Molina reiterated at the presentation, the role had to go to someone who not only could act, but who could also sing and be a good all-rounder.
Darling of indie cinema and hugely talented Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal also lends his voice to this production. He plays a dead entertainer who wants to help Miguel in his quest of getting back to the land of the living. Benjamin Pratt voices a character named Ernesto de la Cruz, a traditional singer and performer who according to Molina is inspired by classical Mexican cinema.
The unfinished footage, although missing quite a bit of artwork, shows the huge potential attached to this production. Molina and Anderson talked candidly about the camaraderie on set with members of the crew who were from Mexican descent also chipping in with ideas and correcting any inaccuracies, which is sure to put any doubts about cultural appropriation to rest.
Equally, it is also worth mentioning that any doubts or misgivings anyone might have had regarding the universality of this story, are quickly dissipate the more we find out about this beautifully crafted production and the people who worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition. Coco might be seen by some as a direct response to Trump’s America, its positive outlook on the Mexican community will surely help dissipate decades of stereotypes in Hollywood cinema and are sure to help those who want to make stories about their own communities.

A Dia de los Muertos world and possessing the body of a T-Rex, what more do you want in Super Mario Odyssey? Nintendo revealed that and so much more in their brand-new trailer!
When Super Mario Odyssey was first announced I, admittedly, made a lot of jokes about the idea of Mario being in the real world and Bowser looking like a pimp. However, today's new trailer from Nintendo has changed my tune, ten-fold, as we get our first look at the new powers and worlds that will be in store when the new Mario game comes to Nintendo Switch.
Everything about this game just looks fun. The graphics, the facial mechanics, the varying worlds, and even the combat seem fantastic. Speaking of combat, my initial thoughts when I saw Mario throw the hat at an enemy, in the first trailer, was that it was just a weapon. Today's trailer...

From the director of Toy Story 3 comes Coco. Here's the first trailer...
Pixar has dropped the first trailer for its latest animated venture, Coco, the story of a boy who magically finds himself in the Land of the Dead after playing his movie idol's famous guitar. From the looks of the trailer, this movie looks to be a big homage to the days of classic Mexican ranchera films featuring such staples of the genre as Vicente Fernandez and Antonio Aguilar. The Dia de los Muertos backdrop, then, is the magical element that makes this movie a Pixar film.

If anyone is curious, it does seem that there's something ghostly going on with the main character in the trailer. The word 'coco' in this context is a reference to a ghost in Hispanic folklore.

There’s less than a week to go now until the first trailer for Pixar’s Coco, and the studio is stoking our appetites with the release of a fresh poster for the film. It doesn’t give too much away, but shows off some of the studio’s Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) aesthetics, together with a cute mongrel named Dante.
Given that the film is about exploring the Land of the Dead, Dante is all too appropriate. According to Pixar, the film follows the young Miguel (voiced by newcomer Anthony Gonzalez), who has high ambitions of following in the footsteps of his hero Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt) as a top musician. Unfortunately, he’s stymied by his family’s mysterious generations-old ban on members becoming musicians.
Why they’re so strict remains a mystery – but as a consequence, Miguel is soon plunged into...

Disney has released the first photo from Pixar's upcoming new animated film Coco. According to EW, it gives us a look at a pivotal moment in the story, which follows a 12-year-old boy named Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician despite his family's ban on music. As the previously released synopsis explains:
Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.

Four years ago, Pixar teased plans to craft a brand new animation about Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican holiday in which friends and family gather in unison to remember lost loved ones. Lee Unkrich and Darla K. Anderson of Toy Story 3 fame were elected at the helm, before the project quickly went dark.
Bringing an end to that radio silence today is Entertainment Weekly, after premiering the poignant synopsis for Pixar’s latest original movie. It’s now known as Coco, and will star Renée Victor, Benjamin Bratt, Gael Garcia Bernal and the up-and-coming Anthony Gonzalez as Miguel, a young Mexican who longs to become a famous musician. Said to be one of Pixar’s most musical projects to date – without strictly being classed as a full-blown musical – Unkrich stressed the importance of assembling an all-Latino cast while chatting to EW, before revealing that...

Mexico City has decided to hold its first ever Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) parade after seeing how cool the concept looked in the James Bond film Spectre. News 18 reports that the parade will start at Angel of Independence monument and end at the historic Zocalo square, and attendees will see many of the props and costumes present in the film. The whole event happens on October 29th.
Pretty crazy that a film has inspired a real-life event that many assumed already happened! As Reddit points out, however, this isn't the first time this has happened. In fact, The Catalina Islands now host a Catalina Wine Mixer after the comedy film Step Brothers hyped it up so much!

By virtue of its premise alone, "Suicide Squad" stands to be one of the more unique superhero movies to hit theaters in a while. Not only will the film feature a whole host of "supers," but it'll be a whole host of supervillains. While the film isn't set to come out until August of this year (around 7 months ago), Warner Bros is making the wise choice in raising awareness as much as possible for the relatively unknown brand. A trailer is due out tomorrow, but until then, director David Ayer has given us a series of character posters, as well as a full-on movie poster for us to pore over.

Boy and the World is the animated Playtime that you never knew you wanted. Like Jacques Tati’s masterpiece, Boy and the World is a plea for the world to reclaim its humanism away from the clutches of technology. In the case of this film, that request goes to apocalyptic levels as technology swallows up everything from the music that reminds the main character of his home to the vegetation that serves as his playground.
Alê Abreu‘s film has its own singular pulse from its first moment as kaleidoscopic imagery transports the viewer to a pastel odyssey of vegetation animals and our own version of Monsieur Hulot, a tireless boy made up of five red lines, shorts, eyes, dimples and of course three hairs.

Opening a full fortnight earlier than its planned debut in North America, the early reviews for Sam Mendes’ much-anticipated spy sequel Spectre have found their way online – and they’re a mixed bag.
Arriving in the seemingly inescapable shadow of 2013’s Skyfall, the director’s clandestine follow-up was always going to be fighting an uphill battle, and these early, somewhat divisive reactions are emblematic of those weighty expectations.
Universally, though, every outlet was full of praise for Spectre‘s much-touted opening sequence. Orbiting on the famed Mexican Dia de los Muertos celebration, the production drafted in hundreds of extras, two daring helicopter pilots and scores of stunt coordinators. The result is, apparently, one of the best pre-credits segment in MGM’s prestigious series.
Without further ado, though, here are some early verdicts coming out of the film’s UK premiere.

Disney has decided that today is a fine day to release news of a whole host of upcoming releases. Some we knew about, others remain cloaked in mystery, but at least we have a rough idea of when new films from Pixar, Marvel and the Mouse House’s own Feature Animation and DisneyToon teams will be arriving.As usual, we’d caution that these are the Us dates and that there will likely be shifts for UK cinemagoers – Marvel films in particular tend to launch a week or so here before opening Stateside, while the animated offerings usually kick off in America and then wait a few weeks or even months before their arrival in Blighty. So here’s what we can expect from 2017 onwards… Cars 3 will drive in June 2017, no doubt welcomed with opened arms and then carried aloft on… No, sorry… Can’t keep that one up.
