Coco | Pixar / Lee Unkrich | Now playing | #1 all-time in Mexico

I wouldn't be surprised if this is Pixar's 2017 November film

Should definitely be a fall release, whatever year it comes out

[Empire]

[Blankments]

Fall 2017 is confirmed, thus I feel like this can be moved to BOD as that confirms pretty much the November 22, 2017 date

Coco is a fine title, but I thought the original title was better. But either way, I'm happy this project hasn't fallen apart somehow and that Pixar is actually making their very first movie musical. I'm game!

[Fancyarcher]

 

I love the logo. The animation looks like it's gonna be pretty great.

[Blankments]

The musical aspect still hasn't been confirmed btw

If they had gone with the Dia de Los Muertos title, it could have risked raising the ire of the Mexican community again. Remember a couple of years ago when Disney tried to trademark the phrase for film use, and a bunch of people flipped out and accused them of hijacking/appropriating Mexican culture? (I specifically remember a Cartoon Brew article trashing Disney, and holding up Book of Life as the "true" Dia de Los Muertos movie, by virtue of actually having been conceived by a Mexican.)

I think Coco is good, and fits with the whole "short title" ethos at Disney/Pixar.

Yeah, I guess. Plus it fits with Disney's generic titles, and it's not a bad name for a film either.

One of the most generic one word movie titles ever!

 

True. I don't know if Pixar is deliberately doing this. Remember UP? However, they have proven many, many times that it's all about marketing and quality.

[kayumanggi]

I am really happy they didn't cancel it.

This!

[Alpha]

Coco?

But seriously, happy this is actually getting made after several delays?

[kayumanggi]

They are complete!

 

[DAR]

This one intrigues me the most

The main character hauls around a guitar. It's gotta be a major theme.

[CJohn]

They are complete!

I guess Cars 3 is 2018 and Incredibles 2 is 2019.

[kayumanggi]

I guess Cars 3 is 2018 and Incredibles 2 is 2019.

 

Most probably. Summer 2018 is Pixar (CARS III), Winter 2018 is Disney (GIGANTIC). Summer 2019 is Pixar (THE INCREDIBLES II), winter 2019 is Disney (FROZEN II?).

Expect big numbers from Latin America.

Is Miguel, 12 year old protagonist of COCO, Pixar's first Latino hero? #D23Expo

Excited to lift the curtain a bit on what we’ve been working on so hard. #Coco #D23EXPO pic.twitter.com/bDGFzZo0WC
