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

[forg]

I like the new title, easier to market

[Ethan Hunt]

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

The more I hear about this film the more I think this really sound like The Book of Life (which is not necessarily a bad thing)

[The Futurist]

Katzenberg-ized.

This is purely speculation, but I predict it's going to have a much more energetic tone. Something like a kid friendly Slumdog Millionaire

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Despite all the sequels, I'm really excited for this lineup. The original stuff looks great, and I'm very hopeful for the sequels as well.

[Boxx93]

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?).

Actually, there is a March 2018 slot for an untitled Disney project, that project is most likely Gigantic, while the winter 2018 slot will surely be taken by Frozen 2.

 

Unless they anounce WIR 2 but that would be too much sequels in one year.

I think GIGANTIC is a tentpole that will benefit a lot from the winter holidays. What was Disney's last animated film in March?

[BK007]

March 2018 is Gigantic.

 

November 2017 could be Coco.

 

Apart from Good Dinosaur, this is most anticipated.

 

May not even watch Dory and 4 in theatres.

Zootopia.

 

Anyway, animation has been tentpoled in March already. 

[Claire of Themyscira]

My people are getting some recognition, the spotlight. Finally, a Pixar film I'll finally relate a ton to.

 

I hope this scalps every other Pixar film.

 

Get them pesos, Pixar. Get my people's butts in your seats.

Has anyone any idea what Coco could mean? Or is it the name of the main character?

The poster looks cute.

Zootopia.

There. ZOOTOPIA hasn't been released yet. And yes, that's true for other studios but not Disney. They have only had two March animated films: MEET THE ROBINSONS (didn't crack 100 M) in 2007 and MARS NEEDS MOMS in 2011 which bombed.

 

But I am fine with a March release. I just think a winter date is better.

I'm sure Disney does too.

But Good Dinosaurs delay simply meant that wasn't an option. And they certainly weren't going to bump their entire future slate back to accommodate. So March it is. I don't think it's an issue...Disney hasn't ever released a good animated movie in March. And March had only gotten stronger over time.

A nickname for Socorro too.

 

That's what I assumed first. Lmfao.

 

I was like, "YAS, TIA! GET THEM COINS!"

Separating this from The Book of Life is going to this film's number one adversity. This isn't like Inside Out where there were plenty of shows, shorts and even actual Disney theme park attractions that vaguely resembles the premise. This is an animated CGI film about Dia De Los Muertos that focuses on a character who carries around a guitar. Holy shit. Pixar has their work cut out for them, but I think they can do it.

Lee Unkrich, do your thing. I have faith in you.

Book of Life is not well know by General Audiences. Coco will not be out for a while and has a Pixar brand helping and probably a different story and definately a different animation so I do not think it hurts that it is about the same holiday. Maybe it even will help that Book of Life came out so Dia de Los Muertos holiday is now more well-known. Kind of like Jurassic World might help The Good Dinosaur by making dinosaurs more popular (not that it is the same).

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Jesus Christ, a Pixar movie talking about death? I can already say that it is going to be epic.
