Pixar officially initiates production on the sequel to Coco
Hype Alert: Pixar's 'Coco 2' on the Horizon!
In a thrilling turn of events at Disney's recent shareholders meeting, CEO Bob Iger revealed that Pixar is cooking up a sequel to the Academy Award-winning smash hit, 'Coco'. This family-friendly masterpiece, featuring the stellar talents of Gael Garcia Bernal and Anthony Gonzales, has kept the world captivated with its exploration of the vibrant Mexican Day of the Dead traditions. The heartwarming tale of Miguel, a young boy embarking on a thrilling journey to reconnect with his ancestors, has indeed left a lasting impression.
Here's what we know so far about 'Coco 2': Iger shared that this sequel, though in its infancy, will brim with laughter, emotion, and excitement. We can't contain our anticipation for more details! Reports suggest that the original creative team, director Lee Unkrich, co-director Adrian Molina, and producer Mark Nielsen, will be back to guide this film, preserving the magic of the original.
A 'Coco'-themed attraction is also being developed for Disney California Adventure as part of the Disneyland Resort's expansion plans. While neither the ride nor the sequel have a confirmed release date, it's intriguing to speculate if the movie could influence the ride's opening or vice versa. The construction for the 'Coco' ride is set to begin in 2026, with 'Coco 2' reportedly gracing our screens in 2029.
As a Mexican-American, I can't help but feel elated by the prospect of delving further into the mesmerizing world of Mexico's cherished celebration of the dead. I'm eagerly awaiting to witness how Pixar will once again tug at our heartstrings. Even listening to 'Remember Me' without shedding a tear seems nearly impossible.
