Pixar Prepares Coco 2: Diving Back into the Magic of Día de los Muertos


Info in Movie News | Pixar is officially developing the movie Coco 2, which is scheduled for release in 2029. This announcement was made by Disney's CEO, Bob Iger, at the annual Walt Disney Company shareholder's meeting. This sequel will once again be made by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina – the two people who greatly contributed to the success of the first movie.

According to Collider, In 2017, Coco sahled audiences with the cultural exploration of Día de los Muertos, emotionally touching music, and a beautiful family story. It is the story of the journey of Miguel Rivera from a small boy who wanted to play music even though his family is against it. His journey to the land of the dead introduces him to Héctor, who turns out to be his true ancestor. However, up to now, Pixar is still keeping its story plot of a sequel under wraps.

The development of Coco 2 is during the upsurge of the sequel trend at Pixar. Having set last year global box office record with Inside Out 2, the studio seems to be even more focused on the next installments of solid franchises. Some of the other movies in the pipeline include Toy Story 5 and The Incredibles 3. This decision is in line with Disney's and Pixar's strategy to react to the demand of the market which favors known characters over original stories.

With Unkrich and Molina returning to the movie, Coco 2 is anticipated to keep the emotional strength and visual magic that made the first movie so special. Will this sequel be able to bring about the same magical feeling? The answer will only be out in 2029.
