Coco | Movie Review 2017

The awaited movie that was announced in 2012 finally revealed the first image of the characters in this musical and gave the names of the people who will be part of the cast.

Directed by Toy Story director Lee Unkrich, and produced by Darka K. Anderson and Adrian Molina, the film will be held in Mexico, during the celebration of Día de Muertos, and will hit cinemas in November 2017.

'Coco' tells the story of Miguel Rivera, a Mexican boy who comes from a family of cobblers who for generations have banned music because they believe they have been cursed by it; After Miguel's great-grandfather left his wife Imelda decades earlier to pursue his own acting dreams, and she had to take control as the matriarch of the family and declare that the music was dead for all the Rivera.

However, the passion and admiration that Miguel has for the late singer Ernesto de la Cruz take him to the Land of the Dead and there he meets souls of generations past of his own family, including his great-great-grandmother Imelda.

Accompanied by the cheating spirit of Hector and his dog Dante, Miguel will seek the opportunity to seek his idol and thus gain the blessing of his family to act and return to the Land of the Living before the time runs out.

Regarding the cast, Ulrich stated: "From the first day it was important for us that the whole cast is Latin. We focused and ended with a fantastic mix of people, some from Mexico and others from Los Angeles."

For his part, Gael Garcia announced on his Twitter account the participation that will have in this film and everything seems to indicate that the Mexican could not be more excited.
