COCO: Theatrical Poster, Voice Cast and Characters Revealed!

Pixar's upcoming film Coco delves into the Land of the Living and the Dead, told through the vantage point of a 12 year-old Mexican boy named Miguel. Miguel dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz. Along with his adorable and mischevious Xolo (Mexican hairless dog) named Dante, Miguel seeks to find answers to questions he has of his family history by venturing into the Land of the Dead. This morning, Disney and Pixar revealed not only a new theatrical poster for the film, but a wide array of the voice cast and characters who will populate both the Land of the Living and Land of the Dead. Check it all out after the break!

Disney•Pixar’s Coco is directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist on Monsters University), and produced by Darla K. Anderson (Toy Story 3.)
​Unkrich said of the film:

“These parallel worlds couldn’t be more different. One is the Rivera family’s charming and hardworking hometown of Santa Cecilia, and the other is the vibrant, rich land where loved ones go when they’ve passed. Coco introduces characters from both worlds on the eve of Día de los Muertos—one extraordinary night when a living boy named Miguel gets a glimpse of the other side.”

Molina added:

“Our voice cast is incredibly talented, helping to shape our eclectic group of characters. Each actor has told us they find something relatable in this film, so they’re finding it easy to capture the heart of this story—it’s all about family, so we hope that these characters will resonate with everyone.”
