In order to return home, Miguel learns that he must receive a blessing from a family member, and attempts to find them in the afterlife. This act transports Miguel to the Land of the Dead, where he becomes a part of the spirit world. He takes the advice of his deceased idol, Ernesto de la Cruz, and seizes his moment by literally seizing de la Cruz’s guitar from his altar. As his family prepares for the holiday Día de los Muertos, Miguel learns of a music contest: an opportunity to do what he loves most. After his great-great grandfather had left the family to pursue his own dream of music, the Rivera household, hurt and angry, established a generations-long ban on music. The animated film follows Miguel Rivera (Anthony Gonzalez), a young boy with a lifelong dream of becoming an accomplished musician. ![]() ![]() ![]() The film broke box office records in Mexico, passing The Avengers to become the highest grossing movie in the country’s history, and for good reason. Directed by Pixar veterans Lee UnKrich - director of Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo - and Adrian Molina, who directed Monsters University and The Good Dinosaur, the film featured the voices of Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Berna, and Benjamin Bratt. Lively, heartwarming, and genuine, Coco shows us the importance of family and appreciation for cultural traditions. “Never underestimate the power of music.” These words, spoken by the main character’s idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt), are the heart and soul of Disney Pixar’s latest film, Coco. ![]()
