Disney-Pixar has unveiled the
first trailer for Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina's upcoming feature-length animation
Coco.
Starring Gael Garcia Bernal,
Benjamin Bratt, Anthony Gonzalez, and Renée Victor, Coco follows Miguel, a
12-year-old boy who dreams of becoming a musician in a music-hating household.
Coco opens in theaters on
November 22.
Coco follows the secret musical
ambitions of 12-year-old Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez), who resides in a lively,
loud Mexican village but comes from a family of shoemakers that may be the
town’s only music-hating household. For generations, the Riveras have banned
music because they believe they’ve been cursed by it; as their family history
goes, Miguel’s great-grandfather abandoned his wife decades earlier to follow
his own dreams of performing, leaving Imelda (Renée Victor), Miguel’s
great-grandmother, to take control as the matriarch of the now-thriving Rivera
line and declare music dead to the family forever.
But Miguel harbors a secret
desire to seize his musical moment, inspired by his favorite singer of all
time, the late Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt). It’s only after Miguel
discovers an amazing link between himself and De la Cruz that he takes action
to emulate the famous singer and, in doing so, accidentally enters the Land of
the Dead.
In the beautiful underworld,
it’s not long until Miguel encounters the souls of his own family —
generations’ worth of long-dead but no less vivacious Rivera ancestors,
including great-grandmother Imelda. Still, given the opportunity to roam around
the Land of the Dead, Miguel decides to track down De la Cruz himself. He teams
up with another friendly (and skeletal) spirit — a trickster named Hector,
voiced by Gael Garcia Bernal — to find De la Cruz, earn his family’s blessing to
perform, and return to the Land of the Living before time runs out.
