According to FlixPatrol, it has entered the top 10 on Disney+ in more than 20 countries. The film was released in theaters in 2017 and became one of Disney&#8217;s biggest hits, grossing over $800 million worldwide. It has also received critical acclaim and currently has an impressive 97% critic score and 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. <em>Coco<\/em> also won the Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, securing its place as one of the most popular animated films of the decade.<\/p>\n<h2>The Filmmakers Behind Coco<\/h2>\n<p>The film is directed by <strong>Lee Unkrich<\/strong> and <strong>Adrian Molina<\/strong>. Unkrich is the same director behind <strong><em>Toy Story 3<\/em><\/strong>, and he also co-directed classics like <strong><em>Monsters Inc.<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Toy Story 2<\/em><\/strong>, and <strong><em>Find Nemo<\/em><\/strong>. This explains why <em>Coco<\/em> feels just as special. The film is easily next to <strong><em>Frozen<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Toy Story<\/em><\/strong>, and <strong><em>Inside Out<\/em><\/strong> as one of Disney&#8217;s most emotional and heartfelt stories.<\/p>\n<h2>The Plot of Coco<\/h2>\n<p>The plot revolves around Miguel, a young boy in Mexico who dreams of becoming a musician, even though his family has banned music for generations. On the Day of the Dead, <strong>a magical accident sends him to the land of the dead<\/strong>, where he learns the truth about his family history. <em>Coco<\/em> returning to the charts makes sense right now because Halloween season is here. Parents are looking for something <strong>scary enough for the occasion, but still fun and safe for children<\/strong>, and <em>Coco<\/em> fits this mood perfectly. There are very few animated films that deal with ghosts and death in a way that isn&#8217;t scary for children; <em>Coco<\/em> takes these ideas and transforms them into something lovable and beautiful. Also, <strong>The Day of the Dead is coming up on November 1st and 2nd<\/strong>, making this the perfect time to revisit <em>Coco<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Coco 2 is Officially Coming in 2029<\/h2>\n<p>During Disney&#8217;s annual shareholder meeting in March, <strong>Bob Iger<\/strong> announced that the studio is returning to the land of the dead with <strong><em>Coco 2<\/em><\/strong>. <strong>Unkrich and Molina will direct again<\/strong>, so the sequel is definitely in good hands. The film is planned for a <strong>2029 cinema release<\/strong>, so there&#8217;s still plenty of time to rewatch the original and prepare for Miguel&#8217;s next big journey. No other important details have been disclosed yet.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to Watch Coco<\/h2>\n<p><em>Coco<\/em> can be streamed on Disney+. With its critical acclaim, beautiful storyline, and the announcement of a sequel, <em>Coco<\/em> is a must-watch for anyone who loves Disney and animated films. Stay tuned for more updates on <em>Coco 2<\/em> and other Disney releases. <\/p>\n<h2>Movie Details<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Release Date<\/strong>: October 27, 2017<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 105 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Directors<\/strong>: Adrian Molina, Lee Unkrich<\/li>\n<li><strong>Writers<\/strong>: Lee Unkrich, Jason Katz, Matthew Aldrich<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Coco One of the best Disney releases of all time, Coco, has suddenly risen to the top of the streaming charts this week.
