Fans of Pixar’s beloved animated classic COCO have something to celebrate—“COCO 2” is officially in development! The exciting announcement was made today by Disney CEO Bob Iger during The Walt Disney Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting.
“While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will be full of humor, heart, and adventure,” said Iger. “And we can’t wait to share more soon.”
A Star-Studded Creative Reunion
COCO 2 will reunite the talented team behind the 2017 Academy Award®-winning hit. Lee Unkrich, who directed the original COCO and the Oscar®-winning Toy Story 3, returns to the director’s chair alongside Adrian Molina, who co-directed COCO and contributed to its emotional storytelling. Oscar-winning producer Mark Nielsen (Toy Story 4, Inside Out 2) will oversee production, ensuring that COCO 2 maintains the heart, culture, and charm that resonated so strongly with audiences worldwide.
What Made COCO an Instant Classic
Released in 2017, COCO followed the journey of Miguel, a 12-year-old aspiring musician determined to follow his passion despite his family’s generations-old ban on music. In his quest, Miguel found himself in the vibrant and magical Land of the Dead, where he uncovered the truth about his family’s legacy. The film captivated audiences with its stunning visuals, heartfelt narrative, and celebration of Mexican culture and traditions, particularly Día de los Muertos.
COCO became a critical and commercial success, winning numerous accolades, including:
🎵 Two Academy Awards – Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (“Remember Me”)
🏆 Golden Globe Award – Best Motion Picture – Animated
🎥 BAFTA Award – Best Animated Film
🌟 Critics’ Choice Awards – Best Animated Feature and Best Song (“Remember Me”)
What’s Next for Miguel and His Family?
While details about the plot of COCO 2 remain under wraps, fans can expect a new heartfelt adventure that dives deeper into Miguel’s family and culture. The sequel promises to expand on the vibrant world introduced in the original film, bringing back familiar faces and exploring new emotional themes.
Given the success and emotional impact of COCO, the anticipation for COCO 2 is already sky-high. With the return of Unkrich, Molina, and Nielsen, audiences can trust that Pixar will deliver another memorable journey filled with music, magic, and the importance of family.
