Grab your guitar because Disney and Pixar’s Coco 2, the follow-up to the 2017 Academy Award-winning feature film Coco, is in the works at Pixar Animation Studios.
The announcement was made by CEO Bob Iger during The Walt Disney Company’s annual meeting of shareholders.
Disney and Pixar’s Coco introduced Miguel, a 12-year-old with dreams of becoming a musician despite his family’s generations-old ban on music, who ventures to the vibrant Land of the Dead to unlock the real story behind his family history.
The movie won two Academy Awards for best animated feature and best original song for ‘Remember Me’ (we’re not crying remembering that song, you are).
Coco 2 will reunite the team behind the original film, including Oscar-winning director Lee Unkrich (Coco, Toy Story 3) and co-director Adrian Molina (Coco). Oscar-winning producer Mark Nielsen (Toy Story 4, Inside Out 2) will produce.
“While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will be full of humour, heart and adventure,” said Iger. “And we can’t wait to share more soon.”
