Pixar is widely known for producing quality animated movies such as "Inside Out" and Toy Story" that viewers automatically have high expectations if a film is associated with this movie studio. Well, the next Pixar 3D computer animated venture simply entitled "Coco" seems bent on keeping up with the standards based on the newly-released details about the film.
According to a post from Entertainment Weekly, the plot of Coco will center around a boy named Miguel whose ultimate dream is to follow the footsteps of a late legendary singer, Ernesto De la Cruz. The conflict is that Miguel comes from a Mexican family who has banned music for generations. This no-music ban apparently started when Miguel's grandfather chose to abandon his family to pursue a dream for music.
The young Miguel will not let this family rule stop him as he will even set out to visit the grave of his idol during a Dia de Muertos or Day of the Dead. On this visit, Miguel will try a guitar hanging in the tomb of the deceased singer and it will unexpectedly lead him to the Land of the Dead. The movie becomes more interesting then as the film's protagonist would get to meet his long-dead relatives.
