“Coco” is getting a sequel. Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger
said Thursday that “Coco 2” is currently in development at Pixar
Animation Studios.
“While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will
be full of humor, heart and adventure,” Iger said at the
company’s shareholders meeting.
The sequel will reunite the creative team behind the first,
including directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina. “Coco”
followed Miguel, a 12-year-old boy with musical dreams who goes
to the Land of the Dead to find out more about his family’s
history.
The original grossed over $814 million at the worldwide box
office and won two Oscars, for best animated feature and best
song for the catchy hit “Remember Me.” It also won a Golden
Globe and the BAFTA for best animated film.
“Coco” was Pixar’s first feature film with a lead character from
a minority group, and one of the largest American productions
ever to feature an almost entirely Latino cast.
“Coco 2” is reportedly eyeing a 2029 theatrical release.
