EXCLUSIVE! (FRESH off the press chisme) Coming in 2017!! YES!! Disney is FINALLY recognizing MEXICANOS with their NEW #DayOfTheDead movie! I can't wait! This is what I've been waiting for! Some more inspiration to keep up my drive! YES! #DisneyPixar #COCO #PixarCoCo #ProudDayForUs #Mexicana #VivaMexico The film will focus on the Mexican Dia de los Muertos celebration, which celebrates loved ones who have passed away. The main character of the film is a spirited 12-year-old boy named Miguel, who somehow finds himself in the realm of the dead. “As artists and filmmakers, we couldn’t help but be drawn to the striking visuals of Dia de los Muertos,” said Unkrich and Anderson at the panel. “But it was the celebration’s core themes of family, remembrance and connection across generations that resonated within and truly inspired us. Dia de los Muertos is as singular as the Mexican culture, while at the same time completely universal in its message. “In our story,” they continued, “the celebration of Dia de los Muertos serves as the perfect backdrop for our main character to ask where he comes from, what his place is within his family, and how families stay woven together across time through the simple act of remembrance.”
