As both Darla K Anderson and Molina reiterated at the presentation, the role had to go to someone who not only could act, but who could also sing and be a good all-rounder. Unkrich, Molina and their team went though a grueling process in selecting Gonzalez for the role. Co-Directed by Lee Unkrich ( Finding Nemo, Toy Story 3) Coco follows the adventures of 12 year-old Miguel ( Anthony Gonzalez) who finds himself in the land of the Dead after going against the wishes of his family and stealing something valuable from a deceased local celebrity. With colourful representations of skulls, bones and the celebratory iconography of death and the afterlife, the film is bound to strike a chord with those familiar with this tradition and even those who are less au-fait with it. Molina also admits to being very inspired by artist José Guadalupe Posada’s and his Dia de los Muertos iconic artwork. Being of Mexican descent, Molina admits to using his own family’s experiences and Hispanic background to tell a story relating to the tradition of Dia de los Muertos (The Day of of the Dead), a festival in which Mexican families honour and remember their dead. In their presentation, the pair were able to divulge some of the secrets behind this highly anticipated animation and what to expect when it’s finished. An early footage presentation given to the press this week in London showcased the brilliance of co-director and screenwriter Adrian Molina, who was in attendance alongside Producer Darla K Anderson. Coco is not only a brave departure from Pixar and Disney’s Anglocentric traditions, but can also be regarded as a love letter to Mexico and its people.
