Pixar unveils final “Coco” trailer

Pixar is offering up a Thanksgiving feast for the eyes, mind, and soul with it’s new feature “Coco.” With a theme built around family it will resonate with your families over the holiday. Set in Mexico around the ‘Dia de los Muertos’ holiday which honors family and ancestors, “Coco” is Pixar’s 19th feature film.

“‘Coco’ is about a 12-year-old boy with big dreams,” says director Lee Unkrich. “It’s about a hardworking family with great traditions and a lot of love. But what’s so cool about ‘Coco’ is that the boy could be my son. That family could live next door. The sweet, bossy grandmother who insists on one more bite might be your grandma. There’s something familiar to us all in this story. That’s what makes it so special.”
