What is the movie about?
Accomplished musician, young Miguel dreams of becoming a performer just like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. Unfortunately, his family has an odd ban on music, that has been passed down through the generations. Despite the family’s objections and desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector. Together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.
BLESSED? – Aspiring musician Miguel learns from the head clerk in the Department of Family Reunions in the Land of the Dead that he’ll need a blessing from a family member to return to the Land of the Living. But Miguel’s great-great-grandmother Mamá Imelda’s blessing comes with an unfortunate condition. Featuring Anthony Gonzalez as the voice of Miguel, Gabriel Iglesias as the voice of the clerk and Alanna Ubach as the voice of Mamá Imelda. ©2017 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.
In addition to the colorful story, we will also be treated to a delightful group of actors, lending their voices and personalities to the film.
MORE TAMALES — In Disney•Pixar’s “Coco,” Abuelita—Miguel’s loving grandmother—runs the Rivera household like Mamá Imelda did two generations before her. Their philosophy is simple: Work in the family shoemaking business, eat more tamales and, most importantly, “No music!” ©2017 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.
