BURBANK, Calif. – November 2, 2017 –
Disney twenty-three will take readers into the Land of the Dead with an exclusive sneak peek of Disney•Pixar’s new film,
Coco. Rooted in the Mexican holiday Día de Los Muertos, Coco
follows young Miguel (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez) on his quest to
become a musician—despite his family’s wishes—which inadvertently leads
him into the Land of the Dead. The creative
team, including Oscar®-winning composer Michael Giacchino
and Anthony Gonzalez, provide readers an inside look at the story behind
this magical tale, which opens nationwide this Thanksgiving.
Accompanying
Coco—both in theaters and in Disney twenty-three—is the next chapter in the
Frozen story: Olaf’s Frozen Adventure. Members of the cast
and production team take us back to Arendelle for this new holiday
classic, which shines a spotlight on the importance of family and family
traditions. “A movie like this taps into more
than just the holiday spirit—it explores the meaning behind that
spirit, the traditions that bring us all together as family,” Josh Gad
(Olaf) says. “It’s very powerful.”
Star Wars:
The Last Jedi also hits theaters this holiday season, and Disney twenty-three
talks exclusively with director Rian Johnson about this highly
anticipated chapter in the Skywalker saga. Joining the crew is newcomer
Kelly Marie Tran, who reveals
how much she loves the character she portrays and how she pulled off a
great practical joke on the set of the epic film.
