Meet Pixar’s New Lead, Miguel from Coco
Pixar has released the first image of the protagonist from their new animated adventure, Coco. The character’s name is Miguel and the animated movie is slated to be released on November 22, 2017.
In the movie, “Miguel is a young boy born in a family of shoemakers who have decided to ban music ever since Miguel’s great-great-grandfather left his wife to become a musician. Obviously, Miguel develops a secret passion for music, his favorite singer being the late Ernesto de la Cruz.
When he accidentally finds himself in the Land of the Dead after a strange attempt at imitating his idol, he meets his ancestors, including the lady who blamed her couple’s misfortune on music, and decides to find De la Cruz with the help of a spirit named Hector. However, he’s only got limited time to return to the Land of the Living — can he make it back with his family’s blessing to perform once more?”
I am still a little confused on what exactly this movie is all about, but hopefully when footage from the movie is released things will become more clear.
