Earlier this week, Disney CEO Bob Iger introduced throughout Disney’s annual shareholder assembly that Coco 2 is presently in growth at Pixar Animation Studios. This information comes eight years after the unique film had us ugly crying within the theater. Following the announcement, the primary reactions have are available from followers on social media, and a number of them are involved.
We had a sense Pixar would produce extra sequels after the large success of Inside Out 2 final yr, and Coco proves the studio is targeted on revisiting its prior favorites once more. Coco joins Toy Story 5 and a 3rd Incredibles film because the sequels amongst Pixar’s upcoming motion pictures.
It is secure to say some followers are apprehensive about this alternative, as @ohhierica wrote on X:
I simply noticed that Disney is making Coco 2? Of all of the Disney motion pictures that don’t want a sequel, that is it. Coco is totally excellent as a stand alone. It’s emotional and charming and has the proper ending that wraps up the film so fantastically. Please depart it alone Disney.
Coco in fact follows 12-year-old Miguel, who inadvertently finds himself within the Land of the Useless after breaking into his musical hero, the late Ernesto de la Cruz’s mausoleum, and taking his guitar in revolt to his household’s ban on music. He quickly finds out he’s been cursed for stealing from the lifeless, and should discover a technique to return to the land of the residing.
It is unclear what the story for Coco 2 shall be, however it doesn’t matter what, followers aren’t certain about it. As @Johnny2Cellos wrote:
Coco is possibly my fav Pixar movie however I am genuinely extra fascinated with Toy Story 5 than this, simply doesn’t want a sequel.
Whereas Miguel is on his journey among the many lifeless, he meets Héctor, who he later learns is his great-great-grandfather and the daddy of his great-grandmother the film is called after, Coco. The film has one of the stunning Disney twists, when Miguel finds out that Ernesto de la Cruz poisoned Héctor, and stole his guitar and music to develop into the star he’s.
After Miguel learns this, he can return dwelling the place he’s in a position to protect Héctor’s legacy and brighten Coco’s day by singing her father’s tune not lengthy earlier than her loss of life.
As I mentioned, we presently don’t have any particulars concerning the plot of Coco 2, however plenty of followers are clearly not bought on their needing to be one other chapter after the ending. As @APPictures9 mentioned:
What may they even do with a Coco sequel? It felt like an ideal standalone film. Nothing about it felt prefer it was meant to be a official Pixar franchise. It’s like doing a sequel to Ratatouille or Up. Simply give us A Bug’s Life 2 already!
In relation to Pixar sequels, I’d say there’s been combined outcomes. There are some actually good ones like Toy Story 2 and three, Incredibles 2 or Inside Out 2, and a few so-so ones just like the Vehicles sequels or Toy Story 4.
We do know that the Coco unique director Lee Unkrich and co-writer Adrian Molina are on board, so maybe they’d a good suggestion to ahead the storyline.
Nevertheless, right here’s one other tweet from @alisa_is_tired on the topic:

The reactions actually present how a lot folks love the unique 2017 film, and the way protecting they’re about how a sequel would possibly construct on the legacy of the unique. However, not everybody isn’t pleased about it. Right here’s one optimistic Twitter response about it from @rankingthemouse:
Folks truly complaining about Coco 2 on the TL?!?! Ya, I ain’t listening to it. If ANY animated movies DESERVES a sequel, it is 100% Coco. Save your anti-sequel sentiment for all the pieces else. That is gonna be INCREDIBLE 🇲🇽💀🔥
The Coco sequel isn’t the one Coco growth both. We’re additionally getting an attraction in Disney’s California Journey. Now it’s your flip, what do you consider there being a Coco sequel?
