Whereas some might imagine Pixar needs to be specializing in its 2025 film launch Elio, which hits theaters June twentieth, the animation studio already has its eyes on a 2029 characteristic. Bob Iger broke the bug information throughout the Disney 2025 annual shareholder assembly, saying that the studio is in early growth on Coco 2. I’m unsure what the animators and storytellers are planning, however I have already got a wild idea about what we might see once we reunite with Miguel and the remainder of his household.
In case you don’t bear in mind, the primary movie adopted Miguel, a 12-year-old boy who unintentionally entered the Land of the Useless and wound up discovering the reality about his nice, nice grandfather. By the top, Miguel manages to persuade his dwelling household that Hector isn’t the enemy of their household and helps Mama Coco peacefully cross over.
Provided that a lot of the primary film passed off within the vibrant Land of the Useless, I can’t assist however theorize that the sequel will happen in Miguel’s hometown, Santa Cecilia, and exhibit much more Latin tradition. Particularly, I feel certainly one of Miguel’s ancestors goes to unintentionally cross over into the Land of the Residing throughout Día de Los Muertos and by some means get caught there.
It is unlikely that Hector would be the one to cross over since his story was already explored in Coco, nonetheless. And Mama Coco simply crossed over in a deeply emotional scene, so it will be good to see her spend a while together with her mother and father, whom she clearly missed. Nonetheless, some other member of Miguel’s household tree could possibly be honest recreation.
Maybe Mama Coco’s different daughter, Victoria, a.ok.a. the sister of Miguel’s grandmother Elena, would be the one to seek out herself caught within the Land of the Residing as soon as once more. Not quite a bit is understood about Victoria, and she or he wasn’t married when she handed away. Provided that a lot of her character is a thriller, she could possibly be the proper important character for a sequel.
A technique I might see this working is that if somebody from Victoria’s previous decides to place a photograph of her on their household’s ofrenda — possibly a long-lost lover who’s nearing their very own loss of life. This might result in Victoria separating from the remainder of the deceased Rivera household whereas strolling throughout the bridge as she is known as to go to this dwelling particular person. By the point she’s able to reunite together with her family, the bridge might have closen trapping her within the Land of the Residing.
Since Victoria additionally grew up in Santa Cecilia, it will be simpler for her to seek out her household’s dwelling and join with Miguel, who is aware of what it’s wish to be trapped within the mistaken world. That’s, assuming he can truly see her because the Residing typically can’t see the Useless.
A minimum of, that’s the kind of story I’d be pitching to Pixar proper now as they work out what a Coco 2 will appear to be. One factor that’s sure is that the sequel may have giant footwear to fill contemplating Coco received two Academy Awards. With the unique artistic group returning for the sequel, I’d say we’re in good arms, and we should always get the tissues prepared since Disney’s sure to create a film that’ll make us cry once more.
You possibly can stream Coco with an lively Disney+ subscription, and don’t overlook to take a look at all the opposite upcoming Pixar films popping out within the subsequent few years.
