From the earliest announcement of its premise, Disney/Pixar’s latest project Coco has sounded a little derivative on paper.
The visuals, of course, are the real star of this trailer.
On Dia de los Muertos, they’re allowed to invisibly check up on the land of the living; Miguel reverses that process in an unprecedented move, traveling from our world to theirs.
But today brings the first real taste of Coco prior to its November 22 release with an official trailer, and I am pleased to report that in practice, it sure looks like its own thing.
