Miguel, Dante, Hector and the rest of the cast are heading back to the big screen as Pixar’s smash-hit film, Coco, returns to the Historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
What’s Happening:
- The hit film from Pixar Animation Studios, Coco, is set to make its vibrant return to the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.

Dia De Los Coco:
- Coco is largely centered around the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a sacred and deeply symbolic Mexican holiday.
- Unlike many Hollywood portrayals that flatten or exoticize cultures, when it debuted, Coco was praised for its respectful, nuanced, and vibrant depiction of Mexican traditions, music, family values, and spirituality.
- Coco was a milestone in LatinX representation, especially mainstream animation as it featured an entirely LatinX cast in both the English and Spanish versions of the film.
- This also paved the way for more animated and live-action films and stories centered on LatinX voices and traditions.
- It also was one of the rare latter day films from Pixar Animation Studios to heavily feature songs throughout the film, all of which tapping into the culture.
- In terms of animation box office, Coco stands as one of the highest-grossing original features from Pixar Animation Studios, though it has since given way to becoming a franchise with Coco 2 on the docket and slated for 2029.
- Fans will also soon be able to experience the first-ever Coco-based ride at the Disneyland Resort in the near future, located at Disney California Adventure.
