The enthusiasm for this family-friendly movie, starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Anthony Gonzales, which introduced the world to Mexico&#8217;s Dia de los Muertos traditions, remains strong. The story of Miguel, a young boy who inadvertently travels to the land of the dead and embarks on a journey to reconnect with his family, has captured hearts worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>From Iger&#8217;s announcement, here&#8217;s what we know about <em>Coco 2<\/em>: &#8220;Although the film is still in its initial stages, we can expect it to be filled with humor, heart, and adventure. We&#8217;re eager to share more details soon.&#8221; Additionally, it has been reported that director Lee Unkrich and co-director Adrian Molina will return to direct the film, with Mark Nielsen as the producer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2000578728\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2000578728\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2000578728\" src=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Coco Ride Pixar Disney Experiences\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-1400x932.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences-896x597.jpg 896w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-ride-pixar-Disney-experiences.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 680px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2000578728\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"> Disney Experiences<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/new-disney-parks-rides-avatar-lion-king-encanto-d23-2000485611\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">boat ride attraction based on <em>Coco<\/em><\/a> is currently in development at Disney California Adventure, as part of the Disneyland Resort&#8217;s expansion plans. We wonder if the new film might influence or coincide with the ride&#8217;s opening, although neither has a fixed release date. Construction on the <em>Coco<\/em> ride is set to begin in 2026, while <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/news\/coco-2-pixar-release-date-2029-1236343942\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a> reports that <em>Coco 2<\/em> will be released sometime in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>The production of <em>Coco 2<\/em> is still in its early stages, and we&#8217;re excited to learn more about the sequel. Given that family matriarch Coco passed away at the end of the first film, it&#8217;s likely that another Day of the Dead adventure is in store. As a Mexican American, I&#8217;m thrilled that the film will continue to explore the world of Mexico&#8217;s beloved annual celebration of the dead, and I look forward to seeing how Pixar will move us to tears once again. Even now, I still can&#8217;t listen to &#8220;Remember Me&#8221; without getting emotional.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2000578729\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2000578729\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2000578729\" src=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Coco 2 Pixar\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-1400x932.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar-896x597.jpg 896w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coco-2-pixar.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 680px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2000578729\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"> Pixar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For more io9 news, check out the latest release dates for <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/marvel-release-dates-when-to-see-upcoming-mcu-movies-1848196856\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marvel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/star-wars-movies-tv-shows-release-dates-disney-1848494806\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Star Wars<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/star-trek-release-dates-where-to-stream-picard-discover-1848839650\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Star Trek<\/a>, as well as what&#8217;s next for the <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/warner-bros-dc-release-dates-hbo-max-cast-details-1848354161\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DC Universe on film and TV<\/a>, and all the information you need about the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/doctor-who-release-dates-streaming-ncuti-gatwa-rtd-1849745140\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Doctor Who<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/coco-2-is-officially-in-the-works-at-pixar-2000578708\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, during The Disney Company&#8217;s investor shareholders meeting, CEO Bob Iger revealed that the studio, in collaboration with Pixar, is officially developing a sequel to the Academy Award-winning animated film&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":11156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[3518,3519,3520,2802,1041,816,3521,1145],"class_list":["post-11155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-adrian-molina","tag-coco","tag-coco-2","tag-disney-california-adventure","tag-disney-experiences","tag-disney-pictures","tag-lee-unkrich","tag-pixar"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/coco-pixar.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
