Coco

0 upcoming performances in New York

Pixar’s *Coco* (2017), directed by Lee Unkrich, follows Miguel, a 12-year-old from Mexico who slips into the Land of the Dead while chasing a forbidden musical calling. The film uses Día de los Muertos iconography to examine memory, kinship, and the way families curate their own histories. In New York, it has circulated through major theatrical runs and community celebrations tied to the holiday, reflecting the city’s Mexican and Mexican-American cultural life. Its clearest achievement is how carefully music functions as narrative evidence, not decoration.
