Pixar's given us a little tease of what we can look forward to from the upcoming Coco, & so far I'm digging it. My imagination is supplying the context right now, so I can really only judge them purely as songs. As songs, I love these. I made sure to listen to each a couple times, & I would be hard pressed to try to put these in an order. I usually don't purchase soundtracks before I see a movie because I like to put the music into context with the film. This one however, I might have to break that. It's available November 10th, 12 days before the film releases in theaters, & I think I might have to pick this up day one. I'm very curious as to what y'all think about these though. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
First Coco Trailer from Pixar
The first trailer for Pixar's Coco went up today, & it looks like Pixar is about to knock another one out of the park. I was a bit reserved when this movie was announced as it sounds a lot like "The Book of Life". It's about a boy named Miguel (introducing Anthony Gonzalez) who dreams of playing music like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt). Following some untold events he finds himself in the Land of the Dead on a journey to unlock the truth behind his family's history & their ban on music. However, after seeing this preview my reserves have been lifted. The Spanish Guitar soundtrack will almost bring tears to your eyes, while the final shot of the actual Land of the Dead is visually breathtaking. This has moved Coco up my list of anticipated movies drastically.
