About the Movie:

Rated PG. Performance Length: 1 hour, 30 minutes, no intermission.

Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Héctor (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history. Disney and Pixar’s Coco is directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist Monsters University), and produced by Darla K. Anderson (Toy Story 3).

As one viewer wrote about Coco on Rotten Tomatoes: "It's a feast for the eyes, the cast is pitch-perfect, and the music is wonderful. Coco is a colorful, joyous, and utterly charming Pixar film." We expect that "Coco under the Stars" will become one of your family’s treasured memories.
