Think Pixar’s partnership with NASCAR is the only one? Think again! The company has teamed up with Southwest Airlines and unveiled a Coco themed airplane!
The Boeing 737-700 is beautifully emblazoned with Coco‘s logo and artwork, and would certainly be a brilliant sight among the clouds. Hopefully we’ll be able to catch glimpses of it from the ground! The plane will be flying in the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean through the end of 2017.
And if all that wasn’t enough, lucky passengers will even be treated to film clips in flight!
On Coco‘s themes of family and pursuing dreams, Lee Unkrich says that the partnership with Southwest is ideal. “These themes really lend themselves to teaming up with a company like Southwest. And after working for nearly six years to bring this story to life, we were all so excited to see ‘Coco’ on the side of an airplane.”
There will also be a live at 35 concert performance later this year onboard, featuring the voice of Miguel himself, Anthony Gonzalez!
Be sure to share your photos of the Coco plane using the hashtag #CocoandSouthwest. But until then, have some more views of the plane below!
