It\u2019s worth remembering that Pixar put a lot of effort into making the cast of Brave entirely Scottish or of Scottish descent (save a few lines of dialogue, like the now-essential John Ratzenberger cameo), so it\u2019s great to see them doing the same and more for Coco.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ohmy.disney.com\/movies\/2017\/06\/06\/meet-the-characters-and-voice-cast-of-disney-pixars-coco-and-see-the-beautiful-new-poster\/\">Information on the cast reveal can be found on Oh My Disney<\/a>. 18 characters have been revealed, many of them relatives of the main character Miguel, so it seems like we might be seeing a big family reunion in the Land of the Dead. Even though each character is given just a brief description, this new information has really fleshed out the world in which Coco is taking place. We&#8217;ve learned that Miguel\u2019s family comes from a long line of shoemakers, and the business was created by his great-great grandmother Mam\u00e1 Imelda.\u00a0&#8220;The matriarch of the Rivera family&#8221;, she is bound to be a strong, interesting character that I&#8217;m sure many of us are looking forward to meeting. It also seems like there might be a bit of tension between the musicians and the shoemakers in his extended family\u2026<br \/>\nWith Coco being released in under 6 months, we can definitely begin to look forward to seeing more trailers, teasers and posters. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerprotectionbc.ca\/consumers-film-and-video-homepage\/classification-search?&amp;task=view&amp;submitted=1&amp;film_id=434744\">In fact, a new trailer is expected to land later this week!<\/a> Director Lee Unkrich has posted pictures on Twitter of some of the voice actors \u2013 Gabriel Iglesias and Edward James Olmos \u2013 at Pixar Studios recording lines for the movie.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fluffyguy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@fluffyguy<\/a> taking a selfie with a friend in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PixarCoco?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PixarCoco<\/a> production office. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OkMjKOM0zE\">pic.twitter.com\/OkMjKOM0zE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Lee Unkrich (@leeunkrich) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leeunkrich\/status\/872149313962467328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 6, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Honored to be working with the great <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/edwardjolmos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@edwardjolmos<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PixarCoco?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PixarCoco<\/a>!
