Well, it’s official: February 27th is Coco<\/em> Day in Los Angeles. Yesterday the City of Angels honored Pixar’s\u00a019th film at a ceremony in City Hall by L.A. City Council Member\u00a0Gil Cedillo. The honor was\u00a0not only inspired by the most recent DVD\/Blu-Ray release of the film, but the fact that Coco<\/em> is the first animated film to feature\u00a0nearly an entire Latino cast. Most of the ensemble has roots in Los Angeles, which made the ceremony very special for some.

\nThe honors were respectfully given to Lee Unkrich and Darla K. Anderson, the Director and Producer of Coco<\/em>, and these members of the cast were also there to celebrate the success of the film and show their support to the local Latino community: Anthony Gonzalez (Miguel), Renee Victor (Abuelita), Gabriel Iglesias (Clerk), Alfonso Arau (Papa Julio), Selene Luna (Tia Rosita), Lombardo Boyar (Mariachi\/Gustavo), Blanca Araceli (Emcee), Dyana Ortelli (Tia Victoria) and Carlos Moreno Jr.
\nAnthony Gonzalez and the\u00a0The Mariachi Divas even treated those in attendance with some fan-favorite songs from Coco<\/em>: “Un Poco Loco<\/em>\u201d and the\u00a0Oscar-nominated\u00a0\u201cRemember Me.”<\/em>

\nCoco<\/em> is the first Pixar film to be given a day of celebration and it’s so obvious why\u00a0– between the\u00a0depiction of the Latino culture and Day of the Dead, on top of the heartfelt story tackling death and fulfilling your dreams, it’s no wonder that Coco<\/em>\u00a0soared it’s way into the hearts of millions.\u00a0We don’t think anyone’s going to forget about this film anytime soon, and we can only hope it opens up more films that have Latino\u00a0leads and other stories that focus on underrepresented characters in animation.
\nStay-tuned for the Oscar’s this Sunday<\/strong> to see if Coco<\/em>\u00a0takes home the gold for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
