New trailer for Coco has just been released

It looks really good, and I'm enjoying the music. But I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to do average numbers (By Pixar standards) at the box office. I just don't see a lot of buzz for this in film circles.

I think the animation looks incredible. I hope it does well I am excited for it.

If we could not discussed message and like counts here that would be great.

Thanks

This looks really well done! I'm a big Pixar fan before Disney got involved.

wait what?! THIS JUST CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE Oh my god... this whole time!

oh, it WILL change your life if you get them. your whole thought process changes when you are no longer trying to get all you can at one park in one day. this is our first year with them and we typically hit a park in the morning, a nap or something else in the afternoon, and then a different park in the evening to use our fastpasses. every day. it still feels a bit weird. when we stayed at the Contemporary we hit the golden hour at MK almost every morning. I mean, it's right there! how could we not? this one time we were tooling around visiting the monorail resorts and we stopped off at the MK just so I could run in and grab a popcorn refill.

a side effect is now we feel compelled to visit as often as we can.

I agree on all points. And by film circles you're not meaning critics right? Just the normal movie goer?

A little history on 25 years of running Disney.

Can't wait to run the 25th full marathon and 5th Dopey Challenge.

This was a nice read.

@rteetz what was your best experience at the marathon and what was your best time?

I already feel compelled so like shouldn't I get a few discounts out of it?

I've only run one marathon. I don't run for time at Disney there is to much to do and see. I love the spectators who cheer you on, characters along the course, and running backstage. I think riding Everest during the marathon is the most unique experience you can get.

Ohhhh! I saw your photo and all the medals and thought you were an avid runner there. This information is good to know. I never knew so much went into it.

I am an avid runner there but last year was my first marathon. I've done halfs, 10ks and 5ks there.

 

[FoxC63]

I'm not a runner but I enjoy race walking. Prior to DH being diagnosed I maintained 10 miles. Three years later I not only feel the difference I see it as well. Looking forward to getting back to it when school is finally over!

Yeah - internet communities like the Dis, except centered on movies. I just rarely see Coco get any mention or notice in these circles, especially in comparison to many other Disney and Pixar films.

Still plenty of time for marketing to kick in, but I just get a sneaking suspicion that this one will be a sleeper.

It's so badly timed...this should have been a late Sept/early Oct release to take advantage of the theming...Day of the Dead theming is not gonna sell well at Thanksgiving and Christmas...

I wouldn't say it's the timing of the movie that's the issue - family movies with plenty of different themes do well around the holidays. People are just completely unaware that this exists, because it hasn't been marketed enough to saturate the market.

This trailer could have launched with, say, Pirates 5 to maximize the amount of people who would see it. I do believe that this will run ahead of Cars 3 when that releases in a few weeks.

I imagine we'll get plenty from D23 about it as well.

 

[luisov]

That seems to be a trend at the marketing department at Disney, especially with Walt Disney Animation and Pixar. They release a very vague teaser, then the main trailer just a few months before the release date and then they start to bombard the audience with lots of material in time for the release. We'll see, though. It worked quite well with the last few films from Disney Animation.

I'm really excited about this one. I'm sure the visuals will be stunning, and since I actually live in Mexico, I'd love to see their approach on the culture.

I totally agree. We got AP last September when we went for a weekend just to see the MSEP and knew we were going again at Thanksgiving. Two visits has turned in to five....
