I don’t know if Coco is a ripoff of The Book of Life or not — I never got around to seeing it* — but the friendly dead could have been right out of Corpse Bride, and I am very fond of Corpse Bride.

Looks like they’re looking at the Day of the Dead… from the other side. It looks like it might be endearing. And spooky without being horror. Works for me.
Looks like Coco’s going to be Day of the Dead-style urban fantasy with a metric butt-ton of Spanish-style guitar playing, which means that I’m probably going to be buying the soundtrack during the second half of the movie. I am an absolute sucker for good acoustic guitar playing. And, oh yeah: Pixar movies, too.
