This company is cooked. Next up, live action Pixar remakes.

A live action Wall*E could be kind of cool.

So who's gotta die this time?

COCO 2: THIS TIME IT'S MUY PERSONAL

COCO 2: UN POCO MAS LOCO

 

[Gremlin Gus]

I'm going to be honest as hell here, how tf are they going to do a sequel with Coco? It's not like Encanto (which funnily enough could be getting a sequel according to John Leguizamo who voiced Bruno in that film) where it works as a standalone film that has the possibility of a sequel, here, I have genuinely have zero clue how they could make a sequel to Coco like at all...

 

[BrianLo]

I still assume there will be original fare. The ratio will probably re-worsen, but you have to make new things to turn into sequels.

Incredibles 3 and Coco 2 would be my highest bets. Followed by Elemental 2, actually.

Bugs life has been left behind. Maybe Luca?

*gloats*

Hardly. Pixar has never historically been a shy studio when it comes to sequels. It's WDAS that risks getting pulled down by the Dreamworks/Illumination sequel factories.

The fact it took them 12 years is frankly impressive restraint and we had a rather good run of originality when there was complaints a decade ago they went too far into sequels.

 

[Heppenheimer]

Why, why, why?

Oh yeah, need money, don't have the creativity or confidence to try something new.

Hopefully everyone votes with their wallet and support the next two films. Assuming they are supportable.

And likely the two other originals falling somewhere in 2027/28 before this too that we aren’t currently privy to.

My guess is by 2029 the tentpole movie business is going to be shot but whatever. Who knows what projects get the ax if/when Iger leaves.

Perhaps. It has had way more longevity than many thought it would. I'm certain it will eventually come to an end. But they certainly feel emboldened coming off 2024.

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ֊ᗩζᗩᗰ]

I'm guessing prequel with a younger Coco.

 

[Agent H]

I'm guessing prequel with a younger Coco.

Then why would it be called coco 2?

 

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ֊ᗩζᗩᗰ]

Then why would it be called coco 2?

because it's the second Coco movie?

Spoiler: for those that like to read nonsense

In the vibrant streets of Santa Cecilia, young Coco Rivera watches anxiously as her mother, Imelda, struggles to keep their family's traditional zapatería afloat. The once-thriving shoe shop, passed down through generations, faces closure due to mounting debts and competition from cheaper alternatives.

One evening, while exploring the workshop, Coco discovers a group of mischievous duendecillos (house spirits) who have been causing trouble in the neighborhood. These playful creatures, reminiscent of the magical beings from Mexican folklore, possess remarkable craftsmanship skills but love nothing more than creating chaos.

Inspired by her father's old guitar, Coco discovers that music has an extraordinary effect on the duendecillos - it calms their mischief and brings out their innate desire to create. She forms an unlikely friendship with their leader, a particularly skilled spirit named Tlalocito, who shares tales of the ancient artisans who once crafted shoes for the gods.

Together, Coco and the duendecillos devise a plan to save the zapatería. By night, while the town sleeps, the spirits work their magic, crafting exquisite handmade shoes that blend traditional Mexican designs with supernatural precision. Their creations quickly gain attention throughout Santa Cecilia, with customers marveling at the seemingly impossible quality and beauty of the footwear.

However, their success attracts unwanted attention. Señor Malo, a ruthless debt collector from the city, threatens to seize the shop unless the Riveras can pay their mounting debts. His cold calculation and disregard for tradition mirror the darkness of the forgotten souls in the Land of the Dead.

As tensions rise, Coco learns that her ancestors in the Land of the Dead are watching over her efforts. Her great-grandmother appears in visions, teaching her about the sacred balance between tradition and innovation. The duendecillos, sensing Coco's connection to the other side, begin to incorporate elements of Día de los Muertos into their designs, creating shoes that seem to capture the essence of both worlds.

In a climactic confrontation, Señor Malo attempts to shut down the shop during the annual Día de los Muertos celebration. But Coco, armed with her newfound understanding of tradition and magic, rallies the townspeople and the duendecillos. Together, they create a spectacular display of music, dance, and craftsmanship that showcases the true value of preserving traditional arts.

Señor Malo, moved by the community's passion and the beauty of their work, finally understands the worth of cultural heritage over profit. He agrees to restructure the debt, allowing the zapatería to continue its legacy. As the celebration ends and the duendecillos prepare to depart, Tlalocito gifts Coco a small wooden shoe charm, saying "Though we must leave, our spirit remains in every stitch, and our friendship will last until your own children learn to craft shoes."

The story concludes with young Coco, now confident in her ability to preserve family traditions while embracing innovation, looking out upon her thriving workshop. She knows that whenever challenges arise, she can count on both her ancestors' guidance and the mischievous help of her supernatural friends, whose love of music and craftsmanship will forever be woven into the fabric of her family's legacy.

When reached for comment, Bob Iger said "I'm Cuckoo for Coco Sequels!"

 

[monothingie]

The year is 2069.

Skynet has enslaved humanity and Coco 53 was just announced by the fully sentient Igerbot 9000.

 

[Baloo124]

Apparently this movie will deal with grief surrounding Miguel's family after losing Coco. A new neighbor named Jud suggests they can bury her body in an old supernatural graveyard. However, doing so causes Coco to come BACK to life, only different. She is animal-like, sinister, and has a thirst for human blood. A shocking tale which proves that sometimes dead is better.

Wait.... or was that Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary'?
