Disney and Pixar Announce 'Coco 2' for 2029 Release

The sequel to the beloved 2017 animated film reunites the original creative team and expands the 'Coco' franchise.

Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed 'Coco 2' during the company's annual shareholder meeting, with a theatrical release planned for 2029.
Directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, along with producer Mark Nielsen, are returning to helm the sequel in its early development stages.
The original 'Coco' was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $800 million globally and winning two Academy Awards.
Fans are divided over the necessity of a sequel, with some concerned about continuing the standalone story of the original film.
A 'Coco'-themed ride at Disney California Adventure is also in development, with construction set to begin in 2026.
