Disney and Pixar are at it again with their trailer for the upcoming film Coco. The story of a young music-loving boy who goes on a mission to find his family, Coco is destined to be a commercial and critical hit. 

The trailer depicts a boy's love for music and an obsession with a particular musician. When he realizes that that musician is his father, he goes to visit his grave and strums the singer's guitar. Instantly, he is turned into a ghost-like creature and is off to explore the land of the dead. 

This is probably the most colorful Pixar film to date. Using warm colors to make each frame pop and cool ones to show sadness and poverty, the people at Pixar have done an amazing job setting tone while simultaneously highlighting the rich culture of Mexico, specifically their relationship with the dead. The boy runs into a massive city that is as intricate as the interior of an ant hill and people who would be welcome at a Day of the Dead festival. 

While Pixar does make arguably the best animated films in the world, it has started to drift off in terms of content. However, Coco is almost destined to get them back on track. Why? Because it is the story of a Mexican kid who travels to the afterlife. 

The film features an all Latino cast. Led by Benjamin Bratt, it also has the voice talents of Gael Garcia Bernal, Renee Victor, and newcomer Anthony Gonzalez. With an authentic cast and a story set in Mexico, this film could not come at a better time. 

You see, Coco is just what Trump's America needs. There is no need for a wall, and Pixar is here to prove that. With a story told from the eyes of a child, they will be able to reach all four major demographics and humanize Latinos to the people who believe that America is only for Caucasians. Furthermore, most of the cast has been outspoken about their thoughts on President Trump's Foreign Policy with Mexico, making their involvement with this film that much more poignant.
