Okay, everyone — time to start Coco! Everyone hit PLAY! The #CocoWatchParty has begun!

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

I had an idea early on that I wanted to record a Mariachi-inspired version of the Disney logo music. @germaine_franco knocked it out of the park with her fantastic arrangement! #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

As some of you may know, Coco was originally intended to be an all-out musical. At that point, the film opened with an over-the-top musical number called “Día de los Muertos” that was written by Bobby Lopez and @Lyrikris10. #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

That musical number took place on stage in a 1930’s Mexico City club. Ernesto de la Cruz was then introduced, he sang Remember Me, then he was killed by the falling bell. The only remnant of that left in the film is the second half of his performance. #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

We ultimately realized it was taking too long to introduce Miguel, so we restructured to get his voice right at the beginning, telling his family story. #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

Our shining star is @AnthonyBGonzal, who plays Miguel. He did an INCREDIBLE job and inspired all the other great kids who played Miguel in different languages throughout the world. #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/u6cGMCkXXC

I had long wanted to have a sequence with animated Papel Picado, which is what these paper flags are called. @AdrianTheMolina did an amazing job conceptualizing how to make it work, and we brought in some traditional 2D animators at Pixar to create the sequence. #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

It was a delicate tightrope to have Miguel tell his family story without revealing who his real great-great-grandfather was. Doing the sequence in this stylized way helped hide the truth! #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

The celebration is commonly called “Día de Muertos” in Mexico, and “Día de los Muertos” in the United States. Both sides insist they’re right! So we use both in the film. #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

My team did an awesome job creating the Rivera Family ofrenda. It was inspired by so many beautiful ofrendas we saw during our many trips to Mexico during Día de Muertos. #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/vUZWhVIRO0

Our amazing team of cultural consultants, led by @mdaviles1, @laloalcaraz and @OctavioSolis5 instilled in us the importance of food and the family meal (among many, MANY other things!) #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/fOGwpWRkic

I’ll never stop being amazed by the peach fuzz on Miguel’s cheek in the close-up of him blowing into the bottle! #CocoWatchParty

Everyone catch the Pizza Planet truck? We had fun designing the Spanish-language version of the Pizza Planet logo. We endeavored to have as much signage as possible be in Spanish. #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/K3CwD5axJ1

The street musicians are playing a fragment of “La Llorona,” which Mamá Imelda sings near the end of the film. #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

The moment where Dante is first introduced was inspired by a rapid-fire series of tricks my kids taught our dog, Waffles. #CocoWatchParty #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/kB1UKiUhTP

Benjamin Bratt was the first person we cast in Coco. Here’s a photo from his very first recording session, where he sang “Remember Me.” #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/xxsHwj3fUz

I feel terrible for the poor guy who dropped the bell on De la Cruz… #CocoWatchParty

The mariachi is played by @LChicoBoyar, who holds the distinction of playing TWO different characters in Coco! #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

The role of Abuelita is played fire and fury (and plenty of love…) by @realreneevictor. Here she is at Coco’s premiere. #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/FEum0UB6GG

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

We originally had Abuelita carry around a wooden spoon, which she would hit people with, as seen in this early clay sculpt. It was cultural advisor @laloalcaraz who insisted, “No, no! It has to be LA CHANCLA!” #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/TZwaMc7q6t

We visited many family shoemaking businesses in Mexico to inspire the generations-old Rivera Family Shoemakers workshop. #CocoWatchParty

Lee Unkrich @leeunkrich

Abuelita’s design was inspired by many of the matriarchs we visited in Mexico. She was also inspired by actress Marie Dressler, who performed in films in the 20’s and 30’s. #CocoWatchParty pic.twitter.com/GnFIOTC9ar

We had fun reverse-engineering what Miguel’s ancestors looked like in life, after we designed their skeletal versions first. #CocoWatchParty
