What It's About: 12-year-old Miguel makes an epic discovery, uncovering a generations-wide mystery that leads to an unexpected family reunion.

Why It Can Save Hollywood: The premise is vague, but Pixar are usually on-point (though not without their recent stumbles), and what has us really excited is the presence of director Lee Unkrich, arguably the most talented Pixar director given that he made Toy Story 2 and 3, Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo.

Coco will reportedly have a pronounced Day of the Dead theme which should give it an incredibly unique flavour and also give Pixar plenty to work with from a visual standpoint. With its apparent focus on family, you can expect the usual multi-faceted, tear-jerking drama that the animation studio has made an art out of.
