50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2017 - Ranked

13. Coco

2017 Movies
Disney Pixar

As Coco is Pixar, it's already an extremely exciting project. They don't make bad films after all (only in the context of their own impossibly high standards), and this story of a 12-year-old boy who travels accidentally to the Land Of The Dead, seeks his lost musical hero and has to return to the land of the living before time runs out, while seeking his family's blessing to play music.

Lee Unkrich is directing, which is good news (he's pretty much Pixar's best director currently) and the story and spirit should resonate with fans of the exceptional Book Of Life animation. You can obviously expect excellent story-telling and characters as well as Pixar's effortless ability to charm through visuals, plus the inherent focus on death will no doubt give Unkrich ample opportunity to break everyone's hearts again.

Release Date: November 22nd
