Pixar are in the midst of a PR crisis right now, chief creative officer John Lasseter taking a six-month leave of absence after being accused of hugs with female employees that crossed the line, amongst other things.

You can find those details HERE, but we’re moving on to a little bit of good news for the Disney-owned animation studio.

If you haven’t yet seen the trailer for Coco then let’s start there, the movie having hit cinemas in the US yesterday.

Check it:

Sweet.

The Daily Beast are clearly fans:

Some of the darkest ideas ever to manifest in a Disney-Pixar film take center [sic] stage in Coco, a movie that magically doubles as the studio’s most colorful, vibrant adventure yet…

There are startlingly frank ideas about death and loss detonating quietly in the midst of Coco’s slapstick, building to an emotional swell that triggers waterworks in that surefire Pixar way….

Sounds like the kind of movie that the parents can enjoy, too.

Still, if it wants to beat a gem like Up then it better be pretty damn special.
