This is a very hot-button topic for me. There is an unfortunate lack of respect for animation as a universal storytelling medium—on par with live-action—and that barely improved in the 25 years I worked at Pixar. The problem is systemic in the U.S. and in the film industry.

My father, Bob Unkrich, died tonight at 93. He was an artist and a World War II Army hero. He stormed the beach at Normandy. I’m so thankful I was able to spend time with him last week and show him Coco. He loved it.
He’ll be on our ofrenda next year. I’ll always remember him.

I honestly don’t mean for this to be contentious. I’ve literally spent 25 years having countless people tell me that they’ve never seen any of my films because they don’t have kids, or that they don’t like “kid’s movies.” I’m not trying to win an argument here.

I wanted Miguel’s homemade guitar to look like it was really made by a kid, so I had my son, Max, copy De la Cruz’s guitar. Max also did all of the drawings and handwriting displayed on Miguel’s ofrenda to De la Cruz.

Sorry, no. We make films for everyone and make sure there’s nothing inappropriate in them for kids, since we know kids will be part of our audience.

Thanks, Ned, for bringing Lotso to life — both his good side and his not-so-good side. We’ll miss you.

We originally had a scene in the epilogue of

where de la Cruz wandered his empty mansion, bereft, robbed of the one thing he prized: adoration.
But we finally decided, screw him. He doesn’t deserve the screen time.
