After Pixar Announced Coco 2, A Lot Of Fans Are Making The Same Comment

Pixar is about to enter (another) sequel era. Earlier this week, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced during Disney's annual shareholder meeting that Coco 2 is currently in development at Pixar Animation Studios. This news comes eight years after the original movie had us ugly crying in the theater. Following the announcement, the first reactions have come in from fans on social media, and a lot of them are concerned.

We had a feeling Pixar would produce more sequels after the massive success of Inside Out 2 last year, and Coco proves the studio is focused on revisiting its prior favorites again. Coco joins Toy Story 5 and a third Incredibles movie as the sequels among Pixar's upcoming movies.

It's safe to say some fans are apprehensive about this choice, as @ohhierica wrote on X:

Coco of course follows 12-year-old Miguel, who inadvertently finds himself in the Land of the Dead after breaking into his musical hero, the late Ernesto de la Cruz’s mausoleum, and taking his guitar in revolt to his family’s ban on music. He soon finds out he’s been cursed for stealing from the dead, and must find a way to return to the land of the living.

It's unclear what the story for Coco 2 will be, but no matter what, fans aren't sure about it. As @Johnny2Cellos wrote:

While Miguel is on his journey among the dead, he meets Héctor, who he later learns is his great-great-grandfather and the father of his great-grandmother the movie is named after, Coco. The movie has one of the most shocking Disney twists, when Miguel finds out that Ernesto de la Cruz poisoned Héctor, and stole his guitar and music to become the star he is.

After Miguel learns this, he can return home where he’s able to preserve Héctor’s legacy and brighten Coco’s day by singing her father’s song not long before her death.

As I said, we currently don’t have any details about the plot of Coco 2, but lots of fans are clearly not sold on their needing to be another chapter after the ending. As @APPictures9 said:

When it comes to Pixar sequels, I would say there’s been mixed results. There are some really good ones like Toy Story 2 and 3, Incredibles 2 or Inside Out 2, and some so-so ones like the Cars sequels or Toy Story 4.

We do know that the Coco original director Lee Unkrich and co-writer Adrian Molina are on board, so perhaps they had a good idea to forward the storyline.

However, here’s another tweet from @alisa_is_tired on the subject:

The reactions certainly show how much people love the original 2017 movie, and how protective they are about how a sequel might build on the legacy of the original. But, not everyone isn’t happy about it. Here’s one positive Twitter response about it from @rankingthemouse:

The Coco sequel isn’t the only Coco development either. We’re also getting an attraction in Disney’s California Adventure. Now it’s your turn, what do you think about there being a Coco sequel?
