“A Celebration of the Music from Coco” Coming to Disney+ on April 10th, 2020
Hi everyone –
Since most of us are primarily indoors for the time being, it is nice to see more quality content coming soon to Disney+. I am especially looking forward to “A Celebration of the Music from Coco”, which was performed live last November at the Hollywood Bowl. Look for the premiere on Disney+ on April 10th! Information from Disney is below.

Disney and Pixar’s “Coco” follows a 12-year-old boy named Miguel who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz despite his family’s generations-old ban on music. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Héctor, and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.
