“We didn’t want music to be incidental – we wanted it to be crucial to the story,” Molina explained at a Pixar presentation with Franco, Lara and Giacchino back in August. Federico Ramos, Michael Giacchino, Germaine Franco, Camilo Lara and Adrian Molina at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, Calif. The endeavor required identifying music to ground the story in Mexican traditions, composing a score to reflect the themes and emotions of the film, and creating original songs that propel the soundtrack into the present day. Frozen’s power couple Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez also contributed a song to the project. Getting the music just right was a six-year feat that coalesced the efforts of composer Michael Giacchino, composer and songwriter Germaine Franco, co-director/screenwriter Adrian Molina and music consultant Camilo Lara, the DJ and producer behind Mexican Institute of Sound.
Miguel chases after his musical aspirations and winds up in the mystical Land of the Dead, where he has to weave his way through family history – to the tune of Mexico’s most distinctive traditional and contemporary rhythms. But a heap of the magic also lays in the Mexican music that courses through Miguel’s fictional town of Santa Cecilia and leads the pint-sized protagonist to emulate his hero Ernesto de la Cruz, a singer drawn in the spirit of Pedro Infante. The animated feature even brought a brigade of abuelitos from Tehuantepec, Oaxaca to the theater for the first time.Ĭoco’s allure rests in a blend of top-notch animation and a primarily Latino voice cast – all part of Pixar’s effort to make its first Mexico-set film as nuanced as possible.
