Anthony Gonzalez the star of the film, spoke with Monkeys Fighting Robots back in November and tolds us why he loves
“I love, first of all, the music, it is amazing. I’ve been singing and acting since I was four years old and I knew since then that I wanted to sing and act for the rest of my life and to be in a movie where I can do both of these things is just incredible and I’m just blessed to be in this wonderful movie. And I also love that it celebrates this wonderful celebration, the Day of the Dead. It’s specifically Mexican culture but this celebration can be universal because who doesn’t have ancestors that have passed away, and in the Day of the Dead you can be with them and connect with them once again,” said Gonzalez.
If you loved Coco, you’re going to enjoy the bonus content as you get to go behind-the-scenes and get a better understanding of the filmmaking process.
