It was revealed today at the D23 Expo that Pixar's upcoming movie based on the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday -- first announced back in 2012 -- now has an official title: Coco.

Coco, from Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich, is inspired by real Dia de los Muertos traditions of honoring departed loved ones by putting out photos and things they loved in life. The main character, Miguel, is a 12 year-old boy living in rural Mexico. Unkrich said he was intrigued by the idea of "a big family reunion between living and the dead."


In the test footage shown during the event, a long, single take down a street shows cheerful skeletons dancing and playing music. The skeletons are trading top halves (the top of one skeleton leaping onto the lower portion of another), juggling skulls, and generally being enthusiastic and joyful about the afterlife. A mariachi band is playing gleefully when one of the skeleton's faces falls off to reveal Miguel wearing a mask.

The skeletons gasp -- one's jaw literally falls off -- and stare at Miguel, who shrugs, and the music and revelry begins anew.

No release date has been revealed yet for Coco.

Disney also announced a new movie based on Jack and the Beanstalk called Gigantic, and story details for the Finding Nemo sequel Finding Dory were also revealed during the event.
