1st Look – Plaza de la Familia – A Celebration of Coco at Disney California Adventure (Pictures & Video)
Paradise Gardens in Disney California Adventure is celebrating the upcoming Disney/Pixar Film Coco with – Plaza de la Familia, A Celebration of “Coco” and the Everlasting Bonds of Family. Below are some cell phone pictures and a video of my 1st look at the celebration. Also I included the Disney description of the musical celebration and world of Coco exhibit.
The World of Coco: The World of Coco exhibit introduces guests to the characters and locations of the Disney•Pixar film “Coco.” The immersive exhibition features framed animation images that reveal the Land of the Living and Land of the Dead. Guests also will encounter a three-dimensional “ofrenda” inspired by the remembrance altar seen in “Coco.” In the film, Miguel, the 12-year-old lead character, builds an “ofrenda” in honor of his idol, the legendary late musician Ernesto de la Cruz. “Ofrendas” traditionally are created by friends and family members to honor relatives or loved ones who have passed away.
A Musical Celebration of Coco: A festive show, featuring dance and musical performances by the entertaining Storytellers of Plaza de la Familia, introduces guests to the story of “Coco,” which premieres in theaters Nov. 22. The musical gathering features a charming storyteller and a lively troupe of singers and folklórico dancers dressed in beautiful costumes accompanied by the Grammy® Award-winning Mariachi Divas. A Musical Celebration of Coco is scheduled five times daily.
