Development
Lee Unkrich first pitched an idea for the film in 2010, when Toy Story 3, which he also directed, was released.
In April 25, 2012, Pixar announced a film inspired by Día de Muertos (English: Day of the Dead). On May 11, 2013, The Walt Disney Company filed a request to trademark the phrase "Día de los Muertos" for various merchandising applications. This move was met with criticism on social media from the Mexican American community in the United States. One of them was Lalo Alcaraz, a Mexican-American cartoonist, who drew a film poster, titled "Muerto Mouse," depicting a skeletal Godzilla-sized Mickey Mouse with the byline "It's coming to trademark your cultura." More than 21,000 people signed a petition on Change.org stating that the trademark was "cultural appropriation and exploitation at its worst." A week later, Disney cancelled its attempt, with the official statement saying that the "trademark filing was intended to protect any title for our film and related activities. It has since been determined that the title of the film will change, and therefore we are withdrawing our trademark filing." In 2015, Pixar hired Alcaraz to consult on the film, joining playwright Octavio Solis, and former CEO of the Mexican Heritage Corp. Marcela Davison Aviles to form a cultural consultant group.
The Pixar team made several trips to Mexico to help define the characters and story of Coco. Unkrich said, "I'd seen it portrayed in folk art. It was something about the juxtaposition of skeletons with bright, festive colors that captured my imagination. It has led me down a winding path of discovery. And the more I learn about [el] Día de los Muertos, the more it affects me deeply."
On April 13, 2016, Unkrich announced that they had begun the animation. The film's writer, Adrian Molina, was promoted to co-director in 2016.
