you know, i doubt Coco (??) will be a bad movie, i’m sure that it’ll be beautiful and the story will be good. Pixar (and Lee Unkrich in particular) have made some wonderful stories, and im not worried about the quality of the story
it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that Jorge Gutierrez and Sandra Equihua spent years trying to pitch their idea and weren’t even let in the door by most studios, that The Book of Life wasn’t even nominated at the Academy Awards, while this movie will almost definitley be a box office hit and a critic darling and win all of the awards, and so on
i love that Pixar is expanding into non-eurocentric and non usa-centric stories, believe me, im ecstatic, but we need to remember that while supporting these stories are great, it’s even more important to support non-white and/or indie creators
i won’t hold it against anyone if you go see Coco, but please promise me you’ll at least buy The Book of Life off iTunes or something
