[embedded content] UPDATED WITH VIDEO: _Coco_ director Lee Unkrich gave a shout-out “to the incredible people of Mexico” without whom he said the film would not exist. The hit Pixar film
added to its early awards season haul, taking the best animated feature trophy at tonight’s Golden Globes. The win follows best animated film honors from the National Board of Review and New
York Film Critics Circle. _Coco_ also was nominated in the Globes’ song category for Robert Lopez’s “Remember Me.” Pixar’s _Coco_ takes place during the Mexican holiday Dia de Los Muertos.
Directed by Unkrich and Adrian Molina, _Coco_ follows a young boy, Miguel, who wishes to be a star-studded crooner of standards, just like his grandfather, the legendary singer Ernesto de la
Cruz. However, music is of the devil in Miguel’s family, and de la Cruz is largely to blame for the curse. In order to make generational events correct, Miguel finds himself on the other
side of life with relatives he’s only heard stories about. Other nominees in the best animated feature category were _The Boss Baby, The Breadwinner, Ferdinand_ and _Loving Vincent._ WATCH
