Great news! Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award nominated Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” has been released on home media release to Digital, Blu-ray, and DVD, Digital UHD (4k) and Ultra HD Blu-ray (4k) on February 27.
I am so excited that I decided to host an amazing giveaway to celebrate the magic of Disney*Pixar’s Coco, and give one winner a chance to win some fabulous Pixar Coco items.
The full all-Latino voice cast for Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” includes: Gael García Bernal (voice of Héctor), Alanna Ubach (voice of Mamá Imelda), Benjamin Bratt (voice of Ernesto de la Cruz), Anthony González (voice of Miguel), and Edward James Olmos (voice of Chicharron), and it was masterfully directed by Lee Unkrich, co-directed by Adrian Molina and produced by Darla K. Anderson. I was so fortunate to meet them and interview them, as well as to attend the U.S. Hollywood Premiere and walk the Coco Red Carpet!

I love the mixture of English and Spanish in the items, especially the book; being a mixed, bilingual household we try to explore both languages evenly.
