Joining in the revelry would be Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkirch, as well as the Toy Story 3 producer Darla K. Anderson, and the voice behind Miguel, Anthony Gonzalez. The ceremony would witness special performance from Gonzalez and Mariachi Divas, who would croon the tunes of Un Poco Loco and Remember Me.

Other cast members making their presence at the function include Renee Victor (Abuelita), Alfonso Arau (Papa Julio), Natalia Cordova Buckley (Frida Kahlo), Selene Luna (Tia Rosita), Lombardo Boyar (Mariachi/Gustavo) and Blanca Araceli (Emcee).

Coco has been a huge box-office success ($732 million worldwide collections), also winning awards for best motion picture at Golden Globe, whilst also staking a claim at the elusive Academy Awards  with two nominations for best animated feature film and best original song (Remember Me).

The ‘Coco Day’ will commence with a press conference at 9 am, followed by a presentation in Council Chambers at 10 am.

Charming animated illustration of one of nature’s wonders from Britain’s most inventive pioneer of wildlife filmmaking.

This typically delightful film from Britain’s great pioneering wildlife filmmaker F. Percy Smith uses model animation to capture one of nature’s engineering marvels: the spider’s web-building. Presumably judging that live-action photography wasn’t up to the job, Smith built his own charming eight-legged model, which he animates to illustrate how the spider “throws a thread of silk to the wind”. Arachnophobes beware: in the final few seconds the cute model is replaced by the real deal, seen shooting its web like an arrow.

This was Smith’s first attempt at animation, but it would become an increasing element of his films, sometimes to more deliberately comic effect, as in his series charting the adventures of Archie the Ant.
