When aspiring musician Miguel (voice of Anthony Gonzalez) ends up in the Land of the Dead in Disney/Pixar’s “Coco,” his family takes him to the Department of Family Reunions, where a busy clerk (voice of Gabriel Iglesias) informs him that he’s cursed.

But, according to the clerk, the family member can include any condition he or she likes — even forbidding music forever.

Stop by the Provo Library next week to enjoy a movie night featuring Disney/Pixar’s 2017 animated film “Coco.”
“Coco” follows the story of Miguel, a young aspiring musician, as he stumbles into the Land of the Dead. Only an ancestor’s blessing can send Miguel back to the living world, but doing so might force him to give up music for good.
The film, directed by Lee Unkrich, stars Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal and Benjamin Bratt. “Coco” is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “thematic elements,” and its runtime is one hour and 45 minutes.
The movie will start Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., with doors open at 6, at the Provo City Library Ballroom, 550 N. University Ave., Provo. The event is free, no tickets required. Free popcorn will be provided, and guests are invited to bring pillows, blankets and snacks.
