Pixar’sCocois the next animated adventure out of the award-winning studio and the last original project (i.e. not a sequel or franchise feature) they’ll put forward for the next few years. The story follows an up-and-coming musician who must keep his gift a secret due to his family’s mysterious aversion to it. When his journey takes him into the Land of the Dead–inspired by the rich, colorful tapestry that is the Mexican holiday of Dia de Los Muertos–he’ll need to use his skills to escape and make it back home.

The movie’s trailers still haven’t quite gotten around to actually featuring that music, but luckily a sampling of the film’s soundtrack is available thanks to Pixar releasing a few clips.
