5 Guest: Marcela Davison Aviles – Disney Pixar’s Lead Cultural Consultant – Coco
Marcela Davison Aviles is the lead Cultural Consultant on Disney Pixar's animated film: Coco, winner of two Academy Awards: Best Animated Film and Best Song. The film is being lauded for achieving Disney's finest work yet in its cultural authenticity. Marcela is a hidden figure behind the success.
Coco is second only to Moana in largest openings for Disney/Pixar. One of the most incredible parts of Coco’s success has been how it has resonated so deeply with the Mexican, Mexican-American and Latino communities across the world, while also managing to win the hearts of an international and non-Latino U.S. audience.
