Who produced Pixar’s Coco?

Darla K. Anderson produced Pixar’s Coco.

As producer, Anderson helped oversee the film’s development and production across its writing, design, animation, music, and post-production departments. Coco required extensive coordination because it combined a supernatural setting, original songs, a large family story, and a visual world inspired by Mexican traditions.

A producer is not the same as a director, writer, or composer. Lee Unkrich directed the film, Adrian Molina co-directed and co-wrote it, and Michael Giacchino composed the original score. These roles work together but carry different responsibilities.

Anderson was a longtime Pixar producer whose credits also included A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 3, and Cars 2. Coco was her final Pixar feature as producer, making the film an important part of her career at the studio.
