主题研究
皮克斯制作团队多次前往墨西哥采风,李·昂克里奇、艾德里安和达拉领导的电影制作团队对墨西哥和其节日做了大量的主题研究,从墨西哥音乐到当地风俗。为了《寻梦环游记》,制作者们向许多文化顾问进行咨询,制作者们努力获取每个细节并保证正确性,不想出现任何文化误解。
电影命名
《寻梦环游记》的英文名为《Coco》。电影原定名《DiadelosMuertos》(即亡灵节),引发了争议。2013年5月11日,迪士尼申请商标“Día de los Muertos”,这一举动引发了墨西哥裔美国人的不满;
其中一位墨西哥裔美国漫画家LaloAlcaraz,将米老鼠与骷髅结合制作了电影海报,抗议迪士尼公司将他们的文化商标化。超过21000人在网站签署请愿书,认为迪士尼此次商标注册是典型的文化剥削。一周后,迪士尼取消注册并发布官方声明更改片名
