Death becomes him

Film director Lee Unkrich waxes lyrical about his award-winning Day of the Dead romp, Coco, at China's premier animation festival. Xu Fan reports.

When award-winning American director Lee Unkrich addressed the 14th China International Cartoon & Animation Festival in Hangzhou on Friday, the hall was so full that some of the attendees were forced to sit on the floor.

With his directorial hits Toy Story 3 and Coco, both winning best animated feature Oscars in 2010 and 2017, respectively, Unkrich's speech was one of the hottest tickets at the annual festival.
