Pixar's finally letting us play in VR.

The animation studio has announced its first-ever VR experience, dropping a trailer at Facebook's Oculus Connect conference on Wednesday.

Based on the studio's upcoming Day of the Dead-themed film, the highly colorful Coco VR experience is coming to Oculus Rift on Nov. 15 and Gear VR Nov. 22, when Coco will be released in U.S. theaters.

Directed by Toy Story 3's Lee Unkrich, Coco is new adventure about a young musician, Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez), who finds himself in the Land of the Dead with some family history hunting to do.

The VR experience will let you wander around the Land of the Dead, playing a skeleton, picking up items, interacting with characters and casually dancing on stage with your fellow skeletons. Plus, it will have a social element to it.
