Lo más gracioso es que cada vez encuentro más la cinta mucho más corta de lo que originalmente es. Pero es una decente cinta animada que técnicamente es muy impecable y argumentalmente es lineal pero disfrutable. Pero el final deja que desear.

A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. The first time around, since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I had some fairly high expectations. To be honest, it is rather unfair to judge this movie after watching 'Coco', another great Pixar production, when this movie was actually released 3 years before. Well... read more

From producer Guillermo del Toro and director Jorge Gutierrez comes an animated comedy with a unique visual style. THE BOOK OF LIFE is the journey of Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart. Before choosing which path to follow, he embarks on an incredible adventure that spans three fantastical worlds where he must face his greatest fears. Rich with a fresh take on pop music favorites, THE BOOK OF LIFE encourages us to celebrate the past while looking forward to the future.

A good movie

“I already saw this movie but since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. The first time around, since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I had some fairly high expectations. To be honest, it is rather unfair to judge this movie after watching 'Coco', another great Pixar production, when this movie was actually released 3 years before. Well, even though I really preferred 'Coco', I still enjoyed this other animated feature dealing with 'Dia de Muertos'. First of all, Jorge R. Gutiérrez came up with a really original animation style and the whole thing looked very nice. As I was watching this flick, I was wondering if it was based on an actual Mexican tale but it was in fact an original idea filled with some Mexican traditions. Fort” read more
