Reviews

curiousmolar I don't expect much after looking at IMDB rating of just above 7 for this movie. But, this is much worse than that.

peenham-46348 Another piece of gender garbage where men should have to spend their life pursuing some ingrate woman. Through the plot shows how stupid is supposed to pursue the female character as she struts around showing no one is good enough for her and claiming she has all the knowledge of the world. More predictable Hollywood trash that man shames while trying to get more women through the box office. See Coco for a real movie on Mexican death holiday.

JLRVancouver "Book of Life" spins an animated fable through three worlds, ours, a fantasy world of wooden characters, and the lands of the dead, both remembered and forgotten (a great concept). The colour-soaked animation is mesmerising in places, especially the joyful world of the remembered dead. The story is a bit simple, given the complexity of the visuals, but still watchable and the characters are entertaining. Given the Latino themes, I found some of the voices in my English version a bit out of place (especially Zoe Saldana's) - I can't say why I'd have preferred everyone speak in Spanish-accented English but I would have. All-in-all, a fun movie that's worth watching if only for the aesthetic experience.

sumeet 2014 This has a touch of Spanish culture to it . The wooden animation is so vivid that you will no longer call horrible acting as 'wooden' . There is a lot of content as well as laughs . You won't hate any character by the end . My personal favourite is candle man .Songs are worth listening again . Seems , there are no limits to animation . We have seen 2D tom and jerry ; clay animation like bob the builder , jojo's circus ; then blocks animation in lego 2014 ; now puppets hold sway . Animation medium is powerful in right hands backed by a story . it will touch your heart . roles of every character have been researched in detail . educational stuff in it too presented in an enjoyable way .
