K G An illuminating DotD movie that should not just have to be for kids. Like I titled it, the adults can watch alone. It may not have been a Blue Sky movie, but 20th with Reel FX managed to make this masterpiece. From beautiful attractive designs of our love triangle to the bizarre cartoonish appearance of the mariachi band. I love how this is also educational as well as Mary Beth introduced the students to the Book of Life, its origins & how Mexico is the centre of Earth. Another distinct things it does is tell one of the stories, that being a love triangle - 2 men want a beautiful woman, Maria. Manolo (my favourite character) was the best fit for Maria who was really wonderful with performing songs being selfless, rather doing that than not fighting unlike Joaquin who was a bit full of himself. Soon, Manolo dies but the wierd yet miraculous part is that he came back to life like the deceased to fight those who would make them to the Land of the Forgotten since he has a story to be written more about. I love this movie, I love the music & the romance.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Stephen L "The Book of Life" is a visually breathtaking animated adventure that brings the spirit of Día de los Muertos to life with rich cultural flair. With its vibrant, puppet-like animation style and a heartfelt story of love, courage, and destiny, the film offers a refreshing departure from conventional animated fare. Though the narrative follows familiar beats, its charming characters, lively humor, and inventive soundtrack keep it engaging. While not without its flaws, "The Book of Life" is a uniquely artistic and emotionally resonant film that stands out in the animation landscape.
