The Book Of Life [Blu-ray]

One of kids favorite movie. She loved the birthday gift.

This is my favorite childhood movie and constantly watch it and never get bored of watching it, I love the music so much too it makes me wanna buy a guitar and start learning how to play the songs. One of the best movies out there.

My kids and I love this movie!!! Watched it for the first time when my boy was 7 and daughter 2, now he is 17 & she is 11 and we all still love it!! "...churros,,, churros.... frosted churros.."

Book of life is such a cute movie for dia de los muertos or Halloween. I recommend for ages 8 and up. Depending on each family though one can be younger.

THE BOOK OF LIFE is produced by Guillermo del Toro, directed by Jorge Gutierrez, and features an outstanding voice cast to tell its story of true love (along with a generous helping of Mexican culture). The basic plot is about two boys, Joaquin (Diego Luna) and Manolo (Channing Tatum), who vie for the affections of a girl, Maria (Zoe Saldana). As people they're fairly opposite, with Manolo being a musician at heart (his family's profession is bullfighter) and Joaquin being a soldier who does great deeds of derring-do. Unbeknownst to them, however, Lady Muerte and Xibalba (Ron Perlman) have entered into a wager about which of them can win the heart of Maria and it sets Manolo on a journey that will take him to both realms of the dead. First, I should say that the character design, animation and overall look of the film was extremely creative and visually unique, befitting a Guillermo del Toro production. The colors popped and everything in the world of the film was brought to vibrant life. The voice cast was equally impressive, although there were a couple of people who took me out of it for a little bit before getting sucked back into the story. The biggest offender was probably Ice Cube, who voices the Candlemaker, although they did stick in a couple of good jokes and references for him. I also got taken a little bit out of the story by realizing that Danny Trejo and Cheech Marin also voiced characters in the film, but again, they still did great work here. Another high point was the music. The score was pretty good, but what really stood out was the use of modern pop songs in what is (mostly) a period piece set at an indeterminate time in the past. Of course, I didn't mind that one bit at all. I also thought that the first half to two-thirds of the story were excellent. It succeeded telling an emotionally moving story with plenty of interesting characters, but at a certain point it resorted to the standard climax and resolution that wrapped up everything with a nice little bow. And despite much of the humor working, at times I felt it was a little too silly for its own good. Still, at the end I was completely won over. Had I seen this last year, I'm fairly certain it would have made my top ten. As it stands, this was an incredibly charming and visually rich film that should appeal to kids and adults alike, and also serves as a valuable cultural lesson.

What an amazing movie, the anamation is fabulous, told like they where wooden puppets adn the music is great!!!! fun for all ages

Lo compre y como es importación tenía la duda si tendría en audio latino, pero viene incluido en el Blu Ray, el DVD no lo e checado llegó antes de lo esperado y está mucho más barato que en muchos establecimientos, buena calidad de imagen sonido, el pedido llegó integro sin abolladuras o rayones nada de nada (no me gustó la portada de María me gusta más la Catrina) el contenido es lo que importa una película del grandioso Guillermo del Toro y una buena oportunidad para adquirir la es una gran compra.

Very nice

A good way to spend time away from the world.

皆さんが感想を述べているように、この作品はブルーレイで見ると、より素晴らしく感じると思います。3Dも良かったですよ。何故、日本ではDVDのみの発売なのか?
