Review: You Need to See This Movie! - Jorge Gutierrez (and his wife Sandra) are two of my favorite artists, so my review may be a bit biased. In any case, this is a beautiful movie that is worth seeing. Some people say it is boring or morbid, but it's really neither of these things. Perhaps for someone who can't sit still it would take some work to really catch everything that's going on, but this movie is certainly far from boring. As for morbid, this story handles the theme of the underworld just like The Corpse Bride or an array of childern's Halloween movies and it isn't gory, gross, or really morbid at all. In fact, the underworld is shown as a colorful, happy place. This is a good story to expose your child (and yourself) to how death and the underworld are viewed in different cultures and to learn about the customs. I can't say there are any negatives to the story other than it moves a bit fast, so if you aren't paying attention to it, you can miss a lot of important information, and there is a sort of mash-up mix happening between Spanish(the bull fighting theme) and Mexican cultures. If you aren't familiar with Jorge Gutierrez's art style (like his previous show El Tigre) the art can be a bit confusing, but once you become used to this created world then you can appreciate the beauty in design. This is a wonderful, colorful, beautiful story which also includes some of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in an animated feature. Definitely worth watching, multiple times even. Review: Book of Life - One of my favorite movies!!! Could watch is over and over again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Q5998XK | | Aspect Ratio | 2.35:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #26,930 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #742 in Kids & Family Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (17,502) | | Director | Jorge Gutiérrez | | Dubbed: | French, Spanish | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | FOX2293546BR | | MPAA rating | PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) | | Media Format | Blu-ray | | Number of discs | 2 | | Producers | Aaron Berger, Brad Booker, Carina Schulze, Guillermo del Toro | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release date | January 27, 2015 | | Run time | 1 hour and 35 minutes | | Studio | Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Aaron Berger, Brad Booker, Carina Schulze, Guillermo del Toro, Jorge Gutiérrez - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Genre:** Family - **Initial release date:** 2014-10-17 - **Language:** English ## Images ![The Book Of Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91WPvH3cSZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Need to See This Movie! *by T***I on April 6, 2015* Jorge Gutierrez (and his wife Sandra) are two of my favorite artists, so my review may be a bit biased.

Could watch is over and over again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Book of Life *by C***8 on October 28, 2016* This movie while traveling abroad for work last year. This movie is not only visually stunning, it also brings a simple but elegant explanation of the day of the dead. All of the characters were fleshed out very very well, the storyline was very engaging and the morals about family and knowing one's self and being unassailed by social expectations resound throughout. My girlfriend just recently watch this with me for the first time the other day and enjoyed it thoroughly. We even spoke about it a couple days after word, as she was so enamored with it. This is a great family film that I personally would recommend to anyone living on the North American or Central American continen girlfriend just recently watch this with me for the first time the other day and enjoyed it thoroughly. We even spoke about it a couple days after word, as she was so enamored with it. This is a great family film that I personally would recommend to anyone.
