The Book of Life. If my father were as foolish as the crafters and casters of this ocu bull production for mass induction-- He would sue them for the title. Search and you will find no man who can even break the seal to open its cover. Principalities and Messengers weep. Dominions and powers and rulers of powers Inquire. This smells like poop, you can bet it will taste like it too. Not even useful for sharpening battle skills. Not worth the time to destroy.Even to those who read between the lines.

As a 23 year old, I can see how this would be good for little kids. However, if I am going to give a PG-rated, animated movie 5 stars, it's going to be because it's a good movie for adults as well. I was expecting this movie to be great and creative with the Mexican-style theme of Día de los Muertos, but it just didn't cut it for me. This movie was all over the place and was hard to follow, the pacing was off, and I think it tried way too hard to be funny. I gave it 2 stars because of the creative visuals and because they did a rendition of "Creep" by Radiohead. If you want a great movie with great life lessons for both adults and kids, Big Hero 6 is it in my opinion.

Went to go see the movie with my mother and the kids, being a Mexican American family it was really nice to see a beautiful work of art like this on the screen. We need more films like this for children, movies that have adequate representation. This is a great movie, if you have lost someone very dear to your heart, like I did recently you will think of them almost every second. This movie will make you remember them, make you sad then reassure and comfort you. Great story, excellent movie for all ages.
