Ratings and reviews

Great film! I really adore Manolo and how he trys to stay true to who he really is, how much he loves his music and staying true to his passion instead of giving in to his dad and the love triangle is cool and amusing.

Absolutely loved it! A little slow to begin with but I soon ended up glued to the screen. Some brilliant and funny song choices along with a great story & script left me wanting to watch it again! ...and I will! 😋

It is a fantastic movie, it was one of my favourites when I was a kid. I loved the romance and tragedies. I also love the animation. I was devastated when Netflix got rid of the movie, but I still could watch it on other websites. Thank you for creating this movie!
