The Book of Life

CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A young man torn between family expectations and his own heart embarks on a fantastical journey through worlds inspired by Mexican mythology and the Day of the Dead. Along the way, he faces dangerous challenges, old fears, and questions about love, courage, and choosing his own path.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like colorful animated adventures such as Over the Moon or Vivo; Not for you if predictable plots, frantic humor, or unusual character designs are a dealbreaker.
