The Book Of Life

From producer Guillermo del Toro and director Jorge Gutierrez comes an animated comedy with a unique visual style. The Book of Life is the journey of Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart. Before choosing which path to follow, he embarks on an incredible adventure that spans three fantastical worlds where he must face his greatest fears. Rich with a fresh take on pop music favorites, The Book of Life encourages us to celebrate the past while looking forward to the future. 

I never in a million years thought I would love this movie as much as I did.  The different visual style of animation used was very catchy.  The story was simple but done well enough that you were rooting for the characters.  And the music was awesome.  The covers of recent songs mixed in with originals made this one of the better animated movie I've seen in a long time.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.  It is an incredibly enjoyable watch.  With all of the high profile animated releases, this and The Boxtrolls have really been two of the better ones.
