“The Book of Life,” a vibrant animated fantasy-adventure, tells the
legend of Manolo, a conflicted hero and dreamer who sets off on an epic
quest through magical, mythical and wondrous worlds in order to reunite
with his one true love and defend his village.
But Manolo and his equally courageous best friend Joaquin are not your
typical Prince Charmings; the object of their affections is far from
being your average princess; and “The Book of Life” is a fairy tale that
doesn’t go by the book.
Presenting a grand mythology set in visually spectacular worlds never
seen before, the film brings together director Jorge R. Gutierrez’s
unique visual style and a crowd-pleasing mix of adventure, action,
comedy, romance and music.
