Christina Applegate opens a world unlike any in "THE BOOK OF LIFE"

Like all good books, that first sentence, that first burst of an author’s voice will dictate the rest of your journey through the subsequent pages. Movies are no different, where the first image or the first sound of a character’s voice will instantly transport you into the world on screen. In the new animated fantasy-adventure “The Book of Life,” that first burst of color is provided by what looks like an ordinary museum.

But audiences will find a world beyond their imagination right through those doors.   Film and television star Christina Applegate opens up and leads audiences into a tale that does everything but go by the book in "The Book of Life."
