I personally love this film. It was really good. Not only does it capture the Day of the Dead very well, but it is both funny AND emotional. No wonder Reel FX learned after the disaster they caused with Free Birds.I think Jorge R. Gutierrez must've been influenced by Don Bluth and/or even John R. Dilworth when it comes to making this film, and that is awesome.I love the animation, the characters, the humor, the acting, a lot of things in this movie are really good.I even enjoyed the song "No Matter Where You Are". Even my mom loved this film. I find Manolo a very likable character.I highly recommend this film if you're looking for an animated Day of the Dead film, other than Disney and Pixar's Coco.

I just love it!!! A romance, action and comedy movie for children! What more does it need? It's perfect! Joaquin and Manolo trying to win Maria. Just a good plot. The adventure has pretty good action and humor! The scene of Manolo winning the judging part I was just so glad to come across this joyful movie! Must see movie! Like watch it NOW!!

I never write any review as I think movies are far too much personal. What is a 5 to one, is a 9 to other. But i had to write something at least about this one. I don't know if was just me, but i got mixed felling about this one. Weird really. In one minute I'm about to stop watching, the next i'm laughing, in others,having some knot in my throat (that's what a good movie suppose to do with you, isn't it?). Really beautifully shot. Great soundtrack. A bit of the Mexican culture seen in a way we can understand it. If you are a fan of animation, watch it. If you are a fan of life, watch it. If you just want to kill some time, watch it. I bet you won't regret!!!

This has a touch of Spanish culture to it . The wooden animation is so vivid that you will no longer call horrible acting as 'wooden' . There is a lot of content as well as laughs . You won't hate any character by the end . My personal favourite is candle man .Songs are worth listening again . Seems , there are no limits to animation . We have seen 2D tom and jerry ; clay animation like bob the builder , jojo's circus ; then blocks animation in lego 2014 ; now puppets hold sway . Animation medium is powerful in right hands backed by a story . it will touch your heart . roles of every character have been researched in detail . educational stuff in it too presented in an enjoyable way .
