Customer Ratings & Reviews

Looking at the movie cover, I didn't have high expectations for 'The Book of Life'. But, seeing that it was on sale as part of a BOGO deal and reading reviews of it, I decided to pick this movie up. The movie was better than I expected. A must have family movie with wonderful music and singing, funny parts, tender-emotional parts, and some mild violence.

I bought this for $5 and I think I severely underpaid for it. The picture quality is amazing. All the colors pop in the movie and the characters have a lot of detail to them compared to some other movie releases. On top of that the story is charming and doesn't drag on. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a family flick because it is so amazing.

A fantastic family movie! Wholly entertaining and original, there's been another movie that came out by Disney after this one, that played on very similar storylines and animation, it was good, But I feel that it plays second fiddle compared to this original gem of a movie!

I just watched the movie and liked it a lot, including the bonus features!

My kids loved this movie. My eldest - 16 loved it so much she took it off to college 2 years later and we had to buy another one for the young ones (ages 3 & 4). It's beautiful, has a lot of fun music, and once you get past the fact that it's all about the day of the dead - which is made as celebratory as possible, it's a great movie!

Our whole family loved this movie! It was beautifully made such vibrant and bold colors and characters. The movie was also very educational regarding the Hispanic culture in regards to Dia De Los Muertos in a way that young children can relate to. It was also a great story about love,friendship,family and forgiveness.I would recommend for anyone!

The wife and I watched it with our son and we both enjoyed it immensely! It was one of those movies that you just seem to enjoy. The storyline was great, so were the characters. Normally I can't wait for some of the boys movies to end or just find something's all right. But this movie had both me and the wife talking about how much we enjoyed it.

We purchased this movie in 3D, but you don't need to see it in 3D to enjoy the beautiful graphics. This movie also has a beautiful story line, while providing some great laughs for the little one, young adults, and the older adults too. This is one movie you won't dread watching with your kids. It's one of the better animated movies as of late.

The amazing animations in this movie make for a fun and entertaining lesson about the hispanic cultural tradition of The Day of the Dead. The story was well written... a romantic story even children will understand. The "dead" scenes are not scary so younger children will love this too. It's a colorful carnival-looking scene at every turn!

This movie has very unique animation. The story is great and not your usual storyline. The humor and music all blend in so perfectly to give that unique flavor of traditional festivities. We watched it twice...it was so amazing. Not enough was done to market this movie.

I wish I was able to have seen this in the theaters. The quality of this video is absolutely perfect. No flaws to be seen anywhere throughout. Colors are always sharp and vivid. Audio quality has a lot of depth. The 3D presentation is one of the best that I have ever seen. Lots of extras including a very informative directors commentary.

I remember when this came out in theaters and wasn't that excited to see it. It was recommended by a few friends and when I saw the Blu-Ray on sale at Best Buy, I decided to pick it up. It is a great movie so if you were hesitant about the title/theme like I was, don' t make the mistake I did. My 4 year old agrees.

I'm an archaeology and anthropology professor and I quite enjoyed Book of Life. It is quite a visual feast. What I enjoyed just as much was the respect with which the filmmakers treated the inspirational material. I was afraid beforehand that the movie would be disrespectful of the indigenous and Mexican ideas it pulled from. It is quite the contrary, as instead, the film introduces those concepts in a way that makes them easily understood for viewers of all ages and shows the wisdom within those ideas.

Love this movie it is so cute! Got it for my 8 year old daughter as a stocking stuffer. She has watched it at least 3 times a day since she got it! Definitely recommend buying it! The best part is that I could load he digital copy to her iPad which will come in handy on our long flight.

This is absolutely terrific. The 3D is great (immersive more than intrusive), the animation is unique, and the colors...! The story's typical Kids 101 (Be true to yourself, etc.), but that's not a bad thing. But ultimately it's the visuals that make this movie. I know I'll watch it again--and I don't even have kids! Highly recommended.

Very cool movie. This came out before Coco, which has a similar concept, but a completely different story line. The songs they cover in this movie reminiscent of 90's alternative, but a different execution. My child loves this movie, as well as my wife and I.

Nice movie at a great price for Blu-ray + dvd. Can't beat it.

Produced by no other than Guillermo Del Torro. This movie is full of music and colors. One of the most underrated films. Coco might have better animations but there's no doubt that the Book of Life inspired Disney's Coco.

If you want the perfect family movie, then The Book of Life [3 Discs] [3D] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D/DVD] is the go to movie. I enjoyed it, the wife enjoyed it and the kids definitely enjoyed it

I loved this movie. Such a wonderful story and beautiful graphics. The music is great and adds so much to the story. The movie will make you laugh and maybe cry. It is more then a movie about the day of the dead. It is about love, family, friends and life. Everyone I took to see this movie walked out loving it, both young and old.
