... Looks prettier than it is good. Stunning animation and design... too bad it didn't have a particularly great script behind it. :S

Good humor (funny one-liners), pretty impressive animation, interesting main characters, but the plot... the plot seemed to be promising at first, as it seemed to take us to a pipeline journey. But in ended up with the same, usual, boring cliche. Not to mention the forced deus ex machina and really forced climax that does not succeed in portraying the intended message (facing your fear). The conflict that leads to the resolution to the climax is not satisfying.

Well, this film will always be compared to Coco and it really shouldn't be as though they tackle some of the same topics and cultural subjects it is a very different film. This film was a blast to watch and though the start was a little slow and confusing the film picked up after 10 minutes. The movie is very whimsical with its visuals and story, the visuals were very unique and kept me captivated the entire way through. But the story has a lot of heart and had me laughing and crying at different points. Definitely recommend it for kids and adults alike, also the music in the film was really great with Diego Luna killing it as usual.

Wow, this was not as good as I was hoping. While the animation is beautiful in spots, the characters are paper thin and the plot drags. I found my attention wandering, despite the fact that this film includes dozens of those LOUD animation moments meant to keep the children's attention. Every ch More

The big eyes and the slightly cardboard-box style of animation is really quite engaging as we follow the tale of "Manolo". He's an excitable young man who finds himself torn between staying home and living the life his family want him to, and setting off and having some adventures of his own. It's t More
