It is nice

This is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of bad movies, but nothing comes even close to this one. I watched it back in 2019, in a cinema. I was considering leaving the theatre (for the first time in my life...), but decided to just finish watching it. I am to this day upset I wasted my time and money. The movie is incredibly boring and predictable, there is almost no background sound/soundtrack. Almost nothing is happening in the background, only in the foreground. The characters are terribly written and impossible to root for. The designs are boring/painful to look at. Plus, the animation itself is awful, you can see not a lot of budget was put into it. The plot is completely unoriginal. The entire movie just looks like it's been forced, absolutely no heart nor passion was present in the making of this. It's just a complete disaster of a movie. For comparison, if you want a good movie based on Dia de los Muertos, or a good animation movie in general - I HIGHLY reccommend "Coco". It's a cinemtaic masterpiece, an exact opposite of whatever this is.

It was not bad, just not great. Felt like a knock off of Book of Life, only less funny. I would recommend for small kids who don't ask why, much. Because this movie made no sense in the end. Could have been much better, with a better story line.

Me: mom, can we get "Coco" on DVD. Mom: we have "Coco" at home. "Coco" at home:

I don't know why lots negative feedback.. but is just ok for me.. mexico also can make an animation.. salma dunno she was an sorcerer.. pedro is alive.. i thought he sacrifice himself with a train 😝

It was bit boring, at least for me. Mediocre quality movie.

When it comes to movies for kids I have my faves; when it comes to kids movies, my kids have THEIR OWN, and as you'd guess it, we coincide occasionally and some times we just can't agree at all. Día de muertos is a movie I do not think has the best quality in several production aspects. Reviewers mostly complain about a bad script, to me it wasn't horrible, just not top quality. Kids on the other hand can careless about a 'top quality' script, as long as they feel entertained and drawn into the story, and so it is that in this aspect, the movie succeeded. My kids were rooting for the main characters, cared for them and had good laughs, sometimes sadness. And you can really gauge how much they like a movie by how many times they ask to rewatch it. This movie is not The Book of Life or Coco when it comes to budget (though similar subjects) or production value but it has enough originality to stand on its own. Comedy in it does seem forced but again, my kids actually laugh through the funny moments and even days later would comment or reenact some funny parts of the movie. There are so many reviews I've seen here on on movies by less prominent studios, independent films or foreign kids movies that get absolutely trashed! When, some of them my kids and I have actually enjoyed quite a bit, many times I've liked those films better that those of the big studios that are so formulaic and extremely predictable. Is like they punish a good story's originality if the production value is not up to par. Día de muertos is one of those cases. It is said they 'spent a lot of many' making it but I doubt it would be significant enough to be compared to that of Coco's budget. In summary, let your kids watch it and let them decide, in this case, I recommend to skip the reviews and make your own mind. Sure, a lot of times when kids watch we watch with them and have our own expectations and disappointments. But if we're going to review we should take their opinion into account. So this movie deserves a combined rating of 8 stars!
