“We called it The Book of Life because, for me, the movie is about life and joy and memory and honoring memory, and knowing you can live forever when you have somebody that loves, and loved, you.”
For Guillermo del Toro, working on the Día de los Muertos–inspired animated feature The Book of Life was a chance to give a nod to the compelling imagery that surrounds the Mexican celebration, while also telling a story with mass appeal.
“You see these colors, this beauty, this magical power that Mexican art has, and the eclecticism of the culture is so strong,” the Mexican-born filmmaker told BuzzFeed at the ATX Television Festival about the stunning visuals in the upcoming 3D animated feature scheduled for release this Halloween.
The Book of Life follows a love triangle involving three lifelong friends — Maria (Zoe Saldana), Manolo (Diego Luna), and Joaquin (Channing Tatum).
The trio gets caught up in a wager by a pair of meddling gods voiced by del Toro favorite Ron Perlman and Mexican actress Kate del Castillo.
