The Book of Life is a fantasy-adventure film directed by animator Jorge Gutierrez. The voice cast includes Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, Danny Trejo, Ron Perlman, Christina Applegate, Ice Cube, and Diego Luna as Manolo. From the official synopsis:

From producer Guillermo del Toro and director Jorge Gutierrez comes an animated comedy with a unique visual style. THE BOOK OF LIFE is the journey of Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart. Before choosing which path to follow, he embarks on an incredible adventure that spans three fantastical worlds where he must face his greatest fears. Rich with a fresh take on pop music favorites, THE BOOK OF LIFE encourages us to celebrate the past while looking forward to the future.

DreamWorks Animation had originally had the rights to the film, but because of creative differences they decided not to pursue it. Reel FX Animation Studios, who made the 2013 animated film Free Birds, picked it up and made it their next film with del Toro producing.

The Book of Life is rated G.
