okay unrelated but like back in 2019 for some prodigy acc your username was my password-- Literally typed like that and the nostalgia is just-
This movie was planned to be a trilogy with the sequels focusing on Joachim in one and Maria in the other. I really wish the director had gotten to make them.
There has been news about a sequel, No release date for The Book Of Life 2 was provided following the initial conformation, and Gutierrez clarified the sequel would have to wait under he'd completed work on another, then unannounced project. It appears Maya And The Three - which is described as the Mexican Lord Of The Rings - is that secret project, so its unlikely work will start on Book Of Life 2 until the series is released. With that timeframe in mind, it will likely be a few more years until the follow-up arrives.
While I do want to see a sequel, the first movies are always better, and I think a sequel would just suck the life out of it for me 😕
@@idontknowhowigothere5474 I couldn't help but laugh at "Suck the life" considering what movie we are talking about 😂
Me too! It was a great movie
@@idontknowhowigothere5474 I feel like if the director goes into a project KNOWING he wants to tell a trilogy and what beats the characters will go through it can be very good. Like the Kung Fu Panda or How to Train Your Dragon movies, where all 3 are very good and well done since the directors intended the series to unfold the way it did.
In 2015 when my sis was like 2-3 she said “Why is the bull sad?” And our step brother who was 6-8 said “It wants to die” this is why this is my favorite movie
LMAO-
It's suicidal
All the poor bull wanted was to die same manolo
I’m so mad, I just laughed 😀
I WOULD HAVE DIED IF THAT HAPPENED ME- 😂
As someone who hates romance movies most of the time, this movie is SO good. The animation is *great,* the story is good, and i simp for La Muerte.
Who doesn't tho
As someone straight, she’s really attractive. 😌
I 100% back you up on simping for her, because I also do. 😎
Sammeeed~~~ she’s so pretty :3 I like Maria’s outfit to
I wanted hair like Maria and La Muerte when I was a kid. Floor length , unrealistically thick, and wavy
I actually never realized that Joaquín was basically set up to be the main character only for it to end up being Manolo. With him having no family, having to live up to his fathers legacy, and Xibalba giving him the metal of everlasting life it just made sense we would follow him but nope!
FINALLY SOMEONE GIVES THE BOOK OF LIFE ATTENTION.
The amount of times I've binged Book of Life is scientifically impossible
for me its scientifically impossible and then some :D
Please same here man I adored that movie.
I wish it was still on Netflix
I know right I literally know the lines by heart
I remember watching it so much as a kid that me and my friend used to reenact the scenes with stuffies XD
I absolutely love The Book of Life!! It’s my comfort movie🤍
samee
so true
Same!
MY PEOPLE
I USED TO WATCH IT EVERYDAY WITH MY LITTLE SISTER!
I absolutely love that art style for the movie. It’s so unique with the wood and stylistic choices
I find it very reminiscent of El Tigre, but 3D. Which is amazing!
@@Annoniempje480 it's from the same director! Jorge R. Gutierrez. He also made the series Maya and the Three! It's really good, worth a watch if you enjoy his other works.
The thing that peeves me off the most is when people say Book of Life copied Coco, even though it came out *before* Coco. Like... huh??
one thing that's clear though is that both have absolute bangers!
I am surprised you didn't talk about the two gods more. I found their relationships quite cool, how we can see who is supposed t obe good and evil but in the end, both of them bet on the life of mortals, making their life harder with their rivalry BUT despite all that scheming and backstabbing both of them clearly love each other (Which I found really cute)
It's nice to hear someone agrees with me about Maria's behavior. I love this movie and the characters but I feel like the excessive modern feminism in many movies is pushed too far and it makes the female characters come off as really rude instead of independent.
Maria misleading Monolo and Joaquin (lemme know if I spelled those wrong) is pretty uncalled for in my opinion. She really isn't giving them a very fair chance. Hey, sometimes guys just need a push in the right direction.
If they'd shown more of her side of things while growing up, like maybe the school she ended up going to was really focused on teaching the girls that they're only there to love men (objectifying women, etc), then maybe her behavior would actually make sense. Anyway, just really appreciated that you acknowledged it :)
Manolo*
I didn’t even realize that it’s been years since I watched the movie and now I realize that’s gross behavior
Yeah I was talking about it with a friend and we agreed that at certain parts Maria embodied the phrase “gatekeep, gaslight, girl boss”. Which could work if we explored her character more in depth and gave her some believable flaws to work through. But she is always portrayed as perfect, her only “flaw” being that she’s “not like other girls”.
@arianna yeah I would have loved to see Maria’s character fleshed out more so we can understand more of her character motivations
@arianna That would be an amazing sequel
I saw this movie years before Coco so when Coco came out, I was like "hmmm that's familiar 🧐"
And then I actually watched it and realized that while there were some similar themes and parallels (especially the guitar aspect), it's better to have more variety than another suburban Christmas movie.
Also I can't get over the unique wooden figurine modeling 👏😫
Both movies actually focus on the Day of the Dead, not a suburban Christmas. The Day of the Dead should be a holiday that is more noticed.
@@SatansSilliestCreation
Yeah, that's what they're saying. It's refreshing for it to not be just another suburban Christmas movie.
Ros mo:**says there is no similarities**
Also Ros mo:so book of life is about this one guy who comes from a family of bull fighters but he wants to be a musician but his family doesn't want him to be a**laughs quickly**
Edit:That was my favorite par-
"Ever HEARD of" videos such as this one, tend to get demonetized, as it is the case in today's video sadly. You can support and help me keep making movie reviews through patreon: www.patreon.com/RosMo
or share my channel with your friends, I hope you liked the video and if you have any infamous animated movie suggestions, drop them down below!
Just thought I would give info regarding the The art style was was done by the same guy who made the TV show El Tigre and was a passion project for him also if you want something a bit more in depth because that's all I really remember I suggest checking out finnthepony 's review of Book of Life
could you please do "Ever heard of a monster in Paris?" I really like your videos and I think that you will enjoy the weird phantom of the opera adaptation!!
Um so I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of this movie but could you review a monster in Paris,please???
@Annette Hernandez omg I just noticed your comment I- wow we had the same movie in mind
Have you watched Red Shoes?
I absolutely love the book of life. It’s one of my childhood movies that I can’t get enough of! I watched it recently on TH-cam- (I have the DVD of it, but I didn’t ask my mom to play it so I could watch it, because she wasn’t there at that time and neither was my dad.). The bull scene-song-thing made me almost tear up, which is a first since I rarely cry during movies. I watched Coco at school and yeah they’re really different. The only similarity is the holiday they’re based on.
Jesus i loved this movie as a child ( and still love it). The first time i watched it was with my mom, it was evening and she said like that she downloaded a movie and we watched it till the night. She also loved it and we rewatched it really often. I rewatched it a month ago and it’s fantastic to me ❤️
For me, the best part of the movie was the two deity figures, La Muerte and Xibalba. For me, both seem pretty much like perfect depictions of god characters that you rarely see in a lot of modern stories. They could have easily made La Muerte the perfect morally good deity while Xibalba would be the obvious villainous god, kinda like what they did to Hades in Disney's Hercules. But instead, while both are opposites, both sorta see humans as beneath them and bet on their lives just for fun, and Xibalba, even though he can be cruel and cold-hearted, isn't evil, and you can kinda see where he's coming from. And when Manolo proves himself with the bull fight test, Xibalba actually respects him and even aids him. In a way, this makes him fill more rounded as a deity figure than just some generic evil dude.
(also, the romance between him and La Muerte is adorable, and I love the contrast of a cute skeleton lady and a sticky tar devil boi being madly in love with each other XD)
Wow I forgot how much I loved this movie back when I was a kiddo, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
A movie I grew up with and is SUPER underrated!
5:18 maybe he wanted a warriors death or felt bad for our guitar playing hero
What a noble bull 😂
@@RosMo4 A noble bull for a noble hero
I thought it was just for comedic effect 😂
That was part of my childhood and I still cry watching it cause it’s so beautiful
One thing I love about this movie is how relatable it is. Well, for me anyway. Let me explain.
The way Manolo's mom is depicted reminds me of my own. And much like Manolo, my mom passed away when I was very young too. So you imagine my envy when he gets to see her again. Being a mexican american woman, she had a love for her heritage, and I just know she would have loved this movie.
The Book of Life was one of my biggest childhood movies! Me and my friends would always have this as our go to movie when they came over for movie parties.
I love this movie, i always loved when Maria would show off the new things she learned after coming back. My family always watches this movie on Day of the Dead.
I remember this movie VERY well! Not only because it was the last movie I saw in theaters with my mom (who is Mexican-American) before she moved across the country from me, but it also had a large-ish and cool fandom for a nice short while after it came out. It's really too bad it didn't do well enough to get the two sequels it was supposed to have, but I'm also not sure any sequels could live up to it.
I’ve seen book of life when I was younger. I watched that movie with my parents and when I was in school my teacher would play that movie when its almost dismissal back when I was 2nd or 3rd grade. Me and my cousins loved that movie so much it was so underrated
Yes! I totally loved this when I was younger!
The Book of Life came way before Coco too (well 3 years but still) so I never understand why people say that The Book of Life is a copy ://
I am still absolutely IN LOVE with La muerte's design😍!
I remember when the book of life came out in theaters and i was soooo excited, i have a friend named Maria, you can imagine we both saw it that day. I will forever love this movie and it’s super nostalgic to me
What annoyed me most about Maria is when Manolo fell off the balcony and got squished, Maria laughs at him. He could be seriously injured Maria show some concern.
i remember watching this all the time when i was younger and thinking everyone knew about it, and now just recently people have been rediscovering it, and it just shocked me that literally almost no one knew about it??
It’s so interesting to watch people who are only just now seeing this movie as someone who has adored it for forever
I recently watched this and I didn’t think someone would talk about it, it’s so good!!
Side note, I definitely like components of this movie more than others and some characters more than others, but the most iconic part of this movie has to be the song of absolute cringe Manolo sings after his bullfight it is iconic.
Ironic how this movie portrayed maria when it's the same studio of El tigre who made Frida's character
In French the movie is called "The legend of Manolo" so we know for sure it's not about Joaquim
This movie always gives me such a nostalgic feeling, it was my favorite movie when It came out (I had a DVD for it but I lost it in my cousins house a year or two after buying it after 4-5 years I could finally watch it because my family got disney+)
I love how you always say there name in the right way with the accent
about the part where the two ladies said it was weird that maria read books for fun, takes place in a similar time like beauty and the beast. Where woman weren't supposed to read and stuff, it was kind of looked down upon back then, just lettin you know
God I remember watching this at a restaurant after choking on my taco from talking, I miss those days. I miss going to restaurants every few months it feels like years since we’d gone out to eat
The Book Of Life was one of my favorite movies when I was like 4 and its still one of my favorite movie
god, i loved this movie as a kid, newer generations have no idea how good this movies are
“Ever heard of book of life?”
YES THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES
It RiPpEd oFf CoCo
The book of Life is one of my favorite movies as a kid and you're telling me people thought it was a rip off of coco? The movie came out before
gah, i remember this movie, i remember the first time i watched it was with my aunt and i loved it sm. i'm glad someone is talking ab it :)
I remember in elementary school, my Chamorro class played this movie. I remember enjoying it and being like wow I really loved that. It was fun to watch and I’m glad it’s getting mentioned
Hey Ros Mo, your reviews are awesome! Could you do an "Ever Heard of Kubo and the Two Strings"? Would LOVE to see your take on it!
YAY!! glad to know it's not just my nostalgia for this movie that makes it good.
Fun fact: This movie is the reason I have multiple Alabrijes in my room
You should watch Maya and the Three!
It’s made by the same person that made this and it’s in the same universe.
oh my god i thought this movie was a myth,, i remember watching it years ago but i never really saw anything about it on the internet so i just kinda forgot about it
The Book of Life is actually one of my favorite movies.
It has such a heartwarming message and it's really fun to watch. 💖
Thank you for reviewing it. Great video!
I remember watching this movie when it came out and gosh….I loved it as much as I liked The Lego Movie. It’s so underrated. I’m glad people are noticing it now.
It has it’s flaws, yeah. I actually didn’t like the love interest all that much. I still love it though.
You know what's my most favorite latin animated movie? Rio (2011). Like is I still love it lol
thanks for reminding me of this movie, literally you just jogged my memory /pos
Miss girl! I love you but aaaaa a lot has to do with the culture. I love this movie specifically because it goes against the "machismo" hispanic culture. Aka, "brute/strong manly men" so a girl saying she is her own person, and going against the sexist ideals.
Of course Maria is upset that he friend is molded to automatically think that a woman is beneath a man. As a Mexican woman, I adore her. My fav girlboss.
With the family, its the constant guilt tripping and pressure to continue traditions. Both of them forced under their families shadows. So they break the chain of pressure (and abuse) and make their own.
I'm sure the difference of culture and upbringing give us different views of the same movie. But these are some of the main reasons I love this movie so much.
Honestly the book of life is my favorite movie
I love at the end Candlemaker says
“Today was a good day… of the dead”
Ice Cube voices Candlemaker
Also, Just a Friend - Biz Markie is covered during the serenade scene
This movie was a childhood favorite and it still is
My dad worked on this movie, I was three at the time, but my dad's name is in the credits. And my sister too because she was born at the time.
I’ve watch this, I don’t even know how many times and it’s always as good
Have ya ever heard of; "Mune Guardian of the Moon" ??, cause we or I totally Recommended for ya to watch it
YESSSSSSS I LOVED THAT MOVIE THERE WERE ONE OF THE CREATORS OF THE LITTLE PRINCE AS WELL
I definitely suggest Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart!! I love that movie ever since I've first seen it.
Some similarities i saw is how the main character go to the dead without wanting to, and the main antag dying from a bell
OK, this movie was my favourite for years and it baffles me how no one in my group knows it :(
My friend:This movie looks ANCIENT
Me:Noooooo its only.....5-7 years old!?!!?!
Me:I remember seeing this in theaters....
I remember watching this movie like 10 times when I was younger
Now that I think about it Maria is a bit of a Mary Sue.
Lmao also especially like Korra from Avatar
I guess you can say she’s a Maria Sue. I know that they were trying to make her a good role model for Latina kids especially with the misogyny present in their culture and media. But Coco had strong, flawed, and sympathetic leading women without having to “girl boss” it so much
I can still remember when I first saw it in the movie theaters it was the best thing I’ve ever seen except for Echo of course or Krampus but still that’s my second favorite movie
I actually loved this movie to death before ever seeing Coco. It's actually such a good movie in itself. The style, I believe, is what really intrigued me. The people in the beginning of the movie are skin, but then the story is told with the wooden puppet-like characters. I saw that style as insane and unique, so it was intriguing to me. I love both movies. The only true similarity is, the main protagonist is against their family's wishes for them, as their dream is to pursue something else. Which happens in a lot of other movies. Comparing the two and saying they're the same purely because of the small similarities they have, as in both revolving around Hispanic culture, Dia de Muertos, The Land of the Dead and protagonists who love music, would be like saying, ah, yeah, every Halloween/Horror movie is the same because it features dumb protagonists and scary stuff, as well as being centered around Halloween. Like, I know I'm rambling. I feel the only reason these two movies are compared is because they're not the usual for movies. They're the two biggest I ever saw that have ANYTHING to do with this culture or Dia de Muertos, or in this movie's particular case, Land of the Dead, which probably led to people knowing them as simply Dia de Muertos movies. Which is disappointing, frankly.
Even the characters, Manolo (I may have spelled his name wrong. I hope not.) and Miguel want to pursue music for different reasons.
Manolo seems to just want to do it, he's a skilled guitarist already. Manolo also "beats the movie", or overcomes his challenge, via music, his dream.
Miguel seems to just purely want to be famous, like Ernesto. His goal is to play, yes, but the whole spiel about Ernesto de la Cruz in the beginning feels like Miguel is a bit obsessed with the fame Ernesto has. It also could just be a build-up tool for the movie in order to make Ernesto *look* like a hero. Anyways, Miguel does not beat all of the movie's challenges with music. His drive is not what the movie focuses on, rather. It's more his discovery and the connection of his family, which he THEN mends by playing in the very end.
I just feel both of the main characters are different, as well as the movie themes and focuses. It's not fair to compare them both and say "oh Coco copied Book of Life" (which is actually false, entirely, because the movie was seven years in production with extensive research.) or not fair to say "Book of Life is worse than Coco and it was probably a sold idea under the table or something" because, even while that may be the case, the movies are different. They mean different things, they are about different people and different things.
I get a little frustrated whenever anyone makes the connection, or says they haven't ever seen BoL and still bashes it, because it's not a fair judgement to make.
I love this story, even a little bit of romance can warm the heart of a dry misanthrope
I still remember this film as it was one of my childhood movies so watching coco and seeing people react to coco so well and this so badly kinda sucked.
This was my favourite my movie for like 10 years and I still love it!
I remember going to watch it in theaters when I was really little, I haven’t watched since. I remember everything and nothing about this movie lol
I watched this movie so long ago, I forgot practically all of the plot.
You are unlocking a lot of memories for me lmao thanks…
After watching this video memories started flooding back so rapidly omg
_And my 8 year old self was a massive simp for Manolo_
I'm sharing some information nobody asked for so don't mind my comment
The Book Of Life Is My Favorite Flim.
i remember watching this when i was a kid good times one of my fav movies
I love Book Of Life. Was my favorite movie when I was younger
YOU GET IT! Thank god, I wasn’t the only *hemhem* “crazy person” that thought the Book of Life was a copy of Coco. I also agree, I loved the character dynamics, animation & such. I also love your channel. Anyway, hi.
Book of life was my most favorite movie as a child
I used to love this film when I was younger
everytime i ask somebody about the Book of Life they say didn't haven't heard, seen, or KNOW IF IT EXISTS I've seen this 500 million times know it from head to toe and I love it THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING ABOUT IT
I remember when it came out I think. They had those McDonald's toys.
i feel like it would’ve been a fun plot twist if maria ended up with a girl from boarding school and neither of the afterlife people (forgot their names) won
Rose Mo: “ talks about every character “
Chakal : *am I a joke to you*
I frickin love the book of life movie. Me and my mom would watch this movie 10,000 times a day
4:17 The zoom on Monolo’s stupid face killed me lmao
I loved this movie as a child!!! Am I the only one who watched the Spanish version as a child where they refer to "la Muerte" as "La Catrina" to make it more accurate to Mexican culture since the Catrina is an actual deity? All the information I have is from online sources or people I've meet who are Mexican, as I am a Chilean person.
I loved the video! but I will have to disagree with some points made. The only one I'll point out is the one that irked me a bit which is when the commentator says you don't hear girls saying I belong to no man at Maria's age. Im not sure how it is for some other people, but I was probably maybe at that age or younger saying that to my brothers or other male friends in the neighborhood. There's a lot of machismo in the Mexican culture (basically toxic masculinity) and my mom literally had me recite those very lines back to her at a very early age, which I was happy to see recited here in a Mexican centric animated film.
Oh! I never knew, that gives me a whole different perspective on the matter now! Thanks for sharing that and happy to hear you liked the video! 😊💕
The fact i watched this movie last night and used to watch it all the time when i lived in Illinois is so weird 💀🤚
i remember watching this when i was younger but i forgot about this movie until now-
In fact, I’ve watched this so many times when it came out 😭😭
The book of life is basically my fav movie. the animation is really good and its from my country! but its really good ngl
I really love the design of La Muerte she's very beautiful and honestly if I would have died and meet her I would gladly go with her and the fact that he got a lot of good respected and recognizable Hispanic actors to play to the characters is cool especially Diego Luna I love his work from old one-two narcos and voicing characters in Jorge Gutierrez projects also the cool Danny Trejo
I remember when I was little I LOVED this movie. And when I got older I wanted to rewatch it and when I did the memories flowed through me, the songs, the story, the characters everything. This movie is really good and I think it was that movie that I only watched because when I was little I felt like the only one who did (I was made fun of for singing one of the songs). But it will always hold a special place in my heart.
i will say it, "kid's" movies songs are just TOO good to be expected being sung just by kids.
@@mainnusubs Yeah
SAME! I USED TO WATCH IT EVERYDAY BEFORE I WENT OFF TO SCHOOL
Awww that sucks but this movie is pretty much a jukebox musical so all the songs are actual songs, but this movie does them really well.
The only similarities I saw and loved were it’s cultural festival and after life
And guitar
yes
@@Plottwisterrx 🎸✨ *guitar* 🎸✨
Both themes were the same and were shown in the same way. Both movies had a boy who had a family job that they didnt want to continue in order to become musicians. I'm not saying Coco copied but there are alot of similarities.
