Triangle
Triangle is a dance in which young man and woman entwine in a succession of lithe movements. The association is with the triangle shape, in a human context involving the introduction of a second woman into the mix. This triggers a dynamic of jealousy and rage, though it seems reconciled at the end. Nominated for an Oscar in 1995 it is a wonderfully envigorating fusion of dance, music and animation.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I don't expect much after looking at IMDB rating of just above 7 for this movie. But, this is much worse than that.

When I first seen this recently on television, I really really wanted to see this because of the beauitful animation and the fact its talking about Mexican culture, which I find very interesting. However, it was such a dissapointment with the music the movie covered and the characters personality development including the voice acting was all over the place. The singing was absolutely brutal, the guy who voiced the character Manolo sounded like a baddie henchmen rather then playing the hero of the story. I really wish Channing Tatum got the role instead of Diego Luna to be honest here. Im not gonna say anymore but this film is terrible and awful, I would regret showing my future kids in seeing this film if they really wanna see it.....

Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart, embarks on an adventure that spans three fantastic worlds where he must face his greatest fears. The Book of Life was one of the few films that i saw back in 2014 that was not just beautiful in the outside but on the inside as well for example the characters were fantastic especially Manolo and Maria, there was a bit of singing here and there and gave the film more depth and also more drama. But i also loved how much they respected the Mexican Culture and that was one of the reasons why i loved this film because it was so down to earth and so beautiful i mean every single character in this film was so down to earth and lovable even the villains at one point. Overall i'm gonna give The Book of Life an A+
