The Book of Life

The Book of Life directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez, starring the voices of Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, Ice Cube, Ron Perlman, Christina Applegate, and Diego Luna.

The style of the animation alone is what drew me to this movie.  It is easily one of the most unique and visually pleasing cartoons I've seen in a while but it doesn't rely on that visual style alone to sell the movie.  It mixes in a good story the fully compliments every aspect on display visually.  The story line isn't trying to reinvent anything it's a simple love story told with a Mexican flavor.  For me another thing I really liked about the movie was the music.  It was some really good songs that made the main character even more intriguing and complex as the style of music, the lyrics, and just the sound really helped to flesh out his character. 

Definitely not time wasted.
