Book of life is one of the most colorful and original set designs I have every seen in an animated movie, especially in that is CGI animation.
This movie toke a real surrealistic style to the character design in order to pay homage to Mexican culture.
It's a classic fairy tale being told in a story within a story manner, with a museum tour guide telling a group of kids a fairy tale of three children who lives will effect the center of the universe, aka Mexico, when Gods gamble on what type of people they would be as adults.
Although as a semi-musical, the Glee approach in mixing in original content with contemporary hits kind of lessened the originality of the flick, but as a whole the movie was quite entertaining.
