| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookFull of joy, color and detail, 'The Book of Life' is like no other movie. Family-friendly, but not necessarily a 'kid flick,' this film truly is a work of art. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottComplex but simple and full of life and the marionettes are wonderful. One of the best, if not the best, animated feature of the year. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comMaricar EstrellaThe Book of Life's meticulous, eye-popping visuals alone would be reason enough to upgrade to a 3-D seat. But once you hear the inspired renditions of Radiohead's Creep and Biz Markie's Just a Friend...you will be hooked on this tongue-in-cheek tale. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chase[P]ure magic. A fanciful animated tale told with wit and fast-paced action, it blends romance, adventure, and opinionated pigs |

| SFX MagazineJames WhiteIf you're after something decidedly unusual The Book Of Life is well worth checking out. |

| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyOTHE BOOK OF LIFE is funny, familiar, and fanciful, and it is one of the best animated features of the year. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneNina GarinIt captures themes about love, family, honor and friendship with a perfect dose of humor and sincerity. It's the kind of movie, like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," that you'll want to watch every year. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaMakes one realize just how homogenized, and even lazy, mainstream animated features have become--and how genuinely exciting it is to witness an artist confidently shatter barriers and boldly break new ground. |
