So much so that when Pixar announced they were making a “Day of the Dead” movie, everyone instantly started to make comparisons. In the end, it became more of a home video hit.

But the similarities have made a lot of people wonder. Ok, so not really, these aren’t actually the same movie. However, as an avid fan of all things animated, I was very happy with this movie when it came out in 2014 as The Book of Life, produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Jorge Gutierrez. It’s Oscar season, and as an animator, Pixar’s Coco is almost a shoe-in to be the Best Animated Film (although the looming shadow of Boss Baby might just steal…lololol).
