I borrowed a dvd of the animated film, _The Book Of Life_ from the library, and I love it!

The character designs are marvelous, the story was wonderful, and it charmed my socks off! :):)🙂

One of the best animated films of the past several years , and certainly the best non-Aardman. Great look and character design, and a plot that wasn’t just a rehash of the usual.

There were plans for two sequels, but I don’t think that will happen.

Any fan of animation should check it out.

_A Monster In Paris_ won my heart, just as much as TBOL did.
