LISTEN THE HELL UP EVERYONE:
THIS IS PLANNED TO BE A TRILOGY
Yeah, you heard me! The Book of Life is Monolo’s Story, the sequel is going to be Joaquin’s story, and the third is to be Maria’s story. They want to make a gorgeous animated movie starring a Latina character
that is NOT going to happen unless this movie brings in some serious bucks
As of October 26th, this movie has made almost only 30 million
I know I’ve been insistant on How Train Your Dragon 2, but I am a million times more agressive about this movie
The Book of Life took 5 YEARS TO MAKE. Jorge R. Gutierrez has been wanting to make this movie for 14 YEARS but was said no countless times until finally a small studio gave this project a chance
this is honestly the most work, love, soul, dedication and passion i have ever seen go into a movie, animated or not. I cried during the film, and I cried hearing the people who worked on this project talk about it and and all it represents and what hope it brings and there’s just too much that’s amazing about it that i can’t even fit it all here
go see this movie. if you already have, see it again. tell EVERYONE you know to go see it. please for the love of god
this is our one chance to make movies made by and starring poc successful, to show that kids movies that have layers upon layers of meaning and that don’t talk down to its audience be successful
i’m honestly crying and shaking right now because I am terrified that this movie is not gonna make even it’s own production costs back and that the 14 year struggle to get this on screen will be for nothing
