Salma e o Grande Sonho

Making an animated movie requieres a lot of things. Some of these things are a budget, of course; a good script; and creativity. Día de Muertos doesn't have any of those things.

I know there's a lot of people here in Mexico trying to grow the animation industry, but animated movies should be made only when they're worth of trying. Día de muertos took over 5 years to complete it's production, why would you spend so much time and money in something that doesn't have a good script? And I really mean it: the story is unbelievable boring and forced, each single situation and decision through the film feels unnatural and even cringy; characters are unidimensional and inconsistent with they're own develop; jokes are just repetitive and annoying to the point I wanted to leave the theatre (and I NEVERE do this). So, if you don't have a good script why are you trying to make an animated movie? And it is obvious that the producers didn't have the budget neither.

The lack of creativity is fundamental for this cinematographic failure. It's like if they just made the most "off the shelf" characters, designs and EVERYTHING in order to bring us something without soul.

The only reason I would recommend this is if you want to learn what NOT TO DO if you want to make an full length animated feature. Any other reason you're wasting your time.

It was bit boring, at least for me. Mediocre quality movie.

It was not bad, just not great. Felt like a knock off of Book of Life, only less funny. I would recommend for small kids who don't ask why, much. Because this movie made no sense in the end. Could have been much better, with a better story line.

I enjoyed the film and was impressed with the animation with such a limited budget.

If you are looking for an outstanding Disney/Pixar animated movie that resonates through generations... skip this one.

Día de Muertos is a simple weekend movie aimed to kids and just that. There is not a complex plot, a message that needs to be analized, nor a compelling screenplay that will be praised.

The animation is good considering the budget, and the plot, like I said, simple.

The cast did what they could with the material they were offered. Memo Aponte, Alan Estrada and Fernanda Castillo are very talented voice actors, and that's Día de Muerto's wisest choice.

Its biggest sin was to be released right after Academy Award winner Coco, and the comparison is unfair since it never aspired to be that.

Turn off your brain and enjoy it.
