Le Monde magique de Salma

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

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

When it comes to movies for kids I have my faves; when it comes to kids movies, my kids have THEIR OWN, and as you'd guess it, we coincide occasionally and some times we just can't agree at all. Día de muertos is a movie I do not think has the best quality in several production aspects. Reviewers mostly complain about a bad script, to me it wasn't horrible, just not top quality. Kids on the other hand can careless about a 'top quality' script, as long as they feel entertained and drawn into the story, and so it is that in this aspect, the movie succeeded. My kids were rooting for the main characters, cared for them and had good laughs, sometimes sadness. And you can really gauge how much they like a movie by how many times they ask to rewatch it. This movie is not The Book of Life or Coco when it comes to budget (though similar subjects) or production value but it has enough originality to stand on its own. Comedy in it does seem forced but again, my kids actually laugh through the funny moments and even days later would comment or reenact some funny parts of the movie. There are so many reviews I've seen here on on movies by less prominent studios, independent films or foreign kids movies that get absolutely trashed! When, some of them my kids and I have actually enjoyed quite a bit, many times I've liked those films better that those of the big studios that are so formulaic and extremely predictable. Is like they punish a good story's originality if the production value is not up to par. Día de muertos is one of those cases. It is said they 'spent a lot of many' making it but I doubt it would be significant enough to be compared to that of Coco's budget. In summary, let your kids watch it and let them decide, in this case, I recommend to skip the reviews and make your own mind. Sure, a lot of times when kids watch we watch with them and have our own expectations and disappointments. But if we're going to review we should take their opinion into account. So this movie deserves a combined rating of 8 stars!

This is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of bad movies, but nothing comes even close to this one. I watched it back in 2019, in a cinema. I was considering leaving the theatre (for the first time in my life...), but decided to just finish watching it. I am to this day upset I wasted my time and money.

The movie is incredibly boring and predictable, there is almost no background sound/soundtrack. Almost nothing is happening in the background, only in the foreground. The characters are terribly written and impossible to root for. The designs are boring/painful to look at. Plus, the animation itself is awful, you can see not a lot of budget was put into it. The plot is completely unoriginal.

The entire movie just looks like it's been forced, absolutely no heart nor passion was present in the making of this. It's just a complete disaster of a movie.

For comparison, if you want a good movie based on Dia de los Muertos, or a good animation movie in general - I HIGHLY reccommend "Coco". It's a cinemtaic masterpiece, an exact opposite of whatever this is.

I'm a Mexican national and watching a movie with my 4 year old was a really good idea for a Saturday afternoon.

However, there was an excess of words that tried to be funny and made it difficult to comprehend for my daughter.

I will recommend to see it and watch with young eyes and remember being a kid with all your family elder traditions, that's priceless.

Don't try to compare it with Coco, it's a different setting and less a Disney movie. It feels more authentic and original.

Definitely there were things that could be donde differently, but my understanding is that the movie took a really long time to be made because of funds and legal issues.

I will definitely buy this movie and have it for my children to watch It again.
