unlabelledView post →This one actually hurt. When I was finishing film school Jorge screened The Book of Life and spoke with such passion about its importance and influence. Squandering all that good will to make AI slop for Amazon of all places feels like such a betrayal.

unlabelledView post →Gutierrez is the person behind "The Book of Life" and co-created Nickelodeon's "El Tigre." So guessing this film will reflect those? Given the current state of things, a film about a heroic Mexican character who fought obnoxious Americans (Sylvester, Daffy) should be interesting...

unlabelledView post →yes, it's a bit obscure without the reference which is not exactly obvious for the GO audience - being a kids movie - but perfectly positioned for The Book of Life. delightful mashup

unlabelledView post →The Book of Life holds a special place in my heart as a film I got to watch early during my brief stint in animation school, and the bull scene remains the ONLY thing i can remember making literally breaktaking use of subtle, effective 3D along with its sound design. This fucking sucks, man
unlabelledView post →The fact that I didn’t even see The Book of Life and yet i remember how the characters looked His style was so fucking distinct that a movie from several years ago is still recognizable to me AND FOR WHAT This man had all the talent, and none of the integrity.
unlabelledView post →We always watch “The Book of Life” on Dia de Muertos. It’s such an amazing, cute movie! If you haven’t seen it, I couldn’t recommend it more~! 🧡🧡🧡
unlabelledView post →HAPPY TEN YEARS TO #TheBookofLife ! I may be more active in other things these days but I often think about this film. It's one of my favorites of all time and I'm so so glad that I went to see it in theaters. Here's some thematic art of my favorite ot3 of all time.

unlabelledView post →Jorge R. Gutiérez, a Mexican animator, writer, & more; best known for El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera (cartoon) & The Book of Life (movie). He was initially openly against AI, but is now suddenly supportive of it with his new AI generated cartoon, Punky Duck. People are not happy about it.
unlabelledView post →I like the movie Coco but something about it feels soulless and seeing it get a sequel and all this Disney IP connection just feels lame. In contrast something like the Book of Life is a bit messier but something I actually look back on fondly and enjoy more overall.
unlabelledView post →Wait, THE Book of Life movie? Dammit, I loved that movie.
unlabelledView post →Celebrating the Day of the Dead in one of the best ways possible. Watching The Book of Life...again.
unlabelledView post →I really do regress significantly when I'm sick. Just watched A Goofy Movie and it cured my soul a bit. Now onto The Book of Life.
unlabelledView post →Just the other day I was thinking my movie watchlist is way too big. Glad I can take off The Book of Life
unlabelledView post →Anyone remember the Book of Life? I remember watching the movie for the first time and found the animation style really charming and I thought it was super good My favorite part of it is when the apology song plays such a good song imo The movie is currently free on YouTube
unlabelledView post →Tell me your favorite movie not many people know. Hal Hartley’s The Book of Life (1998). Set on New Year’s Eve 1999, Jesus arrives for the Second Coming but is conflicted about ending the world because he loves humanity. The biblical book of life is a MacBook. PJ Harvey as Magdalena.
unlabelledView post →The Book of Life is obviously not a Rosh Hashanah movie, it’s a Día de los Muertos one, and yet I still feel like it’s the right holiday/movie pairing. Anyway! L’shana tovah, have some apples and honey, and please be understanding as your Jewish friends’ calendars get confusing for a while.
unlabelledView post →The Book of Life was one of those movies I saw when I needed it most. “This is our work, this is what we do” is a tattoo I’ve wanted since that day in the theater. I’d just quit my job to start on my art degree and I was so scared for my future, but that movie reminded me why I wanted to do this.
unlabelledView post →I feel that it's too late. More or less this is all I gotta say Entire situation also really stings too, considering that The Book of Life was a film I really liked growing up.
unlabelledView post →"Eager to use AI to bring jobs back" Bro doesn't understand that AI is replacing all these jobs. Also I'm deeply disappointed, and hurt. The Book of Life was a fantastic movie, to see its creator now suck the teat of creative and moral bankruptcy is painful
unlabelledView post →In more detail, the Book of life was the last film I watched with my mom before she passed 10 years ago. It was a film we both enjoyed, celebrated, and felt seen on the screen. The Book of Life is an important film that represents the love and creativeness of telling the story of dia de los muertos💗
unlabelledView post →I also saw The Book of Life with my friend in an empty theatre. And that movie is fucking amazing as is but we get to treat that theatre like a living room and just react.
unlabelledView post →Fuck AI so much, seriously... Worse is that the creator of the Book of Life is in those news and I love that movie... Oh well...
unlabelledView post →I’ve only seen The Book of Life (amazing film btw), but after reading this… I don’t think I wanna see whatever he makes next
unlabelledView post →So post Jesus.. I have to come back to PJ Harvey. Let's not forget she played Mary Magdalene in the indie film The Book of Life In my mind, there is a sequel to Jesus Christ Superstar.. another rock opera, in the style of PJ as Mary.. I can't be the only one thinking this🤔 youtu.be/ATFzSAJ4mhA?...
unlabelledView post →Man, the thing with Jorge R Gutiérrez hurts quite a lot... I loved The Book of Life as a kid and that movie was part of why I started posting in the first place... I'll still love the old stuff. But I'm not planning to watch AI slop and not planning to support anything new from him tbh
unlabelledView post →I made this The Book Of Life fanart at the start of the pandemic, the movie was one of the few i kept coming back to for it's artstyle alone. I planned to someday give it it's full-fledged post, but with these news i'd rather trow it out there without grace or glory. Manolo Sánchez fanart i guess.
unlabelledView post →The Book of Life is such a special film to me and now I'm going to have this sour taste in the back of my throat any time I watch it I'm devastated.

unlabelledView post →And in the case here, it’s Coco vs the 2014 film by Jorge R. Gutierrez, The Book of Life. And the latter is brought up because of the teaser of Coco…and name it, you guess it. “Book of life wannabe” “Book of life Rip-off” “Book of life copy cat” All of these tiresome stereotypes.
unlabelledView post →ooh The Book of Life is free on YouTube. It's SUCH a D&D movie, I haven't seen it in years!

unlabelledView post →The Book of Life is up on iPlayer until Tuesday evening. It's a really sweet animated film set around the Day Of The Dead with a gorgeous aesthetic. IMHO it's way better than Coco, which is far more known. www.imdb.com/title/tt2262...
unlabelledView post →Now is the time we pivot to the soundtrack for the 1998 Hal Hartley film “The Book of Life” wife Jesus (played by Martin Donovan) returning to NYC and with PJ Harvey as Mary Magdalene. Film not as good as the concept but the soundtrack was solid
unlabelledView post →Still livid that they had the audacity to drop the Book of Life in that movie.

unlabelledView post →Jorge R. Gutierrez having probably one of my favorite artstyles/one of my favorite shows growing up with El Tigre and having a great movie like the Book of Life (still need to watch it) only for him to piss it all away with an AI Gen show is insanely disappointing. Fucking christ man
unlabelledView post →The Book of Life is actually a very cute movie with really fun animation. It's tarnishing is sad.
unlabelledView post →I didn't spend 3 years going to bat for The Book of Life to have this be the eventual result, like... come on. That movie and fandom was a LIFELINE for me.
