It has humour that will appeal and the setting makes it interesting and unique for a mid-term outing.

Colourful and fast-moving, this animated film mines myths around the Mexican Day of the Dead to create a children's story about death.

Whether en ingles o en espanol, The Book of Life is a delight. In an animated universe cluttered with kung-fu pandas, ice princesses and video-game heroes, Gutierrez and del Toro have conjured up an original vision.

The Book of Life moves breezily from one scene to the next, keeping the pace brisk and rarely skipping a beat.

This Mexican fiesta of animated splendor is packed with visual delights far more sunny than sinister as they burst forth as if flung from an over-packed piñata.

Not dissimilar in merrily ghoulish spirit to 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', it's hugely entertaining.

Without a doubt, it is one of 2014's best animated films; a holiday delight that exuberantly bursts at the seams with irresistible cultural pride.
