Therefore, weвЂ™re treated to LunaвЂ™s cover of RadioheadвЂ™s вЂњCreep.вЂќ Maria (Zoe SaldaГ±a) lies at the center of the story.В In the Mexican town of San ГЃngel, best friends JoaquГn (Channing Tatum) and Manolo vie for her love. In the first part, Luna played Manolo SГЎnchez, a bullfighter who really wants to be a musician. Hopefully, this means that we get to hear Diego Luna sing once again. вЂњThe sequel grew from that and people asking what was gonna happen with the characters, whatвЂ™s gonna happen to the gods? The sequel embraces all these things and, in a weird way, is a continuation of the story with everybody you love from the first movie.вЂќ But on Wednesday, at this yearвЂ™s Annecy Festival, he announced that TBOL2 is actually happening.ДЄccording to Variety, GutiГ©rrez will direct the 3D film, which will follow the characters we meet in part 1. An accompanying message simply said, вЂњWho wants to see this movie? Asking for a friend.вЂќ After getting our hopes up, GutiГ©rrez вЂ“ who wrote The Book of Life вЂ“ actually explained that the poster was forВ Sequel, an art exhibition that has creatives come up with posters for possible sequels.

GutiГ©rrez tweeted a movie poster for The Book of Life 2. Just like having Maria toss off a few вЂњfeistyвЂќ feminist quips does not distract from the fact that - once again - the most important thing a female character in a movie can do is get married.On November 29, 2016, Director Jorge R. Two anomalous token female cousins tossed in later - they fought in some battle or other ie, they did menвЂ™s work - only underscore the point. Eventually he runs into his own departed mother, and the point is clear: women are not generally worth remembering, and are not remembered except perhaps by their own children.

Here he encounters a long series of his ancestorsвЂ¦ his male ancestors, whoвЂ™ve all done amazing and heroic things.

Gutierrez - an animator and TV writer making his feature debut - and his coscreenwriter Douglas Langdale ( Happily NвЂ™Ever After) donвЂ™t think women are very interesting, consider this: One long sequence involves one of the men taking a trip into the Land of the Remembered, which is populated by those whoвЂ™ve died but are still remembered by someone still alive. Lest there be any doubt that filmmaker Jorge R. Either Joaquin or Manolo will get to save the town from rampaging bandits, conquer his biggest fear, and gain the love of the woman of his dreams. The heroвЂ™s is eventually embraced and celebrated. MariaвЂ™s вЂњrebellious nonsenseвЂќ - basically, she wants to be her own person - is punished and ultimately squashed. Maria is barely a character: we know she вЂњlikes books,вЂќ and eventually a couple of her interesting skills will be revealedвЂ¦ just in time to help the hero further his personal journey. Maria is present only to be pretty and to support the journey of the man who will eventually win her as a prize. If you imagined that the fact that MariaвЂ™s decision will impact the entire afterlife would mean her story is the centerpiece here, oh, you donвЂ™t know todayвЂ™s Hollywood at all. Will she choose sensitive Manolo (the voice of Diego Luna: Elysium, Contraband), whose father is pushing him to go into the family business of bullfighting but who would rather be a musician? Or will she choose lunkheaded Joaquin (the voice of Channing Tatum: 22 Jump Street, The Lego Movie), who dreams of vanquishing enemies on a battlefield? Two deities who oversee realms of the afterlife - La Muerte (the voice of Kate del Castillo), who rules the Land of the Remembered, and Xibalba (the voice of Ron Perlman: Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Pacific Rim), who rules the Land of the Forgotten - place a bet (вЂњthe greatest wager in historyвЂќ!) over which literally square-jawed mountain of manhood pretty Maria (the voice of Zoe Saldana: Guardians of the Galaxy, Out of the Furnace) will take as a husband the outcome of the bet will determine whether the deities switch realms or not.

The story the animation is used to tell, however, is so familiar as to be blandly generic, and totally unsurprising in both its overarching themes and its specific details. The animation, a CGI explosion of Mexican folkloric motifs, is fresh, unique, and gorgeous, if the design is at times so frenetic and overstuffed that it threatens sensory overload. (what is this about? see my criticвЂ™s minifesto)
