Kids' cartoon uses animation in an unconventional way
1016BOOK-of-LIFE-2
The character Joaquin is voiced by Channing Tatum in a scene from "The Book of Life."
“The Book of Life” is a Mexican-accented kids’ cartoon so colorful and unconventionally dazzling it almost reinvents the art form. As pretty as a just-punctured pinata, endlessly inventive, warm and traditional, it serves up Mexican culture in a riot of Mexican colors and mariachi-flavored music. The tale is told by a museum tour guide in an effort to impress a raucous bunch of American school kids.
