The First Trailer For ‘The Book Of Life’ Is Totally Magical

Briefly: This looks absolutely gorgeous.

Fox has just released the first trailer for The Book of Life, which was produced by Guillermo Del Toro (if you couldn’t tell by the super-Spanish stylings and Ron Perlman’s involvement), directed by first-timer Jorge R. Gutierrez, and stars Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, Danny Trejo, Christina Applegate, Ron Perlman, and plenty of others.

The film follows “the journey of Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart. Before choosing which path to follow, he embarks on an incredible adventure that spans three fantastical worlds where he must face his greatest fears. Rich with a fresh take on pop music favourites, The Book of Life encourages us to celebrate the past while looking forward to the future.

The animation here is really beautiful, and we can’t wait to see more. Take a look at the first trailer for The Book of Life below, and let us know what you think! The film hits theatres on October 17th!
