This poster is absolutely repulsive

...

How and why?

Why is day of the dead such a popular theme for Sup Forums movies?

That kid is making the worst Dreamworks face I've ever seen.

It's the only mexican thing people know besides tacos

Did they really have to overdo the detail on those wrinkles?

>Mexican cartoon
>It's about DotD or Luchadors, or cartels if it's for adults
We need more Aztec shit, or stuff about Charros.

Is this the book of life ripoff?

we need a fantasy cartoon with popol vuh lore

>skeletons with hair

Yes

Is this you getting BTFO, OP?

>Dreamworks face

Holy shit, I was excited about this but it looks like a huge BoL ripoff.

An adaptation of the novel Aztec would be godlike.

Damn the town for the deceased looks gorgeous.
If that's where I got to live, I'd happily die as soon as possible

No, technically its been in production longer. That said it does seem it might have some of the same themes, but it might be a good watch while waiting for BoL 2

Those backgrounds seem pretty generic.

Aztec shit is pretty fucked m8.

Hair and eyes. Creepy

It's beautiful and colorful, marrying a grim concept (death) with almost fairy tale elements.

Also people don't really know much about Mexico, I guess.

The movie itself is pretty shitty.

t. mexican living on Mexico city

>literally 3D Marco Diaz
I need to rethink my life and my boners

>Book of Life invented Day of the Dead

This whole fiasco really just made BoLfags look like complete retards

Just ignore the ritual stuff, no need to show that the corn festival everyone is celebrating started with torturing children before drowning them.

The granny look creepy.

You haven't seen the movie, though.

I dunno, there is a reason why literally everyone thought the weird people who came from the edge of the world, rode giant deer and had boomsticks were a better alternative to the Aztecs and ganged up together

Not really, are all Christmas movies ripoffs?

So was your mom but enough people still saw her for you to be accidentally born.

People also know luchadors and mariachis

Is there any other movie besides this one and the Del Toro one?

Its not just DoD stuff but also the main character wants to be a musician but is forbidden to by his family. But a walk through the relm of the dead with his family solves everthing

I mean, I'm just learning about it, but it really looks a little bit like a ripoff, c'mon.

Look at the retard who believes bullshit

>It's Pixar
>dreamworks face
How the mighty have fallen.

This is documented by thier own fucking records, you fucking moron.

Apocalypto the Animated Version

The theme is trite and overused, the setting is very stereotypical, using a Pedro Infante look-alike as driving force for the plot is irritating, art direction is generic, whoever decided giving fucking eyes to the skeletons was good deserves to be shot, Disney is so up its ass that actually tried to trademark the holiday.

Aztecs sucked so much even the fuck everyone Spanish wouldn't fuck em. From what I hear Aztec lineage is pretty rare in Mexico

No, that was probably due to genocide from incredibly pissed tribes and small pox. The fall of the Aztecs was some wild shit.

Why isn't there a taco based movie yet?

yet still


>And the Oscar for the best animated feature of 2017 goes to...

You are a fucking idiot then. Literally everyone on Mexico city has aztec lineage and Cortes was able to gather so many groups under his banner because he was fucking Malinche.

That's whatever that Seth Mayers film that abused animators was.

>boxes and lights means instant Oscar
No, the Pixar label is that

Never watched Apocalypto, is it good?

>The theme is trite and overused, the setting is very stereotypical, using a Pedro Infante look-alike as driving force for the plot is irritating, art direction is generic

I agree with all of that. Having said that, you haven't actually watched the movie.

>Disney is so up its ass that actually tried to trademark the holiday.

Well they tried and they couldn't.

The reason was the Aztecs were grade-A assholes, they were awful lords, demanding huge tributes in everything to keep their opponents weak and subdued. When the Spaniards came, they seemed like a pretty good alternative.

Yeah and everyone in the US will tell you they are something % Native American, dont make it true.

oh they Irony.

>Never watched Apocalypto, is it good?

Yeah it was pretty good. Climax was a bit dumb though.

>Never watched Apocalypto, is it good?

Really is. Bit of the old ultraviolence if you're ok with that.

the boy looks like the 'deport this' kid

Why do actual Mexicans dislike Chicanos so much?

"anything to declare?"
"as a matter of fact, yes."

Disney is not known for their subtetly. Just check making of zootopia.

>That old women whose every wrinkle is rendered in hyper-realistic detail
>Everyone else just has realistic hair textures
Man, why does this movie have such a shit art direction?

ORANGE/BLUE CONTRAST

They're the Mexican version of "MUH HERITAGE" types

>Dia de los Muertos Movie
>released after Dia de los Muertos
Por que?

>The reason was the Aztecs were grade-A assholes, they were awful lords, demanding huge tributes in everything to keep their opponents weak and subdued. When the Spaniards came, they seemed like a pretty good alternative.
TBF to the people there the Spaniards were a pretty good alternative-Spanish allies in the area had higher status than their contemporaries but like almost all native groups were wiped out hard by shit like smallpox.

>but also the main character wants to be a musician but is forbidden to by his family
Except that's not the case with Coco at all dumbfuck
No it doesn't.

You've yet to explain what's wrong with the image

>Despite his family's generations-old ban on music, young Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead. After meeting a charming trickster named Hector (Gael García Bernal), the two new friends embark on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel's family history.

>In the Mexican town of San Angel, Manolo (Diego Luna), Maria (Zoë Saldana) and Joaquin (Channing Tatum) have been friends ever since childhood. Although their lives have taken different paths -- Maria was sent to Europe, Joaquin joined the military, and Manolo studied to become a bullfighter -- one thing remains the same: Manolo and Joaquin both want to marry Maria. Little does the trio know that battling husband-and-wife deities have made a high-stakes wager on the love triangle's outcome.

Wow...totally similar

What an ugly fucking shota

I don't know why people bitch about this so much. Yeah, it's a neat contrast and it catches the idea.
Are you going to whine and moan about all the superheroes who wear red and blue, too?

*catches the eye

>What if the Onceler was a Mexican Skeleton?

>Eyeballs in the skeletons

Jesus fucking christ how many animated Dia de los Muertos movies need to exist?

>Cortes
>A Malinche
You're not using that phrase correctly.

He's saying he was fucking Malinche. He was having sex with Malinche. He was not Malinche, but instead he was copulating with Malinche.

Why the kid is so ugly?

He's cute in the 'street urchin who comes up to you and pulls down his pants and asks for candy' kind if way

You know what bothers me the most about this film? It's not how ugly the characters are or the fact that it looks like a slight upgrade on Book of Life (which was shit). It's that moment in the trailer where the boy is watching the b&w movie and goes "yuck" when he hero kisses the lady.

Now I'm open to the possibility that this kid's just some giant faggot who thinks it's gross to kiss girls. But we both know that's not the case. No, this is the decrepit old trope of prepubescent boys finding girls and romance gross. And it's not fucking true. I did not think kissing was gross when I was this boy's age, and neither did any of my peers. This shit about boys being all about hypermasculinity and shunning girly things is either dead or close to dying and it's been that way for some time.

But Pixar, they LOVE hoary old tropes and stereotypes. Original thinking, or at least, observing how people act in real life as opposed to other cartoons and movies is anathema to them. That's why we got shit like the dad from Inside Out only ever thinking about football while his wife talks to him at the dinner table--comedy gold!--causing said wife to sigh because he never listens--ha!--and then daydream about hunky men--haha!

user... get help. Please.

The skeleton characters look appealing, but the spics are flat out ugly. Should have put more effort into them.

Are those skeletons bootleg Pedro Infante and Maria Felix?

They're like Newyorricans mixed with Ghetto Negros.

Also, none of them can really speak Spanish

Not saying you should do anything, just saying how he might appeal to some people. I would have said like a stray puppy but he seems a little more sexually charged than that, the way his hips move slightly when he plays his guitar, the way he seems to hold it, or the shy but bold way he smiles.

>out by thanksgiving

It's out here in Mexico a few days before DotD. It's pushed back in Murrica because muh thanksgiving shekels

That's is because "native blood" was a euphemism for nigger ancestry that people forgot was a euphemism and took for being literal. Different situation.

there's one more reason for this you didn't consider, that the image still looks good to the color blind (most common type where they can pretty much only see blue and yellow)

god, I know I'm on Sup Forums but seriously, you're the only one seeing this

There was a CN pitch short about two brothers who work a taco stand and did a day of the dead adventure. They also got a mask that lets them see the underworld whenever they want.

Pixar after TS3 is not what they used to be. Remember the ads for IO? "Most CREATIVE movie of the year".
They are desperate.

What we really need is a movie about Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

>catholicfag
a) No we don't.
b) I'm 100% sure there's one already.

You know what we need. Another Three Caballeros

>ads for IO
Honestly I don't remember. I don't even think I know what IO stands for

>Pixar after TS3 is not what they used to be.
Why is that, I wonder? What changed after TS3 that set them on this downward track?

You have to admit, as far as popular Mexican culture goes, it is up there. She's fucking everywhere down there.

This. Even whitebread southeners like me know about Our Lady of Guadalupe (but not so much i wouldn't want to see a movie about her).

And drugs

And drug tacos

What we need is PORN of Lady Guardalupi. Get on it!

How about an adaptation of the mexican Silmarillion?

This.

Forgot the fucking picture

Or, as we call them, churros.

>Thanksgiving
Missing the mark a little, eh?

Legend Quest was pretty good

Every culture has weird twisted shit. The Japanese buried a maiden alive under a tower for good luck and the Romans had bestiality rape public displays.

I just want my feathered serpent and maize gods.
