"Book of Life" movie- is it anti Christian

[staceylee67]

I have not seen the movie nor has my husband. He assumes, because of the images, that it is anti Christian. I told him that the whole sugar skull thing is from the Mexican holiday that celebrates loved ones who have died- Dia De Los Muertas.
Has anyone seen it? Isa it OK from a Christian standpoint?

christiananswers.net usually do christian write-ups and reviews on the latest movies. I'd check there

this movie looks like a bad thing

My husband said it also looked bad, but he also said that he didn't know and was just going by what it looked like. I did go to some Christian movie review sites, and it got good ratings from them.
Well, I saw it and it was cute. It's fine- not anti-Christian at all.
AND
for those who do not know, "Dia de Los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead" is a Mexican holiday where people celebrate those loved ones who have died. The "sugar skulls", understandably, are often mistaken as "creepy".

that's cool
I am Catholic, so I have no problem with Mexican "Day of the Dead" type stuff
I just did not know how close the movie stayed to that and how deep it got in with its own mythology

thanks for getting back to this thread
