Meh. I'll probably go see it because I make a point of seeing most animated feature films these days. But the preview footage felt like "yet another Disney/Pixar feature" and didn't wow me.

[(Anonymous)]

... I want to see it for the Frozen short.

[(Anonymous)]

NGL That's the main reason I want to go see it. Frozen Fever was the main reason I went to see Cinderella too. I hope Coco is good though because Cinderella was mind-numbingly boring.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, same to all of that.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, how many Christmas movies are there? Or Thanksgiving movies, Halloween, Easter, or movies about the Independence Day of any country? And people are bitching about TWO Día de los Muertos movies?! Yeah, what's behind THAT, I wonder.......

[(Anonymous)]

A lot of people are throwing Día de los Muertos movies and Halloween movies together a lot as well (which... yikes But it might explain the "ugh not another one" reactions).

[(Anonymous)]

Ayart

Yeah, I've heard Día de los Muertos referred to as "Mexican Halloween" the same way Cinco de Mayo is referred to as "Mexican 4th of July", which leads me to believe that the real underlying issue is "ugh, Mexicans".

I'm glad the director of BoL is excited for it! To me, it doesn't look as good as BoL was, but aside from the missteps made along the way, I'm excited about it. Not because I feel the need to see it, as with some Disney/Pixar movies (I don't get the hate Pixar gets in general or why people have to make the animation industry into something competitive, where you can only like one studio and you're trash if you like the big ones??), but because... it's more representation, and that's a good thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. And I hope it does well :( I'm Mexican myself so seeing more Mexican-centered stuff succeeding is a huge dream of mine. That, and I'm always up for such colorful films and this and BoL have already hit it for me.

I don't get the hate Pixar gets in general

Wait...what? When did this start?

[dahli]

I agree with the fair points, but I also think we should wait 'til the movie comes out to properly judge it. Having representation is nice and Disney trying to cater to a wider audience and having more diversity is also good.

Anyway just my opinion but lets wait and see.

[(Anonymous)]

My thing is that I feel / strongly suspect that people will see this, and absolutely fawn over it and how it's "so nice to see other cultures in movies! uwu " when The Book of Life did it first and (no doubt) did it better, especially considering how many Hispanic and Latinx people were behind the scenes (voices, story and whatnot).

I don't want Disney's take to overshadow TBOL, especially since Disney rejected TBOL when it was first pitched to them.

Yeah I'm bitter as fuck, I'm just quiet about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Is it possible that the new movie will draw some heat back to BoL? On the line of, 'If you liked this, here's this other really cool thing'?

Important info about trademarks

[(Anonymous)]

The trademark thing isn't a fair point at all. There's nothing wrong or unusual about trademarking the name of a holiday. There are already various trademarks for Day of the Dead and variations in the US trademark registry, or at least there were when this issue first came up.

I think people misunderstand how trademarks work and think it means you somehow own the constituent elements of the mark, when that's not how it works at all. I can't give the exact test off the top of my head but essentially all a trademark means is other people can't use the same or a similar mark in the same or similar areas of trade in a way that's likely to mislead consumers.

For example, Cadbury has trademarked the colour purple in my country. This doesn't prevent others from using the colour purple, it just prevents others from using the colour purple in their chocolate/confectionary wrappers in a way that might lead consumers to mistakenly believe their product is made by Cadbury.
