The Book of Life Official Trailer (MOVIECLIPS Trailers)

Guillermo del Toro thinks his latest movie, the animated 3-D fantasy The Book of Life, is so epic that you'll want to see it over and over again. Hit three showings in a day if you have the time.

"Go at 4, 6, and 8 [pm]," laughs del Toro, who produced the film. "Bring all the kids!" In all seriousness, the native Mexican who directed such movies as, Hellboy, Pacific Rim, Pan's Labyrinth and quit as director of The Hobbit before the trilogy was film, believes that viewers will appreciate the story as well as the incredible imagery and lessons more so the second or even third time around.

del Toro speaks from experience. He actually saw The Book of Life for the first time (on a big screen, that is) at Miami's Regal South Beach. The premiere brought out Gloria and Emilio Estefan as well as Mexican TV personality Monica Noguera and artist Alex Mijares, whom producers tapped to create a piece of art tied to the flick.

...Even though del Toro was an integral part of making this thing, he was nonetheless blown away.

"I couldn't imagine what the end product would be, the power of it," says del Toro of the movie, which is part love story, part folk tale, part LSD trip for your eyes. "The truth is I'm 50 years old, and I've never seen anything like it."
