From Zaphod's Blog Post:
I gotta admit right up front that I have been totally smitten with little
Miguel ever since I first saw a poster for the film, back in July of 2017. I
have been very eagerly awaiting the release of the Blu-ray/DVD and went ahead
and pre-ordered it from the Disney Movie Club in January.
Well, it arrived last Monday (February 26th). I've been a little behind in my
rippin' but here it is for you, now... :)
It also took longer because I determined to actually watch it before
'releasing' it to y'all, so I could make better commentary, knowing what I was
talking about, and because, dang it, I have entirely too many movies that I've
never watched!
(and, I've already watched it twice -- C'mon, I had to make the screenshots,
didn't I?!? :blush: )
What follows is my disjointed commentary, in no particular order (I just came
here to the post and typed while watching the movie, as thoughts and emotions
came to me...):
The artists and animators did such an outstanding job with Miguel's facial
expressions and 'emotions.' There were so many occasions during the movie
when tears came to my eyes as I watched him (and 'Awwww's were heard too many
times to even mention). Especially note the deep emotion he feels when he's
playing music (his true passion) -- You can feel the emotions coming through
the pixels...
While I don't believe in or support the belief of Dia de Los Muertos, the film
touched me and has a good message of family connectedness.
The vibrant, beautiful colors (representative of the Aztec and Mexican
cultures) used in the film were stunning and breathtaking -- Especially notice
the Alebrijes (animal spirit guides).
I had originally obfuscated the title of the posts, substituting asterisks for
the four letters of the movie's title -- While my web host officially thumbs
their nose at any DMCA takedown notices, I'm aware of how aggressive the
machine that is Disney has become of late. With this movie (literally) hot
off the presses, it might be tempting the fates, let's just hope we don't
incur the wrath of the Mouse :wink:
A word or three about the screenshots: I've said this before about many films,
but it's so, so true of this one: I could've taken a thousand snaps of cute
little Miguel and his cute little expressions and cute little antics :love:
I tried to keep them to a minimum, but, well -- You don't have to look at 'em
if you don't want to!
I ended up taking 95 from the DVD (236 from the Blu-ray!). If you'd like to
see the Blu-ray screenshots (several which might make good desktop wall-
papers!), here is an archive with all of them:
https://uloz.to/!PQPlERxo4utf/2380307brss-rar
And once again I was struck at how much better quality Blu-ray's can be over
DVD's -- In getting the same frames from both discs, the BR is so much clearer
and more vibrant...
Then there's Anthony Gonzalez, the Cutie that voices Miguel. While I have to
confess that I think the CGI Miguel is cuter, Anthony is no slouch in the
beauty department :) What really makes him stand out, though is the
'character' that he brings to the character, if you'll pardon the pun. He
brings such a strength and body to the role, and it makes the CGI character
nearly come to life. And he has a most wonderful singing voice, also! Listen
for his singing throughout the movie (and on the Soundtrack, too!).
And while we're on the subject of music, I want to point out that the CGI
guitar playing was quite authentic. I was watching Miguel's finger work, and
the chords were correct, as well as the melody fingering -- something a lot of
movies (especially animated films) completely overlook.
The final verdict? Zaphod gives this film a 9 out of 10, and highly recom-
mends its immediate and repeated viewing by one and all!
I've seen it twice already and look forward to many more viewings before I
croak :)
