  1. The character design for Carmen Sánchez (Manolo’s mother) was inspired by legendary Golden Age of Mexican Cinema actress Yolanda Montes AKA Tongolele. Montes passed away in February this year at the age of 93

  2. Obviously, “The Book of Life” is centered around #DiaDeMuertos the annual (November 1st & 2nd) , Mexican holiday that honors the memory of people who have passed away. Usually, it involves altars at home and/or in public dedicated to friends & family know as ofrendas that features flowers, candles and favorite foods/items of passed loved ones (these are the ones at our and my grandparents’ house)

  3. Maria’s last name of “Posada” is a reference to Mexican political lithographer José Guadalupe Posada. In the Spanish language version of the film La Muerte is called La Catrina in honor of that iconic #DiaDeLosMuertos etching “La Calavera Catrina” by Posada

  4. Director Jorge Gutierrez’s vision was to have finished film look similar to traditional concept artwork which is why it looks very exaggerated compared to what people have come to expect from North American animation
