Why watch the movie Salma's Big Wish?
"'Day of the Dead' is the first movie from director Carlos Gutiérrez and, unlike movies like 'Coco', from Pixar, or 'The Book of Life', from 20th Century Fox, it deals with one of the biggest traditions of Mexico from a 100% Mexican perspective. The script may not be perfect, but it has enough action and humor to entertain the little ones. In addition, it is a technical achievement for the animation industry of that country - and seeing more CGI animations from other countries than the US always brings a freshness to the seventh art. It is also a more positive and cheerful perspective on death, which can be a good pretext to address this inexorable characteristic of life with children."
