Rene Castillo directs this fantastic tale where a man arrives to the world of the dead where a worm welcomes him. Smiling skeletons and the Catrina herself show him that being dead is not so bad… Pay close attention to the character design, and animation and lets not forget that beautiful song that the Catrina sings.
