This artworks were so ingeniously crafted such that each character is distinct from each other. The human characters are made to look like wooden puppets. The most striking feature of this film is the animation style. On the Day of the Dead, the deities interfere with the outcome, leading to an adventure which will bring the characters from the land of the living to the land of the dead and back. Meanwhile, the two lords of the underworld, La Muerta (mistress of the Land of the Remembered) and Xibalba (master of the Land of the Forgotten) take a bet as to who Maria will end up with. When Maria returns to town after several years, Joaquin and Manolo vie for her heart. Manolo is discouraged by his father from his musical aspirations, forcing him instead to take up bullfighting, which is the traditional Sanchez family occupation. Joaquin gets seriously into training as a military officer. Musical Manolo, scrappy Joaquin and smart Maria are three close childhood pals.
