“Young scamp Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) shines shoes by day and worships at his secret hand-built shrine to peacocking troubadour Erenesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt) at night. By strange quirk, his family abide by a strict no music policy, down to a romantic altercation from a few generations past. Miguel is transported to the Land of the Dead on—coincidentally—the annual Day of the Dead, where he must learn a few lessons about pride and the importance of memory before he’s able to return back to the nest.” – Little White Lies

Reviews

“Funny, irreverent, and eye-popping.”
