Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pitt spent years in Mexico absorbing its visual culture; the film blends Catholic iconography with pre-Columbian death imagery in ways no Mexican studio would greenlight.
This was Pitt's final major animated work before her death in 2019, completing a trilogy of Mexican-set shorts that began with 'Asparagus' (1979).
