Long Live Death!

About This Movie

Long Live Death! is quite a unique animated piece that dives deep into themes of loss and acceptance. The story follows young Aurelio who, after seeing his ailing mother, crosses into the afterlife—a world both haunting and beautifully animated. What sets it apart is how it tackles such heavy themes through a child’s perspective, blending whimsical art with darker undertones. The pacing takes you on an emotional journey, aided by the character of La muerte, who serves as both guide and mentor. The visuals are striking, and the practical effects, while modest, really add a layer of depth to this fantastical narrative. Not your typical kids' fare, that's for sure.
