So, 'Los muertitos' is this fascinating little gem from 1994, and I think it really captures a unique atmosphere, you know? It’s set in Tijuana, and the animation has this kind of raw, almost gritty feel that complements the themes of death and crossing borders. The pacing is quite interesting, not your typical fast-paced affair—more contemplative. The story revolves around a fortune teller who persuades the dead to migrate, which is just such a compelling premise, really. You get this blend of the spiritual and the very real struggles of crossing borders. The characters, even though they're animated, feel quite layered and expressive, which is a feat in itself. Overall, it's distinctive in its approach to such heavy themes without getting too heavy-handed.
