* Manolo's mariachi friends try to help him serenade Maria with impromptu renditions of increasingly inappropriate songs, such as "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie. The result? Increasingly large cacti lobbed at their heads by Chuy.

** Pablo, the smallest of the group, starts up his turn of romantic wooing songs. Starts counting down aaaand...Cue giant potted cactus.
*** For bonus points: that countdown is the intro to "Woolie Bully". Not the most romantic choice.

* When Manolo returns from the Land of the Remembered, the first thing he does is kiss Maria. Chakal tries to interrupt, but Manolo holds up a finger to him, basically telling him to wait. The best part?''Chakal does''.

* The way Xibalba's [[JawDrop jaw drops]] [[spoiler:when Manolo wins their wager.]]

* The Candlestick Maker's response to when the thousands of bulls killed by the Sanchez family form into a giant monster bull.

* When director Jorge Gutierrez was animating the 2-D prologue, he snuck in [[WesternAnimation/ElTigre Manny, Frida and Puma Loco.]] At first, he did it without telling anyone... until people noticed them in the trailer, at which point Nickelodeon asked for royalties.

*** It gets better knowing that Jorge has taken a liking to this AU.
* As it turns out, even ''Jorge'' is fond of the [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/fe184ca785a8e493e0f4d3a590a5bb57/tumblr_nfzjcoKuGT1rs5q1xo1_500.png Tres Leches ship!]]
* After the team acquired the rights to use [[Music/{{Radiohead}} "Creep"]] (more on that in the Awesome page), they were able to get the rights to pretty much all of the other songs used in the film by using (in Jorge's words), "a little thing we call Catholic guilt." Basically, they told them, "Oh, so you're saying you're better than Radiohead?" and that was enough to let them get the rights.

* After Xibalba announces that the Land of the Remembered is under his control now, Luis exclaims that Le Muerte would never hand her domain over to him. When Xibalba casually states that she lost a bet, not only does Luis pause before admitting that she would do that, the '''entire Sanchez family''' nods in agreement behind him. How many bets as La Muerte lost?

* After Manolo's kill-less fight with a bull [[AlloftheOtherReindeer causes the town to ridicule and shame him]], there's actually a pretty funny shot where even the ''bull'' is sad and disappointed with him.

** Even funnier when you learn that Goth Kid ''is a Mexican'' according to the art of book.
