!!This short provides examples of:
* AllCGICartoon: The short is animated entirely in 3D computer software.
* AnAesop: Even if our loved ones die, they are always with us in our hearts.
* BookEnds: The girl is pulled into the underworld by touching a blue flower. At the end, her mother puts the same flower in her hair before she returns to the living world.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The skeletons look rather spooky, especially since they have no eyes and just empty sockets, but they are jovial and friendly.
* FriendlySkeleton: The underworld is populated by living skeletons, who the girl finds scary at first. However, they turn out to be friendly and putting on a Dia de los Muertos celebration.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: At one point the female skeleton blindfolds herself and then uses her own severed arm to (attempt to) bludgeon a piñata, which makes the girl smile and giggle.
* InstantCostumeChange: When the girl and the female skeleton run behind a blue room divider decorated with skulls, several articles of clothing are tossed into the air, after which they emerge dressed in colorful gowns.
* MinimalistCast: Typical of a student-animated film, the list of characters is fairly small, consisting of the girl, the female skeleton, and several background skeletons.
* MountainOfFood: The female skeleton hands the girl a plate and piles a comically enormous amount of what looks like ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_de_muerto pan de muertos]]'' on it.
* NoNameGiven: None of the characters' names are given in the short. While the mother's gravestone appears, it does not have her name on it.
* OrWasItADream: When the girl returns to the living world, she seems to wonder if her experience was a dream, but notices she is still wearing the clothes her mother dressed her in, and the flower her mother put in her hair is still there.
* TheReveal: At the end of the festivities, the female skeleton reveals herself to be the girl's deceased mother. They share a tearful but happy embrace before the girl has to return to the living world.
* SilenceIsGolden: There is no spoken dialogue in the short, although the girl makes a few sounds such as gasps and giggles.
* SkeletalMusician: The first three skeletons that the girl meets are playing a violin, trumpet, and guitar.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: The girl's dead mother seen in the photo and the female skeleton she meets in the underworld are the same character.
