Based on a traditional Guatemalan tale, The Night the Animals Danced is about a young boy named Pablo and a bizarre celebration he stumbles onto in the forest. Touching themes of both Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and kindness to animals, the magical story provides children a glimpse of the oral traditions of Guatemala.
