HALLOWEEN 21

 

Although nowadays it is a costume party, where children and adults collect and eat large quantities of candy, the origins of Halloween, which takes place on the last day of October, are not so joyful and its roots go back to an ancient Celtic festival more than 3,000 years ago.

The holiday arrived as such in the United States and Canada in 1840, via Irish immigrants, but did not begin to be celebrated on a mass scale until 1921, when the first Halloween parade was held in Minnesota.

Today, the only spooky spirits you'll see this October 31 will be the witch and ghost costumes worn by our friends and family.

Miguel is a child who dreams of being a musician, but his family forbids him because his great-great-grandfather, musician, abandoned them, and they want to obligate to Miguel to be a shoemaker, like all family members. 

By accident, Miguel enters the Land of the Dead, from where he can only leave if a deceased relative grants him his blessing, but his great-great-grandfather refuses to let him return with the living if he does not promise that he will not be a musician. Because of that, Miguel escapes from her and starts looking for his great-great-grandfather.

How important is the tradition for Miguel and his family?

Why does Miguel's grandmother not want music to play in her family? 

Why does Grandma Coco remember her father?

What are the ALEBRIJES ? The alebrijes are the "guide spirits" in the form of animals, which help the dead in the transit between life and death.
