If you want to avoid the noise and crowds of our day of the dead festival party, then why not come to the library earlier in the day, when it will be quieter and less busy? You can chill out with our animated film in this much-loved technicolour musical bonanza that follows the adventures of a young boy who is accidentally transported to the Land of the Dead.

This will be a relaxed performance.
