In the Spanish dubbing of the film, La Muerte is called
"La Catrina." This is obviously "Posada's Catrina," a
popular iconic skeletal lady that has become associated with the festivities of
the Día de Muertos. Her main attribute is a gorgeous hat. In the film, the modern
Mexican icon (La Catrina) and the classic icon (Lady Death) are fused in a
single role as the ancient Mayan goddess of death, ruling over one of the lands
of the dead.
